<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Steadfast-Heart-Brides-Seattle-Book-ebook/dp/B00MBTYELE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425048689&sr=8-1&keywords=Steadfast+Heart" target="_blank">"Steadfast Heart"</a> takes place in a time period where manners and being a lady are very important. A lot of the story takes place in a Bridal School, which I feel is a very interesting background. The first couple chapters really grabbed my attention and I read though them pretty fast. We are introduced to two friends, Lenore and Abrianna. They seem to me to be complete opposites and this is very intriguing to me. As I keep reading we begin to see more of Abrianna and less of Lenore. Lenore actually goes away and isn't in the story very much at all. This really throws me off, because as you know the back of the book list Lenore and Kolbein and love interests. I felt like the author focused too much on Abrianna and her story and I was so confused who the main characters were. I understand having other story-lines to compliment, but it just got to where I was no longer interested in Lenore. Abrianna was the stronger character and I was just dying to find out what she was doing. I don't want to give a lot of the story away, but there were a lot of things that happened that were just too unbelievable. <br />
<br />
Overall, I had to give it 2 stars. After the first 100 pages it no longer held my attention and I lost interest in the main characters. I like a romance that is realistic and has characters I can relate to. This just didn't do it for me. <br />

It has it all, twists and turns, romance, wonderfully written characters.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.23em;"><br /></span>

<div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
Abigail Foster is the practical daughter. She fears she will end up a spinster, especially as she has little dowry, and the one man she thought might marry her seems to have fallen for her younger, prettier sister.<br /><br />Facing financial ruin, Abigail and her father search for more affordable lodgings, until a strange solicitor arrives with an astounding offer: the use of a distant manor house abandoned for eighteen years. The Fosters journey to imposing Pembrooke Park and are startled to find it entombed as it was abruptly left: tea cups encrusted with dry tea, moth-eaten clothes in wardrobes, a doll's house left mid-play...<br /><br />The handsome local curate welcomes them, but though he and his family seem acquainted with the manor's past, the only information they offer is a stern warning: Beware trespassers drawn by rumors that Pembrooke Park contains a secret room filled with treasure.<br /><br />This catches Abigail's attention. Hoping to restore her family's finances--and her dowry--Abigail looks for this supposed treasure. But eerie sounds at night and footprints in the dust reveal she isn't the only one secretly searching the house.<br /><br />Then Abigail begins receiving anonymous letters, containing clues about the hidden room and startling discoveries about the past.<br /><br />As old friends and new foes come calling at Pembrooke Park, secrets come to light. Will Abigail find the treasure and love she seeks...or very real danger?</div>

The number one thing I liked about this book is the pace. I feel like every detail is thought through and it builds up to a perfect ending. When you are first introduced to Abigail, you can feel all of her emotions and relate to them. She goes through so many things as a young women and I remember and relate to all of them, for example first love and the need to please your parents. </div>

Klassen builds the setting up for the deserted mansion in such a way that you are completely there with her. There were several times I had to put the book down at night and wait till morning. </div>
<div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
Klassen did a great job of keeping you interested and guessing throughout the whole book. I have always been a romance reader, but the way Klassen writes I am almost more interested in the mystery of it then the romance part. Now that's a good writer! </div>
<div class="productDescriptionWrapper" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you like a good mystery then "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Pembrooke-Park-Julie-Klassen/dp/0764210718/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" target="_blank">The Secret of Pembrooke Park</a>" is the right book for you! I can't wait for more Klassen books!</div>

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my review.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"Tilly and Ruth, two formerly Amish sisters, are plagued by unresolved relationships when they reluctantly return to Lancaster County for their parents' landmark wedding anniversary. Since departing their Plain upbringing, Tilly has married an Englisher, but Ruth remains single and hasn't entirely forgotten her failed courtship with her Amish beau."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is the first book by Beverly Lewis that I have read. I am not really in to Amish stories, but I thought I would give this a try. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> The thing that caught my attention first was the fact that the girls left the Plain life.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> I was very curious why they would leave, what had caused it. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We begin in the Autumn of 1977. The books pace is pretty good and it starts out by giving some background to where Tilly and Ruth are now. From the beginning there is so much mystery and I was really curious, but the book slows down and I just lost interest. I kept putting the book down and coming back to it days later. It just seems to take to long to get the answers you want. I really liked Ruth's storyline and was really curious about what would happen. I just couldn't connect with Tilly. </span></span><br />

