<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Tapestry of Secrets by Sarah Loudin Thomas<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What impressed me the most about this book was the Love and
Respect shown to the grandmother as she struggled to recover from a
stroke. I appreciated the scripture
references and talks with the Lord, seeking Him in all things. There were real
life struggles with the aging process and showing that as we grow older we
still have worth and that life is not over and we should never give up but
continue to Dream and Strive to Thrive. There is much about valuing our
heritage and our family it is a very worthwhile read. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I highly recommend it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The designs in this book are a little more intricate than
the ones in the book I previously reviewed. However this book was just as
enjoyable and an experience of reflection of being fearless. The paper is great quality and the book well
thought out and easy to work in. If you
haven’t dipped your toes into the world of adult coloring books yet Ms Feinberg’s
books will be a good place to start.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I loved this book it had all my favorite things in it,
starting a business and the nuts and bolts of running one. Overcoming adversity, falling in love,
renewing relationships and finding love at all different ages.
Love is not just for the young. This book show how we allow others
expectations to put pressure on ourselves with unrealistic expectations of what
God expects from us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It has lighthearted
elements like a goat who eats everything and has attitude. Kind of reminded me
of some people I know. LOL </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The whole story captured my attention and kept it.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons on how to love and diffuse anger and gossip. There were several strong personalities with the type of problems that we often face in our everyday life. I had a little trouble following some of the lineages and getting the names straight but, the book gave me a desire to know more about my own ancestors and the legacy they have passed down to me.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Live
Free An Adult Coloring Book by Margaret Feinberg<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">This
is my first time participating in the new coloring books for adults. I was reluctant to do so, as art is my full
time job. However I highly recommend it
and especially Margaret Feinberg’s version.
I spent a nice time unwinding and relaxing while meditating on the
corresponding scripture. It was very therapeutic
and comforting. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">I
prefer using colored pencils but know that some of my friends prefer markers
and gel pens. I think if you were to use
anything except colored pencils you might get some bleed through onto the back
of your page. That would spoil the
design on the back of each page which gave me a spot for journaling and
doodling. Put a sheet of paper between
the pages if you are using markers and then you won’t get any bleed on the next
design.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">All
in all this is a book that I highly recommend!
Do you need a little time to relax and enjoy the Lord’s presence? Or you
just want to get away from the pressures of being an adult? You need this book and a set of sharpened
colored pencils!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Amish
Sweethearts by Leslie Gould<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve
been thinking why I have been choosing to read romance novels lately, specifically
Christian romance. One reason is because
I like them. They give one hope that relationships do work out and there is a
happy ending. Just like in the bible the
hero may go thru many trials and suffer many misunderstandings but you just
know it is going to be ok. He is going
to end up with that intimate relationship blessed by the Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Two
I enjoy these books because they are not graphic and I can apply many of the
overcoming of trials to my own life and my walk with the Supreme Lover of my
soul, Father God. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Something
that I found of particular interest in Amish Sweethearts was how the main
characters had to choose the path of faith they would walk. To find that place
that pleases God and not man even though the going is tough. How many of us conform to what we think others
expect of us and do not seek God’s heart for us?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">This
book was not only an enjoyable read, but a good reminder that sometimes we need
to walk away from our electronics for a while and spend time with those that
matter. Don’t assume we know everything about those we love, but really find out
about them. I recommend this book and
hope you will enjoy it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Worship changes everything!
How true. I got this book just as
I had been asking the Lord to help me draw closer to Him. To help me to seek HIM, spending time in HIS
presence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This book has helped me to define what I can do for God,
starting just where I am, I don’t have to make things complicated. You will
learn to have a greater heart for God and live a worshipful life, watching to
say what the Lord would have you say. Your self-worth will be boosted as you
begin to live a life of worship and see yourself </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">as our Loving Father sees us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is not just a book for people who stand in front of
crowds or church and sing this is a book for every person in whatever their
personal walk is. You can worship God in
your job, your marriage, by cherishing your children, in times of desolation
and in private. Worship of our Creator
is where ever we are in whatever we do, it is not just standing in front of
church and singing a few songs. Worship is a relationship!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

needed the encouragement in my life that this book so well says. Often we judge
God and turn from HIM because of bad experiences. We are so overwhelmed with the negative that
we do not see all the good. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">God sees the good things and only desires our
company. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">This
book has really brought the time of Nehemiah alive to me. I highly recommend it to those who want to
have more understanding of what it was like to rebuild the city of Jerusalem,
to be a bondservant or a nobleman. The
differences of the classes, to farm or be a shepherd.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: large;">Nehemiah’s
story is one of hearing from the God of the Impossible and knowing His
voice. To see God open doors and make a
way for the impossible using a regular man is very faith building to know that
we too can trust God’s voice in what He asks us to do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was a good coming of age tale of learning the
difference between being grateful and setting boundaries necessary to become
mature. I found the exploration of honoring your parents while finding your way
to adulthood very well and respectfully done.
