The Big B

July 18, 2013 7 Comments

I got this B. You know these letters, the ones you get at the craft store? They’re stiff cardboard and cheap. I bought a B for our last name.

Then DH painted it for me. He spray painted it blue. I liked it. He liked it. Not sure the dog liked it.

Then I decided to put some pictures of us on the B. I printed off pictures in black and white, but my printer did it in a sepia tone. I must have had a setting wrong or something. But I left them. I liked it this way.

I cut the pictures (each made to be between two and three inches) and Modge Podged them on.

Then I hung it in a weird corner. I think it looks right at home there.

    That’s a great idea! I would need a “B” too – but would be a fun thing to hang at the bottom of my newly painted stairway! I’ll have to look for one of those! Thanks for posting!

      They’re cheap at places like Michaels, but always get the coupon (they have 40% every week) because then you can get it cheaper. 🙂

    That is soooo clever! I am thinking that your dog does like it, btw. That would be a great project to do to document a special trip too.

      That’s a great idea, Cyndi. I can see you doing this with all kinds of different fabrics and beads.

    I saw your B someplace else and commented – Facebook maybe. I really love it.

    Did you check the ink status on your printer, Cherie? t sounds like you might be low on black ink. When the black is running out, the printer makes do with the colored inks.

      You know what? You’re right. I am low on black ink~! No wonder it printed like that. Well, I did like the way it came out but at least I know why it did that. Thank you!

The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

Cherie Burbach's writing is surprisingly vivid, this being her debut attempt. She can take you inside the character's mind within a span of words, all the things they're struggling with put bare before you. The prose isn't flowery, but gentle enough to nudge you into relating your traumas too, and heal as the characters do.

Loved learning more about art, and the community surrounding the people in the book. Couldn't wait for the next chapter and following the women in this story. I am hoping the author has a second book in mind, to continue the journey of Jane and Grace. I would recommend this to book clubs, so they could meet and discuss what they read and what they think will happen next.

A beautifully written story about the lives of two very interesting women who come together and form a life long bond. I love how this book is written. I found myself placed in the story like I was an innocent bystander watching each moment unfold and learning more about art than I ever thought possible. As the book ended, I found myself wanting more. My hope is that there is a 2nd book in the works so I can continue watching the friendships unfold and the lives of the main characters continue to grow!
