I enjoy doing crafty, creative things so when I told my aunt what I had planned for the hubby for Valentine's, she liked the idea and asked me to make one for her daughter. So here they are.... Candy Bouquets!!
Black Panther was AMAZING! I went to see it Friday afternoon with my hubby and I'm thinking about going to see it again, maybe during Spring Break. On another note this week has been draining and I'm tired all the time. I work until 2 am 5 days a week and every weekend with Friday being my only day off. My sleep pattern isn't like it should be, I have a hard time sleeping at night without waking up several times throughout.
Fun Facts about meI have 4 dogs. I know, that's a lot and it didn't happen intentionally but the hubby has wanted a dog since we got married. I always would say no but yep. We weren't supposed to get more and when we got to number three that was going to be it. Well, I got attached to number four and cried when my hubby told me he found someone willing to take her. Long story short he had to call them and tell them she wasn't going anywhere.

What's new with you? Did you discover any new books?
I love your book lineup. I want to get my hands on Honor Among Thieves. Love your doggies! They are adorable! Have a great week of reading!
ReplyDeleteMary #SundayRoundup
I just finished Honor Among Thieves and it was good. I'm ready for book 2. Thanks, they are a handful.
DeleteI saw Black Panther too, it was fun. And cute dog pics! You have 4? Wow, that's awesome though. The more the merrier. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of getting Honor Among thieves, the reviews I've seen so far have been god.
I want to see Black Panther again in 3D. My pups keep me on my toes for sure. Honor Among Thieves is a good, I'll be writing my review this week.
DeleteThe candy bouquets look great :) and the doggos are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, hubby has already eaten all the candy so far and my little cousin was thrilled that it was made and not bought. Thanks, they are my babies.
Delete4 dogs is a lot! They're all cute though. I did end up getting some new books this week, probably a few more than I should have, actually. :) Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteI know and he wants a German Shepard, sigh. I had to keep myself from getting more books. I have a stack at work that I need to check out.
DeleteYou dogs are adorable! We were the same way. People said he had a zoo because we had 3 cats, a dog, a tortoise, and fish. I just had a hard time saying no when there was an animal in need.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I couldn't say no to that sweet face. My mama had a fit though and she doesn't even live with us. They are my babies and she just has to get over it. :)
DeleteThe Candy Bouquets are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. Your new books look tempting, too. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm ready to start Sweet Black Waves but I have a few to get to before that. :)
DeleteI love your candy bouquet craft gift idea. Ah... we've had a passel of dogs and cats now and then. Yours are cuties. I still need to see Black Panther. Glad you really liked it.
ReplyDeleteNice little haul of books. Honor Among Thieves keeps catching my eye.
Have a great week, Cricket!
Thanks! I had the same feel about Honor Among Thieves, so many talking about it, so I decided to give a go.
DeleteOh, I've heard many good things about Black Panther. I think I want to go see it, since I love the actress who plays Michonne on The Walking Dead. I think she's awesome! Gorgeous dogs! I'm not a pet lover but your dogs are nice.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the diversity blog hop is all about but I will check it out. I've entered so many giveaways this past year but haven't won anything. I wish I could win a goodreads giveaway because they have some good ones. Anyway...My Sunday Post and, My STS
I won one goodreads book and they seem so hard to win with so many people requesting them. I hope you join the Diversity hop. Thanks
DeleteI would like one of those candy bouquets. They look WAY yummier than the flower kind. Your dogs are very cute. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks, my husband thought so too since he's eaten all the candy. :)
DeleteThis was one of those weeks when I didn't discover any new books! I love the pics of your fur babies :) I don't know how I could handle four pups in the house. We have one and he's a handful enough, although I wonder if he'd be slightly better behaved if he had a pal to play with :)
ReplyDeleteOh they keep each other entertained but they also like to be up under me and the hubby. Fighting over toys is a such a joy for them not me.
DeleteYour dogs are adorable! I have 3 dogs and we get a lot of weird looks because of it. I would probably have more but it is against the local code to have more than 3 in my area. Your candy bouquets are awesome! What a great idea. I hope you enjoy your new books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, they are sweet babies. It was supposed to be 3 but I love them all.
DeleteThose candy bouquets are gorgeous. And your pups are so sweet. I had 2 cats, 7 guinea pigs, 2 birds and 2 dogs when I moved into my new home. I now just have my dog, Quigley. All lived way longer than I could have hoped for.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday Post
Thanks, they keep me busy that for sure. I enjoyed making the bouquets and was fun to see how much they loved them.
DeleteThat candy bouquet looks delicious! I totally want one now.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about Honor Among Thieves, but I'm hesitant. The authors haven't written books that I've enjoyed. I might check it out from the library to see if I like it. I hope you love it, though. :)
Thanks for visiting Shell's Stories!
