Friends of Unity December Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity December Blog Hop. This month the theme is our favorite things.  The card I made encompasses two of my favorite things... books and coffee. The only thing missing from this picture is my cat. Those three things equal a perfect lazy day in my opinion!

My cup could contain coffee, cocoa, or tea. There is something about a warm beverage, a good book and no plans for the day to equal pure bliss. I colored the spines of my books in a rainbow because I will read just about anything you put in front of me. From romance to mystery to nonfiction... I am not a finicky reader, but I don't like to caught without a book. Waiting never bothers me as long as I have something to read. 


Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see their creations... Comment to be entered into my giveaway. I will announce the winner on next month's FOU blog. The winner from my November giveaway is Cindy Knickerbocker. Please contact me to claim your prize.
We are celebrating THREE years hopping, so look for all the giveaways and make sure to comment to win!
