Deb Raney + Garage Sale + $5 = ???

April 19, 2022 By Tamera Alexander

So a while ago, I gave Deb Raney $5 and asked her to buy me something the next time she and Ken went garage sale-ing. She always comes back with the neatest finds. If you don't already follow Deb's garage sale posts on her Facebook Page, you need to! She finds the best stuff. For example... I love what she did with that pot. So pretty. She's just so stinkin' creative. So...what … [Read more...]

Be careful what you wish for

February 15, 2022 By Tamera Alexander

Meet Gary Garrison, a good friend, who once asked me to put him in one of my books. Since we're such good friends, of course, I said YES! Gary’s first preference, he stated, was to be a cover model, shirt ripped opened and chest bared. Hairy chest or not, was negotiable. He said we could Photoshop that as desired. And he wanted his long, thick mane flowing behind him in the wind. I told him … [Read more...]
