Yep, I'm a big fan of books. I have a friend that has been trying to sell me on getting a Kindle. I can't explain it but I like the feel of the actual book in my hands. Turning the pages, dog-earring them and using a fun book marker. Oh, and when you're all done putting it neatly in the bookcase as your little accomplishment. My friends have asked me about some of my books and it's fun to loan them out and discuss them. 


Have you ever read a book that changed how you look at life? How you acted? Treated your family? I have...and I'm so thankful for the ability to read, learn and change.

I am coming along on this piece. Ive made a lot of progress on her dress but I still have work to do on the back (I plan to make it a lace up). When I ran across this purple patterned paper from K & Company I knew it was perfect for the dress.
