That's right, it's time for all of you looky-loos to delurk and say hello. Schmutzie, Sweetney and Jenandtonic said so, and who are we to argue with the likes of them?
If you need a little encouragement, let me just say that there will be prizes. Three (3) lucky commenters will be drawn at random to each receive an Average Jane gift pack that includes:
- A copy of "The Five Generations Cookbook," compiled and published by my grandmother to showcase recipes from family and friends. Someday I'm going to start a blog based on this book, so you'll be getting a sneak preview.
- A sheet of Threadless stickers
- A surprise, bonus gift.
Doesn't that sound like fun? Even if you answered "no," speak up anyway!
Prizes! I'm going to have to start doing that on my blog. Nothing like a bit of bribery. My husband's side of the family have a cookbook/family history as well and we love it. There's nothing like recreating Grandma's lemon meringue pie to make a boy happy!

I'm not a lurker, and I already have plenty of threadless stickers (and shirts). But I might steal this for my own blog (sans prizes, because I'm selfish and lazy).

I've only recently found you through Toner Mishap and have been reading, though I often find myself playing catch-up on my blog subscription feed and therefore read posts from prolific bloggers like yourself in ganged fashion, hence my late reply to this one. : )
