weekend reading

i love a good work of fiction.

weeks ago, i purchased this:



cause i like to skim off the top of the bestseller list.

but i didn't get around to reading it until this weekend.

it was fantastic!  and at under 300 pages, it makes for a nice weekend read:)

however, i may have had dreams on sat. night that i was being chased.  because i am a light-weight:)  i do not watch scary movies, and i can only just read scary books.

*(full disclosure: i read all 3 books in the series this weekend, finishing the last one yesterday, cause who can stand not knowing what happens??)

what are you reading?

what i found this morning

every morning (at some point)  i check my email and etsy shops.

many days, i find that my work has been featured in someone's lovely treasury collection on etsy.

this is great for two reasons:

first, it's soo humbling to know that someone likes what you make! and that they like it enough to put it in a list of their 16 favorite items??  feels like a warm hug:)

second, these treasury lists are carefully curated groups of fabulous finds all put together for us to appreciate!  no searching or digging required!

here are a couple of wonderful finds that i was greeted with this morning:

amazing fondant icing chevron brownie toppers!  yes please:) by TwoSugarBabies




this is an awesome custom print that made me laugh:

custom print by NaptimeDiaries

by the way, Jessi from naptime diaries is a lovely, lovely girl with a lovely, lovely blog!  check her out!



lastly, this is an amazing book that i am reading every morning right now:

it was given to me by a dear sweet friend, who is the most beautiful person!  and this book is kicking my butt!  every morning.
if you haven't seen it or read it yet...go get one!  and i am going to buy one for a friend (or two) and pass along this treasure that was passed along to me.

blessings!
