A contest but you've got to hurry!

Here is a great contest, found on Holly's blog. Entry is due by midnight tonight, so hurry!

And, yet, here is another contest hosted by Marsha in celebration of her second blogversary . . . you have to list three things you want to have on an island and why:

1) Entire set of Encyclopedia Britannica in large print -- it would keep me occupied forever . . . in large print for when my eyes start going bad (gotta be prepared).
2) Seed packets for vegetables and fruit appropriate to the climate -- cause you gotta eat
3) Sheep and my knitting kit (including my spinning wheel and drop spindle) -- for incredibly obvious reasons

So, no. 3 is a little more than "a thing" but hey, its only make believe. Right?
