Shared links and wonderful friends =)

I asked a friend of mine to help me reach a few more people who might be interested in helping me create beautful works and touching others with my princess inspired woodwork designs. Let me just say, I am so thankful and pleased that she cares for me enough to post on her blog with such encouraging words. =)
She and her family are such a blessing to know, and her kids are truly amazing, fun-loving and creative. I invite you to check out her blog as well, and get to know her wonderful family a bit. ;) They are just awesome miracles and friends.  =D <3

Literary Tag!

01. A fictional character you identify with and why.
If I were to be honest, I would say Marianne Dashwood. I tend to lean heavily towards the dramatic side of things, though not as openly expressed as she tends to be, and while I’m not a hopeless romantic, I find myself daydreaming about random things more times than I care to count. We both have a love of nature, as I’d much rather spend my time exploring the country-side than doing my chores. That, combined with the fact that we both LOVE the piano and singing…and the fact that I’ve been told multiple times that I look and play like the new BBC version’s Marianne (perhaps more from some angles than others)…I think the identification is complete. Lol.  =)


02. Your earliest memory of reading or being read to.
 Hmm. I remember acting out stories in 1st grade with my class, as the teacher read them. Does that count? =)

03. Your favorite book aged 9 ½, or 13 ¾, whichever you remember best.
Haa haa! At that age, definitely the American Girl series. I think Felicity was always my favorite. I love the Colonial era and all the etiquette stuff. ;)


04. The book that’s been on your shelves the longest.
Oh my… um…I would think it would be the American Girl books.

05. A book you acquired in some interesting way.
I received a copy of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense after taking a tour around Historic Philidelphia with Timothy Matlock and Thomas Paine. =) (it was a re-enactment) It’s probably not all that interesting, but it’s the best I got. Lol.

06. A book with a story for you, that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time). Hmm… I have a 1929 copy of Little Women that I bought at an antique store in Strasburg Pennsylvania on a trip with my grandparents, as well as an 1817 copy of Schiller's William Tell in German. That was an awesome trip! And a really cool buy. ;)


07. What fictional character are you (secretly) in love with.
Hee hee. I have several actually. But I shall not tell. At least on this post. =D

08. The last book you acquired, and how (begged, bought, borrowed?)
The last book I acquired is called Waterfall, by Lisa T. Bergren. I actually have not read it yet, because it was a co-buy with a friend and I let her read it first. Lol. But I've read the prologue and 1st chapter...so I'm exicted to read it now.


09. Your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next.
My current read…well I have two. Haa haa. One is The Fellowship of the Ring, and the other is Les Miserables. My last read is one of my many Nancy Drew books. I had a few that I hadn’t even read yet. (I found out the other day there are about 175 in the Mystery Stories series…let’s just say, I’m not sure I’m gonna collect all of those. Haa haa). The book I’ll read next is The Two Towers. I’ve read them before, but I felt I should read them again, as I was pretty young the first time around.




10. What author do you own the most books by and why?
Hmmm. Tolkien. I have at least 3 copies of Lord of the Rings series. Don’t ask. =)

(More questions coming soon!)

An Introduction...

At this point in time, I am a 17 year old southern girl who loves to sing, act, and write. I am small in stature, fun-loving and energetic, musical no matter the time of day, and an avid reader. I am rarely seen without a book in my hand, or a song on my lips. =) What I lack in height, I hope I make up for in personality, but that can be for you to decide. ;) I am a Christian, a follower and believer of Jesus Christ, and though I may not have all the answers and I am certainly not perfect, I know that He has saved me from my own selfish sins and I am so thankful when I think of what He did for me. I pray that as I write on this blog, it will be for His glory and that you will see His love shining through me.
This blog is kind of multi-purpose. I will be posting my random musings and favorite things on my Home page, as often as I can. Hopefully they will not bore you to tears. ;) But aside from that, I will also be giving updates on my newest venture, Timeless Enchantments Entertainment, the start of my own company. =D The gist: I will be a fairytale character performer, and will be available for birthday parties and other activities for children and families in and around the Charleston area. At this point, it is still quite new as there are many things that need to be done before I can fully start up, so you can check for updates on my website, www.timeless-enchantments.com. I'm uber excited about it. =)
One more thing will be posted on this blog, as sort of a side business, yet still linked with the other one. I'm going to be making customized wooden wall letters, and will be taking on commissions as well as selling a few ready-made. Pictures and descriptions will be posted on the page, Treasures of the West Wing. They can spell anything you like: your name, your favorite movie, characters, or anything that strikes your fancy. =)
So, that's about it for the basic introduction and run-through of what this blog is about! I'm so excited to share my thoughts and adventures with you! I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy posting them!
**If you ever wish to send me an email about parties, letter commissions, or even just to chat, please do so at kaylamariemiller17@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from my fellow bloggers and lovely readers!**
In Christ,
Kayla Marie
