Warning: Rambling Ahead!
Oh my gosh…this is the first time in a week that I’ve had time to post something that I actually write. Wow. I tell you, back when I started my blog and I wrote nonstop I always complained. Now that I participate in a lot more blog tours, sometimes I miss all those times I complained. Ironic yes? This is actually how I feel today! Well I think I need to play some catch up, so are you ready for some ramblings? No, well too late! You’ve already read this far so hang on tight, we’re going for it! ***…

Blog Tour: No Vacancies – Day 1
Today I am extremely excited, my dear readers, to announce a Lucien Black takeover! Yes indeed, for the next three days I’m giving this amazing author full reign over my blog and he’ll be sharing his No Vacancies series with you. Today he’ll introduce the series, and then tomorrow and Sunday you’ll get a glimpse into one of the stories that ends in the newest installment, Volume 4. You lucky people you! Lest I continue to ramble on like a fangirl, I’ll go ahead and give the floor over to Lucien. Thank you very much Jessica for giving me a…

My apologies for not posting anything.
Oh wait, I just did. Well this post won’t have too much substance. I’m catching up on tour books and then I got a request to push another tour up so….I’ve been reading my behind off. Is that possible? Too bad reading doesn’t burn calories! If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the post before this about Travis and I hosting an AWESOME Halloween swap. Now…I’m off to the paper mill.

Come one, come all to the Spooky Swap!
Travis of Inked Books and I are hosting a Halloween Spooky Swap! (Special thanks to Jeremy West for this fabulous graphic!) If you don’t know what a swap is, here’s what it’s all about: Everyone likes getting stuff in the mail, and Halloween isn’t really a gift-giving holiday. Why? Well I wish we knew, but I like getting surprises so we declared it a gift-giving holiday! Everyone participating will fill out an info form, and we’ll match everyone with someone they groove with. Yes, we did just say groove. Unless you REALLY want to know who’s sending your package, we’ll…

On why I love my first graders.
See these? To you, these may just be crayons. Brightly colored pieces of wax that get stepped on sometimes, broken often and sadly dull quite quickly. To first graders…. These are possibilities. They are hundreds of pictures drawn onto empty sheets of paper. They are a means of creating something artistic, something new, something beautiful. To first graders, these are something to love and something to crave. Something to be excited about! These aren’t just dominoes. Oh no! These are buildings. Castles. Garages. Endless roads that tiny toy cars can ride through and crash into. These are tools to build…

Using a Cute Font for Your Sidebar and Post Titles
Happy Monday once again my friends! If you’ll recall, I’m dedicating each Monday to something that YOU, my bloggy friends, want to learn how to do on your blog. This week I know that someone asked how to make their post title and sidebar title fonts cute! *** Now I racked my brain to figure out what the best course of action was. See, this is a fairly HTML heavy item to do to your blog. I know some of you are terrified of HTML, and you shouldn’t feel bad! I once was too. It takes a lot of practice…

A quick post.
Saw this movie today and I have only one thing to say. Awesome! I shan’t get your hopes up. If you love action movies, and if you loved the last few (don’t count the third one I didn’t particularly like it either) then you’ll be happy with this one :). My only advice? See it in 3D. The directors who made this movie paid special attention to the 3D aspect when they were creating the movie, and it shows! I love me some 3D. On a random side note, hello to all my new followers! *waves madly* Every time I…

A fabulous day!
First off, let me take a quick moment to preach something. No, no it’s not anything religious…it’s just a word of advice. If you have a friend that you ADORE, keep in touch. When I left high school and went off to college, I lost a ton of my so called “friends”. Most of them went off to do their own things, got married, had kids, yadda yadda yadda. Still I had a few really amazing people left in my life and so I made an effort to keep seeing them as often as I could. Then my life took…

Blog Button Tutorial
Ah ha! You asked, I help. Here we go! How to make a blog grab button! Step 1: So first off, obviously, you need a button! This can be a picture that you already have, or you can create one using Photoshop, Picasa, Microsoft Paint, or any other program you have on your computer. Here is my button that I made for this tutorial. A good size for a grab button is 150×150, like the one pictured above. You can make it wider or taller if you prefer, but remember that most people have smaller sized sidebars! Step 2: Save…
