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

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Mary Connealy

I had a different plan for the decor crawl. but then I was in some cute little shop, not really looking for a front door hanger because I have a perfectly nice one  and I saw this: It just spoke to me.  Peace on Earth Dear God, Let there be peace on Earth It seems ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Cheryl Pierson

Hi Everyone! Christmas is probably my very favorite time of year–every single year. My husband says I’m still “a big ol’ fifth grader” when it comes to Christmas, and he’s probably right about that. Today I thought I would just share a few of my decorations–I don’t ever do ‘trendy’ things because my decorations and ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Jo-Ann Roberts

In our family, the Christmas holiday is full of delicious food and decking the halls. As native New Englanders, our decor reflects old-fashioned themed displays. Vintage St. Nicholas figurines, crocheted snowflake ornaments, Buffalo-plaid, greens, holly berries, and seed lights on our mantle. So, get yourself a hot drink, slip into a cozy Christmas sweater, and ... Read more

Christmas Decor Crawl ~ Pam Crooks

Thank you for stopping by as I kick off our two-week long CHRISTMAS DECOR CRAWL! Over the span of 48 years spending Christmas together, my husband and I have had relatively few Christmas trees in our marriage.  As newlyweds, we bought live trees, but the cost (and finding needles in the carpet in July) compelled ...

Mail-Order Brides…and Husbands ~ by Jodie Wolfe

I’ve always found the topic of mail-order brides fascinating. Men predominantly settled the western part of the United States. They went in search of gold, to build ranches and homesteads and soon found themselves desiring to have a wife for companionship and to enjoy the new life they’d built. They didn’t want to go back ... Read more

The Making of an Audiobook ~ by Pam Crooks

Even with my long career as a published writer, I’ve never had an audio made of my books. In my own defense, though, audiobooks were never much of a thing until the last few years.  Amazon and their Audible program is much to credit for that, and writers are constantly looking for ways to market ...
