Blogging News
This past month has been quite wonderful, and even with the holidays I was still able to read up to my goals and find some great romances to read. This past month was pretty crazy with work, and getting ready for Christmas. I took a break from the blog for about ten days which was so nice to do. I only spent time on the blog with reviews…..I wanted to take time and space from everything else. I wanted a chance to recharge and renew myself for the upcoming year. And oh boy can you believe its year 2016…..because I can’t. Where did the time go. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!! I had so much fun. I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and part of the next day with my family. My sister got engaged, so that was fun news. We got to speak with my brother on skype, since he is on a religious mission right now and boy I almost don’t even recognize him anymore…he is so grown up. Christmas was such a fun day with family. It was a bitter sweet holiday, because more than likely it will be a long while before we are all back together for Christmas again. Myself and my one sister are leaving Utah for bigger and better things. My brother will probably end up going to Duke. But It was a blast being with my family, having fun and enjoying the time we had together. This is one of my favorite holidays, because its such a great family day for us. As for the blog, I have been catching up on transferring reviews. I have most of them done, only a few months left of reviews to transfer over and hopefully I can get it completely finished over the next month. I did change my icon tags, let me know what you think of them.
Here are some of the coloring pages that I have been able to do and what fun they were. They are a bit bigger, because if I put them smaller they appear blurry. So hope you enjoy. Do you folks like coloring too?

You had a great month! And I wish you good luck on your quest to something bigger and better than Utah. Happy New Year!
Thank you hun!!! It was a great month. And I have big hopes for this year *crossing fingers*. Happy New Year To you as well.
Some nice picks for your favorites this month. I only read Healing Eden and enjoyed it. I did not read that much last month. I’m a bad girl. Ha!
Very pretty! I really enjoy the sea themed pages you did.
Happy new year!
Glad your Christmas blog break and time with family was special, Renee! You’re so talented with the coloring. I love the soothing colors and scenes you did.
Happy New Year!
Boy did you do a lot of things. I love the coloring pages that you did. I love those Johanna Basford books.

ohmygosh adult coloring books!!! <3 I mostly do the mandalas and abstracty/pasiley coloring books 🙂 I absolutely love doing them when I'm "watching" TV LOL
I am glad to hear you had a great christmas, must be fun to be together with your whole family. We had a big christmas with most of the family and the fmaily from my mom her husband her side, so it was pretty busy, but we had fun too.
Your colouring pages look so pretty! Make some want to get out my colouring books and get some colouring done too.
I like coloring, but I get stressed when I go outside the lines, lol
I have Secret Garden too! I haven’t done much coloring in the past few weeks because I’ve been busy and in a reading craze. I’ll probably get back into the habit once work starts back up again. I’m glad you were able to hang out with your family for the holidays and thinking good thoughts for you and your sister as you move away.
Glad you had a nice break. I could certainly be perfectly happy extending my break. lol. Hope you have a great 2016!
Those coloring books are so fun. Happy you got the break you needed. I took a blog break to be sick. lol.
More gorgeous coloring books! I haven’t gotten any coloring done in a few weeks, which makes me sad. Although I do keep eyeing the few coloring books that are on sale my job whenever I’m straightening up that aisle. They have Lost Ocean which looks soooo fun!
Your coloring pages are gorgeous girl! I love them! I have 5 coloring books at home. I really need to sit down with them. It looks like you had a great reading month too!
