Time got away from me, and it was all good. Nick and I spent time on the coast, twice with our granddaughter who has been camping with us since she was 2 1/2. Took lots of photos, met new friends from Minnesota, and enjoyed places we'd not seen before. Oh yes, and I joined the Facebook community, thanks to some prodding from my daughter. I've really enjoyed staying in better touch with far-flung relatives and old friends who've lost touch over the years.
I also poured myself into a new creative outlet, jewelry design. My Etsy shop, Beadspiration, has kept me busy as I create and add new pieces. Between beading projects, I learned to work with polymer clay, and opened a second shop I named Clayspiration.
In July, Standard Publishing released my new book for 'tweens, Weird & Wacky, Strange & Slimy. I built a website at Wix.com to showcase the book, and am adding interactivity fun for kids there. Check it out! And speaking of websites, I scrapped the old and brought out the new in both my main website and in Wonderkorner.com, a site I launched way back in 1995. I'm liking the results, and will be adding new content--book reviews, toy reviews, software reviews, and more--in the weeks ahead.
With changes at Blogger, I somehow managed to lose all the blogs I'd been connected with for years, so I'm going to have to figure out how to reconnect. Seems like the minute I catch up, someone moves the rules.
Fall has brought a lot to celebrate, and it's my all-time favorite season. I'm thankful for family and friends, and work I enjoy. Most of all, I'm grateful that God oversees my life and keeps me from stumbling. His love is everything to me.
