Nope. That’s not a fun title for a Perfect Picture Book Friday post.
I’m going to be realistic and call “Break!” right now. You know that’s like calling “Shotgun!” or “Last piece.” Well, maybe not. See, I’m not making sense. “Break!”
I’m in the middle of final projects — two complete websites — at this very minute. When I was testing a link, I realized I hadn’t posted my Perfect Picture Book Friday.
Instead, I’ll just share this:

Yep. I’m a winner!
I wrote 97 picture book ideas in November. This badge is a great prize, plus all those ideas.
Once my projects are complete, I will write my 12x draft, write a little holiday contest story, and write my goals for 2013. If all goes well with my final projects, I’ll have a real website and can mark that off my list. Of course, I’ll enjoy Christmas (we visit Santa on Saturday), family, and holiday treats.
Have a wonderful December and holiday season!

Congratulations! I was a winner, too. I’ve been busy posting about a Christmas PB each day this month until Dec. 24th. It’s been fun and really getting me in the mood for Christmas. If anyone wants, come over to my blog and take a look.
Stacy S. Jensen
I’ve been reading them. Just haven’t been commenting. Thanks for sharing them.

97 wow! That’s fantastic! And I can’t wait to see your new website. That’s something I ought to think about or at least buying my domain name. Where did you buy yours if you don’t mind me asking?
Stacy S. Jensen
Catherine, I bought my names through GoDaddy, because it was easy. I found a good article comparing all the companies recently. When I find it, I’ll send you a link.

Congratulations on accomplishing 2012 projects and best wishes on the finals. Yes, I want to see your websites too. May the Force be with you. 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
I’m still needing the force as I type this note — my break in between problem solving.
Coleen Patrick
Enjoy your break Stacy! Happy Holidays. 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Thanks Coleen.

Smart to take a break! How do you create a real website?? I want to revamp mine, but I’m technologically challenged. So, I just play with changing theme appearances. Am afraid I’ll loose everything. You’re brave.
Stacy S. Jensen
I’m doing it all from scratch and with software. Later I’ll figure out how to update a wordpress one. I’ll let you know.
Debbie Maxwell Allen
Congratulations, Stacy! That’s a ton of ideas. You were busy all November, and now December sounds full, too!

Stacy S. Jensen
Yes Debbie. Now to write them. Oh where did I put that extra time at?
Romelle Broas

Stacy S. Jensen
Thanks Romelle.
Lara Schiffbauer
I can’t wait to see your website! I bet it’s going to be super-cool! And you deserve a prize for coming up with 97 story ideas, going to school and being Mom and Wife extraordinaire! Have a great weekend and Christmas. 🙂
Stacy S. Jensen
Thanks Lara.

Hi Stacy
I havn’t stopped in for awhile but frequently read without commenting. I saw the post on how to expontentially increase your ideas, too. And that made me feel better. Congrats on your accomplishments. You deserve it. Have fun on your break and we’ll see you when you get back. I’m looking forward to reading your contest story. 🙂
