Truth Or Dare

pizza!”

Celebrate the Small Things-October 21, 2016

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain! Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



Last weekend my boys carved pumpkins and helped us build a scarecrow.  They had a great time doing it!

WEP October Challenge-Gazing Into the Abyss

It's time for another WEP Challenge!  A big shout out to Yolanda Renee and Denise Covey for making all this possible!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this decidedly sad and twisted tale.

It's Friday!  Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain!  Tonja Drecker and I are her co-hosts.



My kids helped me make a chocolate cake for my birthday, and as you can imagine, it was a messy but fun experience.



I got my print copy of Circuits & Slippers this week.  I think it looks amazing!























I'm feeling much better after that nasty cold I had last week. I'd

Today I'm continuing my October blog tour with Tamara Narayan and a post about dealing with critique.  Some critiques are valuable and have much insight to offer, and some are simply mean-spirited and aren't worth worrying about.  How can you tell the difference?  Stop by Tamara's blog to find out!



Have a great day!
