I always head to your blog for your latest reads. You are one of my go-to 'book list' places I trust for recommendations. Beginning to put together a middle grade reading selection for my granddaughter and The Same Stuff As Stars and Jacob Have I Loved are going on the list. Congratulations on your baby!!!

Debbie, Your email came back non-deliverable. Just wanted to let you know I tried to send the lesson plans. Susan

Amber, The email address you provided returned non-deliverable. Just wanted you to know I tried sending the lesson plans. Susan

Alexa, I think the 4th grade child in me attributed beautiful handwriting to left-handedness because my teacher made such a big deal out of it. Maybe she was over-compensating for all the times some parent or another teacher made a child switch to right-handed writing or eating.

Thanks so much Alexa. I always seem to add something to my to-do list, or bucket list, or want to get done list that requires some - participation - from the hubs. My expectations are often to high. Not necessarily bad - but not good either. Of the entire list it is the firepit that might not happen.

Thank you so much Alexa! I am enjoying making these pages, documenting what I've been reading, almost as much as the reading. I hunt reading blogs for books to add to my TBR and to fill my book shelves or put on hold at the library.

Thank you so much Carrie. I appreciate your kindness. It was such a great weekend.

Thank you Alexa! I must confess the page is a scraplift of an Ali Edwards page she made for her GO story kit. But, I love how mine came out, digitally, too.

Alexa, my term forever furniture is simply me hoping I don't have to buy furniture again - ever. When I bought the furniture I purchased the highest quality I could find with that in mind - I don't want to have to buy furniture again.

Thanks Alexa. The H is actually part of the Hope Academy's brand logo. I think recently they've changed their colors, too. I'll need to update that:)

Bless you. Appreciate the cheers!

Thanks so much Alexa. Finished PT for whiplash - doing so much better.

Thanks so much Carrie. The year all about me has been fun! Hope you have a wonderful 2019.

Thank you so much Alexa for your kind words. I very much enjoy reading and recording what I've read. So looking forward to the TN for documenting. Blessings to you in 2019 as well.

Thanks Alexa. How interesting that you recognize books by color. I might do this in a way but certainly not always.

Thanks so much Carrie. I find it extremely hard NOT to keep buying more books. I recently applied for a new library card so maybe that will help curb my 'spending' but I still have so many books on my shelves still yet to read.

Hey D, I would love to send you the lesson plans. What email address should I use? - Susan

We chose the Lazy Gray. After it was on the wall I was 80% happy but it is heavy on the blue tones and sometimes looks blue which I realized afterward I didn't want.

Thank you Alexa for your kind words. I agonize over design. It just doesn't come easy to me.

Great 'meeting' you, too!

Thank you, Alexa. I saw an advertisement made with letters coming off the page. I love using ads for inspiration.

Jenn, They are for the First Edition book. Susan

Eileen, When I tried to email you the lesson plans I kept getting a mail delivery error. Maybe you typed in your email address wrong; or, give me another email address and I'll be happy to send you the lesson plans. Thanks, Susan
