New Beginnings

Hello my friends!
It was so wonderful to have our Chick Lit Book Club Meeting last weekend. Not all of you were able to make it, but we now have an official secretary for the club who takes notes and will get them for all you so you will be able to catch up on what you missed.
It was great getting together after taking the break over the holidays, and now Lucie and I are so excited for the new year to start and the new books that we will be reading.
A new beginning for me will be the new job that God has blessed me with. It will be at a business called "Reaching for Independence" I will be assisting Mentally Disabled individuals out in the community while we clean houses for people, as they become independent adults along the way. I am so excited about this new adventure that God has allowed me to be apart of, and I really just want to make a difference here in this community-in peoples lives now, otherwise, why are we on this earth? Right? I will keep you all filled in on all the wonderful stories. I am sure there will be many.
May God bless your life this week! Deborah

Hello my friends*
I can't believe how fast January went by. Now it is the month of LOVE. And speaking of Love I am so excited to say that Jeff and I get the opportunity to getaway to a special place in Napa called the Vino Bella, thanks to my parents who have a timeshare there. I am looking forward to a wonderful trip away.
I am also excited that our book club will be meeting this weekend after a couple months off. It has been great to be reading again. I just ordered our next book of the month "Lying on Sunday" by Sharon K. Souza. It should be quite interesting.
I hope all of you have been doing well.
See you soon!

I Love Discovering New Authors!!

Hey Ladies!
I just came across this author and thought I would post a little blurb about what the book is about-we should give her a try-I am going to get this book and the other one she is going to come out with soon too! The book is titled "Her Unlikely Family" And here is a little bit of what the book is about:
Opposites attract when an uptight banker encounters a free-spirited waitress during the search for his runaway teenage niece. As they work together to heal the young girl's damaged spirit, an unlikely family begins to form...

Sounds good huh? I will definitely be checking out this (new to me) author.
Have a great week!
God Bless you all!

I Love a Good Deal

When I was shopping at Winco recentley I was so thrilled to find a bin of discounted books! Yes! That is right I said discounted! And they were of the authors that we know AND love, Karen Kingsbury, Rachel Hauck, Judith Pella to name a few. The highest price I paid for some of the books I purchased was $5.99. And the lowest price was $2.99. I also saw the whole Left Behind series in the bin as well. There were a lot of books there to choose from, so if any of you go shopping up there soon-be sure to check out the great deals! I just wanted to share the new so someone else could have the same opportunity!
Happy Reading!
Deborah

Getting Back to the Books

I have been having a hard time getting into our next "Book of the Month" Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs. I haven't read one book since finishing the Twilight Series. But I need to snap out of it, as I miss getting away to those adventures and lives of those many characters that I had been reading about during the summer. I guess the difference also was during the summer I was not working as much as I am now either. Oh-how I loved that time. Ha!ha! Anyways, I need to get back to the books, I have several that I purchased that I am looking forward to reading and reviewing for our book club-which doesn't meet again until February, so I do have some time to give myself, thankfully.
Any of you been reading some good books I should know about? Or that I should add to my now growing list?
Hope your week is going well!
Deborah

Looking Forward to the New Year

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all had a safe celebration wherever you were!
We got the pleasure of spending it with our best friends, Tom and Lucie and their kids. It was fun! I got the pictures to prove it! ha!ha!
I am looking forward to new opportunites this year to draw closer to my Creator, first and foremost. And to spend more time with my family and friends.
I am hoping to be changing jobs, we will see where God will lead me. I will keep everyone posted so you can know where to pray.
I am looking forward to my Crop Night coming up on January 9th from 6 -11:00. It will be some fun girlfriend time and some good time to catch up on some scrapbooking pages. I hope to see you there.
God's sweet blessings to all of you!

My First Crop Night

Hello ladies!
I hope this day finds you warm inspite of this freezing weather we have been having. I do love it-I would love it more if there was actual snow on our ground-then the cold would be worth it!
Anyways, I wanted to give everyone advance notice of an upcoming Crop Night I will be having on January 9th from 6:00-10:00. It will be held at Trudy's workshop, as I do not have enough table space, but I will be the Host of this Crop-as you are my customers. I will be sending out actual announcements, but I wanted to put it on my blog too.
I am very excited about this. It will give us all a time to work on projects that we have put aside during this crazy Christmas season and things like LIFE. I will have another date to do this too, January 30 6:00-10:00 also. So please do me a favor and mark these dates on your calendars. I know so many of you have asked me for a time to do scrapbooking and I am taking the time away from my family to dedicate to you on these two nights for now. I hope you will come out to join me.
Warm toasy blessings**
