Comment: What beautiful artwork on your Zine! At first I thought you had printed it on the paper and then I looked closer and realized you had drawn them. Right now I am working on a plastic canvas angel from a cross stitch pattern. A friend just gave me the book "A Life In Parts" by Vicki Bennington. She said once I start reading it that I will not be able to put it down. If you like historical fiction, may I recommend the "God & Kings Chronicles" by Lynn Austin. It is a 5 book series and I read thru them in no time. Another 3 book series I recommend is "The Mark of the Lion" by Francine Rivers. hope you enjoy them. blessings, ellie
