Hello everyone and a warm welcome to all of you new blog followers. Thanks for stopping by!

In case you're wondering, Hot Off the Press is my new series that you'll be seeing on Thursdays. I'm happy to have lots of amazing giveaways to share with you this week!

Before we get to those, I'm wondering what you think of my new series, Alluring Artisans? There are so many wonderful Etsians that I can't wait to share with you, that I have decided that this series will not only appear on Tuesdays, but Thursdays too!

Lastly, I'm seriously considering moving to Arizona. I have long had a love for the west, and Arizona is one of my favorite places.

Can you imagine living in the same state as The Grand Canyon or even just a few hours drive?! Wow.

I've found a wonderful-looking little town outside of Phoenix called Goodyear. Anyone ever heard of it? Any of you out there in blog-land live in Arizona?

Of course it would be a huge, move for us considering we live in North Carolina, and always have, and all of our family lives here.

But this is our dream, and I know we can make it happen. It feels so good to have a hope, a dream, a plan. Now, to focus on school (nursing for me) and the husband is talking about becoming a firefighter. Our dream may come true sooner than I had hoped!!

Arizona or bust!
