O Christmas Tree

Hubby and I put up the tree this past weekend. I tried to get all of it in the shot. I'll try for some better shots another time. The topper is made from ribbons and I love the popcorn/cranberry strings. The popcorn makes the room smell yummy.


This is a shot of part of the greenery that goes all around the archway between the living room and kitchen. There are more Care Bear ornaments. I made them back in the 1980's.

Quickie Contest--First Winner!

QUICKIE CONTEST!



We're all so busy this time of year. There are halls to be decked, food to be prepared and presents to buy. Then there are all the social obligations, Christmas pageants and the like to schedule in. There's not much time for reading. But there's always time for a Quickie.

No, not that kind of quickie. (Although that's not a bad idea either.) But a quick read. Something you can pick up and read in one sitting while you're relaxing after a hard day of work or shopping.

I want to help you out this holiday season, so I'm giving away a PDF download of one of my Ellora’s Cave Quickies each Friday between November 30th and December 21st.

Just go to my website and click on the “Contests” page for details on how you can enter for a chance to win.

Winning names will be chosen at random and announced each Friday.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Ellora's Cave

Ellora's Cave Publishing was launched on November 28, 2000. I published my first book with Ellora's Cave back in October 2004. I'm so glad to be part of the EC family and wish you many more wonderful years!

Shortbread Cookie Recipe

Want to know my simple but delicious shortbread cookie recipe? Stop by Reviews by Mom and Me and check it out. Cookies are light and yummy!

Beware, there is a typo in the recipe. My bad! The baking time should be 18-20 minutes, not 120 minutes. :)

Cyber Monday

Today is Cyber Monday. Lots of great deals online if you're so inclined. Shop until your mouse squeaks.

Me, I'll be writing.
