When it comes to Christmas decor, I am sure I could have posted many a thing. I have made some beautiful decorations over the years. I once made these very intricate snowmen for my mother. I had an unusual nativity scene. A village set that I made up all sorts of stories about! I loved as a child when […]

When I first looked at this question, I honestly wasn’t sure what Christmas I would choose. However, it wasn’t too long before I was reminded of truly one of my most memorable Christmases ever…my grandfather’s last Christmas on this earth. I was married in 1992, and my grandfather, Wallace (Wally) Bales, and his wife (Edith)–my mother’s parents–were involved in my […]

My favorite Christmas ornaments always have been homemade ones. My mom used to do a lot of crafting back in the day, and one of my favorite Christmas ornaments were her creations. She did some years ago that were made from toilet paper rolls. She made these rather large dolls that looked like choir-singing ladies, and they always hung towards […]

This really made me think, but I think I have it!! When I was in elementary school, I was obsessed with the movie Annie. I dressed up as Annie for two Halloweens. I had a short, curly perm hairstyle and I only wished my hair could be red! My mom used to do a lot of sewing and she made […]

When it comes to picking my favorites, again, this is something I don’t necessarily like to do. But on this one, I think I can pick a favorite or two. For as long as I can remember, “O Holy Night” has been my top favorite. I have heard many strong renditions of this beautiful song over the years. I have […]

This is kind of bending the rules, but I realized I never listed this book for the Just For Fun Challenge.  I’m a bit behind due to not getting my April book finished.  Since it’s catch up month, here I go! The Selection by Kiera Cass My rating: 5 of 5 stars Well, where do I begin? I remember when […]

Carolina Isle by Jude Deveraux My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is my April “Just For Fun Book,” and most of up lived up to my expectations. The initial premise of this story was quite riveting. Look-alike cousins switching places, two couples traveling to a mysterious island, and a bit of romance. I continued to marvel at the mystery, […]

Wyoming Brides: Denim and Diamonds\The Wyoming Kid by Debbie Macomber My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have read so many reviews about Debbie Macomber and her romance books.  In fact, when her TV show “Cedar Cove” began this past summer, I was certain I had read one of her books.  However, I was wrong.  I quickly added all of […]

For a Lifetime by Rosemarie Naramore My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is a part of my 2014 Read for Fun challenge, and I happened to get this book for free on Amazon through a special deal. I honestly just chose to read this book because I wanted to read something light and this was a clean, romantic, Christian […]
