Here I am again. Please excuse my absence... But anyone deserves to have a break around Christmastime!! and what a Christmas it was. On the Eve of Christmas Eve, we all over went over to my sister's home and had a baking party!   Friends from all around came over to help. Treats of many shapes and sizes were made: Sugar cookies, Pizzelles, chocolate cookies, truffles, Butterfinger, biscotti, ginger cookies, and Snickerdoodle were what the house smelt like. It was so much fun! I made Snickerdoodle cookies and they tasted SUPER good so yay me!!     After that we were given thoughtful presents from my dear friend Sammi Bender and I got nail polish and cozy socks. The rest of the evening was spent laughing and reminiscing some fun memories.    Christmas Eve was pretty amazing too. There were a bunch of pressies to bring over and it was a hassle. But all in good time. We packed a bag to stay the night and kept the radio going all night, liste...

I am back to tell a story of how me and my sisters went to an old-time picture booth and traveled back in time. Every picture has a different story. It is going to be fun to tell about them all!     We are some dangerous dames of legend in this picture.(We're all holding fake guns...but they look for all the world that they're real!!)   We became the richest people in the world and now we're wanted by everyone!! (Not really...we just want you to think that.) We cross disagreeing terms and began fighting over who gets what...this picture was so fun to act out. In this picture, I am protecting my little sister, Jacinta. My sister, Tiny, is protecting Bella, out elder sister, and all of us!! It's a beautiful summer day out! we are all the perfect ladies in this picture :-) Here we are next to a comfy living-room fireplace. This was a very cozy picture.  It was a really cool occasion. I am going to remember it for a ...

  I am so tired today! All I want to do is curl up in a fluffy blanket and take a nap. I have been doing ALOT of things lately, like taking long walks around town, staying up later then a should because I forget what time it is, and getting ready for Christmas. I've been writing so much lately, too. I cannot believe that I'm on my last three Dragon and Martin books. I am writing them slowly so that they aren't rushed but it is still very shocking.  I want to actually give you guys some updates on my Dragon and Martin pictures. I haven't done so well with posting them on my blogs...which is why I am going to now! and so...DA-DA-DUMMMM.....here they are! Meet Dragon and Martin's magical friend, Wizard Tobias. He is kind and loves to have tea and cookies.   Meet the horrible lurking Sire. He is Dragon's worst enemy, as you already know, and is always trying to fox-nap Martin so that he can capture Dragon. He is will stop at nothing ...

THE CHRISTMAS FIRETRUCK CAME LAST NIGHT!!!!! YAAAY!!!!! It was so cool! Like always, I bundled myself up and waited outside, listening for the music from the firetruck to come. I waited about ten minutes before another one of my sisters joined me. Together we waited until we heard the sound of the Christmas engine coming. I got all jazzed like..... BA-DUM-TSK!!   I rushed quickly inside to tell my sister to come out with us to see it. It wasn't long before it made its way down the road. That was then I realized that my mommy wasn't home from work yet!!!!! She was going to miss it! I was so sad and prayed she'd get home on time to see it. But the Firetruck came and left so fast that mommy missed it by ten minutes. We were able to have our pictures taken in front of it. How cool is that?! (We are the dark figures...do you see us??)  It was so awesome and exciting to see it, and I just was so sad mommy had to miss such a one-time-a-year occasion...

And she's back! This is going to be a very boring post. I literally have no interesting news for all of you. "That's it, I'm out of ideas." Okay, okay. Maybe I have some interesting news. Let me think...... Nope, I've got nothing. But I "think I know why! The majority of my posts are usually about my Dragon and Martin books and lately, I have been one distracted person. This is what happens. I sit down....  I get ready to write....Settle myself on a comfy couch...and then the troubles emerge. I see something more interesting. Like a book I've wanted to read for a long time... "SQUIRREL!!!!"   And that's where I got distracted. But hey! at least I try, right?   Since I have no further exciting writing news for the day, I might as well tell you what I plan on doing today. I want to go for an inspirational walk around the block, that way I can get my thoughts in order again, I want to piece together a puzzl...

I am back! I cannot believe how quickly time flies by when you're having fun writing. I got to this part in my Dragon and Martin series and just couldn't stop writing for a long time. It isn't finished yet.. I am still taking my sweeeet time. But I know that you can't rush perfection so I'm trying to take it slowly. That way I will have enough time to really think and plot my ending. You know what's pretty cool? We've got this awesome annual Christmas Firetruck occasion, every year about a week before Christmas, when this epic lit up firetruck, decorated with Christmas lights, comes to town with Christmas music playing, and the firemen inside hand out free candy canes to those who come outside to see it. It's really a fun thing to witness and will be coming in about four days! Usually it comes when there is snow on the ground and when it's dark outside. I am annoyed that there is no snow yet! What's with this weather? all w...

I woke up this morning, thought about how soon Christmas is, and did a little bounce of joy. It's twelve days until Christmas! yay! I cannot wait for this year of Christmas to come around. I went shopping with on of my sisters today and bought some really nice red high-heels for my Christmas outfit. I am so excited to wear them! I also plan on going Christmas shopping soon. I love Christmas shopping...there's just always so many things to pick as a thoughtful gift that it's hard for me to make up my mind sometimes! But in the end It all works out okay.   As for my daily writing routine... I haven't written at all! I am ashamed. But I will try to do better this weekend when I have more time. For right now I just have to sit down, think about how I want to finish the series of Dragon and Martin, and write down stuff when I get great ideas.   until then, hang in there, guys. Anyway, I must go now. See you all tomorrow with a new post!

It's me again! Just popping on to say hi. I waited until late to blog because I'm nuts, so this is going to be a very short entry.                        But I have good news! Dragon and Martin are back!! A trip to conquer the enemy    Martin is given electronic wings for Christmas(But they don't work too well)   Martin visits his Uncle and shows off his flying abilities    On July 4th, Dragon and Martin went out on a lake to see fireworks!     I had lots of fun with these pictures. Each one is from a different book from earliest to latest. I am getting closer every day to finishing the series and am so excited!       Anyway, I should go. I hope you all have a terrific week. See you all later!       Bye for now....

Hi, you wonderful people! I am posting today about a fun event that I just had. Sleigh riding! It was so fun! We got to climb into a sleigh( but with wheels, since there was hardly any snow ) and we sang "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer". It was slower than I expected but super fun. We also got to pet a pretty horse and feed it. Dragon and Martin are still being written out and I have been giving them a lot of thought. I know how they're going to end and am excited but also nervous. I can't wait! Next week or so I will try hard to copy some more pictures onto my blog so that you all can see them. Until we meet again!

Hello! I am here once again! It's exactly seventeen days until Christmas! I am so excited!   I can't believe it's so soon! I feel all happy and warm inside. We have our Christmas tree up too! "It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."       It's really pretty and I love it. It lightens up the whole room and gives it a lot more color. Christmas trees are so beautiful!  I plan on going through all my Dragon and Martin books I've ever written and typing them out on computer, because most of them are still in notebooks and in my handwriting. Dragon and Martin have been waiting to be officially typed up so that others may be able to read about them. I am going to be honest, my handwriting is very rushed and sometimes hard to decipher. Sometimes I look back on what I wrote and I see: messy, squiggled out words, misspellings, and missing letters that get lost through my excitement as I write. It's a littl...
