The 777 Challenge

Challenged by the ever lovely Arielle. 

Rules:: 
• share 7 lines from the 7th page of one of your manuscripts
  • tag 7 bloggers

we are sharing a piece from Grace's book "To Rise or Be Struck Down".

   

           Jasper drew aside the curtain that served as our wall, and said, “Can I come in Scarlett?”
          “Certainly, Jasper,” I replied, without taking my eyes off my work. I hadn’t called him Jasp since the Held’s incident.
          He came in and sat down next to me. We sat there, in silence, for three or four minutes. I knew he’d say whatever was on his mind when he wanted to. For now, I was content to wait.
          “Scarlett, have you thought about all the families that have gone missing or been killed?”
          “I try not to.”
          “Listen,” he said, “I’m not trying to rouse up your griefs; I merely wanted to point out something I noticed. Have you realized that the four families that were killed or kidnapped all had one thing in common?”
          This caught me off guard. Something all in common? Well, they all came to terrible endings. But that couldn’t be it. Jasper was hinting at something bigger.

Favorite Blogs Blogroll

Hello everyone! Today we thought we'd share with you some of very favorite blogs that we read. :)

Drrrrrum-roll please!!

#1 on the list has to be The Clothes Horse. Rebecca has the loveliest red hair and all her outfit posts are so inspiring! My favorite post of hers recently is definitely her Gatehouse post. She's moving to Ireland to the most beautiful house I've ever seen!
As the title implys, this is a fashion/style blog, but her style is so timeless and adorable, that you'll just love her blog, even if you aren't too interested in her style. :)





 


#2 is called The Halfway Point. Erin is Australian, and her blog has the greatest inspiration for making your own clothes. Some posts are actually step-by-step instructions, and others she just shows pictures of her latest project. :) She also did a 365 day Polaroid camera journal....just...why don't you go look. :)



 

#3 is Wispy and Willowy, run by Maiya. She does all sorts of fun Etsy shop reviews, life posts, and a few DIY's. She's the sweetest girl and I'm so happy that I "internet met" her. ;) She hasn't been posting a ton lately because of school (I know that because I internet stalk her), but when she does post, they're the greatest. 


#4 Clover and Dot is def a must read blog for everyone. Kate does every type of post a blogger might need, plus awesome DIY's, and life posts! I've probably been reading her blog the longest out of any on this list. :) She lives down in Arizona, so it's really fun to see her posts about what it's like down there, since we live in the Minnesota/Wisconsin area! Anyway, her blog is great, and I highly recommend following it.

 




IMG_0202#5 is another style blog called Into the Woods. Alexandra is a Christian and it really is displayed through not just what she wears, but her writing as well, which adds to the beauty of her outfits. ;) She is also a photographer and just recently posted about how to get great photos. Love love love her blog...








 

#6 has to be Eve of Womanhood. Eve is fifteen and has so much insight on life and being a Christian. She mostly posts about her life, but her life is so fun, so the posts are never boring. ;) She does a few DIY's every once in a while. READ HER BLOG!





So, there are a few of our favorite blogs! Do you read any of these? What are some of your favorite blogs?


Happy Hump-day. ;)
