Hi Everyone, I thought I would pop in and let you all know how I am doing so as things usually go they rarely turn out as planned and but my silver lining in losing my little fur Baby if there is one, I have seen a lot of Cardinals and Butterflies 🦋 even caught a Butterfly 🦋 to save it so I could let it go and fly away and visit someone else who needed cheering up and their spirits lifted up and as for me I am feeling better but not back to 100% quite yet but I would say I am probably at 95% right now give or take a few percentage points I have even started to to do some decluttering which I procrastinated on major big time.
I also thought I would update you on my writing and surprisingly I have written in the project I am working on now about 4 1/2 books are completed in the box se project I’m working on and not really sure how many books there will be but right now there is tentatively 6 and before that I completed like 3-4 books, so I have been a busy little girl. In all reality’s sake, it’s been really good therapy for me.
Well that is all for now and thanks again for your kindness and understanding.
About the above graphic although my Daisy Mae is no longer with me I will probably always use some graphic with her name on it or her picture so I hope you don’t mind.
I would like to thank everyone for their kindness after the loss of Daisy Mae whether you sent me a card or an email or commented on my post with kind words I want you to all know I appreciated it.
Since I am still mourning the loss of my fur baby and still recuperating from some health issues I will be taking a break from posting and try to get to your blogs as soon as I can.
MY NEWEST ADDITION TO MY NUTCRACKER FAMILY!!No No I didn’t go and get pregnant but I did at this cute Nutcracker to my Nutcracker Family. You see I collect Nutcrackers and this is my first drawing/painting of a Nutcracker. The above drawing/painting is by Carolina Russo an excellent artist and she even has her own blog and Etsy store. Another drawing Carolina Russo did for me is from to separate picture of my Cats Tigger & Daisy Mae. She took both pictures and then drew both Cats on an 8 x10 picture. She did an excellent job on this drawing as well. The picture of Tigger & Daisy Mae that Carolina Russo drew for me is below.DAISY MAE IS THE CAT LYING DOWN ON THE BED AND TIGGER IS THE CAT ON THE BED LOOKING AT THE CAMERA. PICTURE IS DRAWN BY CAROLINA RUSSO.
I was introduced to Carolina Russo through a contest actually and I was the lucky winner of that Drawing and it was beautiful. From there I liked her drawings and paintings so much I have bought several more for myself not just the two shown above and I have bought some as gifts too. This woman definitely has a gift and I should mention she does custom drawings where you ask her to draw something for you.
Some good links for Carolina Russo are to check out are:
When Love comes knocking don’t ignore it because you never know when Love comes for you and when it does it will take hold of you in ways that you never expected so do everything to hold onto that Love that has found you including fighting for it because all is fair in Love and War. Just because you don’t win the battle and the war right doesn’t mean you have lost but the exact opposite my friends. May True Love find you!!
I am so excited, I finally completed Crystal & The Big Dare By Her Hunky Next Door Neighbor… in which this book is not only a Romance book but a Second Chance Romance that has a lot of twists and turns in the plot to keep things interesting. Writing this book was fun, stress free and I had so much fun writing it and I think the main reason is I wrote my book from all the ideas in my mind, my imagination and my fantasies of how things might have turned out not to mention I got some of my ideas for this book from my life experiences too. Believe it or not but I always wondered what things would be like if things turned out the way you thought they should. You know what they say about Love, you may try to forget but the heart wants what the heart wants and I should mention this book is Fiction and any similarities are just that similarities.
I just started writing another book and I am hoping to have it done by December 31, 2023 but if not no big deal. I will tell you this book that I just started writing is about a girl who goes to college and gets a dual Doctorate Degree and as usual my ideas are from my imagination, wishful thinking and so much more. Still haven’t decided what the title for my my next book will be for sure.I finished my book on Jan. 23, 2023. I started another one on Jan. 26, 2023. We’ll see how that goes.
Hi everyone, Daisy Mae and I got a reply letter from Santa about what we asked for Christmas and here is what jolly old guy had to say. Santa’s letter read as such: Dear Crystal and Daisy Mae, I wanted you to know I received your letter and what you both want for Christmas, however I must say Crystal the things you are asking for well will take me longer than Christmas but I know you are good girl and won’t mind it is late coming if I’m able to get them but it will take multiple miracles. Daisy Mae on the other hand well finding her a catnip mat will be a lot easier. Best of luck on getting your things you want especially you Crystal.
I did it, I completed another book and this book is book #3 entitled Collision: The Good Girl And The Mean Girl and still deciding on a title for the Sequel which is going to be a murder/mystery/romance. I can’t believe that I finished 3 books in the year of 2022 and started a Sequel. Right now my title for the Sequel is: Princesses, Princes & Their Cowgirls & Cowboys & A Murder: The Sequel. Although the Sequel is still in the planning stages I am writing it as I see fit and as the words come to me.
From what I have researched, a sequel is supposed to be shorter than the book you just finished writing. Actually they suggest 300-800 words. I laugh at this mostly because when I write, I write a lot of words and being short is not in my nature if you know what I mean LOL… I guess we’ll see what happens.
Dear Santa, I’m writing you early because what I’m asking you for this year are big things so I want you to have enough to get started on. So what are the things I am asking for? Well Santa, I’m asking for: 1. An Engagement Ring on my left hand finger. 2. I’m asking to be married. 3. I’m asking to be published. 4 & 5. I’m asking for two more things that go along with what I’m asking for in 1. & 2. I hope you can get me one of these things because I have been hoping and praying for numbers 1 & 2 it seems all my life and want it more and more each day.

