Many moons ago, I used to chase down possible affiliate opportunities for The Twilight Awards. It was during that time I stumbled upon Dreamy Blog Designs and fell head over heels in swoon with Danny. We soon discovered how much we love books, and while fighting over right to Jericho Z. Barrons‘s heart, we forged a bond. (P.S. I won Barrons, just don’t tell Danny I told you. ;)

Danny book blogs over at Bewitched Bookworms. And it is easy to see that those girls have loads of fun. So, let’s check out what Danny is up to when she is not reading.

Bewitched Bookworms

First of all I want to thank Missie for inviting me to this awesome feature. Missie and me started Book blogging around the same time but we actually meet through Twilight. Yes.. there I said it… I’m a Twilight lover!

But, coming back to the topic of this post What I’m doing when I’m not reading? I guess listening to audiobooks doesn’t count here, huh? Honestly, I spend a lot of my free time online. Love to chat with my girls from the Bookworms and since we have a huge time difference it’s not always that easy to meet them to have a chat . I also love all things Mac – I’m not a real Computer nerd but I love love LOVE my shiny silver thingys.

So I spend lot’s of time on my Mac, iPad or my iPhone and you barely see me without any of them. My friends like to laugh at me for this… but.. who cares? I don’t!

Well, and then there is a hobby that I just recently (a year ago) discovered and ever since takes a lot of my free time. I design blogs and for the first time ever I have an creative hobby! I’ve never been a creative mind (ask my art teacher from school…) so I was surprised by myself when I found out that designing blogs is something super fun. At the beginning I just designed my own *cough* Twilight blog and the blogs for my girls. Actually my first projects were the blogs for my fellow Bookworms – they trusted me enough to design their own private blogs. Can I love them any more??

Dreamy Blog Designs

Designing blogs is challenging, rewarding and nerve wrecking;). But in the end nothing is better than a client that tells you over and over how happy they are with their blogs and this is the best!!

My favorite blogs I designed are Nely’s from All about {n} and Donna’s Bites. They are completely different styles but I love them both so much that I was sad when I had to install them on their blogs instead of just keeping them for myself. :)

Of course I also love to watch TV, be it a good show like “True Blood”, “Vampire Diaries” or movies. I have even this awesome TB poster as a wallpaper on my computer.. When hubs is not there I do ridiculous things like watching an entire season in one weekend! I love those times! Among the recent shows I enjoyed in a marathon were: “Pretty Little Liars” – this show is awesomeness!!!! Can’t wait for it to start again. I’m also obsessed with “Heroes” and for some reasons “Friday Night Lights”.

Bring it to the point I’m mostly an indoor girl… apart from the time when hubs and me travel around the world. Sadly, I didn’t really had time this last year for this. I seriously try to finish my PhD, but unfortunately it didn’t work out this year. Normally, hubs and me fly somewhere at least three times a year and once a year we have to spend some relaxing time in Thailand.

Oh I adore this country! So soooo much! Our biggest wish is to buy a house in Thailand and maybe spend our Retirement there. ´..*insert big dreamy sigh here*

I’m lucky enough to have a husband that loves to travel and often a year he’s flying alone – my job doesn’t allow me to fly with him so often. But due to this I had the opportunity to visit already some great places around the world….

Thanks so much Missie for including me in this.


Many thanks to Danny for coming on and making my day a little brighter! I love swooning over sparkly vamps and mysterious men with her.

Oh and hun, about this Barrons thing. I think you got it wrong, at least my Blog says something different.

I'm sorry for you, I really am.

But…

Barrons is mine!

I am a twilight lover as well. In fact that is how I got into reading again. I was on bed rest due to my pregnancy, and my mom brought me the twilight books. I told her that I did not want to read and she said just do it since I'm in bed all day. I read all 4 books in one week. After that I started to read more. Two years later, I started my blog. And to be relaxing in Thailand sounds great!!

Oh hooray it's Danny! I lurrrv Danny – she's awesome! I knew about her creative outlet.. (ahem) you just have to check out my amazing blog to see that, but I didn't know she was a globe trotter as well. Wow, Thailand (le sigh) now that is a goal. I too love all things relating to sparkly vampires and mysterious men with fangs… look at my new obsession (which coincidentally I must also blame Danny for) BONES! <3

Two of my favorite bloggers on one post: Missie & Danny :) Woohoo!

And who doesn't love Danny?! She is such a doll and so very talented!! Keep an eye out for Book ♥ Soulmates 2011 *wink* – Danny & I are gonna cook up something spectacular! *eek* so excited!

I was a Twilight junkie too and although I loved the series, I have since discovered so many more awesome vamp books! I love me some smexy fanged boys ;o)

It's so awesome that you and your hubbs get to travel so much. I feel like we're so isolated here in North America because it's pretty much the US, Canada and Caribbean we have access to. I bet Thailand is incredible (love Thai food) but it's just so dang far from here :( Last year, my hubbs & I went to England, Ireland and Scotland and I would go back in a heartbeat – no make that a nanosecond, just give me 20 minutes to pack! LMAO

Anyhoo – loved this post. It's so nice to get to know our fellow bloggers a little better.

Well, this convinced me. I'm a new follower of Bewitched Bookworms.
Mac, FTW!
Barrons… well, I hate to tell you ladies, but he was never on the market for either of you. He's mine and I've hidden him well. ;)
