Okay. I finally broke down and decided to use my points for some gift cards. I ordered three (3) $50 Borders gift cards. I can hardly wait for them to come in. I will use them towards Christmas gifts for my grandchildren.

My granddaughter, Samantha, already loves to "read". I am hoping that my grandson will learn to love books as much as the rest of the family!

I know that my oldest daughter loves to read, so this will be a great way to get her birthday covered. Her birthday is in January. I will also buy books for my youngest daughter in Florida for her birthday in December. (They both get a handmade Yo-Yo Quilt for Christmas.)

Now if I can just hide the gift cards from my husband who will want to use them for Star  Wars and Battlestar Galactica books...

Good thing ya ordered them now, cause I ordered one two+ weeks ago and still haven't received mine. For some reason the process of getting them in a timely manner has slowed way down. They used to take a week..

Congrats! :) Gift cards are so much fun.

Sometimes it took the full 4 weeks to get mine and other times they came within a couple.

Way to Go!! That's what I did with my gift cards last year. Never to soon to start them reading.

Those will be well spent I'm sure!

Note to Lynn above, I redeemed for a $25 Home Depot on 10/4 and it just arrived today. So you should get yours soon.
