Its Tick Time....

I pulled one of these nasty creatures off my kitchen floor the other night and wanted to puke on it. Instead I flushed the little bugger. EWW!
SO with that being said they are everywhere! Scour, check and look! I am going to be posting lots of info in the next few days so bear with me. Please share, print, save and spread the word. One of the documents is a list of suggested websites and suggested reading. If you would like to add to this go for it, Id love to add it to my list too!
Thanks everyone and lets try to be tick free!

Some great books!

Have had the opportunity to preview and read some great books. here is the short list:

The Night Circus
Arcadia
House of Velvet and Glass
The Man Who Planted Trees (the new updated version)
Chomp
Cinder

Have also been reading The Hunger Games trilogy. Don't finish the second one with out the third one handy... Dang cliffhanger!!

Had the opportunity to meet Richard Russo and Andre Dubus iii a couple weeks ago. Kim was able to come down from her store Green Mountain Books and Prints. We had a fantastic time and listened to the two authors banter for a bit and had our books signed. I am truly blessed to live in a small town that treasures reading and promoting local authors. Thank you.

A list of most of my books can be found on Goodreads. It's not all of th. that is a work in progress!

Lots and lots of galleys

I have been getting lots of galleys for book reviews lately. They are stacking up on my bookshelves everywhere, much to the annoyance of my family. Who have to pick their way around them.
I have been picking through them and sorting in order to read. Slowly but surely reviews will be posted.
Life has slowed down a bit for me so please bear with me.

BookSneeze Book Review - Quotable Rogue

I was generously provided this book sometime ago but with the holidays got distracted!

Quotable Rogue is a great book if you are looking for a collection of quotes from Sarah Palin. It was easy to move through to find each subject I was looking for. But as for a general read through type book it really didn't work for me. I do keep it handy to reference because I do like to have her nearby, lol.

The copy I have is well thumbed and dog eared. I am sure I will get much more use of it over the years. Palin is a great source of inspiration for us home moms and women in general.

Thank you for providing me with this wonderful book!

New jog bra from Jockey and Purex!!

Soo cool I got a sample jog bra to test out. Along with full sized sample of new Purex laundry detergent and the scent crystals!
Very excited to try them all and review!
Keep tuning in ;)

WOAH! Christmas Already??

Christmas season is upon us already. And of course I wait to the last minute to get the ball moving. Our house is decorated, tree is up, lights in windows, garland up and the nativity is set up on the mantle. The stockings are out but waiting to be hung, we don't want them to be burned by our raging fireplace. We like a hot fire :) so the stocking sit off to the side waiting patiently.
I on the other hand am not so patient. I acquired a lot of beautiful fabric and want to play play play!
So once I finish off a few household chores I will be planted in front of my One Stitch Wonder, the 50's era Kenmore sewing machine and headed to town!
Will post more as time goes on.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

New inspiration!

Wow I just found this amazing book at our library today! It's called "Skinny Quilts and Table Runners 2"
Wow! Here are a few Picts I took of some of the content.
Cannot wait to delve!
