Book It – New Year’s Resolutions
It’s January again, and I’m so proud of myself for completing an entire year of posts about the books I’ve read. It’s been a great way for me to keep track of all those books, and to share my love of reading with all of you. With 2016 comes a new year and a new…
Read More#Project52 – My Favorite
I’m not as good at singing as Julie Andrews, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have a few things in life that I absolutely love.

The new season of Project Quilting has started, which is great. I love having inspiration for sewing projects.

Read MoreBookish Questions – Would you rather read any ending that makes you feel happy or sad?