I first read Sarah Loudin Thomas in “Appalachian Serenade” a
novella. I absolutely loved that story
and thought to myself, “I have a new author to read”. I loved that “Miracle in a Dry Season” was a
continuation from “Appalachian Serenade”.
I loved revisiting those characters again. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The author has a wonderful way of writing the characters
personalities. I felt like I really knew
these people and could easily relate to them throughout the story. I love a book that literally makes you feel
like you are there. Thomas has a way of
describing things that makes it easy to escape, for example from page 88, “The
beans, simple beans, melted in his mouth.
Perla must have used ham hock to give them their slightly smoky, savory
flavor. He could sense the shape of each
individual bean in his mouth just before they dissolved into deliciously creamy
mass.” Doesn't that bring back memories of
eating ham and beans? I can almost taste
them now. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Miracle in a Dry Season” touches on several things that
happen every day. Judgment of someone’s
character is so easy to do, yet we don’t think of the repercussions. I think the author does a great job touching
on this subject without it feeling too preachy. I love getting a feel for how Casewell feels
versus how Perla feels. Honestly, I could
relate to Perla, and the fact that she really didn’t feel like she deserved a
good man. Throughout the story Perla
believes she has gone too far from God for him to hear her. I really like how Thomas addresses this at
the end, through Casewell. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, “Miracle in a Dry Season” has a great flow to it
and really gets to the heart of the matter.
When you believe in the power of God’s forgiveness it can really change
how you look at people. I can’t wait to
read what is next from Sarah Loudin Thomas. <o:p></o:p></div>

Agatha and Zayne have a history that goes far back and when they run into each other again, they both decide the other one needs saving. Agatha is in hiding and Zayne doesn't want to be found. When the two collide again it makes for an interesting story. <br />
<br />
First, I must start out by saying that I had no clue this was a book in a series and feel that it could stand alone. There were characters that came in and out, but I didn't feel like any back story was really needed. <br />
There are many reasons I really enjoyed this story. One reason being that it had characters with spunk. There was always playfulness and silliness going on. I laughed aloud a few times. Another reason was it was a quick read, I had this book done in just a couple of nights of reading. <br />
<br />
Overall, "A Match of Wits" had playful banter, great descriptions, and great characters who were developed well. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a fun, light read. Jen Turano is an author I will be reading again for sure.<br />
<br />

I was so excited to get to work with it, but when it finally came I was a little out of my element. I am use to stamps and ink and I felt like an idiot trying to figure it all out. After a week or so I finally got the hang of it and I'm in LOVE! The possibilities are endless and you better believe I am going to make that machine work. :) Anyway off to my first successful project.<br />

I kept the card pretty simple, so the bow would shine. The stamp set is from the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/camelot-card-kit" target="_blank">Camelot Card kit </a>over at Studio Calico. I just love that banner and the font. </div>

Today I am sharing something a little different! My very first book review! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Kate Darby is taking a leave of absence to help take care of her
Grandmother Leona. After an accident she
meets Nick, a new Christian, who has made a promise to God he intends on
keeping. Leona, Kate's Grandmother is praying Kate will see God in every part
of her life and all that he has planned for Kate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Overall, "Until I Found You" is a very genuine story. Throughout the whole story I found myself
saying this is very realistic. My
favorite character from the very beginning was Leona. From the start any part she had in the
book felt real. Her parts were so
heartfelt and it almost felt like a different person wrote those parts. Even though Leona was suffering, she still
looked towards God for help and answers.
Leona wrote letters to Kate about her life to encourage and hopefully
lead Kate to God. The letters were truly
my favorite part of the book. She
described hardships and how she came through them and was still able to have a relationship
with God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">It was a little harder to relate to Kate, she was all business. Kate has had a lot of hardships like Leona,
but she doesn't have God to rely on.
This causes her to have trust issues and she seems a little dark at times. In a weird way I liked this because, it
seemed real to me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">Nick was a guy you would want around.
He is real and honest throughout about his feelings. He is an all-around good guy who knows that
Kate needs a relationship with God before they can be more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">“Until I Found You” had some slow spots and it was hard for me to relate to
the Condor parts of the book. Overall, I
really enjoyed it. I felt like the
characters came full circle and they were very realistic. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN">I was given a review copy of "Until I Found You" from Bethany House, a
division of Baker Publishing Group, in exchange for an honest review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I pulled out the Pretty Peonies and Polka Dots sets to help create my background. I used my Melon Berry ink pad to watercolor on the butterfly. While it was still wet I sprinkled it with some gold embossing powder and then used my heat tool to finish it off. </div>