This was the first book by the authors I've read. It was an okay read. I like the concept and want to read the next book. Thanks
DeleteOh my goodness, your Candy Bouquets are wonderful. They are such a great gift idea. Your fur babies are so adorable. We had three at one time, our older dog Jake passed away about six months ago. Hopefully you'll get some sleep, it's hard working the late and then trying to adjust. My daughter also works until 2 am, and she also has sleeping troubles. Enjoy all your new reads this week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, the night shift isn't for those that need normal sleep. My summer schedule flips to earlier for 2 months then back to 2 am. Sorry for you loss, I don't what I'll do if something happened to them.
DeleteThos candy bouquets are so cute! I will definitely make some for my friends - I missed V-Day, but any day is good for a candy bouquet, right?
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to rest this weekend. Your dogs are adorable!
Thanks, this weekend I was able to relax a little for a few hours.
DeleteYour candy bouquets are cute and so are your pups! I just read Honor Among Thieves and really enjoyed it so I hope you'll enjoy it too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I liked Honor Among Thieves and I'm ready to see what happens next.
DeleteAwww, lovely doggy pics. <3 And I love the candy bouquets!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteThose candy bouquets are awesome. Nice job! Your dogs are so cute. I don't know how you take care of 4 dogs and manage your work schedule, but they are so cute and probably a lot of fun. I am pretty excited to read the new Elkeles. I have recently started on her backlist, and so far, am pleased.
ReplyDeleteIt's a task but me and the hubby balance out time with them around our schedules. I've read a few books by Elkeles and liked them so I'm hoping this one is a good one.
DeleteSweet Black Waves has a great cover! I have one dog, a basset hound who loves attention. You're dogs look adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe cover was what caught my attention first and then the synopsis reeled me in. Thanks they have some entertaining personalities.
DeleteI'm so glad you loved The Black Panther. I'm so excited to see it and all I can say is it's about time. Thanks so much for sharing pup pictures. You can probably tell if you've visited my blog that I'm pup obsessed. Your bouquets are AWESOME! Such talent!
ReplyDeleteI agree it was a great cinematic experience that was a long time coming. Thank you!
DeleteThe candy bouquets are adorable! They look great! Your work schedule sounds horrible. I can see why you're exhausted. Hopefully you'll be able to get a break. I understand about the dog situation. How could you not keep her? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt is horrible, lol but I manage for now. Spring Break in 3 weeks and I'm counting down. Not when I saw that sweet face, it was over for me from there and my heart was touched.
DeleteThe candy bouquets are really neat! Your dogs are adorable! I can't imagine working like that. I hope you get some sleep soon. Enjoy your books and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, soon I will be able to have a break and I'm going to relax.
DeleteI have a big sweet tooth and I would LOVE to get one of these bouquets :) I have two dogs that I love to pieces. I just finished Honor and it was good.
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate and it took effort not to eat his candy :) They are the sweetest little pups. I hope to settle my thoughts and review it this week.
DeleteThose candy bouquets are wonderful! I haven't seen Black Panther yet. It looks good though. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks and it was good. I should've seen it in 3D.
DeleteAll those cute dogs! Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the books. They look great.
Thanks!
DeleteThe candy bouquet looks good! Enjoy the books and have a great week ahead. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They both loved them.
DeleteI like the look of Black Panther and I'm delighted that you enjoyed it so much. The dogs look adorable, but I'll bet they are also hard work - my daughter has two and that entails a lot of walking and cleaning up! Have a great week:)
ReplyDeleteThey take a lot of time but it's worth it. I only have one that is being stubborn about the potty training. Thanks.
DeleteYour schedule sounds brutal, Cricket! I hope it eases up for you! Glad to hear you loved Black Panther.
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are super cute! I'm sure they appreciate you taking them in even if you didn't plan on having four dogs. Bravo! :)
Thanks, the wore me out this morning. Let's just say I love nap time. :)
DeleteThese look fun hope you enjoy the treats and the reads ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI love the look of your new books, Cricket! I hope you'll enjoy them :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband always wanted a dog too... and for years, I said no (we have 4 children) and finally, two years ago I said yes. And now, all of a sudden, we have two...
Have a wonderful rest of the week and happy reading.
Lexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
I don't know what we will do when we start having children. Thanks!
DeleteThat's an awesome idea and your candy bouquets look great! I ahven't seen Black Panther yet, but I've been hearing a lot of good things about it. Sorry to hear your sleep pattern is a bit messed up :(. Your dogs look adorable! Have a great week!
ReplyDeletePeople are still talking about it. I know a few people that have seen more than once. My sleep has been like this since I started working nights 8 years ago, it just keeps getting worse. Thanks :)
