"The Breakthrough"

Another book to check out - "The Breakthrough" by Jerry Jenkins (who co-wrote the "Left Behind" series.  Wow! I could not put this book down. If you like Dee Henderson's O`Malley series, you will like this book. Great suspense. Great pace. Little disappointing on how it was ended but otherwise really good.  Now I need to go read the first two books!

"All for a Song"

Finished another Christian fiction book recently called "All for a Song" by Allison Pittman.  I had a hard time getting into the story but so glad I kept going.  I wasn't sure what was going to happen to Dorothy Lynn after she left home, but was pleasantly surprised in the good decisions that she made overall.  Great descriptions made the story come alive in my mind.  I love reading and hearing about the "roaring twenties" and this book didn't disappoint.  Definitely recommend.

I did some more sewing today!  Felt good to be up there working.  Had fun doing these Purse Organizers.  Made two of the black and cream one.


I took a few pictures of my organizers with some of my purses so you can see how they can go together.

If you have a color combination you are interested in, let me know.  I love an excuse to go to the fabric stores!!

Also, today I went to Napoleon to "MKat's Antiques & Curiosities" - very cool place to browse and shop.  The lady is very friendly and if you are looking for something particular she is happy to keep an eye out for it!

Ebates

We do a lot of online shopping to save on gas and time.  Because of this, I participate in a program called Ebates.com.  What it does is PAYS me back to shop at select stores (Old Navy, Kohls, Lego, Toysrus, etc.).  All you have to do is join the program and add the little "E" button to your web browser toolbar.  Then when you go to a website it will automatically put a banner at the top to ask if you want to receive a cash back from this website.  So easy!!!  If you want to join or have any questions feel free to contact me.  I have put a direct link to ebates below.  Please use it or tell me to send you an email version so that I can get the credit that you joined!  Thanks!!

Sewing Room Update

Main walls are painted, cupboards are painted and moved into place.




Also bought four Sauder shelves and put them together to make a cutting table.  Got this idea from someone on Pinterest.



Want to watch for some cheap carpet or cute rugs and a sitting chair.
