Well...it was Eight days before Christmas...


Karlene tagged me for an 8 things blog last week, and I figured I'd use it as part of a count down to Christmas, and about things art. It's supposed to be 8 things about me...so, here's my list.

5. The LDS Storymakers Writers Conference in April.

6. Talking with my brother on the phone

7. My children going on missions

8. Getting published

Five books I consider classics: (okay, this wasn't part of the original, but I'm trying to be artsy here...grin. And I gave up on coming up with 8 -- I didn't have time to peruse my books)

I totally love every one of those books you listed! I've read each of them, probably five times.

The cool part of these memes is making them your own. I think it's great that you added and deleted categories. Thanks for playing. :)

Wow... really??

so - I didn't realize it has been that long since my last post.  I think I kind of gave up on it, knowing I don't have many follower...
