An Affair Before Christmas by Eloisa James

4 out of 5 stars

Where to start? Poppy and Fletch were in love, got married and 4 years later split up even though they still loved each other. Why? Cause Poppy was an immature idiot who listened to her witch of a mother. Lady Flora insisted women don't like sex and shouldn't have to "service" their husbands. I say Poppy and Jemma (yes, she was in here) need to hire a giggilo that will give Lady Flora the proper experience she needs to realize sex isn't so bad ;0) Eventually Poppy and Fletch (who's name is John...Poppy had NO clue!) got their act together and got to some good lovin' and all was right in their world.

Ahhh, Jemma. As you know, I thought Jemma stole the first book in this series. Fortunately, this book featured Poppy and Fletch more than anyone else. Jemma wasn't as scene stealing as she was previously, but still... And Villilers. Almost dying and then proposing to Charlotte. Will she say yes? Or will she say yes to Dautry? Villiers was the story stealer this time.

These are definitely books that must be read in order. It sort of reminds me of the soap operas I use to watch...a whole lot of characters who are all intertwined with each other and the story picks up immediately where the last one left off. It's kind of wonderful...like being allowed admittance into their world for just a little bit :)

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?

WIP Wednesday...on Thursday

I started this post yesterday. Several times.  But, I got busy doing other stuff and this got pushed to the side.  I finally have a few free minutes today so I figured I would come back to it LOL  Really, I am procrastinating on doing my last case study for the management class I am taking 😉 So, this is titled WIP Wednesday.  I decided I would start sharing my cross stitch WIPs with you.   I started cross stitching MANY years ago.  I've done pieces and given them as birthday, graduation and wedding gifts.  I made the whole family matching Christmas stockings.  Even got two of the three grandbabies stockings made after a long break from cross stitch while I sewed children's clothes and went to school.  But, I picked cross stitch back up a couple of years ago and quickly remembered why I love it so much.  It's almost mindless work for me.  It keeps my attention just enough to make ignore all else, but not enough thought has to b...
