Twilight Friends

As you may already know there’s a big Eclipse bash brewing over here…

We are admittedly the party wack-jobs of the universe and this time, while we have the entire theater–it has not curbed our behavior in the least. In fact–we’re getting worse by the second. We’ve even contacted some of our favorite Etsy shops who are graciously offering prizes for the pre-movie bash–to be held at Pirate Island Pizza just before the show!

Let me show you a couple of the amazing things that we’ve received so far…

1~ We’ve received key rings and bag clips and magnets…from a pretty little shop called Vikster’s Crafts

2~ Bella’s Fingerless Gloves from Stitch N Snitch. Simply beautiful!

3~ Some adorable plaques from “Smitten & Bitten”

4~ A gorgeous bracelet from “Empty Heart Creations“

5~ These fabulous gemstone earrings from Twilighter VA

6~ These adorable “Forks” earrings…get it? Forks? ha! They are from Twilight Tammy‘s pretty little shop.

Please, please–take a minute and click the links to these kind and generous Etsy shops. You’ll be amazed at what you can find.

And me? Well…

I’m gonna go check the mail!

Cookbook Bonanza & Giveaway!

Did I just use the word, “Bonanza?” Was that me? Yikes.

Come here for a minute…I want to show you something.

I know I’m taking a huge risk in letting you witness my personal addiction–but they say that the first step to healing—is to admit that you have a problem in the first place.

Ok, ok…so I admit it.

Not going to fix it, but I admit it. ha!

My “problem” comes in the form of…

cookbooks. I can’t seem to ever get enough of them.

Consequently, we have this seven foot tall shelf full of my darlings. Oh, and there are some stacked on top too.

And these ones wouldn’t fit on the shelf at all…anywhere.

Some times I even buy the same cookbook twice–accidentally–just because the cover is different. It’s hard to tell sometimes. And then sometimes I buy the same one when the cover isn’t different–because I liked it twice…I guess. It could happen to you…maybe.

Dear, dear. Whatever shall I do?

I know~

We’ll have a giveaway!  Yes, yes–that’s it. An easy one this time.

Here it is…

Leave a comment below telling us a recipe you would like to see us make–anything at all–and you’ll be entered to win. If your name is drawn, you’ll win not one, but TWO of my very own cookbooks, “Cupcakes, Muffins and More,” and “Country Soups.” Really, really good stuff…besides…I have…two.

How’s that for scaling back? See? I do try to be rational.

I’ll announce the winner on Friday morning May 21 at 10:00 am.

Now run along my friends–and comment.

I’d love your input~

especially if it feeds my addiction.

And it will.

Children’s Book Festival

Some of my favorite books in the whole wide world…

written by one of my favorite authors in the whole wide world—-

were missing one, vital thing…

until this weekend.

April and I went to the Children’s Book Festival in Provo–and met a new writer friend.

We are now official members of Newberry Award winner Shannon Hale’s fan club…or so it seems. She was kind and generous with her autograph and talked to us for more than our fair share of time–even with a line of people going right out the ballroom door. If you aren’t familiar with her books–go promptly HERE to redeem yourself.

You won’t be sorry. Her books are incredible—

and we know now—so is she.

The Instruction Manual

“In our lives, He who knows most about us, our potential, and our eternal possibilities has given us divine counsel and commandments in His instruction manuals—the holy scriptures. When we understand and follow these instructions, our lives have purpose and meaning. We learn that our Maker loves us and desires our happiness. In an incomparable manifestation of this divine love for us, he sent his Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ.”

M. Russell Ballard
