What Carly had to say on Friday, February 19th, 2010
Carly
Carly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.Email this author | All posts by Carly

Welcome Back! Guess you couldn’t get the warm weather to stay in your bags. Would love a chance to get a GC so many books and not enough money in the budget.

Great prize. I hope you had a wonderful trip.

Welcome back. Hope you had a wonderful time – although it’s hard to imagine any time spent on a beach anything less.

So very glad it’s Friday! It’s been a long year LOL.
Relaxing with some friends tomorrow. Hope you all have fun this weekend.

Welcome back!
I’ve never been to Aruba, but I’ve heard it’s beautiful. Wish I was there right now!!!
Comment
Aruba, wow! Maybe your memories will keep you warm – probably not! I am so ready for spring, but it’s still cold and we’ve got a couple feet of snow on the ground. We should really think about moving south!

Hey Carly, welcome back! Please count me in on the Amazon gift card.
Have a great Friday everyone!
