I forgot the planners!!!

Silly me! I swear, it was lack of sleep - I spent Sunday and Monday catching up on stuff I let slip last week.

Okay, for those pink inclined - there were four of you - Rhonda (blessed heart), Rowan (rowan west), Caffey, and Julia. I'll try get to all of your blogs today to ask you for a mailing address, but if you happen to see this in the meantime feel free to use the email addie in my profile to drop me a line with the details.

T43 Reader Competition

I just got a comment through, where Toni pointed out that I've never posted the winner of this competition. My bad! I posted it on my website but forgot to here at the Blog.

I won't keep you waiting -- the winner of the Tea for Three Reader Competition is : Michelle Bauer.

With luck she's already gotten the prize, maybe she'll surprise us with a picture of her with it over her shoulder?

Counting down, and a giveway. . .

Final proofreader edits went back early this morning (in ePublishing deadlines tend to be a lot closer to publication than in print), so I can put the cap back on the Tums and party like it's my Birthday ... oh, wait! It is! Well, on Friday that is. I'll be the ripe old age of 34.

So in honor of my birthday I'm giving away Tea for Three mouse pad and some goodies of the chocolaty persuasion. Perfect for sitting down and reading your favorite eBooks with!

Email me, using the address in my profile, with the names of the names of the three lead characters of Tea for Three (hint: you don't have to look far, or hit my main website) by Sunday 27th May, midday, and my 7yr old will scientifically choose a winner from the entrants.

Been busy this week

The contractors have been in turning this:

Into this:

Obviously they aren't finished but come Monday/Tuesday it should all be ready for me to paint. I have a few things to hunt out this weekend to finish this room off, and the electrician to do the new lights, but finally, NO PINK! (And yes that is a bleach splotched towel - stupid summer thunderstorms that knock out the power just as you put the washing machine on!).

On the writing front, Persuading Jo fans are going to be getting a little somethin' somethin' in the not too distant future. Can't say anymore, but if your not already join up to the Loose Id Community Loop, or become an Idbit - there is some happenings a...well...going to be a happening. The community loop is a general chat group where you will find authors lurking about, whereas Idbits is a newsletter only group, direct from Loosey's mouth. The one thing this has done is light a fire under my arse to get McCabes 2 finished. I think I have figured out where/what I'm changing. Now just to get it on paper!

Okay, now I'm going to wrap hubby in something besides sweaty gym clothes and drag him down to the Apple Store - I'm getting tired of being strapped to this desk. I like writing in other places because I keep feeling guilty - like I need to sew when I'm sitting in my 'room'. Anyone want to make me some yo-yo's?

Hey, there's a competition in that - if you know what a yo-yo is in relation to sewing, leave a comment and a link to a photo of a yo-yo, and I will make a random drawing for a copy of Position Vacant for a lucky commentor on Sunday (2/25) night! Oh, and since the first person with the correct answer will clue everyone in, everyones links have to be different!

If you can leave a url to a photo of you actually making a yo-yo, I'll give you 5 bonus points.