Happy Thursday,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today, I am sharing some cards made with the new <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/awesome" target="_blank">#Awesome Set</a> by Lawn Fawn. When I first saw <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/awesome" target="_blank">this</a> set I knew I had to have it! I loved all the social media icons (great for teens), and I just had to have that little camera. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The camera speaks for itself, so I was able to keep the card pretty simple (my favorite CAS). To finish the card I just had to add the enamel dots. They fit so perfect in the lens.</div>

I set a goal for myself to participate in a challenge a week. This week I choose the<a href="http://aeiheartuchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/04/challenge-4water-color.html" target="_blank"> Avery Elle Challenge</a>. I love using water color, so this was fun! </div>

I decided to do a little ombre action with some green water color pencils. I really loved the lime green color so I decided to stick with the monochromatic look. I stamped the sketchy dots on acrylic, then cut it out to add a border. </div>

My sewing machine is on the fritz, so I have been using a lot of staples. I got to say I love it, so I used some staples to finish the card off. </div>

Hello, there ! I am here today sharing another card using some Avery Elle stamps. I love this little dot stamp that comes with <a href="http://www.averyelle.com/modern-leaves-clear-photopolymer-stamps/" target="_blank">Avery Elle's Mondern Leaves set</a>. In fact, I am always using it when I am layering stamped images. I was trying to think of a different ways to use it, and decided to create a polka dot background. I made very faint lines with pencil (I was a little nervous it wouldn't come off) and stamped the dots in <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/pm-ink/perfect-match-aqua-mist-inkpad/" target="_blank"><u>Papertrey Ink Aqua Mist</u></a>. Then, after erasing the marks, I started layering the card up a bit. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stamped the sentiment onto a Studio Calico wood veneer and added that enamel dot ( eek can't get enough of them!!) from my crafting stash.</div>

I love this set, because there are so many possibilities and ways to change it up, today I decided on some simple layering (which is my favorite thing to do these days).<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started out with a skinny card base (3 3/4 x 5 1/2 to be exact). I found the perfect color inspiration <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/181832903679694435/" target="_blank">here</a> on pinterest ( I love using just 3 colors on a card). Then using the <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/pti-dies/papertrey-ink-limitless-layers-1-3/4-circle-die-collection-set-of-5/" target="_blank">Limitless Layers</a> dies from Papertrey Ink, I created the circle cut out from Hero Arts Punch layering paper (LOVE this color). </div>

I am just popping in to share some cards I made recently with the <a href="http://www.sweetstampshop.com/too-hip/" target="_blank">"Too Hip"</a> stamp set from the Sweet Stamp Shop. I think after getting this set it spent about 2 weeks sitting on my desk and I pretty much used it every time I crafted! Love it! </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I seriously love these glasses! </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="text-align: center;">Going for a boy, girl look here. For the girl glasses I stamped </span><span style="text-align: center;">the top half, then I stamped the bottom again in black. I used a small post it to cover the stamp. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So, a little secret about me is that pretty much every card has a little mistake that I have to fix. Some how it makes it look way better anyway. So it works out for the better right? :) That's kind of what happened on this card. I was messing about with an <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamping/old-rose-chalk-edger" target="_blank">edger</a> ink thingy and it kind of went everywhere, so I chopped the card in half and then angled it on another card base. I try so hard to be careful, but I'm a little klutzy. Anyway, I really like how it turned out! </span></div>

