Heelarious Baby Shoes

While visiting my favorite photography blog

I came across the cutest baby shoes i have ever seen!
You must go check them out over at Heelarious

We are up and Running

Finally the Comcast guy came and got our Phone, Internet and Cable hooked up. It seems like it has been forever since i have been on the internet and gotten to blog. I am sorting through 2,034 emails!

Tomorrow the blogging starts again! I have some finished projects and books to blog about!

We are Moved!

We are moved and almost unpacked. Our phone, cable and internet hopefully will be hooked up next week. It has been good not having it so i can focus on getting unpacked because getting on the computer would be tempting instead of unpacking. But now i need my service hooked up i think i'm having withdrawls. LOL! Thankful my mom lives down the rd so i can come every few days and check my email!

Giveaway

The Apronista is hosting a fabulous Giveaway by Morgan Moore! Go Check them out!

Letters,Letters,Letters

So when we finally move this thursday i will have my very own office/craft/scrapbook room.
I have seen many homes decorated with letters. I decided to put some in the room but wanted them customized. So here are a few that i will start with and once moved and settled will do more!

The Tenth Circle

I guess you can now officially say i am obsessed with Jodi Picoult's books. I finish one and have to start another. Last night i finished the Tenth Circle. I really wanted to get this read before June 28th because the movie will air on Lifetime then.

The Tenth Circle will tie you to your reading chair and won't let you up until you turn the last page. It is a gripping novel that has a union of a novel and comic book. The art serves to provide yet another layer into Daniel's psyche. The Tenth Circle tells the story of Daniel Stone, a successful graphic artist and its all about the bonds between parents and children. Picoult is very smart in handling a teen-rape, teen-depression and teen-suicide story.

Now off to start reading
