Winter Holiday Movies and Winter Realities

This holiday season I treated myself to watching a lot of Christmas romance movies. While I enjoyed the stories and loved the characters, I struggled to suspend my disbelief in the outdoor winter scenes. In many of the movies—even those where a snowstorm closed airports, roads, and towns—the characters headed outside in below freezing temperatures ... Read more

Bidding you fond farewell, for a little while

I’ve been posting here monthly for about two years now and it feels like yesterday that Felicia introduced me as one of the fillies. It’s been wonderful posting here with all of you. I hope you enjoyed getting to know me, too. Over the past year, I’ve signed two contracts one with Love Inspired Suspense ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl — Karen Kay

Howdy! Because we spend our Christmas’s with my daughters and family, I thought I’d take you through some Christmas’s past.  Here we see one Christmas when we got snowed in.  This is a picture I snapped when my husband and our faithful dog, Wolf, were shoveling our deck. This next picture is one where we ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Karen Witemeyer

I love to decorate for Christmas. Almost all of the items that I have collected over the years carry sentimental value. Some I can remember picking out with my husband 30 years ago. Others I remember crafting with love as a new mom. Some were gifts from friends and family. Others were made by the ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Kit Morgan

  I’m in California this Christmas, and so this isn’t the usual holiday for me. I managed to get a tree up and as that’s all I’ve managed here, I thought I’d share what the cabin in Oregon looks like instead, along with another place I can wind up spending Christmas. In Oregon, we have ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Jeannie Watt

Happy Day After Christmas! I have to admit that my decorating has become more free form as time goes on. This year my two-year-old granddaughter helped decorate the tree, so we put the “special” decorations at the top and then let her direct the rest, using those wonder plastic Christmas balls that never break–even when ...

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Linda Broday

One of the things I love about Christmas is the beautiful colors and decorations. For various reasons, I don’t put a Christmas tree up any longer but I love pretty wreaths and always have one on my door and several on my walls. I wondered what wreaths signify and found some surprising and not so ... Read more