Just popping in for a bit to share my bright and cheery SPRING card! A friend of mine had her baby today, so with that in mind I decided to make a baby card. </div>

I find myself saying the following a lot " this is my favorite Papertrey Ink Stamp", when in fact that is impossible! Every stamp set I pull out I love and today I pulled out Rosie Posie and found myself saying that phrase again! I forgot how great this set is, I only wish I had more time today to play ideas. The truth is I'm not completely happy with it. I was trying to balance helping my children finish a V-Day gift and the desire to really want to play along with this challenge. Anyway, what I really loved about the challenge was the challenge :) ! <br />
<br />
My Building Blocks were:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Dark Chocolate</li>
<li>Orange Zest</li>
<li>Aqua Mist</li>
<li>Kraft</li>
<li>congratulations</li>
<li>water coloring</li>
<li>glitter</li>
<li>seam binding</li>
</ol>
Now that's a lot more "building blocks" than I normally use, and Orange Zest isn't really a color I use a lot. Don't ask me why I have it, but turns out I like it paired with Rosie Posie!<br />
<br />
So here's my card, with some poor lighting! :)<br />

Today, I am sharing a couple baby cards I included in some gift sets for a couple friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I love this first card so much! I love the flair and that bow OH MY! I love bows! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's also 98% Studio Calico kit material (cardstock is Papertrey Ink)! </div>

The blue ink is<a href="http://shop.heroarts.com/p/pool-shadow-ink-mid-tone" target="_blank"> Pool</a> from Hero Arts and I look for a reason to use it on any card, it is just the perfect mid-tone color to pair with the darker blue. I love blue and it seems to make an appearance on a lot of cards.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Look at those flowers! I LOVE them! The patterned paper is part of the <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/american-crafts/144287-dear-lizzy-polka-dot-party-6-x-6-paper-pad/" target="_blank">Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Parade</a>.</div>

<br />
Just popping in to share my card using a FREE image from <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2014/02/2014-designers-our-annual-free-printables.html" target="_blank">Papertrey Ink</a>. I love these free images every year! Today I chose <a href="http://scrapbookgirl.typepad.com/paper_scissors_and_superh/" target="_blank">Betsy Veldman's</a> image, I was really drawn to her colors and also that fancy lettering! I kept it pretty simple, I stamped <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/stamps/background-basics-chevron-stripes-stamp-set/" target="_blank">Chevron Stripes</a> in Aqua Mist and then added the enamel dots from <a href="http://mymindseye.typepad.com/blog/2013/04/welcome-back-to-the-second-day-of-our-big-reveal-t-today-we-have-something-you-are-going-to-be-super-excited-about-would-y.html" target="_blank">My Mind's Eye</a>.<br />

<br />
I always get very excited when February comes along and the <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/" target="_blank">Papertrey </a>Festivities start. This time of month I literally get a cup of coffee in the morning and check out Nichole's Blog first thing. But with the Anniversary comes challenges, I LOVE the challenges so much, my husband even knows not to schedule anything, because I have PLANS!<br />
<br />
Anyway here we go with the first challenge,<br />
<br />

I took a paper lunch bag, cut the end off, folded the bottom over, then did a little sewing and bam a new look! It was perfect for fitting five cards and five envelopes in. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have seriously been needing to go through my paper scraps. My storage bin is overflowing right now. As I was digging through it the other day I came across some <a href="http://sassafras.typepad.com/sassafras/2011/04/product-spotlight-ellies-tale.html" target="_blank">Ellie's Tale</a> paper by Sassafras. Such a cute set, that I have been sitting on way to long. I added some ribbon from a <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/double-scoop-card-kit" target="_blank">Studio Calico</a> kit (Mays Art) and BAM! I was done! </div>

Hello there,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I'm stopping in to share a little ole' card I put together using a combination of Studio Calico kits. </div>

I did a little something different with the washi tape. It is a little see through, so I decided to do some random coloring underneath before attaching the tape. I started by marking out the width of the tape and then just scribbled away with my markers.</div>
