Yes, I am aware my blog header is still “summer fun” and we have now said goodbye to the first week of November. I plan to have a simply gaw-jus fall banner up before Thanksgiving…I think. Come to think of it, there are many other ways I can finish that sentence: Yes, I am aware…
No, this is not another post about NaNoWriMo…though I’m finding it an incredible way to practice my craft. As I mentioned over at fellow Test Driver Tami’s blog when she asked what people expected to get out of it: I am a fly by the seat of my pants kind of writer – and this…
1 day of writing down and 29 to go…I managed to get 5k of words down, which gave me a nice start, I think. Even on the first day it was a little difficult, once I had jumped the first hurdle: finding some free time away from the husband, Miss A & Lil’ G, I…
I stopped by Crafty Chicks and loved the recent post about Halloween labels you can print and place on jars to creep up (or would that be out?) the candy and snacks. It was a great idea and the website CC mentions is really cool: The Official Love Manor (go take a look at their…
We said “Hi!” to Smitty Baby a few weeks back when I featured her as a Monday Muse. Meridith was kind enough to drop me a note letting me know she is having a sweet little contest over at her site in which you can win 2 (that’s right, not 1 but 2!) of her…
I can’t remember the Google search I was workin’ on when I stumbled across awesomeness from a galaxy far far away: apparently a contest had been held calling all nerds and artists to use their madskillz to create pastiches ala Lucas.

I was searching the web for creative Halloween Countdown Calendar ideas when I came across a site I knew would be great for today’s Monday Muse. Crafty Chicks is a collection of women (mostly Mamas, from what I can tell) who have some of the most wonderful ideas for all things crafty. Currently up on…
… or clutch her hand and ask her to come home with me, or faint, or completely embarrass myself in a myriad of other ways… Currently Diana is on a book tour promoting the recent release of the 7th (of at least 8, I think) novel in her Outlander series, Echo in The Bone. 4…
Thanks to a recent post on the Pioneer Woman (turns out she’s also the idol of today’s Monday Muse) I learned about Smitty Baby…and am jealous I didn’t think of that idea first! Not the crafty clothes and baby items, I’ll gladly ooh and aah and let someone else design and create those things –…
My time as a test driver of a Sony e-reader for the SmartBitches is nearly at an end. As an added bonus for having pimped out their bling to all our friends and family for the summer, Sony has offered to let us test drivers keep our Readers for a significantly reduced price…or if we…
