Newest News:
It is National Novel Writing Month. The very first day. I don’t know what I’m going to write. As I write this part of my blog, I haven’t even registered for this year on the NaNo site. I had an idea a couple of weeks ago but didn’t write it down, so it’s gone. It may appear later as I put words to paper. We’ll see how that goes. This is an actual good thing though, as I’d like to get my writing habit back. Wish me luck!
November is also gratitude month for me. Every day on my personal Facebook page I list something I’m grateful for. I like this exercise. It reminds me every year of all the things/people/activities that make my life wonderful. Give it a try yourself if you don’t already.
Stay tuned!

Where will I Be?
An old poster. Actually begins Nov 9th at 3pm.
The Twilight Tuesday Christmas Market this year will run from November 9th, 3 – 6pm to December 21st. I have obtained two appearance dates, when I only expected one so I’m pretty happy about that. I have a booth date of November 23rd, and one of December 14th. Come on by, check out our version of a European Style Christmas market and enjoy.
In between my two Twilight Tuesday Christmas Market events, I’ve just signed up for an outdoor market event at our local coffee shop, Common Grounds. That date is December 4th and runs 9am – 2pm. Common Grounds is in Payson at the corner of Colcord and Wade Lane. More details when they release a flyer.
