I know, I know… I fell off the face of the earth this week. Between graduation, the last week of school for the youngest, revisions, company, etc… I didn’t update. I kept thinking about it, but never got it done.

But I had to share this today!!!

I spent yesterday with some GREAT writers. Nummy drinks, incredible food and inspiring company - it was FAB. I got home and there was a big box waiting…

My Writers Playground pals had sent me presents for selling. OMG I bawled, they are so sweet (the friends, although the presents are fab too).

A stunning purple fountain pen, engraved with my title and sold date. I hold it and my heart just melts- I will be able to sign my contract with it, booksignings, so many visions flashed through my head.

And… in addition to this incredible pen - the sweetest, cutest bear!!! She’s a Build-A-Bear (I’m addicted) in lingerie (for my story) and the sexiest little sandals (for my shoe fetish) wearing cute little silk panties (I admit it, I’m wierd, Build-A-Bear critters just demand undies) And best of all - she’s got a tie, which is a part of my story as well. Its such a sweet, symbolic and loving gift.

I love my Playmates… Thank you ladies!!!

Anna, Beth, Carla, Heather, Janice, Kath, Kimmi, Leslie, Lisa, Marlene, Mona, Renee, Sheila, Stacey, Tammy, Terri and Trish!!! You guys are the absolute bestest.
