Surprise in the mail!! My first book!

I received a great and unexpected package in the mail today! My first ever book, entitled THE ANSWER TO WORLD PEACE was supposed to arrive on the 11/12/09 – but it came 8 days early! WOW! I now have to make sure everything is ok and as soon as I decided if I like my cover enough, it will be on Amazon for sale! I am so excited and now that I have a real physical book in my hands it feels so amazing! I made my first ever (dorky) youtube video about my experience! Please forgive my nerdyness! Only 2 weeks left until the craft fair. If I order books I hope they will arrive in time to sell! -Kary

long time no type!

I haven’t typed for a long time on here. SORRY! I just submitted my book to be published – finally! I should have done this 4 weeks ago oh well. I’m excited. Trick or Treat was yesterday. I spent 7 hours carving and painting a pumpkin. I entered it in a contest at work and took 1st place – I won a $20 Target gift card. YAY! Tonight I’m putting it in the garbage because it smells. Now it’s time for Thanksgiving and Christmas decor. I can’t wait for my book. I’ll be checking the mailbox everyday hoping it’s there! haha – I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween weekend! -Kary

Tomato Soup with stuff! haha

I made some tomato soup for lunch but the crackers we have are bad… so in searching the fridge, I found some tortilla shells, ripped into pieces and added to my soup. then I found some shell noodles I made the other day- and added those as well. I sprinkled in some basil, parsley and dill (my favorite spice!). I also put some shredded cheeses across the top and wallah – Great awesome soup! hah it is so good!

The Answer to world peace

A website for people around the world to add stories and more to be read by everyone around the globe! check it out – www.theanswertoworldpeace.com

My new website is finally done! Woohoo!

It’s early Sunday morning. Over the weekend we were babysitting some friend’s kids. We had Chocolate chip pancakes with home-made whipping cream, strawberries, and concord grapes that my neighbor gave us. We also made brownies (some with caramel, choc. chips, walnuts, sprinkles, etc) We put them in cupcake tins so we could have different flavors. It worked out great!

I have been working on my website for awhile now. It is far from “professional” or anything, but I wanted to share that I am excited it is finally published for the public to view. If you want to check it out – go to www.TheAnswerToWorldPeace.com It has some stuff to keep you busy if you get bored! – Kary

Smiley Chocolate Chip Pancakes and fruit

I made it for breakfast for my husband. I thought it turned out pretty cute.

Worked on website all for nothin’

SO I spent many many hours working on my website and deciding how to set it up. Once I get all done with it, my husband points out things that other popular websites have (as far as setup and pages) and now I am starting over from scratch. On top of that, I found a few more errors when glancing at my book. I’m wondering if it will need another edit before sending to the publishers. This is terrible because I don’t have time for all this before the craft fair! I guess all I can do is try my best to work time-efficiently and get everything right this time around so I don’t waste so many hours of my precious time doing something that won’t work anyway. Happy weekend all! Website link coming soon! -Kary

Websites that help people around the world? p

Does anyone know of a website that helps others around the world? I love www.freerice.com – you can learn and feed starving people in other countries (for FREE). If you know of any other sites PLEASE let me know! I have a page on my website that I want to add them too. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!! -Kary
