When I'm not Ryan the writer- I am the Princess and crafting. And every once in rare while, I will do a craft show. 

Today I was at the Monroe High School and I had a blast! Sitting at a table surrounded by crafts and crafters is my happy place. I really enjoyed myself. 

What was my bestseller? The wineglasses that said
"Pairs well with Turkey and Difficult Relatives".
LOL!! I sold out. Good to know I am not the only one. 

Thank you to all who stopped by and bought an item or two or three!

I have my fingers crossed that i get to do another one soon! 

Want to do something terrifying for Halloween this year?
 Lift up your couch cushions. 

I have ONE kid and I consider myself neat.
HOWEVER, I was vacuuming today and decided to lift the couch cushions for a more thourough cleaning.

SHRIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I found:

4 socks
A Harry Potter wand
Countless Goldfish crackers
A Lollipop (still in its wrapper- thank god)
Some Lego figurines
Candy Wrappers (too many to list) 
Nutella to Go
A Knick-Knack that must have fallen off a shelf
Cat toys
An obscene amount of crumbs

But oddly - no money.

It is no secret that I am not a big fan of summer.
July is my least favorite month of the year. It just goes on and on and on.... 
I am always hot. Always sweaty.
I miss cool weather and wearing layers, pretending my bulky clothes are hiding all my extra pounds.
But mostly, I  miss my kid being in school. 
He is the love of my life. My one and only baby. My child. My son. My everything. 
But holy shit camp is just not enough!!! It's time for school to start again!!! 
He is only 10 but sometimes talks to me like a snotty disrespectful teenager.
About a week ago, I was OVER IT!!! I said, that's it - no phone tomorrow. And I meant it. He did not have his phone at all the next day. 
A few days later we once again had a moment where I gave him a warning saying -
keep it up and I will take away that phone.
 He replied with - here we go again with your blackmail. 
Blackmail.
 Is he freaking kidding me?  I can't even....
School. Please. Soon. 
  

Why do I never have a release date?
Why is it always fly by the seat of my pants with my releases?
I don't know. 
I just can never seem to pin point what day it's all gonna come together.

So - SURPRISE!!! It's today!!!!

The order of these books are Dick, Chick, Trick, Flick. 
Yes, they can all stand alone. But I think they're better when read in order, especially these last two.

**Stay Tuned - Tomorrow I'll do a GIVEAWAY in the group. 

Well, when an author loves a stock photo very much...
They save it to their favorites and send it to their cover artist! 
Below is the original photo that was purchased to become the cover for
The Two-Night One-Night Wedding.
I loved it. It was exactly what I was thinking for Matthew and Holly.
The cover artist trimmed, edited, cleaned, brightened and polished. 
​And magic happened.
A cover was born.
