A Scrap Quilter's Must Have!
An absolutely wonderful book! What quilter doesn't have scraps laying around that they "are going to use one day"? This book shows many ways to use these scraps and the quilts are beauiful. A real bonus to have in your library.

A must have..
This is a wonderful book. I bought it because I had previously bought a stash of 5" squares and thought this would give me some ideas for using them. The ideas in this book go well beyond that, though. By simply cutting your scraps into 5" squares, or cutting a couple of 5" squares when you use fabric for another purpose, you can develop a stash that can be easily used for these beautiful, easy quilts. I recently made a wall quilt from one of the patterns, and could not believe how easy it was. Not only that, but the technique for creating four-patch units produced perfectly matched seams, something I've had trouble with as a new quilter. As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, changing the color schemes used in the book gives an entirely different look for the quilts. The other thing I loved is the opportunity for easy creativity. By rotating some of the blocks, use of color, and designing my own border using their patchwork units, I made my quilt look entirely different from the example in the book (which was beautiful in itself). I can't wait to play around more with the ideas...I'm going to try making miniature quilts using these techniques...and using EQ5 (quilt design software) to play around with the different looks you can create by rotating the blocks. This book will keep me occupied for a long time...

Great Techniques!
I love the techniques taught in this book. Simple for beginners and great for experienced quilter's alike. Have recommended it to several friends who are teacher's.


No More Secrets, No More Lies: A Handbook To Starseed Awakening

The Starseed Bible!
I have traveled an amazing journey reading the three books of the Sirian Revelations, the trilogy of books from Patricia Cori
I found each one
riveting and full of incredible wisdom, complex at times, pure and simple at others - just a remarkable collection.

Thank you Patricia for your dedication to this important work you have undertaken, bringing to the world the wisdom of the Sirian High Council - you are helping turn up the light around the globe. We are with you, empowered by what you bring through, inspired by your courage and your light.

I can't say enough about this book, No More Secrets, No More Lies.
It is the ultimate truth for the awakening - those of us who are ready to hear and spread the music.

Starseed Awakening
If in your heart you know that "there are those...who have come into incarnation to stand for humankind and fight for Gaia...warriors all" and if you Remember that "when you decided to come into this earth adventure that blowing down the Establishment Walls would be a Herculean task ... but fall they would indeed" - then this book was written for you.

If Ken Carey's book 'The Starseed Transmissions' feels like an old and trusted friend, then you will welcome Patricia Cori's Sirian transmissions with a joyful oh-yes! recognition.

This book illuminates the current state of planet Earth and our progress toward the higher dimensions in consciousness with information on all the layers: the Anunnaki & Nibiru, imminent contact with the ET's, the dark forces, media manipulation, our food & water, the year 2012, the cosmic consequences of reconnecting our DNA, and much more.

It takes great courage to write a book like this and I thank Patricia Cori for doing so. I believe that 'No More Secrets, No More Lies' is the next book for the Starseeds - and you know who you are.

Excellent
Patricia Cori's latest book is excellent. It touches on a lot of things about our world that I've already intuited, and it builds on my own intuitions. With Cori's work, I feel that the information presented is well grounded as opposed to other channeled material. My humble opinion, of course.

I suggest reading her earlier work Atlantis Rising first, as it provides a good historical perspective upon which No More Secrets builds. The best thing about No More Secrets is that you walk away from it feeling a sense of hope for the future of our planet and our species instead of despair... something that is increasingly important in these interesting times.

Better than the First
Simply better than the first... and it's on my bookshelf now.

Stunning Photographic Work in Advertising
I got this book from a local bookstore. Only one was available and the cover was not in a very good condition. But I find the content stunning... the combination of photographs and no faults with the manipulations/modifications done could have easily fooled many in earlier days. Today we know such mastery is possible powerful computer software.

This book eye candy to me.

Eyecatching Effects and Stunning Ideas
Sometimes we come across advertisements (eg. posters) that catch our attention and make us wonder---"How REAL!!" and amaze us. This book is filled with wonderful pictures, carefully designed, composited, etc. with consideration of details such as shadows to make things realistic. Everything in the pictures blends well with other elements in the pictures. With the power of today's photo editing software, some of these may not be difficult to produce but for the rest, they seem like wonders to me. Imagination and skills are essential.

