Got the most perfect thing today! I won a custom crocheted cat purse by Kerri from @romancingthevote.com auction, and I’m just so thrilled! Her avo-cat-o from the listing was adorbs, but I wanted something a bit dressier, and what’s dressier than a tuxedo cat?! :) Look at how amazing this is! 😍😍

to be fair to us, we were unbelievably organized at every single part of this that we had done before. the problem with continuing to be better organized is it frees you up to do increasingly ridiculous things like "ship 1500 items from Bree's garage" LOL

Then yesterday I received my final item from @romancingthevote.com Look at this beautiful Luna Moth Book Box printed by the Whistle Crew and handpainted by Kit Rocha! It came with a surprise --two friends who are peering in to see what I've hidden in the box. 2/2

Gorgeous box shaped like a book with embossed luna moth and filigree. The interior drawer is slid out slightly. A tiny dragon is perched on one corner peering in while a vulture or turkey looks in from the side.

Also from @romancingthevote.com are novels from @kateelliottsff.bsky.social - "The Witch Roads," and from @carastoutauthor.bsky.social - "The Nightmare Keeper" and "A Knight Before Christmas!"

The novel "The Witch Roads" by Kate Elliott sits on a bookshelf with a floral card visible behind it along with other books on the shelf. The concert has a variety of enormous statue figures lining a path leading either to or from a looming fortress hazy in the light of either dawn or dusk. Two small figures stand on the road in the direct sunlight.

The novel "The Nightmare Keeper" by Vienna James sits on a bookshelf with a related bookmark visible, along with several other books behind the novel. The cover is an abstract symphony of reds and golds like miniature auroras at a diagonal, and bats flying by in the backdrop, a few outlined by the full moon.

The novel "A Knight Before Christmas" by Cara Stout sits on a bookshelf with a related bookmark visible, along with other books in the background. The cover has a young blond man leaning against the outline of a wall, holding an armored helmet under one arm and looking up the outlined tower at a young woman with black hair, a hand radio, and a clipboard smiling and looking away from the equally smiling young man. There might be a little smugness between one or both smiles. In the foreground is a Christmas tree decorated with lights and hearts, a few presents on the plaid weave fabric at its base. Opposite is a directors chair with a sword propped up against it.

Additionally from @romancingthevote.com is @darcyburkeauthor.bsky.social with "When the Viscount Seduces," @leannareneehieber.bsky.social with "Perilous Prophecy," @cathypegau.bsky.social with "The Demon Equilibrium," and if ewe know her you love her @rachelgrant.bsky.social with "Into the Storm!"

The novel "Rogue Rules: When the Viscount Seduces" by Darcy Burke sits on a bookshelf with a microfiber cleaning cloth, sticker, and pen also in view. The cloth and sticker both read, "Whatever happens in the carriage, stays in the carriage." This may or may not end up being someone's origin story later on. The cover focuses on a man and woman standing close with the woman's face partially hidden by the taller man's, and his hand digging gently into her arm as he's sliding her dress off her left shoulder. They're set against a green backdrop with a large flower and various leaves, and seem to be contemplating this moment they're having and where exactly it may lead.

The novel "Perilous Prophecy" by Leanna Renee Hieber sits on a shelf with various books visible in the background. The cover focuses on a Phoenix pendant hanging against a wooden window, beyond which the busy streets of Cairo at night can be seen filled with light, people, animals, and vehicles.

The novel "The Demon Equilibrium" by Cathy Pegau sits on a bookshelf with several book cover stickers, a patterned card, and a button that reads "Fight the Heteropatriarchy." The cover focuses on a shadowy male figure dressed like a man right out of a Wild West movie, eyes burning like coals and a handgun dangling from one hand by his side. Railroad tracks and dramatic geological features are highlighted by the light of sunset behind the figure, while a woman's face is superimposed over the clouds with an inquiring look over his left shoulder.

The novel "Into the Storm" by Rachel Grant sits on a bookshelf with stickers and a card off to the side and other books visible in the background. The cover is in dramatic blues and greens and black, with the effect of peering through water droplets on a pane of glass out over a dark wood. Rachel is phenomenal and bore up under all my baahd ewe jokes (if ewe know ewe know), and as a consequence we should all flock to purchase her novels and enjoy her words, from any of her novels in the Evidence: Under Fire series, to the Evidence series, to the Fiona Carver novels, to the Flashpoint series, or the standalones Grave Digger and Midnight Sun!
