Verrrry interesting.
ReplyDeleteOh my stars...
ReplyDeleteTINA!!!!
TEENSTER!!!!
I'm on the floor laughing here, because that is TOO fun.
Oh good heavens sakes to Betsy, where do you come up with such fun ideas???? I haven't looked that good since I "Elfed" myself.
And I'm just sayin', no one holds a candle to Tina as an elf. :)
So stinkin' fun.
Hey, I brought coffee. The dog got me up way too early after a night of way too late doing tax returns....
YAWN.....
More coffee, please, stronger if possible.
I brought fresh fruit, sugar-snow to celebrate maple syrup season AND the 18 inches of snow in my yard.
And plowboy was LATE yesterday, so my little ones had to trudge up the driveway from the road. And then again last night. What's up with that????
Loving how beautiful it is and WARM. Like mid-thirties with a heap of snow.
Edits are done, taxes are done, grandkids are coming later and we'll play in the snow.
HUGE piles of snow.
And then back to new book.
SWEET. God is good. Amazing. Wonderful.
Can you tell I'm getting a tax refund? :)
I'll treat everyone to Perkins. I love Perkins.
THIS much.
You all do look good on the FRONT PAGE!! What fun. Thanks for sharing all this. GREAT STUFF!! What fun!! But of course that's what you all do best you have fun and we do too!! :D

Okay, I'm with Ruthy ... WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS STUFF, GIRL???? This is TOOO CUTE and TOOOO FUNNY!!!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU, THANK YOU, for giving me the cover of Tru-Love -- I am forever indebted, but that GH picture is NOT my favorite, unfortunately. Wait, come to think of it, I don't have a favorite ... :)
SUPER CONGRATS to all the winners and happy weekend, all!
Hugs,
Julie
Tina,
ReplyDeleteHA! This is GREAT!!! You are awesome.
My favorite was 'VAGUE" Magazine. LOL
And where else should Julie be but on the cover of TruLove.
Oh Tina, so good!!
You're too much, Tina!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteTiiiiinnnnaaaaaa, You are tooooooo much.
ReplyDeleteThese are a blast.
Love you on the BLING cover. Great picture.
Maple Sugar Snow, Ruthy. Yum. Might even make snow worthwhile. Bet Glynna doesn't think so.
Ruthy, your first ever book signing. How fun is that? Wish I could wing my way to Rochester.
Maybe I'll call the bookstore and order some special autographed books. 585 697 7693 Autographed books make great gifts.
Mary's signing too.
Crossroads Bookstore 605 338 5951.
Tina, these covers are adorable. What FUN. Love how you captured everyone's personality. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHope you all have a very productive writing day. Hot coffee. A computer that runs.
Life is good.
VERY FUN, TINA!!!
ReplyDeleteMary, you are the big-time traveler, especially for someone who never got on a plane until she came to ACFW five or six years ago.
Love you guys.
Oh. My. Goodness!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SOOO cool, Tina!
I loved that you're on the Bling cover (LOL!!) and it totally makes sense for Julie to be on the TruLove cover. You really nailed it for some of these *wink*
I love when you guys get pictures up. You always look like you're having so much fun....it ties some of us over until we can *cough cough* actually meet you all *grin*

ReplyDeleteI'm with Pepper, Vague magazine is pretty good, we all know how much you Seekers hate to share on line...
Oh my gosh!! LOL How am I supposed to concentrate on all the news when those HILARIOUS yet BEAUTIFUL magazine covers are stealing my attention! Hahaaaa!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhhh!! Tina don't tell me THAT!!
ReplyDelete: O
And technically it's a lil longer....we don't graduate until June 15 (if we don't have anymore snowdays!).
But I don't wanna hear it! I'm in denial *wink*
That's exciting that you only have 26 days left to wait! Woohoo!! We'll be thinking of ya!

Ruthy, you getting a tax refund is almost as good as my son getting a tax refund.
ReplyDeleteAlmost, but not quite.