If you are in advertising and designing, it would be a great challenge to yourself to try to produce similar effects in the book. Or if you are just looking for a book that shows you great pictures in advertising, you will find this book to be an eye-candy. However, this book does not teach you how to produce the effects; which, I think is not the aim of the book.

I am happy to have a copy of this book.

Beautiful
Reading this book will make you feel happy, energized, and calm. It is easy to read and it clears your head. Never have I had this much peace of mind. If you are looking to help others or yourself, read this book and you'll feel wonderful.

A Reminder of How to lead our lives
This book reminded me that life isn't about the rat race. It is good to stop and take the time to appreciate those around you, to take in the energy that helps you through each day and to share the positive attitude you generate from a peaceful state of mind with others. I highly recommend this book for anyone in search of a little rest for the soul. It's an easy read with great suggestions about how to go within yourself to find peace rather than searching for it from others.

For all wishing to find inner peace and healing: a must read
Pat Upczak takes us through the steps of the Reiki process, but in so doing, she has also opened the doors and windows to her own life. Pat practices and shares with her readers the lifestyle she ahderes to and the spirituality she espouses. This book is not only a guideline, but also an insight into a master Reiki practitioner. It is an inspiration and a beacon for all.

THE #1 BEST BOOK ON RICKY
I have read everything there is to read about Ricky and I found this book the most interesting, inspiring, fun and cool. Get this one!

I would like to read it if I could get hold of a copy.
Please help me in obtaining a copy of Ricky's book coz i just LOOOOVE his music and him too. But I would like to know more about him. My name is Surie and I am from Lusaka, Zambia. in the Central part of Africa.

why do you have only young women in you show?
Ricky,

Why do you have only young women in you shows dancing with you. There are differnt type of women that buy your CD for their children. I think, personally that if you held a contest for a mother, as to why they allow or buy your CD for their child, you would have a larger audience. Why you ask because people would want to know! Anything that promotes you people will will listen to! I for example, am a 36 year old mother of three. Why would a person think that I would not like your music? You are a young person and if you would want your popularity to follow you then I personally think it would be wise to think not only of the young "teens" out there. I like your music, your voice, if I did not I would not let my CHILDREN buy your music. I know that this will not ever get to you personally befor your "agents" read it first, but you have to think of where the money is coming from for your success. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PLEASE A FAN? HAVE YOUR AGENTS WRITE BACK AND SAY WHAT? THANK YOU FOR INPUT. WHICH I HAVE CC TO MY OWN EMAIL. GOOD LUCK. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. A BUYER AND A FAN FROM MY DAUGHTER.

A Fabulous Read!!
Patricia McLinn delivers another fabulous read with Runaway Bride!! I loved this book! Packed full of LOL moments, romance, and fun twists, it hooked me for a one sitting read. I'm already looking forward to the next Patricia McLinn winner!

A new release from Patricia McLinn always has me
RUNNING FOR THE SHELF.

The Runaway Bride was a prime example of what this talented writer can do.

An amnesia story where no one forgets a thing...especially Judi Monroe. She's made mistakes in the past, mainly almost marrying a slug, but as she pretends to be Helga, the nurses aid, she finds her attraction to sexy rancher, Thomas Vance is anything but a mistake. And neither is acting on that attraction. As a matter of fact, it's just might be the most right-ish thing she's ever done. But can Thomas forget and forgive her deception or will this Runaway Bride be forced to walk away from the only man she could ever love?

A fantastic, fun read with memorable characters you'll fall in love with!

You won't be able to put The Runaway Bride down ---
...
As Judi Monroe fled from the church in all her wedding finery, all she could think of was getting away. Away from the man she was supposed to marry, to spend the rest of her life with. The words that she had over heard right before starting that long walk down the aisle kept echoing in her ears, "I just wish I knew if I'm about to watch Bonnie and Clyde getting hitched, or Mary Poppins being tied to Al Capone."

Judi saw the horse and rider loom up in front of her as she drove down the lonely Wyoming road. She was going to hit them! She swerved the car off the road and ran smack dab into a tree. As she came to, she slowly opened her eyes. She was staring into the greenest, sexiest eyes she had ever seen. She felt the heat from those eyes clear through her body.

Thomas Vance stared down at the girl in the wrecked car. She was slumped over and bloody. She was dead! Then her hazel eyes slowly opened and she looked up at him. Clear through to his soul. He felt himself being pulled into those eyes. But she was an outsider and Thomas knew all about what could happen when you let outsiders into your life.

