We have a winner!

The random number generator has spoken! Congratulations to Octavia of Three Blessings at Home! She has won the Astronomy pack giveaway that was posted as part of the Great Curriculum Clean-out.

I have to tell you all that this contest has been a blast for me. It was fun to get comments in my inbox every day and check out other people's blogs. Wow. There are so many interesting and inspiring bloggers out there!

And I must also thank Luna for making me just about choke on my Dove sugar-free truffle laughing at this comment: "makes me want to put on my glasses, don a lab coat and yell "SCIENCE!" all spiffy like." HA! Naturally I had to go watch the "She Blinded me with Science" video on Youtube. I think Thomas Dolby is seared into my head from college. You could figure out my age from that statement, but please don't try.

Anyway, Congratulations Octavia and happy star-gazing!

It's Free Curriculum time again!
