OOOOOOOW!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! My shoulder kills! I have just finished practising "The Eye Of The Tiger" with three of my brothers and two of my sisters. altogether the six oldest kids in our house playing music. One brother on the drums, one brother on the bass guitar , one brother playing the melody line on a guitar, and two of my sisters playing on the keyboard. And yours truly playing lead guitar. shall I tell you how much it hurt? Okay! It hurts a lot the shoulder strap shows no mercy to its owner, but seems to be intent on digging through the shirt sleeve on my shoulder, and once it's accomplished that , through my skin ,through the muscle , bone .... *shudders the mental picture is to grisly to think about long*. Any way enough of the moaning. Sorer muscles will heal, and besides what are sore muscles to the joy of having had a very enjoyable time playing the song near perfect with sibling in our loft? Yes the song is going really well and i am enjoying playing lead . And after all that playing I have a Bon Jobi song going through my head!!!! I hope all your music playing/practises are going well . And now I'm going to read book four of "The Obernewtyn Chronicles" . LOVE this series .

I'M WILD ABOUT.......??????

Dickens. Doesn't that name send your spine tingling with anticipation to read a book by the said great author Dickens? I always get a tingly feeling just before I read Dickens . And it doesn't just happen with Dickens any other book or author that is one of my personal favourites does the same. (Almost.)
There is something about Dickens , maybe it's his writing style , maybe just the brilliancy of his stories , or maybe a personal feeling I have of which I don't yet know the meaning.
I like Jane Austen's books but when I have a Dickens I'm reading my poor cousin gets neglected. And in fact in the long run , well,I'M WILD ABOUT DICKENS!!!!!!!! *ducks and dodges the rotten fruit being thrown at her by furious Austen fans*
I'll say it again shall I? I'M WILD ABOUT DICKENS!!!!!
Yours Truly almost died the other week when two younger siblings went to the movies to see the new *drum roll* ..... "CHRISTMAS CAROL"!!!!!!
I'm dying to see this and I must read the book again . And also get some other Dickens books. So, yes Austen is brilliant and I enjoy reading her books and really enjoy them but.
Dickens .What wonders that man wrote!!!
I LOVE DICKENS!!!!
Here are some pictures of the illustrious author of whom I am a very very loyal fan.

Champions.

My sisters and I have just recently started having " champions".Which are favorite male characters out of a film or movie. Eden's is "Farid "from the Inkheart Trilogy, Vellvin's is "Sir Gawain" from the squires tales, and mine is Dustfinger from the Inkheart Trilogy. These champions may only stay champion for a day or even an hour Dustfinger has been mine for weeks.
And just because he is my current champion here are some pictures of him.

I AM ALIVE BELEIVE IT OR NOT.

Okay I'm not dead, and I have not been ill .Last weekend and early this week were spent cleaning ,for the real estate agent to come and take new photos .
So we did a big house clean . And after we finished cleaning it only took her TWENTY minutes to take the photos.
Which seems very unfair to a large family who stressed themselves out to make their house presentable for photos . Alright we did feel very good after we had cleaned .
Which is why I did not do "A Damsels Daybook" earlier this week. I am planning to pre-publish some blog posts this week . So thank you for your patience.

Beauty In My Week.

These are my pictures for "Beauty in My Week". I was unable to do it last week because there was no computer spare. Anyway,these are my pictures for this week. I like the first one because it reminds me of my sisters and I doing things together.And also because of the wonderful feminine outfits. And also because there all outside together.



I like this one because it looks like the mother is just enjoying being with her chil and the child looks like right now its mother is the only thing that matters to him.And also because it looks warm outdoors. I don't know what there called or who their by or any thing about them. Except my mother is planning to use the first image for something for me and my sisters. She will be doing a post soon so keep an eye on her blog.

Jolly Jumper!!!!!!

Last week I was bored. So I pulled out this kit I had had in my possession since I was eight years old.The kit was labeled "How to make a puppet." But it was actually a marionette. I know what it is because I quote Tasha Tudor (She knew what she was talking about) She said" These are not puppets. Puppets are worn on hands these are marionettes." There you have it the manufacturers were wrong it should have been labeled "How to make a marionette". Anyway I had painted the pieces years ago but was unable to put it together. I tried again and eventually decided to just ditch the instructions and work from the picture on the box. It turned out very well and I named him after western comic book hero Lucky Luke's horse.... Jolly Jumper! I am working on another one. A dog and really enjoying it .

Beauty in My Week.

These are my pictures for the week The first one is of The Blessed Virgin Mary. I love it because (like most pictures of Our Lady) it inspires me to (try at least ) to do what God wants And doesn't She look so peaceful. She looks like she's praying for us her heavenly children. I haven't a clue who it is by but it is beautiful.

The second one is a charming fairy image. I like it because the girl is wearing a gorgeous dress.(Isn't it exuisite?) And then all the wild things around her and especially the fairys hovering above her head.
