Book Review: Echo in the Bone

After a whole month I finished the last book in the Outlander Series. I wanted to read all the time, but with work being busy I was only getting to read at night. Most of you already know, but this is my all time most favorite series EVER! This is book 7 and the author is currently working on Book 8 (there are also hints that there might be a book 9 even) This book finds Jamie and Claire headed back to Scotland to get Jamie's printing press, but they get a little side tracked and end up smack dab in the middle of the American Revolution. Bree and Roger are back in their own time, but strugling to fit in as well as some major cliff hangers for them at the end of this book. Sweet Young Ian has found Love and I look forward to see where his story goes in book 8.
After reading all 7 books I really wanted to reread all of them, but it took me almost 5 months read all of them and there are so many other books that I want to read as well. So I have downloaded the audio version of all 7 books and have started to listen to them! Listening to this story sure makes laundry, ironing and doing dishes more fun!! Well maybe not fun, but certainly bearable!! I am almost done with the 1st book and I have been listening in the scrapbook room as well. I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE, BUT I WILL SAY IT AGAIN-I highly recommend these books, some of the best writing you will ever come across.

At night when I go to be I read other books so there will still be other reviews coming.

Thinking of You

Did you have a great weekend? I sure did! I got lots of things done around the house and in the scraproom. I am working on somethings for June, but broke from that to make this card. I really like the flowers from the Card Word Puzzle stamp set, I like them because the can be colored. I love to color, it so relaxing. I used the watercolor pencils and the blending pen to color these. I finished it off with some brown bakers twine.

Project Life 2012: Week 16 & 17

 Both weeks are fairly simple. For Week 16 I focus on all the veggies and flowers coming up around my house and garden.

 Here you can see that I used some circle labels from the office supply to point out each plant.

 My album is starting to get thick, so for week 17 I focused on FLAT. I used only pictures, cards and labels.

Many Thanks Oval Card

I have a goal to use more of the shaped cards from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, and I mean the different shapes not my go to scalloped square that I love so very much! This is the oval card and I added the great flower from the Card Word Puzzle Stamp set. I can always use Thank you cards, so I added the many thanks from the same stamp set-check out the stamp here.

Note box

 

Look at this cute little note box! About a month ago I saw a video on Youtube(I can't seem to find the link, but will keep looking. A big thanks to the original poster) and the person covered a box just like this. I ran out to Micheal's right away a got one! The best part is that it only cost 55 cents from the clearance bin!!! What a deal!! 

I first painted the box with white paint and then covered it with pieces of vintage sewing pattern tissue paper. I added a few strips of boarder paper and some 3D Flowers. I cut the big yellow on the Cricut using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge and then add the cute little resin flowers!!

May is the Month of Pemberley

Celebrate,it's your Birthday! I am celebrating because it's May and that means Pemberley! I can't wait to show you all the things I have made with this paper pack. For starters, I love the new wooden shapes from CTMH, this butterfly is one of my favorites and look how well it takes ink!!
