Happy Thanksgiving!!

Have a GREAT, Excited... too-much-to-eat, lost of messes, mashed potatoes on the ceiling, laughter up and down the halls, awesome Thanksgiving!

:-D  I'm off to grab the newspaper and see how early I want to shop tomorrow. Lol. Hey... it's a part of the experience!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Snapshot - Gobble-Gobble!!

This is fun... Trinity took a bazillion pictures of her cookie-turkey that she made at school. She wanted to bring it with her to Thanksgiving, but it kept losing tail-feathers and eventually she decided that she took enough pictures that she could share her creation and no one really needed to see it in person, anyway... so it didn't make it to Thanksgiving, after all.

I think it's funny how she wanted so many candid shots with LIFE in the background. That'd be fuzzy-me! Me washing dishes, me cooking dinner...

Finally... me on my b-day. I get the hugs when I can from my busy-busy kiddledids. The two that are passing me up in height wouldn't pose, of course. No worries... I'll catch 'em for The Christmas Picture!!  :-D

Thx, Alyce @ At Home with Books for hosting Saturday Snapshot!!!  :-D

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Monday - Holiday!!

The best sort of Monday is the one that you can sleep in for!  :-D  The kids have this week off for Conferences and Thanksgiving... and this mamma's grateful to sleep in!!!  (Or rather, not wake everyone up to catch a bus by 7:30am.)  YEA!

:-D

Thanksgiving means "birthday" to me. Yep. I've been dropping hints about gift cards to Barnes & Noble for awhile now. :-) My birthday isn't 'til Saturday, but I generously offer to celebrate on Thanksgiving when we're all together - saves everyone an extra drive out to my house, you know. Plus... I can shop on Black Friday. *waggles eyebrows*


This week The Emperor's Conspiracy comes out. I rec'd an early review copy from Edelweiss - 'cause look at that gorgeous cover! - and it was one of my favorite reads this year. I emailed the author requesting an interview and I can't wait to share it. *rubs hands gleefully* I'm a sucker for fog. 

Speaking of new releases, have you seen the final Twilight movie? I'm going to catch it in the theater, I think, but I'm really nervous after that Part 1. I'm scared to check reviews. I want it to be good so badly. Eep!

Last week I announced the start of Prism Book Tours and my new website and first tour book - Evie's Knight. 

Every time I review an author &/or book, I get all these fun ideas. They almost burst out in every direction. Interviewing Kimberly Krey was a blast. She is such a fun character and her book has so many goodies... I'm goin' all out with the Tour!! One of my favorite mini-themes is taking on the art assignment on Page 31 -

"The professor continued. "Each of you will create a piece of art that represents a momentous event in your life. You'll need to select a partner within the class to analyze this piece.'"

I've got some artistic types thinking of art pieces already! Doesn't that sound fun?! I'm not an artist, but I came up with a momentous moment I want to portray in a picture. (Just thinking about it inspired a story idea. Lol.)  There's still room on the Tour if you want to get in!!  Sign up & get more scoop HERE!

I'm currently reading Evie's Knight. :-)  It's all part of plannin' my first totally awesome Tour!!


Sheila @ Book Journey hosts the awesome Monday Whatcha Reading share. Thank you!!

Catch my newest thoughts on whatever I'm reading in the Bible at this other place I moved those posts. I've wandered over to the prophet Elisha's life, which, well... he was a wild guy. Isn't this a cool lookin' button? I like it. I think I'd like to learn how to do graphic art stuff. 

Indeed, it is moments like this where I feel I must quote Lady Catherine, herself, at the one and only Rosings Park -

"It is of all subjects my delight... There are few people... I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient."

Since I now have a print copy of Pride & Prejudice thanks to Ruth, I can refer to page 113 specifically rather than vaguely waiving virtual fingers at it. Of course, I refer to art rather than music. But any subject might be inserted wonderfully.

Giveaway Hop

Giveaway Hop from I Am A Reader, Not A Writer... over 200 blogs participating!

It's November... the leaves are falling, or already covered in snow, or... the rain is steady. I can get Christmas music on the satellite radio while raiding the kids' trick-or-treat buckets. It's a unique time of the year, maybe even the calm before the storm of the Christmas season?

TIME FOR A GREAT GIVEAWAY!!!!

Ok, I don't know about "great", but... I really had a blast offering ANY book. What was so fun (I'm gabbing about the Spooctacular) was seeing which books everyone wanted. I checked into all of 'em and found some great ideas for my own Wish List.  So... I'm doing it again.  Any book from Amazon or the Book Depository for about $12 or so, e-books or paper or whatever.




I want to know which book you want to win, even if you change your mind by the time I announce the winner on the 12th.  And I'd really love to know why!  (That's not "required".)

Requirements:  Follow (if you can on Google) and COMMENT, just one entry per person (and be at least 13 or go find someone who is). I thoroughly enjoyed checking out everyone's blogs, you can make it easy on me by letting me know where you are (Also not "required", but fun for me!)

Happy Entering!!!!

Oh... leave me an email address to reach you at, too.  Thanks!
