 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 A toast to our fans and followers!

~   ~   ~

Hello all of my wonderful fans and followers!

I certainly hope this finds you celebrating the holidays

in your own special way.

As the season approaches, I'm going to be taking some time off.

The JLB Creatives regular weekly blog posts will return January 9, 2012

when we start off the New Year with an Author Splash

featuring Lorhainne Eckhart.

I'd like to extend my gratitude to those who have made the JLB Creatives Blog 

what it is today: that includes my fans, my followers, and those who

have Splashed and interviewed all year long.

So while I'm on holiday, please take the time to surf around by

visiting the different pages you'll find in the red title bar above.

Be sure to check out HIDDEN EARTH, as publication is drawing 

closer by the minute. We're very excited, and hope you'll find

Maycly - Volume 1 to be an enjoyable read when it 

hits the bookshelves - hot off the press in the near future.

You'll also find a recipe for Peppermint Cupcakes 

at the bottom of this post.

Please be sure and post a seasonal wish 

to not just me, but to all the JLB Creatives 

fans and followers.

A Florida style Christmas Tree

May you prosper 

and be blessed with good health

now and the whole year through!
