Kindle Report~How To Find Free Kindle Books

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

James and I got a Kindle Touch for Christmas. I seem to be using it more than he does, but he’s interested at least. I’m the bigger reader around here.I wanted to get it to encourage him to read a little bit more–we’ll see if my plan worked. I’m reading more at least! (haha not [...]

Pin It

OK! This Is Rather Cool!

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

A few weeks ago, I got a message on Etsy asking to use one of my photos in a magazine in The Netherlands. Hmmm sounds a little fishy to me. They sent me a link to their blog and said I could watermark the photos for online use.  I decided to give it a try. [...]

True Confessions

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

I haven’t posted one of these in ages.   1. I hate cupcake wrappers because they waste quite a bit of cupcake and frosting (sometimes!) When I was a kid, I used to chew the wrapper to get it all off–eww! 2. I’m more of a frosting girl. I could skip the cake and eat [...]

Compassion Water Of Life~Results

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

THANK YOU so much to each person who donated to James’ Compassion Water Project. The final total was $169.50. He received some of that through donations, and some by working hard baking cookies!

This & That Chat

My Christmas knitting is done. Although, I DID see an Angry Birds hat that James would love but I  think starting a knitting project at this point isn’t so smart! We got a little dusting of snow last night. James is so excited although he wishes it were enough to crank up the snow blower. [...]

Comments

Recently this blog received it’s 10,000th comment! I used to give away a little something when I hit comment milestones. Since I didn’t announce this earlier, I’ll leave it open for a little bit. The next 25 comments (different people not 25 comments from 1 person…) will be entered in a drawing for a prize [...]

My Favorite Childhood Book

Friday, November 4th, 2011

  When I was 3, I received Beth’s Happy Day for my  birthday. I loved this little book about a little girl who shared her birthday happiness with her neighbors. Somewhere along the line in our multiple moves, Beth’s Happy Day got thrown away lost. I remember realizing my book was gone and being so [...]