There is much to learn about love and honor in this book so that we
follow God’s path for us and not the path others think we should take. I highly recommend the book, it is a lovely
story of love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

love books that tell me about the times from an unexpected viewpoint, in this
case the story is told by Caleb. I found
it fascinating to see what the plagues of Egypt may have looked like from the
side of the Egyptians. Caleb tells the story of the Israelites to his nephew so that the history can be passed along to future generations. First from the
viewpoint of a high ranking Egyptian soldier, close to Pharaoh then as one of
the Israelites. The story is authored by a solider and from a soldiers
viewpoint. Great Stuff! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I don't want to say a lot about this book because I don't want to ruin how wonderful it is for you. It would spoil the surprise that you got each morning when you learned one more aspect of just how much God loves you. I could hardly wait for the next days adventure in friendship and to be truthful sometimes I didn't, I would read ahead! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> This is a month long journey of daily, easy to read and understand devotions of God's desire for you. You don't want to miss out on this book and I would highly recommend more of Mr. Sheets books.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Usually I just enjoy clean romances for the feel good
feelings however, this one actually reminded me of a few truths in life. One, is
that I need to live in the moment and enjoy that moment because all too soon it
will have passed. Two, I need to NOT assume how well I know someone. It would
be worth my time to spend time getting to know my family members better, really
listen to them. Three, I need to honor my Mother and Father by listening to
their advice. They have already felt and experienced much of what I have not
and they can save me from making a lot of mistakes, finding what my true
strengths and dreams are.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While this book was a lovely read with situations that are
applicable to things happening in today’s world. I felt that I learned more of
the Father’s love for me and how if I depended on Him no matter what then I
would not be facing anything alone. Melville is quoted in the book and I found
it to be an excellent quote. “For the scene of suffering is a scene of joy when
the suffering is past; and the silent reminiscence of hardships departed is
sweeter than the presence of delight.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was also delighted when I discovered that Janette Oke’s
stories are the base for some of my all time favorite television movies and
series on Hallmark channel! I highly recommend all of Mrs Oke’s and her
daughter’s books. Let’s bring back worthwhile stories that honor the Lord and
entertain.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a lovely read this book was.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> It really brought up the point that the Lord has forgiven us our sins </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and we should never judge others. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We can accept people just the way they are and if we allow them </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">to they can put their past behind them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While the book is basically a typical romance where a couple is put together, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">starts to find love, is separated, t</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hen overcomes all the obstacles to continue their lives together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I Just Happen to Love that scenario.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It gives me hope and makes me happy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another great point to this book is it is clean, no graphic stuff that I have to wash my mind of and try to skip past.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recommend this book and you will also learn some cool stuff about lighthouse keeping on the Great Lakes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I didn't even realize before this that lighthouses were needed on the Lakes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have been trying to remove a lot of extraneous “worldly”
entertainments from my life and focus on Jesus.<span>
</span>Some people call this a Jesus Fast. I can’t say that I have been 100%
successful but, it has been a big help.<span>
</span>It is books like The Jesus Story that has helped me in my fast.<span> </span>I have been craving books that will not only
translate the Story of Jesus’ life into everyday language but I’m the kind of
person who wants those details about what His everyday life could have been
like.<span> </span>I want to know how food was
prepared, how the towns were laid out, what type of fabric they made their
clothing out of and how they made it and on and on.<span> </span>While this book does not go into that type of
depth it gave me a glimpse of the story in chronological order.<span> </span>As I read there were many times I wished for
more of Dr. Marty’s insights but it did make me go and read more about it in
the Bible.<span> </span>All in all, I would recommend
this book to anyone who <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>wants an over view of Jesus.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When reading Firefly Island I felt like the main character Mallory could
have easily been me. A career driven woman with a family that loves her and a
dream job that she is willing to leave all behind for a man she loves. I like
the mystery behind the small town, Moses Lake, her laughable "honeymoon"
destination that is her new home. She quickly finds out that small town like is
no much different than the politics of Washington, D.C. where she came from.
