Treasures and Finds+ April Recap

Hello to all,

                        May is there and hopefully it means that the sun will be there more often than the rain but, so far, here rain is winning.
April has been a difficult month for me as my mother had a stroke and i've been taking care of her and the house,thankfully she is slowly recovering as it was a minor one however it left me quite stressed aside being busy....so i can hope May will get better and better in all domain.

Anyway thank you a lot for your patience and for your gifts and comments!

 Now let see how April was in more details.

Treasures and Finds+ February Recap

 Hello to all!

          already the last of February... time is really flowing and i did not get to enjoy it a lot since teh flu is really stron,g this year and beating me without problems^^. Fortunately i did manage to read anyway.
March is my birthday month so i do hope i will be able to enjoy it more and i know some friends are planning to make it great for me ( Thanks in advance!!) so for once i do look forwards it even if it's the middle of the Carnaval in my city ( at leats the music keeping em awake should offer me more reading time as well)


Hoewever since we are still in February for a few hours let see how the month went.

From Karina at Nocturnal book Reviews   and the author DB Reynolds( Thank you so, so much!!)

 a series i really wanted to start for a long time so finally i can!!

 GIFTED

Thanks Brenda!!! a lovely surprise that i was waiting for so long !! 

( now  i just need to get the rest of the trilogy ^^ because yes that series is already completely released! First step accomplished)

BOUGHT

none, i was stuck inside after all.

So on bookish side it has been a good month ( it is as long as i get a book^^) especially since it was title that i have been drooling over for years, and March will be fabulous so let's be happy.

On the crafting side, since i was not at top shape crafting was really low on my list but i did made a scarf and sent it ( now the postal service must deliver it safely and it's another matter)

 I did also receive some staionary as early birthday present ( thanks Roger!!!) and won some more with stickers from Lavender so i plan to send a lot of letter in 2015^^ better be ready ;)

Treasures and Finds+ January recap

Hello to all!!


                     So how did January go for you? Calm  or filled with excitement, rest or recovery?
 On my side i had the counter effect of my december run to finish everything so i'm fighting virus now but they have the upper hand at this time ... which means that if you have been waiting for an email from me  it will arrive but i'm lightly behind already^^;;  February will be better ;)

 But let start with what interest you the January recap and Treasures and Finds, which i will try to do monthly this year without forgetting^^;;

So  i did manage to read and post some reviews this month....and i made some discoveries.

TREASURES and FINDS

For REVIEW

Thanks Suzanne! ( the review won't be up before April when it releases so don't forget to pre order it when you can!)

WON

From Natalie at Book Lover's Life  ( Thank you so, so much!!)

From Jen Minkman on Carpe Diem ( big Thanks to Jen and Amber)

 GIFTED

Thanks Carien!

BOUGHT

none, i did try but the bookstore had none from my list ç_ç

So on bookish side it has been a good month, and for those new to my blog i do post only that i actually received ( i won one more but since it's not here yet it will be ( i hope) in the next recap).

On the crafting side, since i plan to craft more i will probably add a few note in my recap when i have something to say....this month was quite calm safe at the beginning but i did finish those i wanted to send in January, i'm working on a scarf for someone and ...even better.. the final christmas package was received!!!
Honestly i was starting to fear it was lost but it arrived with a delay of more than one month ( not good note to the postal service)

And it's a good news because it means that i will post sometime in february some pictures like i was asked for but even more important ( for you)....it means that i will be able to start working on those for 2015!! Some projets take weeks to be finished so i decided to start early so it could hopefully be received on time in 2015 so if you receive a message to ask for your favourite colors or topic etc don't be surprised;) ( i don't think i will be able to send more than 20 like this year but we never know)


 So how was January for you?
