What I’ve Learned in 2008 and a Contest!
I’ve gathered together my 12 favorite posts, one from each month over the last year and would like to start the new year off with a contest. And since I’m competitve, so will this challenge be! It’s a simple “whoever comments the most” will win. Of course, since there are only 12 posts there can…
Read MoreNever Give Up!
The moving boxes are almost packed and put away. We’re just about settled into our new home and are making good use of it. In fact, over the holidays we had a total of four big “gatherings” in three days with miscellaneous friends popping in and out! It’s been a blast and exhausting, and I…

and leaving… For a writing weekend! It’s been too long and I rarely have time to write out home, but the words to my new opening have been flowing and then stopping and flowing and stopping. I’m just gonna open up the flood gates for the weekend and hope I get carried away! Hope your…

What I say: This is book three for the thrill seeking young adults and adults out there. I haven’t been able to read this series yet, but a well read 16 year old friend of mine couldn’t put the first two down even though she described them as “different” and “creepy.” She can’t wait to…

Thought I’d join those hibernating bloggers for the Christmas break. If you see a post, it’s already been scheduled. If you wonder what I’ll be doing while hibernating, well it won’t be sleeping. Here’s a short list. Working on my WIP Unpacking boxes Organizing my school room…again. Unpacking boxes Watching movies Figuring out some blog…
Read MoreChristmas Ponderings
Christmas Eve should be relaxing–spent with family near a crackling fire with games and hot chocolate, or perhaps, attending a Christmas Eve service at church… These thoughts went through my mind last night as I swept and mopped the kitchen floor, cleaning up after a never ending day of baking projects and the children’s card-making…
