I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, Yule, or other celebration this week. My family’s was absolutely amazing this year. I couldn’t have asked for a better week, let alone holiday! We had a wonderful day at my parents’ house eating pasta and playing games. Everyone was healthy and we had so much to be thankful for.
Santa totally tricked Wood Sprite by putting her “big” gift, a Pygmy Puff from Harry Potter, in an oatmeal box. I said, “Santa must have known you needed to eat more fiber!” and she was livid! I have some pretty great pictures. The one of her face lighting up when I made her open the oatmeal box is even better.
Some good news: While I can’t share the links due to ghostwriting, I have been writing a lot for several new-to-me places and it’s been a lot of fun. I have written 8 press releases, several longer articles, and over a dozen short articles about everything from cocktails to dog obedience. I wish I could share them, but I did want to note that they’re pretty cool–and they’re keeping me busy. 😉
Some great news: I am able to write at my favorite site again starting today! Yay! Look for more links soon. Between my work there and my new clients, I can almost smell the paint in our new house…
2013 is going to be fabulous!

Also, I’ve taken on a ghostwriting job to help with expenses and won’t be able to share that work, either! So if you see a few days go by without posts, rest assured that I’m still here. 🙂 I also have lots of new things, from interviews to freebies, at my adult supernatural fiction blog to check out; visit the link at right if you’re interested (and over eighteen!).
I’ve decided to branch out with some of my online writing and start writing at HubPages. I’m so excited to create pages there with their fun templates and to reach out to new readers. I will probably be writing a lot about crafts, homeschooling, pet care, that kind of thing, though I may also write about food, product reviews, and other topics. Come visit me!
It’s been months since I’ve written a Things I Love Thursday post. It’s not that there aren’t things I love on Thursdays anymore; I just haven’t thought to write them down! I’ve been doing a lot of paper journaling and promoting my book instead. So here are a few things I’m loving this week.
The Secret World of Arietty. “My heart is strong now because you’re in it.” So lovely! We saw it in theaters but we’ve been watching it again lately. * Wood Sprite’s winter drawings and Lego creations. They are so inspiring. * Watching WS in her holiday play and singing performance. She’s quite a performer! * Reading Fablehaven aloud with my family. * Seeing movies in theaters! We haven’t seen any since–well, probably Arietty–and we were able to see two last week because of the canned food drive. We saw Wreck It Ralph and The Rise of the Guardians. Both were wonderful films, but the latter was the best. * Preparing for our own winter solstice celebration, just the three of us! I can’t wait! * Making origami ornaments. * Celebrating our birthdays, three months in a row. * Apple cider. * WS’s new interest in gems. * New possibilities, beginnings, and a brand new planner for 2013!
