Celebrate the small things and Spooktoberfest announcement

Celebrate the Small Things is the fun weekly meme hosted by Viklit @ Scribblings of an Aspiring Author, where we share things we wish to celebrate, and then hop around to other bloggers to rejoice in their celebrations, too. :) Go HERE to sign up and join the celebration!

My celebrations: 

• Christine Rains has a cover reveal to share. You can check it out at her site HERE or at Cover Girls HERE, and I'll be posting her reveal this weekend as well. Congrats, Christine!!! 
• Dani and I are announcing our blogfest today! You can learn more about Spooktoberfest below.
• I went to a flower show this week and learned some cool stuff to utilize in the shop. I'm so excited to make new things!
• Went to the movies and a walk n' talk with my BFF. <3
