Books,Interiors and yarn,what do they have in Common?

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Me!

Mom has finished another project and is ready to start a new one and is looking though all her bags of yarn.. She does this every time and I guess I have to leave her  alone and let her do it… Would drive me crazy… That is why I play with books…. I finished my “Montana Creed:Dylan” today and the new one comes out today “Montana Creed:Tyler” can’t wait to go tomorrow to get it… you can read about it at www.lindalaelmiller.comThis trilogy is another one that is just great.

These Creed boys have a fight of all places at there fathers funeral… They don’t see each other for along time.. The first book “Montana Creed:Logan”This brother comes home to start life over and bring the Creed name back where it belongs with trust and truth.. Some weeks ago I told you about Logan… now I will tell you about Dylan…

Logan has called his brothers to come back to the ranch and help start over each one has their own home there… Dylan came back put a lady and her children in his house to over see it and left his bull there to graze and make babies…. Then he takes off for the rodeo again…Found this all out in the book of Logan. Now we find out He has a small child that the mother is raising… He comes out of a place where he was playing poker and finds his little girl standing up in his truck alone… There is a note that says Sharlene (child’s mother) can not raise her any longer…   Dylan knows the mother is somewhere near even she would not take off with the baby in the truck alone…. Dylan takes her to a store and gets food and then to a motel… Next morning he heads to the ranch… Decides that he needs a Lawyer and the best one he knows is Logan…. He gets to town and makes up with brother Logan and his new wife and her two boys.. They fall in love with Bonnie…. In town is the librarian who has loved Dylan sense they were kids… Kristy is all alone her parents had died. They lost their farm everything… Check out the rest of the story its great….

I am still working on getting another store open for my shot glasses… When I do you will be the first to know… I am also looking into closing my eBay store… But that won’t be right away… I am thinking before I jump ship…. Have a good day…….Here comes picture of the day  This lovely room belongs to our niece and nephew and was done by Janet West Interiors… go to the website and you can find more rooms to look at…  www.janetwestinteriors.com

Mother and project she made for Eva took her 4 months. Fits a king size bed

Mondays to me are catch up day… Catch up what I started over the weekend………We get to go to the post office, bank… grocery store……and maybe Wal mart… (love that place….).  Mailing one book and some author requests for bookmarks… I love to send there bookmarks with the books I sell… Makes a nice touch.so far I have Debbie Macomber   www.debbiemacomber.com  I will be going to see her in May in Tallahassee.  Can’t wait.. Gene is going to make me something to take to her.. I love giving out little gifts when I go see someone ..  I am half way through book Montana Creeds:Dylon  and the new one comes out tomorrow.  Montana Creeds: Tyler, they are by Linda Lael Miller, www.lindalealmiller.com  I should be able to start it by the end of the week.. Then you can look for them on my eCRATER store.  Everything I put in from now on will go on my eCRATER store. It has more to offer my customer as well as me.. I can sell for less as they cost me less…. Check it out… I have paypal and money orders… where on the other store I have only paypal and the books cost you more… I can move things for now from one store to another…. I do give shipping discounts on both stores… But as I said eCRATER is my store of choice and will be fading out the other one as things sell off…

 

 

 

Have a good day and check out my stores… write on my blog and have fun……………………  check out the picture of the day

Questions about being able to keep up……….

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

There is email, blog, facebook, twitter to name a few ………..Why do you need all these things…. I like the email, and the blog…. I am attempting facebook… but why twitter…..I don’t have a day job other than my bookstores on line www.readerwave.com  I can’t keep up… How do you do it… I like to read and I do that on and off when my eyes get tired of the computer.. Then when I get tired of my book I shut my eyes and listen to my eye lids…. (sounded good)… watch my eye lids  is that better…. Ilene I know it not politically correct but don’t touch…. (if you notice sometimes after a few days things look easier to read on here… well I have a wonderful geek daughter and she comes in the back door so to speak and corrects my everything…. Have I thanked you lately

