Oh, I'm sorry I just saw your comment on my last chapter of Hope and Jedediah.
In answer to your questions the setting is like...Little House on the Praire...that's what I envisioned anyway:-)
I think I might have mentioned this, but maybe not 'til my next chapter...Hope is twelve (if I remember correctly:-) and Jedediah is fourteen.
Was that all? Sorry, I might have missed something...let me know if I did, or if you have any more questions!
I want to do that tag! It's pretty funny, and so true! It was very interesting-thanks for posting it!
In Christ,
Christine

Hey!
Thanks!!! :-)
Yes, the quilt was hand-made. For the photo enhancement I used a program called "Paintnet", and used a bunch of different effects (black & white, sepia, ink-sketch effect...) to edit a picture I took last Spring.
Yeah, the funny thing was that after the snow yesterday, it was nearly 60 today......

That's alright. We all have our blogging slumps. :)
Yeah, for Easter my family usually gets together with relatives but this year we are going to do something different. We are having my older brother and his girlfriend out on Saturday and then they will spend the night. In the morning my brother, who happens to be a chef, is going to make a special breakfast and then we will all go to church together. After church my brother and his girlfriend will go spend time with her family and a super close family that we know will come to our house after church. So it should be different but fun! :D
What are your plans?