Mallory has to learn to TRUST, which is hard for her but in the end is part of
the beautiful reward she receives. </span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I asked my friend Hannah to finish reading this book for me and write the review. I was only a third of the way thru the book (and enjoying it very much) when circumstances intervened that did not allow me to finish it in a timely manner. What I was able to read I found delightful and appreciated Lisa Wingate's style in bringing Mallory to life. No matter what your age and where you are in your life we all have doubts when starting a relationship and trust in God is what brings us thru. I recommend the book and hope you will make it a point to read it. I received a free copy from Bethany House for review.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> "When ROCK-STAR PREACHERS SPEW a FALSE GOSPEL"<br /> by Jennifer LeClaire<br /><br />When preachers tour like rock stars, it´s no wonder sinners flock to stadiums. Of course, preachers holding stadium-sized events packed out with lost souls is awesome-unless those preachers present a hyped-up, watered-down, seeker-friendly gospel that´s giving the assurance of heaven while sending people to hell.<br /><br />I am convinced that too many people who claim to be Christ- followers are not really saved because too many false teachers and false prophets are propagating a "different gospel" centered on "another Jesus" (see 2 Cor. 11:3-4). I am convinced that many self-professing saints are going to sit right next to sinners in hell when it´s all said and done-thanks, in part, to rock-star preachers presenting a hyped-up, watered-down, seeker-friendly gospel.<br /><br />Especially in America, it´s easy to say, "I believe in Jesus." It´s called mental assent. I believed in Jesus before I got saved, too, but I was still on my way to hell. Many who have "accepted Jesus into their hearts" have responded to a "different gospel" centered on a false Christ. This gospel is mixed with compromise. This gospel is impure and defiled religion. This gospel offers a humanistic, self-help message that taps New Age principles.Indeed, these false teachers and false prophets are moving in a false anointing and presenting a false Christ. And it´s deadly.<br /><br />Perverting the Gospel of Christ<br /><br />This is not a new problem. More than 2,000 years ago, Paul wrote, "But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted-you may well put up with it!" </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">(2 Cor. 11:3-4, emphasis added)<br /><br />Church, why are we putting up with this false gospel? Why are we spending millions of dollars on books filled with heresy penned by false teachers? Why are people flocking to stadiums to worship another Jesus?<br /><br />They have been deceived by the serpent´s craftiness. Their minds have been corrupted from the simplicity of Christ. The gospel is not difficult to understand, and it´s not difficult to recognize false doctrine if you are a student of the Word. But members of the lukewarm, apathetic, bless-me-only church are too lazy to open their Bibles and read Scripture for themselves. Members of the lukewarm, apathetic, bless-me-only church want to be spoon-fed a feel-good 20-minute sermonette rather than be challenged to die to self, pick up their cross and walk the narrow road. They've turned away from the real Jesus to another Jesus. Paul felt the same angst in his spirit that I feel in mine.<br /><br />"I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed" (Gal. 1:6-9, emphasis added).<br /><br />Fables and Fairy Tales<br /><br />I´m also marveling at the masses that are paying to hear a different gospel, a perverted gospel-a gospel that will send them to hell if they embrace its doctrines. Some of those "gospels" insist there is no hell. Some of those "gospels" say we´re all going to heaven in the end. Some of those "gospels" give you a license to sin without penalty. False teachers are using familiar Scriptures to justify their stance, but they´ve essentially turned the Bible into a book of fables and fairy tales.<br /><br />I don´t care who doesn´t like it. I´m taking the apostle Paul´s advice: "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (2 Tim. 4:2-4).</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When the Lord called me into ministry, he gave me parallel Scriptures out of Ezekiel 3 and Ezekiel 33. I´m a watchman called to warn the church. If I don´t open my mouth and people die in their iniquity-in their different gospel from another Jesus-some of the blood will be on my hands (Ezek. 3:17-19). I don´t want any blood on my hands, and I´m not going to shut up just because the false teachers-or anybody else-doesn't like it. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Does He Know You?</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here´s the rub. Jesus is come back to separate the sheep from the goats (Matt. 25:32). And I´m seeing too many goats sitting in the church saying amen to a false gospel centered on a false Christ.<br /><br />Jesus put it this way: "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,´shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?´ And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!´" (Matt. 7:21-23)<br /><br />They never knew Jesus, and Jesus never knew them. They were following another Jesus based on a different gospel that was more convenient to their humanistic lifestyle, tickled their ears and promised peace when <br /> there is no peace (Jer. 6:14).<br /><br /> I shudder to think of the horror on that day, when masses who rushed to the stadiums and megachurches to hear rock-star preachers (or even no-name preachers in small congregations) present a hyped-up, watered-down, seeker-friendly gospel realize they´ve been duped. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. And there will be suffering for eternity. God forbid. Let us pray that these false teachers and false prophets will be exposed and that discernment will rise among believers and non-believers searching for <br />the true hope of the real gospel. Amen.</span></span></div>

