August Reads 2018

August was a great month for reading. I don't think I have ever read this many books in such a short time.
Karen Marie Moning's Fever series has consumed my life- I've stayed up pass my bedtime many a night..lol😂. MacKayla and Barrons has quickly become one of my favorite "couples".

Penny Reid's Winston Brothers are a fun romance series and these breaded cuties are on my book boyfriend list😉

Karina Halle's Maverick is part of her North Ridge series but they can be read as stand alones. The other two are on my to-read list.

We Were Here by Daisy Prescott is a prequel to her Geoducks are for Lovers series. This book gave me some wonderful 80's and 90's nostalgia.  College life, big hair, and great rock tunes.

🍁🌻 September to read list 🌻🍁

Christmas wishes

Three more days till Christmas and this year, Todd and I are actually celebrating. We moved into our apartment in August after moving out of his mother's house. It's been a healing process. Todd was very close to his mom and it was hard on him when we lost her in 2015. Now that we have our own place, he wanted to celebrate the holidays. We even got a tree

I've been doing some holiday crafting as well. YouTube and Pinterest can draw you in so fast when it comes to crafting ideas. I've learned how to put a junk journal together and made one from all my old Christmas cards I've been holding on to for a long time. Now they are in one spot. Planning on making another one using my 1992 high school graduation cards..yes...I kept them all. Here is a look at my Christmas junk journal.

And as the old year ends and the new year will soon begin, I'm updating my Happy Planner for 2018. I have a very unique style and enjoy a few fandoms. I'm going to incorporate Doctor Who, Steampunk and Outlander in my planner layouts. It will make keeping up with things a lot more enjoyable.  Here's a sneak peek...

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Christmas and a very blessed New Year🎄🎁🎅❄⛄🎉🎉🎉🎉
