Welcome to the Friday Finds for 11-22-2024.

Greetings from snowy Wisconsin, where I’m celebrating my youngest grandson’s birthday and staying through Thanksgiving! To my friends in the USA, have a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. To everyone else, wishing you a cozy and joyful weekend ahead.

This week’s finds are packed with exciting recipes, book reviews, crafty creations, and a call for a cherished family recipe. Do you know a good Spanish Cream Pie recipe? I’d love to hear from you!

Don’t forget—I’m taking next week off to enjoy time with my family, but I’ll be back on December 6th with more finds. Until then, peace, love, and happy holidays!

💖 Gina

BBNYA is for everyone. This year, I have read excerpts and full books from nearly all fiction genres, from Middle-Grade to Adult and historical fiction to fantasy to romance to thrillers. It’s a beautiful way to discover new authors and promote Independent Authors who don’t have a large publishing firm to promote their work.
