I just had to post a close-up of this gorgeous notebook from @jenniferw88 - it‘s so me!

It‘s personalised with my name as well and I just love all the little comments on the squirrel - I *think* nervous scratchy cling things is my fave but I like the ‘abject terror‘ expression too!

It‘s perfect timing as I can use it in my new job!

TheNeverendingTBR Love this!! 😍 4y
TheNeverendingTBR Happy birthday!! 💫 4y
Sace I love this! I can't even begin to pick a favorite. It's all so accurate! 😂 4y

squirrelbrain I did OK with timing the UK / Europe ones to arrive on the same day didn‘t I @barbarabb?! I gave the US and others at least a week‘s head start but that didn‘t work @Cinfhen! 4y
TrishB @squirrelbrain haven‘t even written any! So overwhelmed with work that I just can‘t be bothered when I get in!! Maybe this weekend! I‘ve actually had the cards for like forever too 😁 4y
Cinfhen If mine arrive before January it‘ll be a Hanukkah miracle @squirrelbrain 😘 4y
TrishB @Cinfhen they definitely take the scenic route to you! 4y
Cinfhen Hahaha 😂 (edited) 4y
squirrelbrain Don‘t stress too much about it Trish. I wrote nearly 100 on Fri / Sat (for my MiL as well as my own) and then ended up all squirrelly / stressy on Sunday...! That‘s not all Xmas card related of course; like you work doesn‘t help... 😬 4y
TrishB @squirrelbrain 😘 after a certain point I just don‘t bother. My problem is I have two perfect sisters who never shut up about Christmas and have everything sorted weeks in advance....needless to say they don‘t work.... 4y
squirrelbrain Oh no, that sounds rather intimidating @TrishB #XmasWarz 4y
Suet624 Oh, they‘re really sweet! 4y
youneverarrived Mine arrived yesterday too Helen @squirrelbrain thank you so much 😘😘 the stickers are fab!! 4y
squirrelbrain Glad you like them Katie! @youneverarrived 4y

Oh my what a busy and fun day! I did a lot of driving and listened to a lot of my audiobook 😁 I headed out of town for a quarterly Trader Joe's run along with a couple of other specialty food shops. CoreLife Eatery for lunch and other shopping in the towns I was in. Back home, a little autumn crafting and hints of autumn making their way in my house. Baby steps, I'm not ready to let go of summer yet lol 😅 Now for a glass of wine and my book 🍷📖

cariashley It‘s still officially summer!!!! (Clearly I‘m also having a hard time letting go 😆) 5y
TheHeartlandBookFairy @cariashley exactly! We've got a week left and it's near 80 with high humidity here right now. I've got the AC on. Hold the pumpkin spice and all that jazz 😂 lol However, some of the flowers were looking well past their prime and when I ran into Mum's at a good price today I capitulated 😁 5y

Prompt: #pumpkin #fallintoreading @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

So probably wondering with a prompt of pumpkin where's the pumpkin? That's what I'd like to know there were pumpkins then there were no pumpkins and I'm not saying this guy had anything to do with it but.....

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🤣🤣🤣 that‘s too funny!!! 5y

Had a fantastic day at #brlive y'all! Haven't been here much because I've been tied up helping the amazing @jennirl make it all happen. Find me and say hello! I'm the gal with the teal clipboard and I'm moderating the Future What Now panel in the afternoon!

Four days later and he's still wearing most of his squirrel costume all day long. The tail was a bit too much to wear walking up the stairs so it was left in the car. Forever Halloween.

Cinfhen OMG, even cuter and sweeter the second time around 💞😂😁 7y
Notafraidofwords My niece is the same way. It was basically Halloween for a week in my house. 7y
BookishMarginalia Getting your money's --and his joy-- worth out of that costume! 👍🏼👏🏼 7y
Suet624 @BookishMarginalia, his mom made the costume so it was next to nothing. But the time it took to make? Priceless. 😁 7y
