I Promise You by Ilsa Madden-Mills

I've told ya'll how wonderful it is to do a book blog with my bestie, Amanda. The perks are amazing. We get more books than we know what to do with.

I have discovered lots of new authors while doing the book blog. One of them is Ilsa Madden-Mills. She quickly became a favorite of mine. She is one that I will always recommend when people ask for book recommendations. Ilsa writes the best combination of angst and humor in her books. They always make me smile 😄

Ilsa Madden-Mills has a new book out today....I Promise You. It's Dillon McQueen's story. You may remember him from Ryker's story, if you've been reading the unofficial series. Well, let me tell you, Dillon is my favorite football player from Waylon University. This starts with Dillon at one of the legendary bonfires at Waylon during his freshman year. Legend states that if you kiss a girl at the bonfire when you are freshman, she is THE ONE. Dillon kisses a girl and then loses her. But have no fear, he finds his girl that he kissed - eventually.

Dillon is much more than he appears to be. And his girl, Serena, is feisty and guarded and I absolutely loved her and her quirky family. I really hope I get to see more of them in the future.

Do yourself a favor and grab this one! And while you are at it, grab the other books about the football players from Waylon University. You won't regret it!

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader. I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public). Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges. In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain. A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year. Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog http://www.bookchickcity.com/ and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year. I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books. You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

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

Halloween's around the corner

So, I've been working on Hallween designs this week. What you see in the picture is a sneek peek of a set I'm listing next week for Bow*nified Designs Spooky Chic Halloween launch. I've got a OOAK skirt set almost finished and another set ready to cut out. Who'd have thought that I'd be working on Halloween stuff the very week the girls go back to school. I surely didn't. But I feel the need to keep up with what is selling :) And speaking of the girls going back to school this week...I've already subbed for 3 days! It's the first FULL week of school and teachers are missing days. CRAZY! However, I mustn't complain. This at least gets me in the classroom and schools so teachers won't forget me and the principals won't forget me so they can give me a job ;0)

Until Next Time...