Daisy Mae’s Letter To Santa
Dear Santa, let me make it easy on you this year what I want is: 1. Give my Human Mom everything she asked for especially numbers 1 and 2 and everything that goes with that. 2. Some new catnip mats please.
Drakewe are very sorry to see you earned your wings to fly over the Rainbow Bridge this Morning (10-5-2022) but now God has a pet which makes him happy and although your Mommy, Daddy, Friends and siblings are sad your memories will always be cherished and loved. We love you Drake and Will Miss You.
Hello Everyone and thanks for stopping by, Today my Nephew turns 20 no more a teenager but now a college student and in a Fraternity. Also, I want to wish my baby Daisy Mae a very happy 16th birthday. I still remember the night my parents and I found her. They had just brought me home from work and as soon as you opened the car door, all you could hear was this very loud meowing which we of course followed and low and behold we found this beautiful very loud kitten with lungs like you would not believe that we guestimated was about 4 weeks old and fit in the palm of your hand. We fed her, gave her something to drink and a nice warm place to stay and it was funny in a way because her Mama who dropped her off kept coming around until she was sure her baby had found her loving furrever home. Daisy Mae’s Mama was a dark greyish and white Tummy. Daisy Mae’s Mamma had more white on her Belly than Daisy did. The funny thing is, is that my Dad said and I quote “No more pets in the house until Pigs fly”. Well let me tell you people, Pigs flew that night because it was Dad who insisted we bring her in the house despite the rest of us wanting to already bring her in. Living with all of Daisy Mae’s antics as well as through has been a journey of learning, exploration and of course fun. Now that Daisy Mae is a Super Senior Cat, she sleeps quite a bit but still gets her exercise. Below is a gallery of pictures that shows Daisy Mae in her 3 stages of life — Kitten(top 2 pictures), midlife(picture on 2nd row left hand side) and Super Senior(picture on right hand side in second row).

Double accomplishment and I can’t believe I did it but I did, you see not only have I completed one book in 2022 but two and started a third. Book 1 which is entitled When Love, Murder & Rejection Collide. Book 2 is entitled The Miracle Of True Love Finally Hits The Bulls Eye. I can’t tell you how happy and thrilled I am of these two accomplishments now to figure out a title for book three. I have several title possibilities but the one I’m leaning towards is Power VS. Love… Which One Wins Out? What do you think.
When I was writing Book 2, I had a pretty good idea what type of book I wanted it to be but guess what Yepers that is right my characters took over and they had other ideas so Book 2 ended up steamier and hotter than I’d planned but I kept the swearing out of it. Also you all should know, I had fun no a blast writing Book 2 this way.
I need some help with a title for Book 3 and any suggestions put in the comments. Below is a little about the book.
I would like the book to be about a power hungry bully who tries to split up the main two characters who are Queen Diann and King Sphen, Queen Diann has always been Royalty but King Sphen well… he is a poor old Ranch Hand that was in Queen Diann’s Senior Class helped the head bully bully Queen Diann but since then Queen Diann has forgiven him and they by chance see one another again and he realizes he’s always been in love with her but this doesn’t sit well the power hungry bully who does everything in her power to split them up including spreading lies and lying to Queen Diann’s husband about her where about, what she’s been doing and her past.

