Today's Writing Prompt: Banned Books Unfortunately, your country is now under the control of an extremist regime, and all literature other than religious texts has been banned.  Do you give up your books to stay safe? Or are there certain books you make an effort to conceal and preserve? If so, which ones are worth the cost to you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_censorship_in_Canada I`m probably going to hear a lot of flak for this answer. But I can`t think of a single book that is worth risking my life for. I love books. They are a very important part of my life. If I could think of a way to save them without risking my life too much I would. But they are not as important as breathing. Close, but not quite. The next Freedom to Read week is February 22-28, 2015. http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.ca/2014/01/todays-writing-prompt-banned-books.html They say we are going to have a rough flu season this year. I hope not. But I`m also not naive so you can be sure I wi...

It has been a crazy busy week. My youngest son and girlfriend were here for a week and just headed for home on Saturday. I am still in the process of putting the house back in shape. Planning for our fundraising for Relay for Life is started. And I'm hosting some friends for a crop at my place on Wednesday. In the middle of all this Hal decides to get blood poisoning. Wow, do you get in to see a doctor fast when you have blood poisoning. The good news is that thanks to IV antibiotics Hal is already starting to get better and his employer has put him on light duty. The bad news is that we have to go sit in the ER every night for more antibiotics until he is well enough to switch to pills. That could be 3-7 days. If we both don't get sick this week it will be an absolute miracle. What am I up to this week, other than all that? I'm making great progress on several manuscripts on the go. I finished 2 dishcloths. I finished the angry birds paper piecin...

Wow, why is it that time flies when you have so much you need to get done? It has been a busy week. Hal has been away a lot. One trip was 3 days out. It makes for some nice pay cheques before Christmas though. And it gives me some quality alone time to work on a few projects. Somehow I managed to end up with 3 manuscripts on the go at the same time. One will be finished today and ready to sell by the end of the week. It just needs a quick edit on a couple of things. I have 2 new sketchbooks coming out. One is more single page sketches and the other is two-page sketches. These will be ready about mid-December. Just in time for Christmas. {hint hint . . . LOL}. And I am planning a book about Alma College to commemorate 5 years since its destruction. I was on the scene before the fire trucks and took hundreds of photos until late the next day when the demolition was finished. Another book planned is on scrapbook design, what to do when your layout just isn...

I'm very excited to be working on my newest manuscript Two-Page Scrapbooking with Sketches which I plan to have published before Christmas.  That equals a lot of sketching and a lot of samples to create.  I could sure use your help. Here is one of the sketches which will appear in my next book: If you accept my challenge, create a layout (with or without photos although with is preferred) and post a link to your finished layout in the comments here.   First prize: Scrapbooking with Sketches FREE now and Two-Page Scrapbooking with Sketches FREE as soon as it is published.  Your layout will be credited to you in the book. Second prize:  Scrapbooking with Sketches FREE Third prize:  $10 gift certificate to spend at Pam's Paper Piecings Deadline:  September 30, 2012.

I received my first royalty cheque today . . . WOO HOO! It's not huge but it certainly is nice. I think I can call myself a professional writer now . . . LOL To CELEBRATE, I have dropped the price on all my books by 20% until Friday at midnight. I hope you'll order at least one.

Sketches are a great tool for planning layouts. Sketches are also called floor plans, blueprints or page maps. I prefer to use simpler sketches to help with a general layout of my page and then I add my own details to finish it up. Sometimes I make so many changes that the finished layout doesn’t even resemble the sketch I started out with.