two of ILene's babies Love you,Grandma

Three authors one lovely book………

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

This Blog you know is for fun… I love to read for fun.. I don’t read many serious books.. No blood and guts… I just finished reading and I mean just, half  hour to be exact… “Alaska Brides” Three stories by three wonderful authors, www.maryconnealy.com , www.cathymariehake.com,  and www.kathleenybarbo.com This book tells of the Smiths, Twins,brother and sister, leaving Texas in shame to seek there fortune in Alaska to pay off there fathers debt and get there good name back. There one year and they meet Ian Rafferty from Oregon.  Ian andMeridth  Smith become close…Next book Ian’s brother moves to Alaska after his wife and child die in child birth… He meets a young woman who has run away form boarding school to find her father whom she has not heard from in a long time.. (her mother died before she left to go to school)  There is a good story here and it has a great ending to go on to the last story where The Rafferty brothers have a younger sister who wants to go to medical school and in the 1800′s women became wives and mothers… So she is sent by her widowed father to the brothers to makes sure she finds a husband… She meets Meridth’s  Brother Tucker Smith….. The rest is for you to find out….. These stores tell of great Christian faith.. God is everywhere… Hard to put down….. You will find this book in my eCRATER store with all the large books with State titles… Have lots of them and they all have Faith….

I will be starting a new Linda Lael Miller book   “Montana Creeds:Dylan” that I just picked up last week…This is the second book of three… They are brand new… Look for it about in a week to be on eCRATER.

Looks like it has rained all night, I probley won’t be at the flee market this morning.. The rain has stopped but its very windy… will see in less than two hours… Man another night where I got no sleep… I get things going around in my head and I can’t let them go like I use to when I worked… I guess my mind and body don’t get tired enough when I don’t work out of the house… I need to start getting out in the fresh air and riding my three wheeler again.. Had a neighbor stop to see why I wasn’t riding now… That was very nice of her… Well friends my book(Blog) is done for this morning. See you later or tomorrow after Church….

Friendship and a ball………..

Friday, March 27th, 2009

You ask what they have to do with each other…..Berta and I have been friends sence  High School 10th grade… Sence 2008 was our 40th class reunion you figure the math… A week or so a go I did a blog where I showed you a silver ball that opens up and you can put things in… That is a friendship ball… We started sending one in 1998, I sent it to her and the next month she sent it back to me with a present inside…. We have had some really cute stuff go back and forth… Right now the ball is on its way back to me… It was sent yesterday I was told.  With telephones and computers we comuncate every day, some times more. Most of the time we find things that fit in the special ball sometimes we have to put it on the outside just laying in the box…. The box gets used over and over..A couple of months ago I pealed enough tape off to make a small ball… LOL…. the address card has one set of addresses on one side and reversed on the other so we never have to write it down just turn the card over… And yes I did forget and put  back on my side and it came back to me.. A couple of years ago one got lost in the mail…. So we are on our second ball…  Another ball well be launched this summer…. To a very special person who has wanted to do this for many years and had no one to do it with, as all her special friends live in her town… Thats great but then again she has no one to send to…..I found a ball at a yard sale last year(you can find anything so don’t though anything away,till after your sale then you know someone wasn’t looking for it….) Thats another story..I have things all over my house. Last month I got a minuture Easter bunny snow globe… it sits on my table… I had sent her mini bear refrigerater magnets.. Had 4 and they fit in the ball so that is how small they were… Putting a picture of  some of the stuff on her. I just got a new shelf in the shape of a house with bigger holes for the tall things…

Oh just to change the subject a little, yesterday I got a Blog answer from Author MaryAnne Stahl. I had mentioned that I read her book “The Opposite Shore” on a January 19th wrote in here… How cool is that.. So to read it you have to go back to Jan.. blogs…

The tiny black hat,pig, and pail of milk were the first things I got. Tiny notes I got with them are behind

Today is a new day… I will be entering books in eCRATER, I am trying to get away from eBay, so if I keep putting books in eBay you will not look for them in eCRATER.   I am leaving what I have where it is in eBay. But no more will go in at this time… and hopefully in the future.. I don’t know how to drag people to this new sight and show them that it cost them less and get the same things…  Talked to Ilene yesterday and we decided I should check out the ads on eCRATER and maybe put “Waiting for Agene” in an ad…. Will look it over today…. And I will look for other ways to show my ware’s so to speak… I need to go on UTube…. LOL…..

Getting time for all the flowers to start blooming
