{~*~Book~*~}

{The Paper Home by Labeena Ishaque} has some really great projects to make in it. I seen it on the book shelf at the library and checked it out. Have you seen this {Book}?

{~*~Blackberries and Butterflies~*~}

I had to take a video and book back to the library. I checked out some others. I've been wanting to read The Diary of a Young Girl Anne Frank. It includes previously unpub- lished material. After the Library I went to the Post Office and onto the store. I decided to take a short walk before shopping. I had found some blackberries along side a road. So I picked some to bring home. I picked enough to put in a Blueberry-Lemon Muffin recipe out of a Better Homes and Gardens All-time Favorite Fruit recipes. Pg. 32. It calls for 1 tsp. of finely shredded lemon peel. I use more of the lemon peel. I like it much better that way. Dd said they'd taste good with just the lemon she thought. So sometime I'll have to try it. I am sure it will taste just as good. A tip if you have the oven on and you need to melt some butter. I just put butter in a pyrex bowl and sit it on the burner where the heat vent comes up from the oven. It melts with- out using extra electricity. Pyrex bowls are not ment for stovetop or broiler but I figure that if I don't have the burner on it won't break. It worked for me. I also do this if I want to keep something warm without having the burner on. This only works if your using the oven. I watched two white Butter- flies and some Bumblebees today while pick- ing Blackberries. I think I am on my way to recovering. I still can not sit for long periods at the computer though. I have some things to catch up on around here. So when I am caught up I'll be back to visiting blogs. GOD Bless and Thank You So Much For All The Prayers and Well Wishes!!!

Is a Butterfly more free than a Caterpillar? Are they not one in the same? Traveling in one direction, only one without wings. Are they not, on the same adventure called, The cycle of life?~Flassie.

From Pink Chalk Studios : {Joy Ride} I think this is a great idea for a gift. You can adapt it to maybe summer camps or things kids did over summer vacation. How about using the childs artwork or making a silhouette book.
