Wickedly Wicked.

I wanted to share the next sketch for TTS! I really enjoyed creating this layout because
the colors are bright and fun and normally
when I am scrapping this makes me inspired
and happy!

I used a variety of things on here and one of the things I did use was Shimmerz!
I used Shimmerz Angel's Wings on the stars to give them
some bling! It was fun incorporating that into this layout!

I love these photos of Alyssa. I have said it before, but she surprises us each and every time she does a play.
This was actually a camp {HS Musical camp} and she played a role like everyone else. And I know I sound biased cause she's my kid and that's how it should be... But honestly she's got some talent! She projects herself so nicely, sings well, speaks well, and her acting is pretty decent too! It is like a flower opening up in the morning watching her each and every time she gets on stage! I hope that she stays involved with CYT because it is a great program and also watching her do something she really loves!

So my friend Sarah was telling me about
this book while on our girlie trip.
So when I came home I decided to hunt
it down and buy it.
I got it and D said that he wanted to read
it as well and suggested we read it out
loud together. He's a slower reader than
I am, so this works because we can both
read and be together on it!

The book? It's Wicked.

I had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we first opened it.
I cannot decided if I am glued to it because it is so good, or the fact that I want to find out the story...

I am enjoying the book, however there are bits and pieces of it that I kind of feel are seedy. I hadn't a clue that this book would be this explicit in some areas at all. But if you can get passed that, it is a good read.

We are only 1/2 way through the book. Her story is unfolding and things are falling into place as we read them and making more sense. Right now though, I don't see how she is so wicked. I know in the Wizard of Oz she is.. But now she just seems like a cynical green girl who has smarts and wit too.

Has anyone read this book? Tell me how you felt about it
with of course not giving away anything!
I'd like to know your opinion if you've read it.

If you have any other good books to read,
list them so I can read them too!

I just recently ordered these:








Britt Nicole
FireFlight
Decyfer Down
Barlow Girl
Red
Skillet

You can check each of them out above.
We're totally stoked that we're getting these
soon! I love music a lot!!!
In them, I hope that you find something
that touches you within their music as well!


Hope your Friday is blessed!

It is so totally ok to be biased where our children are concerned. She seems like an amazing young woman. Our kids need to know we are proud of them and that we think the best of them. Good Job Mom!!

I absolutely LOVE Wicked! But then Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie! I love seeing the story behind the wicked witch and found it a fun read. There are two more books after that one if you like it too!
