The Literary Heroine Blog Party

Kellie Falconer of the lovely blog, Accordion to Kellie, is throwing a magnificent blog party!  Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea how a blog party worked.  Though I'm still very much a novice in the whole "blog party" business, I am quite enjoying my very first introduction to it!  It's …

Homemade Book Case

Making book covers is one of my favorite hobbies.  I love embroidering them with my initials or an iconic image from the story itself.  The only problem with these beautiful covers is that they only fit hardback books.  I've thought through various ideas for my paperback books, but until now I have never come up …

Keep Calm And Wear A Trench Coat

Yesterday, one of my dearest, most treasured dreams became a reality.  I got a trench coat. I can't exactly remember when my fascination with trench coats came about.  It seems that in every movie I watch, and book I read, at least one character has one of these incredible coats.  (And more often than not, it's …

Of Secondary Importance

Isn't it interesting that very rarely in any book is the main character actually our favorite hero? Frodo is supposed to be the main character of The Lord of the Rings, yet I invariably discuss, think about and admire Gandalf, Aragorn, and even Boromir more than I do Frodo.  When I read Enemy Brothers, of course I …

Interview

What are some of the most important things you've learned from having a job of your own?  God has used this new job of mine to teach me tons of life-lessons.  It has NOT been easy (I've had quite a few meltdowns) but looking back on how far God has brought me in my walk with Him, I …

Tag, I’m it!

My dear friend and fellow blogger, Emily (of becomingemily.wordpress.com) has tagged me!  As a little girl, I just adored games of favorites.  I would drive my sister crazy asking questions like, "If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?"  or "If you had to listen to …

No Greater Love

  Over the past few months, I've noticed a trend in the stories I've come across.  I found, to my surprise, that it is in almost every story ever made.  Think over all the movies you've watched, and books you've read.  If they're good stories, they are almost guaranteed to have this theme at some level.   …

Hero

Last night, I was watching the special features for The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn. Jamie Bell, the actor who played Tintin in the show, was saying how honored he was to be playing a role loved by so many people for generations. He said that Tintin has been his hero for years. …
