My Summer Vacation
Just writing “My Summer Vacation” made me want to add by Connie Sue. LOL I felt like a second grader again. Well, not in my body but in my head. My Summer Vacation: Things that I have learned during this trip to San Diego, Carlsbad and Murrieta California, visiting my kids. Number One: Driving I do not like traffic. To this I must add EVERY AGRESSIVE driver fiber in my body kicked RIGHT BACK IN! I really had thought that being in the laid-back Sandpoint Idaho for the last 8 years had fixed that. It did not. Number TWO: I HATE Traffic BUT NO Traffic Scares Me I hate traffic BUT when it’s a freeway with ZIP ZERO NADDA cars on it, on a Thursday at 3 pm I GET SCARED!! Never did find out what was happening. But, Alice did a video that I posted on Instagram (Mainly showing off her new fingernails…. and her video skills aren’t the…

Attention Audio Book Fans!
I’m a big audio book fan. I listen on the treadmill (HELLO!! ME! Treadmill! 4 times now. It’s a start! I’m slow as molasses in the winter but I’m doin’ it!) Anyway, I listen on the treadmill, in the car, and with earphones at night to go to sleep, sitting here typing this post! I love ’em! I found Chirp. I don’t even know HOW I found Chirp. Every day they email me with a new set of deals. Some as low as .99¢ If the title or cover of the book appeals to me, I click Learn More Then I hit play sample. Now, if you are like me, you KNOW if the reader’s voice is one that will annoy the #$(*#$ out of you or not. The app is free on your phone. There are tons of books. Tons of different genres. TONS of deals and way cheaper than Audible. This isn’t a sponsored post, however, I get…

Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn #ReadLoveLettering #ad #SheSpeaks
If there was ever a book that screamed out to me Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn is it. I truly enjoyed this book. First, it’s a love story. Yeah! I am a huge romance reader. Oh how I love me some mushy stuff. Second. Letters. Letters as in fancy script, funky script. Frilly script, skinny script. Wait. What?? Yes, the book is a love story. Girl ruins guys engagement… wait, what? (BTW it’s NOT a spoiler. This happens in the first few pages of the book. I would never spoil a good read for you! HONEST!!) Love Lettering is also a love story over fonts. I have always been attracted to signs. Here in Sandpoint Idaho there are tons of unique signs. I think Meg (the main character in the book) would be in Heaven here! Yes, I sat in the car finishing this love story while The Husband had his doctor appointment. I decided to snap a picture of…

Day 15 Photo-A-Day BOOKS!
Photo-A-Day prompt is Books, books, books!! Day 15 and I still haven’t run out of pictures from my amazing craft-room. This is my very own personal Photo-A-Day challenge. For the month of March I am posting pictures from inside my HUGE craft-room. This is helping me get motivated to blog more often and share what an amazing space I have. Yes, these pictures show you what a hoarder, collector and wack-a-doddle I am. Now in my defense my Dad and my Grandfather were major hoarders so it’s in my DNA. Today’s prompt is BOOKS. Between my love of antiques. My love of keeping family mementos and my love of reading; well that just means I have yet another collection that my craft-room hosts. In one of my cabinets I have a mix of autographed books, books to read and books I just can’t seem to part with. Craft books, how-to books. As with everything in my craft-room there is no…

GIVEAWAY!! 30 Days To Understanding The Bible (In 15 minutes a day!) #Biblein30Days
My followers know it’s been a very rough year for me. My Mom passed away two days after Christmas. Then we moved to Sandpoint Idaho 1348 miles away from California where my kids and my perfect little Alice live. Moving is hard. Moving is draining! Moving for someone who never throws anything away (yes, I am a hoarder!) makes it seem like the boxes will never stop appearing. Who knows when I’ll get everything unpacked? Add to that my anger and disappointment in how our contractor installed cabinets in the kitchen and my craft-room. I just feel like 2018 needs to be OVER already. Then there is the whole friends thing! I don’t make friends easily. At 60 I feel like it’s even harder. When I had kids I found friends at the school, after school activities, the park! Even when watching Alice for her first 6 years I found friends to hang out with. With a new town, a…

Harper and the Night Forest By Cerrie Burnell
I am all about NON candy Easter Basket Goodies. Thank you Cerrie Burnell for this adorable book!! The last thing that 6-year-old Alice needs is MORE energy!! Seriously guys I can barely keep up as it is!!! Add sugar?! No! Well, okay maybe just before hand-off to the Momma and Dadda. (Insert evil laugh here!! Maybe a little hand clapping too….. I told you Selena there would be payback for your teen years; especially 13 through 15. Sorry, that’s a whole different post). AS I was saying… I’m looking for Easter Basket items that aren’t candy. One of my very favorites are books. I love giving books. Every holiday. Every bribe. Every chance I get!! Alice is a book lover. She has always adored being red too. Now that she can read (I’m SHOCKED at what an excellent reader she is too!) Alice devours books! I LOVE THAT!!! She reads herself to sleep every-night. AT SIX!!! How cool is that?!!? Now,…
