Girls—have I got a treat for you!!! I have to introduce you to Becky Thompson (Scissortail SILK), one of my all-time favorite bloggers to follow on Facebook! If you enjoy following me—you’ll LOVE following her. Becky’s content is always relevant, relatable, and charming. She’s the type of gal you will instantly like—from her big friendly smile to her casual and sweetly comical tone. I was so delighted last fall when I heard she was releasing her first book: “Hope Unfolding,” and I was even more thrilled to get an early release copy so I could write this review and sing her praises.