Here is another of my Thrift Store Reviews:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Second Hand Rose on the Square in Harrison, Arkansas</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I love this store! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The clothes were clean and well organized and since it is a consignment store you never know what goodies you are going to find at any given time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I found a lot more trendy clothes here plus plenty of items for every taste.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I found these great leopard print wellies for only $20. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And just in time for gardening season as my other wellies developed dry rot and needed replacing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hmmm... maybe one of those cute flower pots would be a good way to </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">re-purpose the old ones. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You know like you see on pinterest!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also found 3 great tops even though you only see 2 here all for under $14 Yeah!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There was more than one dressing room and they were furnished so I had a place to set my personal belongings down and hang up the clothes I wanted to try. I did not bump my elbows on the walls while trying on clothes, which is a big rant for me in most of the places I've been in. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The owner of this store will help you by pulling clothes (when she has time)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> if you tell her what you are looking for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Personal shopper baby! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I needed new clothes to fit my new body. At the end of P2 I bought a pair of jeans, size 8. And now they are too loose. So I went thrift Store Shopping in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Having never been shopping there I googled and asked around as to where the best deals could be found. Following is a review of the stores I visited and what worked for me. But, before I list the stores and my ratings Here is some of what I found. 2 pair of size 6 jeans (and yes one is a pair of skinny jeans) Those of you who know me know my opinion of skinny jeans. LOL However I decided that they are perfect for tucking into boots. 2 sweaters, 1 jacket, 4 tops, 1 designer leather handbag all for under $40. Yeah! most items were Coldwater Bay or Chico's brands.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I also found a couple other non-wearable items, 1 NIV bible for 25cents, 1 red fuzzy scarf for $1. A birdcage for $11 and donut baking pan for $3.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now for the list of stores:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><u>Goodwill, 3157 Sunset Ave, Springdale</u></span> - this store was clean and well organized and the dressing rooms were large enough to turn around in. All of the staff were pleasant and helpful. over all I would give this thrift store a 5 out of 5.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u><span style="color: purple;">Potters House, 2703 N Drake St, Fayetteville</span></u> - I found several of my items here. This shop is definitely worth checking out. The clothing was organized by size and color. The staff were pleasant, Dressing rooms were small and there were only 2 and a constant waiting line. You could find a lot of other items here beyond clothing. Because of cleanliness I would only give this store a 3 1/2 out of 5.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><u>Second Chance - 3865 S. Old Missouri Road, Springdale </u></span>- Not a large store but they did allow you to use the restroom. The staff was very friendly and personable. It seemed like most of the clothes were either petites or 12 and up. Because of the friendliness of the staff I would visit this store again, but only give it a 3 out of 5, for selection and it was so cold everyone was wearing their coats, made the experience unpleasant. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: purple;"><u>Peace at Home Thrift Store , 1200 N Garland, Fayetteville</u></span> - Clothes run small, dirty, very small dressing room. The girls behind the counter were nice but there was staff sitting around flirting and being a little loud. I did not find the atmosphere welcoming at all. I would only give this store a 1 out of 5 and will not visit it again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i>My tip</i> for shopping is wear shoes you c<span style="font-size: large;">an slip off and <span style="font-size: large;">on easily<span style="font-size: large;"> and the same for the rest of your clothing. I wore a tank I could<span style="font-size: large;"> try tops on with out removing it<span style="font-size: large;">, </span></span>with a <span style="font-size: large;">zip up jacket that I did not have to take off o<span style="font-size: large;">ver my head. Sweat pants that were fast to take on and off.</span></span></span></span></span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next Week I'm headed to Branson to try out the thrift stores there. I'll let you know how I find them</span></span>. <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">At week 4 these pants which were tight just 2 weeks ago are now baggy in the rear and at week 5 I didn't even need to unzip them to get them on. They are now in my "fat" clothes. I've found one pair of new jeans that next weeks photos will be taken in. And I will be going thrift store shopping soon for some new clothes. Wooo Hooo! