Speaking of finding bargains today.....Look at my beautiful angel, HOLDING A BOOK! I didn't expect to find any "figures holding books" today, nor was I even looking for any, but this beautiful angel found me, in a huge warehouse of a store. Just about everything in the store was VERY expensive, to the point of being ridiculously expensive. But it was in an expensive neighborhood, and we were there just to browse and gawk, to be perfectly honest....and hoping to find a good sale....which didn't happen! I was the only one who found anything to buy, & I stood in line for a LONG time, to buy this beautiful little 4 inch statue for $9.00! The pictures don't do her justice. She is so lovely, and sparkly and I just love her!! So, I have 3 in my collection now! The angel, Santa and the duck! Ahhhh, Simple Pleasures!
Welcome & thank you to my two newest followers, numbers 142 & 143: Mya and Faith Hope CherryTea! I really cannot believe that I am nearing 150 followers! It's amazing and I'm so appreciative of each and every one of you! Thank you, thank you!!
I also wanted to mention that two of my blog buddies have contests going on right now. Lisa Ricard Claro's contest ends on Monday, November 15th, so hurry on over! And Karen Lange's contest ends at noon on Wednesday, November 17th, so you need to hurry over there, as well. If anyone else is having a contest that I forgot to blog about, please let me know! I don't want to leave anyone out. And also, don't forget that MY contest ends on Monday, November 15th, too!
Tomorrow, I really must get back into my routine of writing every day, again!! I started out so well on November 1st and it lasted for about 3 whole days. Aacckkk! Hey Joe! I need another shout-out from you about Baby Steps!! Where ya been?

Thx MUCH for the mention!

ReplyDeleteAdorable figurines. Breaks are need. You'll have a burst of speed now.
ReplyDeleteBecky---I'm not Joe, but I can make up a comment about "baby steps."
ReplyDeleteTake one small step today. Write a beginning to a vignette/essay/short story. And then let it sit and simmer for a while...
Do one small thing today. Revise the ending of a piece. Add a great image/metaphor/simile to a piece.
Maybe you're a hat person. Or glasses person. Natalie Goldberg suggests that some writers write better when they have a special hat on, or glasses (fun ones---this probably works better for people who DON'T have to wear them in real life).
Writing begins one butt cheek at a time. Put one butt cheek down in the chair, let the other cheek settle in, and begin writing...
That's a cute angel. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThe angel is my favorite one in your collection so far. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Becky ... what a beauty your angel is! I am glad that you had such a great day with your friends.
ReplyDeleteSioux, that one butt cheek at a time comment cracked me up!
Sounds like a wonderful and fun day! Love your angel with a book! Great collection!

ReplyDeleteHey Becky - Thanks for the link--your name goes in the hat twice!

That angel is devine!

Those angels are GREAT.
ReplyDeleteYou had a good day.

Making changes by leaps and bounds enables you to jump over the things that can derail you later. Taking baby steps allows you to see everything and fix it along the way. Babies miss nothing on the floor, it's the adults who can walk on by.
ReplyDeleteBecky, you have some great giveaways. I posted your contest on my blog.

Oh, Becky, don't you just love it when you find something unexpected, so dear, and so perfect -- and so nicely priced! Sounds like a lovely day with friends, and isn't that the best kind?
