I hope you have had a wonderful week. It was yet another week of horrible storms in the southern US, but at least this week, Mother Nature gave us the beauty of the Northern Lights reaching quite deep in the country. This week's website edition features:
Weekly Friday Finds | 10-11-2024 | Trivia Time & Author of the Month News I’m taking a short break from the trivia game to see if there are more participants when it returns. And maybe a little because I am overwhelmed with reviews, and donations are down. I count on donations & affiliate links to keep the blog running and to offer prizes. I’m also pausing the Author of the Month Award until I can find a better way for you to vote for your favorites. Suggestions, please! Weekly Friday Finds |10-11-2024 | Independent Author News New Adoption Book & FREE Digital Coloring Book from Tom Tracy Just in time for National Adoption Month in November, Tom Tracy started a campaign to bring awareness to his latest book, Wonderfully You: An Ode to Adoption. His oldest daughter’s adoption experience inspired this beautiful book. As such, it highlights LGBTQIA+ families and transracial adoption. It is also his first book written entirely in rhyming prose, which helps make it a “read again and again” kids’ book. Weekly Friday Finds | 10-11-2024 | Books What are you reading this week? Here is one that caught my eye this week. Born to an American myth and raised in the wilds of Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley tells her whole story for the first time in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir faithfully completed by her daughter, Riley Keough. Weekly Friday Finds |10-11-2024 | Recipes This Sausage Veggie and Apple Sheet Pan Dinner from Cooking Classy is the perfect way to use those seasonal veggies and herbs. It’s an easy recipe to throw together and has the perfect fall flavors. Weekly Friday Finds |10-11-2024 | Creative Project When I was a kid (all those eons ago), molded crafts were all the rage. We knew how to stink up a house, from Creepy Crawlers (IYKYK!) to melting tiny plastic sheets into car bodies. Today, you can make this safer version with the littles using a liquid gel that sets up in water. I recently saw an original Creepy Crawler machine on eBay for over $300! This is another chance for me to bemoan the fact that younger siblings tore up all my coolest toys. (aff link) Please share the 10-11-2024 Friday Finds with your friends and family if they would be interested. I'm not above begging for more followers. lol! If you are feeling exceptionally generous…donations are always welcome! See you soon for more Weekly Friday Finds Fun! Gina |

Reader, Welcome to Friday Finds for 11-08-2024. How are you today? I'm doing great...busy, but things are going well. I'm still deciding on changes I will be making on the website and to the newsletter for 2025. I am soliciting advice from my readers on several points. I plan to have a few polls to help me decide. But I could NOT face anything to do with polls and voting just yet. No matter your thoughts on the American election, we ALL need a break from that rhetoric! So let's relax and have...
Welcome to Friday Finds for 11-10-2024. Wow, what a week!! I’ve been out to breakfast with friends, Christmas shopping has begun, and I am still trying to find a replacement furnace. My article was published in Lou Kemp’s newsletter, and I hope to gain some traction from that endeavor. The BBNYA Semi-finalist tour is going great. Until December 4, a new post featuring a semi-finalist will be posted every day. Look for the hashtag #BBNYA2024 on ALL social media sites to follow along. The US...