First Off, when you’re thinking about bringing another pet into your family, there are several important suggestions/pointers I have about doing that. So what are they you ask? Below are a few I have and you may be able to think of some others too. Now on to those pointers/suggestions.
Point #1: Always consider where you’re living – Are you in an apartment, Pet friendly apartment or a house?
Point #2: When you think you’ve made a decision but you have a family, always take your idea to the family. In other words, call a family meeting and tell them what you want to do then talk it over as a family and let the children know that their ideas will be considered.
Point #3: When you’re decision has been made to get a pet, now the next part you want to talk with the family is what kind of pet do you want? Do you want a Cat, A Dog, A Bunny, A Feathered, etc… Whatever pet you decide on, you have to decide on a small, medium or large, make sure you’ll be able to:
a. you’ll have enough time to care of your new pet.
b. make sure you can take care of a new pet.
c. make sure you can afford a new pet. Pets are and can be expensive.
d. Always make sure your new pet has room to exercise and play.
e. Always make sure your all your pets have lots of love.
Point #4 & 5: Once you decided on what type of pet you want: Cat, Dog, etc…, now it’s time to go to local rescue/adoption shelter for pets. Most shelters have animals that make great pets. However, be very, very careful of those places that bring animals into malls and places like that. Ask plenty of questions like you would at a shelter. If the people can’t answer your questions and you know more about taking care of that pet than they do then walk away. Don’t get yourself into a situation where it ends in a catastrophe. Let me give you an example that actually happened to my family and I. We had just lost one cat and my family and I had finally decided to get another Cat. The only thing was, we decided we wanted a Kitten not a full grown Cat. Well being at the mall practically daily since I worked at a store in the mall I would walk down, there were animals that could be adopted. We adopted a kitten. Watch out for red flags. Examples of red flags are: a. You know more than the people trying to get you to adopt the animals. b. When the people argue with you and don’t listen to you. c.If they try to act like they know more than what they do it’s time to walk away. d. Another red flag is when the person tells you if the Cat dies within a week to let them know. Just to let you all know my family encountered this situation and sadly the cat we adopted only lived a week. She was to young to be flea dipped and we tried to tell the people she was to young they didn’t listen. I named her Cutie Pie. Cutie Pie only lived a week before earning her wings and flying to the Rainbow Bridge and beyond. This was quite some time ago but ended tragically.
So the moral is when you decide to get a pet, always start by making it a family decision & include the children, start by looking at a reputable animal shelter, always prepare for extra bills with your pets, Always look for red flags (hints that the people or animal isn’t reputable, always listen to that gut feeling that says something isn’t right because walking away is better than losing a pet in a weeks time (trust me I know) & if it seems to be good to be true it probably is.
Daisy Mae And I, we say always adopt and/or rescue a pet first but some would say getting a pet from a breeder is like rescuing a pet because the pets are not used like the breeder wants them to be they have become part of someone’s forever family.

Angel Tigger’s Letter To Santa Paws

I have so many blessings I’m thankful for and I’ve been a very good girl this year. Santa Paws, I would really like a 5 or better yet 6-shelf bookcase that’s wide so I can put my library of books in and I would like some more books too. I love to read. Some other things I’d like Santa Paws is, to get my Dad back to where he was before he got really sick. I’m grateful he’s recovered mostly but want him back the same way he was before COVID. Also, I would like you to make my Mom better and to be able to get her strength back and be able to walk again that her autoimmune deficiency disease has just taken away from her.
Santa Paws, I believe in you and so does my Cat Daisy Mae.
