Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!

Week 166!

Y’all, this girl is whupped! I took my youngest granddaughter shopping today. This was a two-fer. I take her shopping for her birthday (which was more than two months ago), but we were both busy. So, we combined back to school shopping with birthday shopping. I thought I was a marathon shopper, but this girl? This girl is like the Energizer Bunny©! We went from store to store to store. I was really surprised at how much brown was out for teenagers. And, I’m not talking the teen department of a store. I’m talking the stores geared toward teens. The biggest trend seemed to be brown with baby blue…a nice enough combination. But, it just surprised me to see that marketed to teens. She ended up with quite the haul, but this granny’s dogs are barking! For that reason, this is going to be an abbreviated WTJR! I promise to do two week’s worth of featured favorites next week. Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?

As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Sandi from Old New Green Redo.

I poked around and came up with a biography for Sandi because I couldn’t find one on her blog. I’m betting Cat or Lisa will. Anyway, this is about Sandi: Sandi is a retired potter/ceramicist, teacher, artist, floral designer, and entrepreneur!  She likes historical fiction writing, dolls, storytelling, dioramas, visual storytelling, gardening, crafts, arts, and DIY.  Historical movies that show her something she didn’t know are her favorites.  And, oh, be still my heart!  She loves the Bronte sisters and F. Scott Fitzgerald.  I really think we could be best friends because she also likes Phantom of the Opera and Neil Diamond! Please visit Sandi here, and tell her we sent you!
