Succumbing to Silly Bands

I resisted. I really did.



But the pink guitar was just too cool.
I feel like I'm sacrificing my free thinking by indulging in a fad... especially at age 20. Haha.
But it's only one!
But will it stay one?

We shall see....

More Jewelry

Here's my third completed creation! (I don't have a picture of the 2nd yet...)
I love the pearls on this one :)




I'm still trying to figure out how to turn my glass chess pieces into pendants... I think I need stronger glue.

Au revoir!

Never Let You Go

Erin Healy has been behind many of Ted Dekker's books as his editor. Then she co-wrote Kiss and Burn(which I LOVED) with him. Now she has written her own novel, proving she can write write on her own. Never Let You Go is suspenseful, and chilling at times, but not without lighter moments. Basically the book is about love. Love between mother and daughter, father and daughter, and between husband and wife. Lexi Solomon is doing everything she can to survive and provide for her daughter, but when an old friend comes back into her life, she almost loses everything.

The story was engaging and I loved some of the more understated spiritual elements of the story. My only complaint is that I'm not entirely certain the ending was believable, but maybe that's just me.

Jewelry Making

My first creation. The mini bottle holds watch parts, then a pair of watch hands, and an antique key all dangling on a copper colored ball chain. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I made it myself!



Hopefully there will be more jewelry to come this summer. :)

Au revoir!

The Dekker Scale

I recently finished reading Ted Dekker's newest novel The Bride Collector. Fully prepared to be disappointed, as a whole I enjoyed the book. Of course it was similar to Dekker's other serial killer books, but his story telling was as powerful as ever. Dekker purposefully leads the reader to believe that his main character is the same as his villain a la Thr3e. This book of course does not measure up to Thr3e, being the canon that all other Dekker books are measured against. I mentally rate each of Dekker's books...

...so I present to you the Dekker Scale. (Of course--this is only my opinion)

1............5.............10
Kiss - - - Green - - - - Thr3e

I would rate Bride Collector about a 7: One of Dekker's better books.

Looking forward to Immanuel's Veins this fall!
