Glad Tidings

December 23, 2020 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends, It’s two days until Christmas! I can hardly believe it’s been another year of sharing our love of books, stories, and life together.

Merry (Quarantined) Christmas

December 21, 2020 By Lynn Austin

Inspired by Christmas

December 9, 2020 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends, Is it just me or does it feel like Christmas came on so fast this year? It just doesn’t feel like it’s Christmastime yet. It’s probably because, thanks to the sweet kindness of a friend, my family got to spend two weeks in the Outerbanks and enjoy Thanksgiving there.
