5 Days of Cozy Christmas Binge Novellas – Day #1

Day #1 – It’s Never Too Early for Christmas Books! Don’t Miss All 5 Days of this Fun Book Series, Just Click on Each Day: Day #1  –  Day #2  –  Day #3  –  Day #4  –  Day #5 I have always enjoyed pleasure reading, especially clean women’s fiction.  As busy as we all are these days, taking a short period of time out of your day to read a quick book is calming and satisfying.  I enjoy reading Christmas books all year round when I need a heartwarming pick-me-up!  I recently discovered “Novellas” which are shorter books around 125 – 200 pages.  It is nice to complete a book in a short period of time and still enjoy it just as much as a bigger novel of 300+ pages.  I have challenged myself to a “binge” on Christmas novellas that will give me exposure to newer authors as well…

How to Upcycle Old Jeans with Beaded Fringe

Upcycle Old Jeans ( Don’t miss Day #2 of this post HERE) Out with the old, in with the new, right?  Well, sometimes but not always — old jeans are the perfect upcycle project!  The styles of jeans change every couple of years, if not every year, but that doesn’t mean you have to give them the heave ho.  I have had these “Sweetheart” style Old Navy jeans for several years, they do not even make them anymore.  This style is a tad low on the waist and the leg width is looser than what I wear now, but it was hard for me to give them away when I saw a pair of beaded cropped jeans for a hefty price at one of our local retail stores.  You can really tell this pair of jeans has been worn a lot because they look like my knees are still in…