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over all in the 5 weeks or 35 days of Phase 2 HCG I lost a total of 18.4 pounds and 29 overall inches.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am still experiencing reshaping 8 days later but that story next week. There was just no other way I've been able to loose the weight and keep it off since my 40's. I highly recommend this process, it will work for everyone.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I saw a program Dr Oz did where he stresses that only injections under a Doctor's regulation will work. But, I do not agree, I felt that this was a way for it to be regulated by government and to make money. I have found only a few Doctor's even followed the program, most made adjustments of their own that have made it difficult for some to keep the weight off. My own Doctor has done several rounds herself but I found that by study and keeping up with others blogs and forums that had been successful that I ended up knowing more than she. Don't get me wrong my Doctor is great, I just feel it is my responsibility to find as many answers for myself and not just take any one's word for it. Dr Oz also stressed that only injections would work, which is untrue. I have successfully used RX drops each of my rounds. There are a lot of false drops out there and you need to be sure you get yours from a reputable source and you will know very fast if you don't have real drops. I would use injections if I ever do another round because I think that I would loose faster in my stomach area. I felt that with the sub lingual drops I lost faster in my upper torso. This is my personal opinion based on my experience.</span></span>Pamlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06172702407759688371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416256701876472744.post-36379547708486111982013-02-01T11:04:00.002-06:002013-02-01T11:04:21.277-06:00Week 4 ended with 4.5 inches and 1.4 lbs lost <span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">That doesn't seem like a lot of loss but just wait until next week's post! What a difference one day will make!! I've been checking things today like BMI which is down to 20.6 from 23.4 which is well into the acceptable range and my hip to waist ratio which is 0.7. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a healthy waist to hip ratio for women should not exceed 0.8.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm very satisfied with my progress and don't feel like I need to loose more weight but I want to be sure I get rid of the rest of the abnormal fat in the belly and back. Either way I will be stopping for sure by next Tuesday. I do have the option of stopping any day now. I am upping my protein a little because it is inches I want to loose more than weight. I know as I enter Phase 3 that reshaping will continue. And I am really tired of Phase 2 foods. It's scary to go into P3 because you are only <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">restricted</span> from sugar and starch<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">so you have to be careful what you eat so your weight stabilizes. More <span style="font-size: large;">to come about P3 in the future.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had my husband take photos this week so it is a slightly different angle but you can still see the difference in my stomach. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My dear husband was going back and reading the first post of this journey and told me how amazed he was at the difference because he had never seen me as heavy. I really appreciated that, however he wears tri-focals and I'm always asking him to take off his glasses and tell me how many fingers I'm holding up. Ha Ha</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He doesn't think it's a<span style="font-size: large;">s funny as I do</span></span></span>.<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was going to post my update on Wednesday but I ended up editing photos all day of my session with my <span style="font-size: large;">granddaughter</span> Kaylee. Then I was going to get this posted yesterday but I worked all day at the Heartwood Gallery in Fayetteville, Arkansas and the internet connection was down there. I did get photos of all the new works of art and got them edited so if you are not friends with me on Facebook please send me a friend request and lets get hooked up. I'd also appreciate it if you would LIKE our Heartwood Gallery page. We have one of the oldest galleries in Fayetteville.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> You will find the complete recipe at the bottom of this post. I originally found this while cruising <a href="http://pinterest.com/pamlaladon/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>, indulging in food porn while on <a href="http://www.hcgdietinfo.com/" target="_blank">HCG</a>. Now don't everyone go get their panties in a twist. Food porn is just reading recipes of all the foods you can't have right now and dreaming of the day you can again eat that item. I know you had your minds in the gutter! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So Back to the story of this bread. I was looking at the recipe on <a href="http://www.frugallivingnw.com/frugal-homemaking/amazing-no-knead-bread-step-by-step-recipe/" target="_blank">Frugal Living NW</a> This is a great blog by the way. Spend some time there you'll find a lot to interest you. The original recipe came from<span id="btAsinTitle"> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393066304/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=flnwbread-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0393066304" target="_blank">My Bread:</a> The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method by Jim Lahey</span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="btAsinTitle">My husband likes hard crusty bread, I do not. But, he eats a lot more bread than I do so that is the kind of bread we have most around the house. I make <a href="http://pamlaklenczar.blogspot.com/2011/12/sourdough-cranberry-walnut-bread.html" target="_blank">Sourdough Walnut Cranberry Bread</a> for him a couple times a month and he will eat it every morning for breakfast. I bake it in clay pots.