New in Newstand!


Create Fake Magazine Covers with your own picture at MagMyPic.com




We had a lot of snow today. I could not drive my car, the wheels would just spin and remained stationary. So I stayed home and checked my e-mail and browsed the internet. Then I found this site. They have over 50 magazine covers and you can print them for $14.95. You can even create your own and put a picture of your pet! I think it’s a bit expensive and I don’t know how good the resolution is. But if you want to do something creative and unique, try it. It was a lot of fun trying different covers.

Piggyback Rider

I guess I don’t have to go Mexico. Thank you to both John and Ben, I learned something new. I really need to read more books – my brain needs some recharging. By the way Ben, great website!

I went to church today and I saw the cutest thing... During the service, the kids were asked to go to the classroom with their teachers to learn the scriptures. A particular little girl caught my attention because she had her sister on her back when she joined the rest the kids at the altar. An hour later when everyone came out and returned to their parents, she was still carrying her sister on her back. I thought it was very sweet. So, I went home, cleaned my room, washed my clothes and took my watercolor paper out and used the last page. And here it is!



Below is a picture of me and my sister – I was 5 and she was 3. My other sister was not born yet when this was taken. I remember this picture very well because I was looking for my belt but couldn’t find it. And I remember how much I loved my knickerbockers – I’d wear it everywhere and every day when I could.
