The spitting image...
I love it when I run across a picture of a guy who looks exactly as I've pictured one of the heroes in my books. That happened today when someone forwarded me a link to Love Western Romances where Within My Heart is nominated for the Best Western Romance of 2010.
If you have a second, click over there and tell me if you don't think the guy in the upper left hand corner is the spitting image of

Christmas Food Court Flash Mob
Loved this!
I love watching flash mobs. So cool that a group of people get together and practice and practice to learn a song (and sometimes choreography) in order to surprise another group of people with the goal of making them smile, of giving them joy, and––in this instance––of glorifying Christ. Love it!
Thanks to the Hallelujah Chorus Food Court Flash Mob!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day has been a good one. Here in Nashville, it's been a nice day with family and lots of delicious food, and now my daughter and I are piled up on the sofas watching the Taylor Swift and Beyonce specials. Nothing says Thanksgiving like Taylor and Beyonce, huh? ;) Ah well...it's fun girl time.

Following, and a free Kindle book for writers
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me, will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
Whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
It's a little hard to miss the message, isn't it? You cannot belong to Jesus without following Him. But there's another simple truth boldly written

I LOVE these cards!
Do you love giving homemade cards but aren't crafty in the least? Or maybe you are crafty but you either don't have the time––or those cool little scissors––to make your own?
I've got the solution: Megan Brooke Handmade cards. Here are some of the creations I recently ordered from Megan (who's as sweet as she can be!). I love all the details, and ribbons, and textures she uses. Now to address

Hope for the hopelessly craft-challenged
Hey all! Tammy here. I recently saw something my sweet daughter, Kelsey, had made and begged her to blog and share. She agreed! But get ready, she's in rare form…
Everything changes when autumn rolls around: the air becomes deliciously crisp, the temperatures start to drop, the leaves begin to turn crunchy, and like clockwork, the spirit of Martha Stewart (or a lesser-talented relative) takes

Christian Fiction Online Magazine
The November issue is available, and features sweet Susie May Warren. Check it out...
I'm excited about writing today and am already looking forward to my Lean Cuisine Cheese Ravioli for lunch––I know, but I ate breakfast early––then to watching Dancing with the Stars tonight! I'm really enjoying watching Bristol Palin grow and improve each week. She has such a natural beauty. And she's so
