I have found out that Advertising is not a dirty word!

25 Nov

I have found out that simply writing a book and having it placed on websites and publishing sites does not necessarily sell books.  I am not just about selling books, but I want what I have written to be read!  I am not just an author, I am an artist, and an inspirational speaker, so in order for anyone to know this, I’ve realized that I need to get the word out there!  Below is an advertising special that I will hope that authors, businesses, ministers, artist, photographers etc will take advantage of because it is a great, inexpensive way to put your works in the public eye! The owner of The Lakeview Times is a very nice and honest person who will do people right.

Hey everyone, check out the following Christmas advertising specials.  If you  or someone you know are in any kind of business or ministry and need to advertise, The Lakeview Times is a great inexpensive way to do it.  This online paper is available nationwide so it can easily be seen by all of your friends, family, and associates that you’re trying to reach!  Greg is a super nice gentleman and can create an ad that suits you to a tee!  Check it out at the following link and tell Greg that you heard about the special from Christine. http://www.lakeviewtimes.com/images/Logo%20images/Holiday%20december%202012%20ad%20special.jpg

Fall is here and so are PUMPKIN ROLLS!

9 Nov

I suppose everyone has their traditions if you celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas…One of our family’s traditions is to bake pumpkin rolls!  The house smells wonderful with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla….the smells alone will cause your mouth to water!  Hope that as you celebrate  this year, that you have lots to be thankful for!

Nothing says “FALL” like Homemade Applebutter!

12 Oct

Because I was raised a little country girl in Kentucky, I have learned the value of a harvest.  There were Eight of us altogether sitting around my Momma’s table for three meals a day.  What labor my Mom put in each day to just prepare meals and to keep us all fed!  She taught each of us how to cook from scratch, but I remember all of the harvesting of our huge gardens each year and especially our fruit trees!  One of our favorite foods was my Mom’s homemade  applebutter.  There was nothing better to eat then a hot biscuit smothered in butter and lathered down with all of that fruity cinnamon applebutter goodness!  I could eat this for three meals  a day!  Well, my sweet Momma has gone to be with the Lord now, but she left me something that truly in this day is a lost art and such a gift.  I know how to cook from scratch, and make homemade Applebutter for my friends and my own family just like she had done!

Above is a picture of a quart of my applebutter! Not only is the contents delicious to eat, but it is beautiful in fall color and makes a gorgeous centerpiece for your table! Happy Fall Ya’ll!