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="btAsinTitle">The photo above shows the dry ingredients all mixed together and then the water added.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="btAsinTitle">3 cups of water.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg30nbXeMqoeLrllJpimW9MVDapOmuZXIjCyBMsXVhF9Es4UAIGMOvleExGiyTPDWvxaLuAHrrhNgQJzy7U8KcfA-uG5s1qgCNEs0fjS6pDR5BW6AU0dBcU_x1JuSbg46CCg4SErQeHeiY/s1600/002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg30nbXeMqoeLrllJpimW9MVDapOmuZXIjCyBMsXVhF9Es4UAIGMOvleExGiyTPDWvxaLuAHrrhNgQJzy7U8KcfA-uG5s1qgCNEs0fjS6pDR5BW6AU0dBcU_x1JuSbg46CCg4SErQeHeiY/s640/002.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This photo shows what it looks like all mixed together. It's very moist and sticky. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 12 to 18 hours. This is great to start in the afternoon and let rise in a warm dry place overnight. As it is so cold here right now I turned on the oven light and sat it in my oven. Not<span style="font-size: large;">ice</span> the boxes behind my bowl? They are my industrial size boxes of foil and plastic wrap. As I use them almost daily I grew tired of digging them out of the cabinet so I covered them with scrapbooking paper to match my kitchen. Sooooo much cuter than the original boxes.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHmra5aOI1UHTb9DAyPpKozJ3dpOMnpuSKF39PZNdCKfVQMKSVE8U9aQiCwHc5LKcq3L1GubCtZNAbqH0Fs1wRFXy-iQGbw6rzRKm-XIM0Sw09RBT5x02FLQpdqMDdWUMIhbIyghhlOb0/s640/003.JPG" width="640" /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> My dough had too much water so I was unable to shape it as they show in the recipe. So I just pulled the dough away from the sides of my bowl with my spatula and sprinkled flour along the sides of my bowl as I did this. I did this pull and fold over at each quarter turn sprinkling flour along the sides as I went. Then lightly sprinkle a little flour over the top. I put it back to rise again for a couple of hours, covering the bowl with a <span style="font-size: large;">tea <span style="font-size: large;">towel</span> instead of plastic wrap</span>. In the bottom of my pre-heated corning ware dish I inserted parchment paper. Then taking my spatula I pushed the dough into the dish, put the lid back on and placed it in my pre-heated oven. You are supposed to bake this bread in a Dutch Oven. I did not have one so I decided to try using my corning ware. I will be getting a Dutch Oven but, I did like how the bread looked in it's round shape.</span></span><br />

My husband gave it a 7 1/2 out of 10 and said he will definately eat it as sandwich bread. This is one of the easiest ways of making bread outside of the bread machine. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Basic No-Knead Bread </strong><i>this recipe came from </i><strong> <a href="http://www.frugallivingnw.com/recipes/" target="_blank">FrugallivingNW </a></strong><strong><br />
</strong>slightly adapted from <em>Jim Lahey's, My Bread</em><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393066304/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=flnwbread-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0393066304" target="_blank"><em></em></a></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">6 cups bread flour (recommended) or all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface<br />
1/2 t. instant or active-dry yeast<br />
2 1/2 t. salt<br />
2 2/3 c. cool water</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water
and stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated; the
dough should be wet and sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let
the dough rest 12-18 hours on the counter at room temperature. When
surface of the risen dough has darkened slightly, smells yeasty, and is
dotted with bubbles, it is ready.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lightly flour your hands and a work surface. Place dough on work
surface and sprinkle with more flour. Fold the dough over on itself once
or twice and, using floured fingers, tuck the dough underneath to form a
rough ball.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Generously<em> </em>dust a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with
enough flour, cornmeal, or wheat bran to prevent the dough from sticking
to the towel as it rises; place dough seam side down on the towel and
dust with more flour, cornmeal, or wheat bran. Cover with the edges or a
second cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours, until it has
doubled in size.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">After about 1 1/2 hours, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a 6-8
quart heavy covered pot, such as a cast-iron Dutch oven, in the oven as
it heats. When the dough has fully risen, carefully remove pot from
oven. Remove top towel from dough and slide your hand under the bottom
towel; flip the dough over into pot, seam side up. Shake pan once or
twice if dough looks unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it
bakes.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for 10-15
more minutes, until the crust is a deep chestnut brown. The internal
temperature of the bread should be around 200 degrees. You can check
this with a meat thermometer, if desired.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remove the bread from the pot and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.</span></span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> My adaptation was to use 3 cups of Spelt and 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 3 cups of water as Spelt takes more moisture. Now on to my next cooking adventure!</span></span><br />
