Starting tomorrow I took the challenge to write for 31 Days in the month of October.  Here is information about from the site Write31days.com 31 Days is an online writing challenge started by  home blogger, Myquillyn Smith (The Nester) , and now hosted by   Crystal Stine , where bloggers pick one topic and write a post on that topic every day in October. We all link up just once on day one (linky opens on the evening of October 1st) so that we can see all the topics and read the ones that most interest us. The linky will stay open through October 5th for late comers but will be closed after that.  To join in writing for 31 Days (#write31Days) simply sign up here . Then link up once between October 1 and October 5th and write a post every day in October. So starting on October 1st, I will be posting about my crazy life from the book I just read, my favorite recipe, scrapbooking, love of traveling and so much more.  Sign up for my blog ....grab a cup of coffee and take
