Dancing On Daisies

Not much to say today. Well, I do, but I'm still recovering from last week's planning of kid #2's high school graduation party. The party was this past Saturday. Loved it, but thankful it's over, too. I think I'm getting too old to be the triplets of Planning Peggy, Hostess Hannah, and Cleanup-Crew Christina. Phew.... I'm spent. 

I did want to quickly chime in with a warm and humble THANK YOU for the amazing well-wishes, congratulations, and comments I received about my YA novel being acquired by a publisher. I was stunned at the number of folks who took time to comment on my post HERE, on Facebook, and on Twitter. My phone literally blew up all day long, and even for the next few days. The smile on my face was because of all of you.

Lastly, I'm here to thank those who entered my two giveaways and to announce the winners! Major congrats goes out to: 


ELLEN MULHOLLAND

    1. Haha! Thanks for your cheesy encouragement. ;) I look forward to it and to sharing it with everyone. But honestly, I've been researching all I'll need to do to market and such ... Whoa...I'm already exhausted.

  2. You need to master encouraging your kids to find friends with really extravagant families so they are happy to go to THOSE parties and just have a low-key family thing at home... Ours for my daughter was very small and I imagine for my son next year it will be the same. Congrats to getting another through it though!

    1. You have the right idea! I think we'll probably take the lighter route with our other two children still in school. I'm just getting too old for this stuff. lol

  3. When my first agency closed and I found myself back in the query trenches I was devastated, but the outpouring of support I got online got me through it. I was blown away by how sweet everyone was.

    1. Yes it is. I find it so much easier to give support then to accept it. But everyone is just so dang kind. :)

    You are industrious, with a graduation party...I didn't even know people had parties for that. My parents never did, so I had no idea I could do it for my kids. LOL
