It's crafty Wednesday! Yay! Last week, I showed you the infinity scarf I made myself HERE. I started to make one for my daughter and wanted to do a different stitch. I ended up taking it apart several times and finally just made it like the one I did mine. 

I love that yarn from hers. It looks so pretty. I wasn't sure at first when I bought it. I thought for sure my daughter would like it. Now that it's made, i want one for myself. Maybe she'll let me borrow it every now and then.

Arranged Love releases on the 20th of this month. Yup, right around the corner. I'm excited. I wanted to share with you one of my favorite scenes from the story just to show how awkward it can be when you first start living with someone and learn about how odd they really are. Then you think, Oh God, what have I gotten myself into! I think Ryan is thinking just that! Enjoy.

Ryan stood in the kitchen, lost. Where in the world did this woman keep the coffee? He’d checked every cabinet, the pantry, and even the fridge. And yet he had come up empty-handed. There was no way Kayla didn’t drink the caffeinated beverage, was there?

He started opening the cabinets again. It had to be somewhere. There was a coffee maker sitting on the counter. Darn woman was torturing him!

“What’s with all the banging?”

Ryan spun around. “I can’t find the coffee.”

I love cats. My husband loves cats. Yup, you see where this is going. We love cats. When the hubby and I got married, we each brought a cat. I brought Lacey and he brought Tigger.

Release day is almost here! January 20th, 2o14. I'm so excited for this release. Love, love, love this story. This upcoming week, I will be sharing some fun snippets from the book, so be sure to follow me on Facebook (Fan) & Facebook (Friend).  And now, chapter one! 

“You’re kidding me, right? Please, I’m begging you. Tell me this is all some sort of joke.” Kayla Ames stared at her parents in disbelief.

“Give it a chance,” her mother said. “Besides, you’re thirty-two and not doing a good job on your own.”

“This isn’t a foreign country though. I don’t need your help.”

“We’re your parents. We know you better than you know yourself,” her father added.

Was he serious? “I doubt that. If so, you’d have known how much this would upset me.”

“We knew. But it’s what’s best.” He took a sip from the coffee cup he held.

Kayla crossed her arms and slumped against the door frame. “This isn’t happening.” The statement was more for her than it was for them. If she knew her parents, then they weren’t listening anyway. They’d come up with yet another scheme to make her settle down.

“At least meet him,” her mother said.

Kayla sighed. Arguing with her parents was like talking to a brick wall. It didn’t matter how many times she told them ‘no’, they were going to find a way around it. She might as well give in. “Fine. Whatever.”

“Oh, Kayla. You make me so happy,” her mother gushed.

There is a channel on You Tube that I love. The kids and I will sit and watch videos from this channel  for a good thirty minutes. A few of them aren't kid appropriate, so I recommend watching them first before showing them to your kids. 

Happy Friday! And now you've got more knowledge on..FARTS!

Happy Wednesday. Are you staying warm? Temps are finally rising again here in Georgia. Thank goodness. The 30's feel warm compared to 5!

Recently, my best friend Crystal has been teaching me how to crochet. She says before long I will be hooked. A hooker. Something like that. Never did I think I would be a hooker. Ha ha! Okay, okay, jokes put aside.

Each Wednesday, I'm going to start sharing projects I'm working on. Yes, I do other things besides write. Shocker, I know.  Up above, you can see the very first thing I made. A white infinity scarf! My dear friend Crystal drove me crazy with this project. We started this scarf countless times. I have NO IDEA what I did with it. She kept taking it from me and saying. "No, I have a better idea." Then she'd unravel it and do something else and show me what she did. Then...get this, sent me home on my own to finish it. But I did it, and I think it's an awesome infinity scarf, don't you think?

SNOW!!! Or so the weather man says. I look outside this morning for something that might resemble this photo--this is Georgia, folks! And well, no snow. Nothing. 

Ah, and once again, the weather people of Georgia have dangled this freak weather occurrence in our face, while the rest of the country is getting a freakin' blizzard!

You see, I've lived in Georgia all my life. Usually, at least one a year, we get snow. Three years ago this month, we were pounded with a storm that left most of us shut down for a week. Curious how much snow that was? Well, at my house that equaled...


6 INCHES! 

Now before you northerners fall over laughing, we did get an ice storm right after, so on top of our 6 inches of fluffy white stuff, we had about an inch of ice.
