Gracie Lee’s Anniversary and a fab GIVEAWAY!

January 26, 2017 By Talya Tate Boerner

Gracie Lee's Anniversary! One year later...

It’s Gracie Lee’s anniversary!

Today marks the one year anniversary of the release of The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee. To those of you who are still with me on this journey (and if you’re reading, I suppose you are), a humongous thank you all the way from the bottom of my heart.

Gracie Lee Anniversary

No really.

THANK YOU.

On Gracie Lee’s anniversary, the book is selling well and may even be picking up steam. That’s a cool thing, especially for a first-time author one year later. And I have you to thank for it. Because when you tell a friend about it or write a review or post something on Facebook, the buzz builds little by little.

Of course, we must celebrate. Right?

Celebrate = cool GIVEAWAY! (Woodworx Workshop is sponsoring this giveaway, but all opinions are my own.)

But first, a few thoughts on the year.

One year later, I have lots to say about the experience. Continue Reading

Sister Schubert Giveaway!

Sister Schubert Giveaway Hey everyone, how about we get December started with a Sister Schubert Giveaway! I met Sister Schubert back in early September when she spoke at the Arkansas Women Bloggers’ Megaphone Summit. I’m here to tell you that Sister Schubert is the real deal—just like her famous rolls which have enjoyed a place at our holiday table for years and years. Truth: some of us can bake homemade bread, and some of us {me} leave it to the experts.

At our conference, Sister jumped right in at Foodie Friday and whipped up a batch of her cinnamon bread pudding. Foodie Friday is all about food, and this recipe fit the bill for sure. So rich and decadent!

Sister Schubert's cinnamon bread pudding!

We served the bread pudding in tiny servings, pretended not to eat much, then went back for more servings. And even more servings. That’s how that went.Continue Reading
