My latest finish (I don't count my smutty paranormal books 🤣) was this boxed set. It was my first foray into audible fiction and I really enjoyed it! It was a great story of witches, dreams, and other worlds, all spun into the reality of the last couple of years. It was cleverly written in a way to be engaging in that manner, without going too conspiracy theory. The audible reader was fantastic and her Scottish accent was awesome! You can get the whole set for 1 credit. I'm moving onto the next. Definitely recommend!

Atomic Habits is the latest Audible book that I've finished. All in all not too bad, but this falls into the not overly profound stack. The author isn't remotely as engaging nor entertaining as Mel Robins, but does provide a good mixture of data, wit, and science. If habits and structure are something you struggle with then I think this would be a great book. However, at this point in my life...good but not awe inspiring.

So I like to read...really like to read. I've found I love to listen to podcasts as well as "learning" books. Big no way to fiction audiobooks, my mind wanders too much! I will freely admit I rarely find any of these learning books profound. Girl wash your face, the f it books, etc...meh, general common sense just in another format. Not bad, but definitely nothing id call profound. This was the first one in a long while that I really enjoyed and even better..I learned something from. I highly recommend it!! Btw, if you are an Amazon subscriber you may be like me and didn't realize you may checkout one audio book at a time for free. Onto the 5 second rule (she narrates her own books so it sounds like a podcast). Cheers!

The 5 second rule was my latest read/listen. I will say I didn't find this one as profound as the let them theory. That being said, I think it's due to my life stage. Me 5 or more years ago really needed this book and would have found it profound. If you are struggling w stress, career, pushing yourself, committing, believing in yourself, etc...this is for you!

Next up...Atomic Habits and Career Quake!

It has been a while Instagram :) I didn't leave you, I just got a bit bored with you admittedly. I will be posting more, but can't get on the video band wagon. I hate watching them and I hate doing them even more.

The business has exploded with eBay being my largest platform. Books and patterns of all kinds have become my new favorite niche. I am still doing clothes, but I am no longer drawn to selling them. Please visit the stores as I think you'll be surprised at the growth. Happy Holidays!

No matter whom you support, your beliefs, and what is most important to you. It's important that you have these beliefs and convictions and follow through with them. They matter and you matter.

Tons of new items on every platform. I have been putting in a lot of work in growing the business. Cheers!

In honor of a really sad post I saw on today's news...ebooks don't compare to a great book, but here are 20 great places to load up your Kindles, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, phones, etc :) Read and get your children into the habit of reading. It's very sad what has happened to this generation. and the vintage Pizza Huts!!

I don't know about anyone else, but it's been a really busy and stressful month! Here's hoping that things settle down into September. Regardless, take time for you! You will find a ton of books and craft kits on the website. Use code ThankYou25 for 25% off.

Yes! Time to finish the weeding, gardening and pruning I should have done in may :) my hope is that next year is just maintenance. Big house and yard means more to take care of. I do love it though!
