We had our first snow of the season on my birthday. I am not ready for snow! It seems like we didn't have much of a Fall here this year, which is my favorite season.
But, the snow reminded me that it's getting to be holiday card season as well. If you would like a holiday card from me, please fill out the form on https://forms.gle/ma7GGgrYVwoKomoX7
I have about 50 or so cards I can send out this year. :) The signup will also subscribe you to my newsletter.
I am going to be at Happily Indie After in Cincinnati, OH on 8/14-8/15/26! I'm so excited! There are so many indie authors attending, including some from my book group on TikTok. I can't wait to met them in real life.
If you are interested, click here for their website/details/tickets.
Books are also available for preorder (To make sure you get a copy. Many authors, including myself, are offering bonus swag for preorders.) Click here to find the preorders that are up.
I finally managed to get some decorations up this week and we carved pumpkins and roasted seeds last night. My pumpkin turned out...okay. Not as good as I would have liked. I didn't trace the stencil well enough and it moved and I didn't realize it until I started carving...whoops!
Anyway...I created a couple of book themed pumpkin stencils, that I think will work. There are some very narrow lines, so you will probably need to thin the pumpkin wall if you have a thick pumpkin. I have not tried these yet, as I don't have more pumpkins, but I think they should work...if nothing else maybe they'll inspire some fun ideas.
If you create a book themed pumpkin, post it in the comments! I would love to see it.
These are what they should look like (theoretically, lol) on a pumpkin. The PDF has the actual files you can print, if interested. The dark areas (yellow in the mock ups) will be what you remove.
