Welcome to Creative Madness that Makes Me Myself! I am a young mama to a darling girl born in the summer of 2009 and so excited about all the new products out for Maternity, Baby and Family. I thoroughly test and review a varying array of products (family-friendly) and will include pictures and perhaps even video when available. My start was with books, but now I am branching out to let other mommies know what I love most!
Please email me if you are interested in having a review posted on Creative Madness and we can figure out what comes next. My reviews are guaranteed to be honest with positive thoughts even if my overall view is negative. I will not promise a glowing review for something that does not earn it, but I will always find the good within.
As an avid reader, I am happy to hear from authors and publicists about opportunities of books to read and review. My favorite genres are pretty wide open. I am less likely to review non-fiction unless it is a topic I am very interested in and I do not review erotica. At this time, except for special circumstances I do not except e-books for review. I do send an email with a direct link to the post to the publicist/author if available and almost always post my reviews also on Amazon, B&N, Borders (top 10 reviewer), CBD.com, Goodreads, Shelfari, PaperbackSwap, Christian Bookworm Reviews (sometimes also posts books that are not "Christian", and I also post fiction to Novel Reviews, and sometimes others to Shoutlife.
Disclaimer: All items received as test/sample/or review products will be kept. These will not be used as the giveaway item(s) or sent back.
I would also like to request, if you would like me to host a giveaway, that you mail out the prize as this may become very expensive on my part. I do not make money doing this so for me to ship out the winnings is costly! My goal is to promote what is best in my opinion and help others find it as well.

About Me/Contact Me

Hey! Welcome to my Creative Madness that Makes Me Myself! Young, married, and fully in love. I love to read all sorts of things, but mostly religious fiction novels as well as L.M. Montgomery books, etc. I grew up a lover of Anne of Green Gables books and films alike. My daddy and I are genealogists and my mama and I are sewing ladies. I've been cross stitching for about ten years, and two years new into quilting. IT IS A DEFINITE LOVE!

My enginerd husband and I live just east of Atlanta, Georgia where he does his engineer things and I read books, lots of books, and quilt, and sometimes cross stitch. I have always been a book-a-holic and ever since entering the book review world have completely fallen in head-over-hills and hope to never leave my little library. As an attempt to show my mother and sisters what I am up to I created Creative Madness where I post pictures of current quilt project and many many book reviews. I thrive on Historical Fiction, but love many others as well.

I have a background with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and an Associate of Science in pre-Nursing. As of August 2009, I am a SAHM to a perfect baby girl with bloggy-love referred to as AppleBlossom. We cloth diaper and plan to homeschool. My blog is open for guest reviews on various topics and in additional to book reviews, I am opening up to product reviews as well for various maternity/baby/family items that are completely worthwhile and need to be known!
