Tinsel Giveaway!

Laurie1 Comment

Oh, my--I really haven't done a very good job keeping up with this blog, have I? Part of the reason for this is because I'm trying to devote more time to my WIP. I'd looooove to have it available for the 2020 Christmas season...which requires a whole lotta work before then (*whispers: because I'm only… Continue reading Tinsel Giveaway!

The Wait is Over

So...it's been a while since I've posted. From my experience as a mom of 15+ years, we mothers seem to go from one busy season to the next busier season as our children grow, and my blog has taken a backseat to other priorities.

God asked something of me during that time that has had a long-lasting impact on my life. It's His question--and the… Continue reading Too Much To Ask

A Little Knit of This and a Little Knit of That

LaurieLeave a comment

But first, an update! I can now share two more contest results with you: I didn’t win. 😛 After I have a chance to read over my entry for the Guideposts' short story contest and retweak some things (cuz that’s what writers love to do—tweak, tweak, and more tweak), I’ll share it here. A part… Continue reading A Little Knit of This and a Little Knit of That
