Once again, I find myself having read two books back to back that are ridiculously similar. And yet, so very different. Book 1 : The Other 1. The Other was written in 1971, takes place in 1935, yet is very much NOT a period piece and despite some dated scenes, I remained grounded throughout.2. The…

Today is Labor Day. Most folks have the day off from work and/or school. Picnics will be had, road trips may be planned. There are festivals, fairs, and tournaments to attend.

As always, I compiled a travel list during my last trip, but a lot of it was personal and only meaningful to me and my travel buddies. I wish I could share–hilarious!–so many humorous experiences. We ARE funny. And clever, witty, insightful. But, trust me, you had to be there. I am so glad I…

It’s been over a year since “I went and did a thing” and became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. As I mentioned at the time, I joined as a Hobby Demonstrator so my Card Club would have someone to place our quarterly party orders. And also (mostly) because, as a rep, I get a discount on…
