Book #1, 2026

 First Book I've had time to read this year!



The Miss Fortune Series is fabulous. Each book builds on the past books with the characters. These books are written by Jana DeLeon and my favorite reading collection.

You probably want to make sure you start them with Book #1 Lousiana Longshot:


The characters have me laughing and the shenanigans never disappoint.

Have you read these books? Did you like them? 

Tell me what you think in the comments. :)

Have A Happy Day!

 Guess What?!

Hi, everyone! It's been a while since I began this blog in 2009. Seems like sooo long ago! After taking 2025 off from blogging (due to work, work, work), I'm happy to say I am back.

My hope is to post at least once a week, but hopefully more, with all kinds of things. My blog started off as a crafting place, and it was extremely enjoyable for 15 years. Now it's time to get it going again and adding a few more things.

Making cards was so fun for me, so hopefully that will still be in the new mix. 

Other things include:

  • Talking about books (What we are reading, hope to read, looking for good book recommendations, etc.)
  • Recipes (What are you cooking lately?, Easy Meals, etc.)
  • Exploring new Arts & Crafts (Crochet, Cross-Stitch, Painting, etc.)
  • .... and more!
I'll be back with the last book I read. Can't wait to see you again!! Hugs!!!!!
