Midnight Sun--Edward's view on hold indefinately!

This is for all of you who are fans of the Twilight series, and have possibly been anticipating the book Midnight Sun which is Edward's view of things. A partial draft of Midnight Sun was leaked on the Internet. Understandably, Stephenie Meyer is pretty upset and therefore, she is putting it on hold "indefinitely." Because she loves her fans so much, she doesn't want to "drive more people to look for the illegal posting" so, she linked it on her web site.
She said, "I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place."

So, if you would like to read the available 264 pages of Midnight Sun, go to http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html The attached draft is at the bottom of that post.

His poop doesn't stink!

Lately, Scotty has been asking to see his poopies when I'm changing his diaper. I'm hoping this is a step toward him going in the "big boy potty." This morning as I was changing his poopies, he asked to see it. I showed it to him and he said, "Ewwww, yucky." Then he took a big sniff and said, "Hmmm, smells good!"

I've had quite a few people tell me that I should make my diaper bags, burp clothes, hooded towels, etc. and sell them. Derrick really wants me to do it. I need a little input though. How many of you would purchase something like this--everything homemade? How much would you pay or how much do you think I should ask for them? What do you think would be the best way to get them out there? A blog with a paypal link? Word of mouth? Have people I know host "parties?" Take them to little boutiques? Etsy shop? I'm not sure the best way to do this or if it will work out. I think I need some input. PLEASE???? This is the last "diaper bag" that I made for my sister Suzi. But, I don't think it would have to be used for a diaper bag either. Do you think it would sell just as a fun bag?

I also made a burp cloth to match. I'm thinking of doing sets with the diaper bag, burp cloth, a small changing pad and a "Binkie bag" that attaches to the diaper bag---maybe even a nursing cover (like Hooter Hiders) to match. I'm looking for honest input and opinions. Please help me out!!!
