A preview of Barbara Delinsky's "Sweet Salt Air"

I had the opportunity of participating in the latest chatterbox from www.houseparty.com. I received a copy of Barbara Delinsky's newest book "Sweet Salt Air" and it was a great summer read. I enjoyed getting into the main characters Nicole and Charlotte. The story is about two close friends who got to know each other on an island. The story goes on to reunite them later in life and because of some drama that happened the last time they saw each other Charlotte is reluctant to go back but know she must to help her friend with an amazing cookbook that she is writing. The story is easily relatable to anyone and you also learn about a few topics as you read. A great summer read! Check out her information and other books here... http://barbaradelinsky.com

Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing! Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments. This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it. Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about. Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament. She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool. Here I've shaped them into squares... It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
