Magnificent Fall Monday!

by 6 Comments

Hi Everyone!

It is Fall Break around here and I LOVE IT!!! I love going to the pumpkin patch, decorating for fall, and all the apple and pumpkin flavored everything there is!

Anyone else love Fall?

My daughter told me her favorite part of Halloween is going to see Ally and getting an apple with chocolate and caramel and mini  m&m’s. Did you know that Ally makes the BEST candied apples for Halloween?!?!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

xoxo,

Shellie

Hi Everyone!

In case you missed it, Ally blogged on Friday so go check it out here!

She talked about signing up for the newsletter if you haven’t already. I know some people where confused because the link sends you to her bio page but if you look at the side bar on that page there is a place to sign up!

 

With all the talk about See How They Run book 2 of the Embassy Row Series coming out on December 22 I have been thinking about the different Embassies around the world!

What embassy would you like to be a resident of, if even for a short time?

I think I would like to spend some time in the US Embassy in Milan, Italy!!! I have always wanted to go to Italy and to live there for a few weeks would be AMAZING!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Magnificent Tuesday!

Hi Everyone!

Well I am a day late on my Magnificent Monday post and if you noticed last Monday’s post I  had my dates all wrong!!!

This start of the school year has my whole family out of whack! Anyone else having a hard time getting back into the groove of things?

On the upside, there are so many fun things coming up this fall and winter! What are you looking forward to?

I will have a fun puzzle next week, I promise!

Hope everyone is having a better start to their week than I am!

P.S. Ally will pick the winner or winners of the Tumblr contest later this week!!! So fun!

Magnificent Ask Ally Monday

by 58 Comments

Hey Everyone!

Since we asked you questions last week, I thought this week we would let you ask the questions!

I will pick a handful of fun questions to have Ally answer.

For example, I know Ally likes to bake but I wonder what her favorite thing to bake is?!?!?!?

I think that will be my question! Ha!

So post your questions and I will get some answers!

Have a good week!

Magnificent Cryptogram Monday

by 19 Comments

Hey Everyone!

I thought I would give you a cryptogram to solve today! I haven’t posted one in a while and thought I would pull a quote from All Fall Down. Good Luck!

W FEX’V KMCX VE LMV WXVE VSENOUM.  VSENOUM HNTV TESV EJ JWXFT KM.

For those of you who have never solved a cryptogram puzzle before, the rules are simple… It is basically a secret code where different numbers, symbols, or in this case, letters, represent a different letter.

I will hold all comments with answers for 24hrs to give everyone a chance to solve the puzzle! I will approve comments that include tips, tricks, or encouragement!

xoxo,

Shellie
