I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Earlier this week, I realized I haven’t added a book to the big Stephen King giveaway box in a while. So, I thought I would pop in real quick and add another book (or three) to the Sundays with Stevie Giveaway box! If you haven’t heard about my giveaway, please read THIS POST for all the info! What’s going in the box? this month I am adding paperback copies of: The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King Release…
Read MoreBook Haul – July 6 2012
Book Haul thingy, in which I show you…some books I found in my mailbox. *gasp* =D So glad vacation is over! I didn’t realize how much I was missing my book “stuff” and my YouTube! So good to be back! Here is a small haul of the books I have gotten over the last two weeks. Only four. I swear I will never agree to “no books and no YouTube” during vacation again. EVER. This was TORTURE! Oh well, at least the books I did get were AWESOME!! haha!…

If you decide to use the swatch, please photograph or upload your project to somewhere online (you can use my gallery, your blog, or anywhere you like!) and leave me a link down in the comments because I would love to see what you create! Please link to the blog post or the gallery page, not just the main page of the site. That way we don’t have to spend hours looking for the post. I’ve not decided if this is going to be a weekly or monthly feature. We’ll…
Read MoreRevisiting childhood…
So for a while now, I have been wanting to go out and revisit the little red house we lived in when I was little. I’m not sure how long we lived out there in the country, but it is the first house I remember. When I think about “when I was a kid” or “good times” it always goes back to that house. Before school. Before having to deal with “Society” and “bullies” and just all the bull shit that comes from being around other people. It is located…

You know…one of my favorite things lately is collecting quotes. Some are quotes from books, some from famous people, some even from friends. It doesn’t matter to me in the least. If the words ‘strike’ me, then I jot them down. This week, it just seemed a natural thing for me – when I sat down to make up a color swatch for a challenge for the forum – I thought why not do a quote challenge too? So here is this weeks quote: “It is better to be hated…
Read MoreHot July Releases in HORROR
Hi folks! As I’ve mentioned, I am part of a collab channel on youtube called BookishDays. At the end of the month one of the things we do is go over what all’s coming out the next month. My genre is horror, of course. So here is my list of what to look for during the month of July. I imagine I missed a few, I was having to sneak and make my video (was supposed to be “on vacation”). So if you know of anything else “scary” coming out…
Read MoreTemplate Tuesday
So its the start of a new month, and I realized something… I kind of miss scrapbooking. =) After a much over due hiatus from all crafting, I am kind of feeling a little mojo creeping back in. This is a good thing! I decided I would host one of my old challenges on my private forum for July, and when I sat down…somehow I ended up hosting THREE! YAY! So here is my most recent template. It is for 12 x 12 pages, layered PSD format for cross…
Read Moreand baby makes three (kids)
One of the best things we did on this years vacation was spend some time with my littlest niece. =D I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss having a baby in the house. Totally. Lying. Now that my youngest is almost twelve, I really do have days where I look at my kids and think “*&%$, Im old” followed immediately by “I miss cuddlewuddles” *insert sadface pout here*. LOL Anyway, so this year I pestered my SIL into loaning me a baby for a few days. Ok,…
Read MoreIts a Company thang
This years company picnic for Mr C’s j-o-b was at Holiday World again. It doesn’t hurt that the people that own my Mr’s work – are siblings to the people that own Holiday World. lol. The kids love the company picnic. Me, not so much. It was hot as Hades out there this year. I love that Holiday World has free sunscreen and free drinks. Unfortunately, their sunscreen is more like sun attractant. All of us that used the sunscreen got FRIED. Mr C, did not. Did not use it. …
