Skye’s Monday Update: Attack of the Crickets!

Time for another Monday update!!  It’s already after 4pm here and this is the first time I’ve sat down at my computer today :) I guess that could be good or bad, but I had an early lunch with hubby after we went to pay our rent and then we spent the last few hours […]

WeWriWa: Beyond the Divide, excerpt 3 (#Paranormal UF #8Sunday)

What can we do with “B”? #kinkday

I’m writing this post from a hotel room since I’m out of town visiting my grandpa, so this will probably be short and sweet. I’ll start with a brush, but not just any brush–every kind of brush you can find ;) The back of a paddle style hairbrush can make a nice, well, paddle. Paintbrushes […]
