The Sweetest Thing

Okay, that wasn't much of a blog break. But Jimmy is back at work today (yeah,yeah,yeah) and I am SO dang excited to share this new MME collection with y'all.

I don't combine "business" with "pleasure" very often here. I haven't talked about MME much. But to be fair, this job is my business AND my pleasure. I love MME so much and I have for years. As a crafter I have just been a fan…plain and simple

My favorite collection has always been Stella and Rose. But this new line blows that one out of the water, and I officially (truly) have a new favorite.

So please go check it out and enter for a chance to win…y'all don't want to miss out on this!

first book signing!

i was SO excited to meet one of my all-time favorite authors last night.

my friend jen and i went out to tybee for a mary kay andrews book signing. we may or may not have been WAY eager and we may or may not have been the second in line. 🙂

see…here's the (slightly dorky) deal. i'd rather meet an author than a hollywood type celebrity ANY day of the week.

mka isn't just a good author to me…she is like a friend. she has given me countless vacations,escapes,laughs,and tears. reading is a passion to me. and when i find an author i love i am very loyal.

so meeting her was a gift. and she was awesome. and hilarious. and we miiiiight have discussed magic mike. don't even ask. 🙂

have a beautiful weekend…and say hey if you get a chance. stephanie needs a DIVERSION this weekend. i need to be entertained.

because time is ticckkkkkkkkkinnnnnng. 🙂
