Yellow Makes Me Happy

So good it only took me a day...

Have you read this book?  It was the book selected for my book club this month.  I was so busy with Christmas and everything, that I put it off until the last minute.  I tell you what, it was so GOOD!  I loved every page.  It is written in the format of letters between the characters in the book.  The setting was just after World War II in London and the Channel Islands.  I used to be so interested in any book that was during or around WWII when I was in middle school and high school, like The Upstairs Room, The Journey Back and of course The Diary of Anne Frank (Typepad is currently freaking out and I can't get the italics to turn off!)  That period of time was so life altering, but it really brought people together, they took care of each other, and I love that... I want that!

If you have a chance, read it!  I promise you will love it!

ALSO I AM HAVING A MINOR FREAK OUT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT IS SNOWING AGAIN, AND I REALLY NEED MY CHILDREN TO GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!  IT'S BEEN A REALLY LONG CHRISTMAS BREAK!

Oh Martha...

Why am I continually sucked into everything Martha Stewart has to offer?  It's true that her craft stuff put out by EK Success is awesome.  However, her magazine always seems to be repeats from past issues or stuff so complicated that I wouldn't even try.  Yet everytime there is a new issue up by the checkstand I reach for it with joy!

  There she is...  I was suprised by this issue.  There were actually a lot of things that I really liked!  Things I am really going to try...  I let you know who they will turn out!

I also made another little card today.  We are making some cards at my Wednesday women's bible study that I go to while the kids are at AWANA.  The cards are going to be given to ladies that are "shut ins" but like to communicate through mail.  While I am not an A Muse instructor, I made A Muse card designs to teach these women!  Cool, huh?

I tried to take a better picture of this because I used my new Scor-Pal and there is a score line above and below the vintage paper.  I like it!  Images and paper by A Muse...
