MoDgE pOdGe

Over the summer I discovered modge podge. I did a few crafts with it. I hope to do more of the quote frames. Here are some pictures, (the quote frame, and 1500 piece puzzle). The puzzle is a picture that reminds me of my dear sweet Great Grandma Beth, who passed away almost a year ago. She introduced me to Shakespeare, and this painting hung in her kitchen. At the cabin, my aunts and cousins helped me put it together.

Reading Overload!

Wow, it has been quite awhile since I last posted. Here is the last few novels I have read, quick review on them!
"The Invention of Hugo Cabret", by Brian Selznick(top) - oh my goodness!!! Incredible!! It was such a great book a picture book taken to extreme. The majority of the story was told through pictures and wow, so good. The movie will be coming out in November.
"Number the Stars", by Lois Lowry (second) - what a sweet and moving story. A young girl living in Denmark during the Nazi invasion. A true story of courage and helping her friend live through the hard times. Very moving!
The third book I have read in the last few weeks was "Lincoln, A photobiography" it was a great biography telling of Lincoln's life, their were things I did not know of Abraham Lincoln. A very good biography!
I am currently on another book at the time, and a review will be coming shortly !

New Goal

Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted. I thought I would share my progress in my new goal. Since the beginning of the semester my roommates and I have tried to go to the gym at least 3 times a week.  We do cardio and abs every time, but on Tues we focus on arms, Wed on legs, and Thurs back and shoulders. I am already feeling a difference, and realize that I love working out! We have a group that goes with us, and it is so much fun. So far this week, I biked 5 miles on Tues, and 4 miles on Wed. (this is my averages every week).  More book reviews to come !
