I'll be doing something. Not sure what.
I don't know if I'm in this month, but I LOVE the graphics, Dhes!
Thanks, Lisa Kay! I was having fun playing around with them. I love learning new things :)
Well, these are PERFECT for summer, LOL!
That's what I thought, too. I love the surfboards. The flipflops didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but I'm learning :)

Lethal, babe!!! It's so good to see you! *hugs*
I'm in Dhes! Since this is my birth day month (yes, I DO milk it that long to get prizes...Oooh..I mean presents *wink-wink*)
June 6th is D-Day, so I will read at least one military/Special-Ops Romance book around that time.
My ULTIMATE goal for this month will be 7 books.
I'm leaving myself open this month on my book selection because I didn't finish last months challenge (started Kaylea Cross's 'Suspense Series' and kinda got obsessed/lost in the books).
I love Special Ops stories, Lady H!and Happy Birthday Month to you!
My birthday is April 23rd, then my wedding anniversary is May 10th, and then Mother's Day is often the day before, the day of, or the day after my anniversary.
Soooooo, my family started calling April and May the High Holy Days in honor of me :)
Here's the start of mine...June Build Your Own Challenge- read books from my TBR pile including my monthly book club selection.

1. My Ántonia by Willa Cather ^
