i just have to share these 2 pages that i found as i was rummaging through stuff!:
i LOVE this page- man, it was a looong time ago- this is my beautiful sister-in-law maybe like 8 years ago? i can still remember when i took this photo. i made this page when i was on my 'dye' kick at Making Memories- it's published in a little mini-book called "To Dye For" (i found the book here for like $2 new and as low as .11 used!!).. man, the Glimmer mist is SO much better for this stuff!! but you can see that i was destined to be working with Tattered Angels! that Glimmer really makes it!

i love looking back on my pages of the past!!this is what it's all about!

colors:candy apple, tiger lily, lemongrass, key lime, jazz blue
and i am really needing some Coral Reef... it's totally the NOW color!
alright... SO, i still need to grab a book.. i need a great read- one that really sucks you in! and you can't put down... the kind that makes the 18 hour flight only seem like a 12 hour flight!! i'd love to hear your suggestions...leave me a comment to enter to be WEDNESDAY'S BIG HUGE WINNER!!
My could not put down book is Blood Memory by Greg Iles. Actually any on his novels are must reads and grippers from beginning to end!

I recently read The Girls from Ames and it was excellent! It is about a group of women who grew up together, and are still close friends. They have reunions every year. It is about their joys and struggles, but mainly about the bonds of friendship and love that have kept them together all of these years. I read it in a day.

Hmm...great books...the Twilight Series!!! Love these books - could not put them down!!! the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich...Nicholas Sparks books...

Another giveaway of great stuff...I would love to win! I still have a pack of those jewels in the matchbooks, I love them :) My favorite book of all time is "Where the Heart Is" by Billie Letts. The movie is excellent but I thought the book was even better! Thanks for another chance to win!

An absolutely scrumptious 'Can't put down' read is 'When in Rome' by Penelope Green. She is an Australian who chases her dream and moves from Sydney to Rome. Just gorgeous and she's written 2 more books since then too. Big smiles from New Zealand

I love the JD Robb series, and I have never been a fan of futuristic things, but her books are amazing, i especially love her idea of having an Auto Chef where you just program in what you want to eat and it delivers it to you.. how cool is that? a new one came out in february and i still have not got it read.. too busy scrappin...

Anything by Kristin Hannah is GREAT! I LOVED Firefly Lane... It's a page turner and you will not be able to put it down! It's about 2 women that grow up, become the best of friends, and learn what being a true friend is all about.

Right now I'm reading "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. It's a good read! I just bought it for my recent flight and I'm almost done with it already!

What a great giveaway for Wednesday's winner! I would love to be picked! I love the classic collection of your brand when you first got started. I decorated a mannequin with the packaging. Weird but it was pretty! ;)

A (kind of) classic that you won't be able to put down ~ Peyton Place. I read it a few years back (and I read EVERYTHING) and loved, loved, LOVED it! Small town drama, gossip, scandal ~ all the fun stuff.
My other selection choices would be:
-Girl w. the Dragon Tattoo
-Shadow of the Wind
Read both last year and they were HUGE hits at my book club. :)

Yes, definitely, Twilight Series...

Oh forgot to add, I loved loved loved the time traveler's wife, so out of the box but yet so romantic! I'm a huge James Patterson fan but his books are um, pretty detailed in murder and mayhem but great mysteries and an easy read.
Also, wanted to add, you said "remember those?" with the jewel matchbooks, um...i still have like over 20 of them. :)

Can't wait to see what you have for us tomorrow evening!
The books I fly through are Karen Kingsbury, so much reallife stuff!
Posted by: Carrie P | April 20, 2010 at 03:16 PM
Gotta love Ken Follett 'Pillars of the Earth' which is old and a classic but more recently his 'World without End' though to be fair you probably will need the full 18 hours (At least!) to read them - they are epic!!
Posted by: Helen Mills | April 20, 2010 at 03:17 PM
What an awesome giveaway! For books... hmm. I'm in school so I'm reading mostly textbooks. I just finished "The Goal" by Eli Goldratt which was a school book, but excellent. I've been loving the YA vampire books including the House of Night series as well as Blue Bloods and Twilight, of course! I just got Swan Thieves from Elizabeth Kostova which I'm really looking forward to (she wrote The Historian, another favorite). I devoured The Poisonwood Bible if you haven't already read it. Can't think of anything else... have fun picking books!