"What's your name?" Thomas demanded.

"I don't know-----."

Patricia McLinn has created a wonderfully entertaining story in THE RUNAWAY BRIDE. It takes you from the sophisticated world of Lake Forest, Illinois to the rugged life of a ranch in the wilds of Wyoming. There couldn't have been more of a contrast between two people than there was between Judi Monroe and Thomas Vance. Would Judi and Thomas be able to put the past and their differences behind them and find true love? You won't be able to put THE RUNAWAY BRIDE down until you find out...

russia & beyond
An amazing eye opener. A side of Russia I never knew about, bright, colorful moving experience through 11 time zones of Russia and republics. A must coffee table title and a guide for any body who plans to go there.

Russia & Beyond
The photo's are amazing, the text and the maps are very informative. Covering such a huge territory is a great job done. Best I have seen.

Russia & Beyond
I did not know that Russia is as beautiful as its shown. I want to go there.

Exceptionally lucid and moving
I, too, read this book in one sitting. Abramson's exploration of memory is remarkable in its ability to convey entire universes of emotion and pain through a single detail. She retrieves those details despite the risks memory must pose and the temptation to forget, and presents them to the reader with empathy -- for us, for her family, and for the child she once was. Her approach to storytelling -- through snapshots and isolated scenes -- perfectly mirrors the personality characteristic that lies at the heart of her book: what happens when narrative, the way humans tell stories about themselves and make connections with others, breaks down. I was not quite the same person after reading this book. I highly recommend it.

Loved it!
Deb Abramson has written what we all need to read: the truth. By turns poignant and funny, this memoir brings us into the world of a girl with incredible insight and show us how she managed to grow up. It was so refreshing to read something real for a change, instead of the slick stuff we're too often fed. I highly recommend this book.

Poignant and Lyrical
Deb Abramson's memoir is beautifully crafted. She shares intimate family details with strong, descriptive writing. There are many well-chosen scenes and moments that will stay in your memory for a long time. When my husband and I finished chapter one, we had an argument about who was going to read the book first. Difficult to put down and inspiring to read.

Out of 15 books, it's still one of my favorites!
This is a great book and even though it's the second book in the series, it's still intriguing. Patricia Rushford started off the series very strongly and kept it going until Book 10. I liked all the characters, including Scott who is a "tree-hugger." Even if you don't agree with his viewpoint on saving the dolphins, you can still enjoy reading about him. I also liked the fact that Scott saves Jennie because it shows she's not perfect. I also felt very sorry for Sarah because she witnessed her father's death and was imprisoned in a world of quiet. She can't talk to anyone or show any expression when her mom shows sympathy to her. Overall, I love Jennie, I love her grandma, and I love the series!

Awesome
This book is the greatest ever. Jennie McGrady Mysteries are the best. Jennie is a good Christian role model.

Greatest Book !!
This book Is one of the best I have ever read.If you LOVE mysteries this is for you!!!

This is a great book! Learn to eliminate hyperactivity
If you want to learn how to really treat hyperactivity, the core issues and causes of hyperactivity, then this is the book for you. So many books only address the symptoms, but Drs Cook and O'Dell go for the underlying causes. And the treatments don't involve drugs, either! Kudos for your brave foray into an overworked subject using innovative and workable treatments.

An easy-to-read, thorough and very helpful problem solver!
This is a great book, very thorough in its evaluation of potential behavioral troubles and methods of helping to solve them. Drs. Cook and O'Dell really seem to place the children being treated as first and foremost in considering ways to alleviate their discomfort as a result of the reflex.

Their drug-free approach is simple to learn and requires only regular, concentrated effort and time to reap substantial rewards. Children and families will benefit greatly from their years of research and straightforward talk.

Highly recommended book. I look forward to getting the video!

Remarkable book with a drug-free treatment of hyperactivity
In this book, I have found a clearly written explanation of Hyperactivity and its' underlying causes. The book doesn't pretend to be the "cure-of-the-day." Instead, it sets the reader upon a path of discovery. Discovery that can eventually stop the behavior of hyperactivity altogether by changing deep-rooted and detrimental habits. All of this in a concise, 200-page, manual of exercises, diagrams, pictures, and instructions. Quite a remarkable work, indeed.
