thank you for your honesty
On the way down to Atlanta and back last week, Kriste and I listened to the first two audio books in the Divergent series. I’ve become a real fan of listening to “books on tape”, as I call them (and Jeff makes fun of me for it), when riding in the car for long periods […]

Good evening, all! Sorry I’m a bit behind schedule today, but I was having some technical difficulties. Anyway, you may have seen that I posed a question to my readers earlier this week – What do you want from my blog? The answers have been so helpful to me and confirmed a lot of my […]
knack-tastic
I’ve made some really special friends through my blog and one of them is Barb Blair of Knack Studios. A few years ago, I received a call on my business line. “Hello?” On the other end was a sweet southern voice that said something like (I’m paraphrasing, here), “My name is Barb Blair and I […]

Hello, Mustard Seed lovers from Atlanta! Kriste here. Marian and I rolled into town yesterday evening for Haven and have enjoyed poking around the city a bit before the conference kicked off.
