Finally Some Art






ATCs made from a book/newspaper
 
 
 
Long time no art for me my friends!  I am hoping to change that though.  Do you like my ATCs made from a magazine?  They were really fun to make!  I am sending these off in the mail for a Facebook ATC group that I belong to.  This is my first swap in this group.  I hope I am up to snuff with my work.  

What are you working on?

"Need You Now"
Part 2
by
Beth Wiseman
 
 
Have you been hanging on the edge of your seats for part two of this book?  Sorry I am slow in posting this.
 
We left part one with something bad that happened to Grace.  Brother Chad has agreed to keep her secret.  Skylar really wants to be friends with Grace.  But why?
 
Special student, Cara,  thinks that Darlene is now her mother. 
 
Darlene and Brad find out about what Grace has done.  Chad is in hot water for keeping it a secret.
Brad thinks that this wouldn't have happened if Darlene wasn't working.  Darlene quits her job to be where she is needed, home. 
 
Skylar and Grace have a common issue they both have been through.  Grace agrees to get counseling for her problem. 
 
Darlene bumps into Cara's dad, Dave at Walmart.  He wonders why she left working with Cara.  They leave together and Darlene fills him in on what happened. 
 
Friend of Darlene, Layla shows up at church one Sunday.  What a shock!  Layla is back to seeing the light.  They decide they are friends for life. 
 
Once again Darlene runs into Dave.  She finally allowed herself to admit it.  Dave was hitting on her. 
 
Darlene hears Brad talking on the phone and thinks he is having an affair.  Why would he do this? 
 
Dave gets a little too close for comfort with Darlene. 
 
A bad accident happens to Layla.  She ends up in a coma.  Will she come out of it and be ok? 
 
Darlene confronts her husband.  Is he guilty as charged?
 
This book sure isn't your usual Beth Wiseman amish book.  I am happy I got to read her everyday type of family book.

"Need You Now:  Part 1"

By

Beth Wiseman



This is no Amish book for Beth Wiseman.  This is a story about a common family with struggles in life.

The way the book started, I thought that Darlene, the main character, was going to be attacked by a burglar.  Not the case.  Neighbor, Layla comes to the rescue and later becomes a friend.

Darlene and her family moved out of big city Houston to a rural area, actually living in her grandparents farm house.  This move was what her kids needed Darlene felt.

Chad, Ansley and Grace must adjust to their new life in the country.  Darlene feels the need to take a job working with a special needs child at a nearby school.  All of the kids and husband Brad will have to pitch in to make it work for her. 

Darlene is to work one on one with a girl named Cara.  Cara certainly has issues that she needs help with.  Cara's father meets Darlene and questions if Darlene is qualified to take care of Cara.  Darlene seems to have a touch and gets through to Cara.  Cara and her dad even come to Darlene's house to see chickens. 

Grace meets fellow student Skylar.  Skylar picks up on a problem that Grace has right away. 

Neighbor friend, Layla is actually someone famous and Darlene didn't even catch on to that when they met.  Layla invites Darlene to a high class fundraiser for the school Darlene works at.  Cara's father, Dave is there also.  Turns out Layla and Dave know each other. 

Darlene learns that Layla has a sad past and blames God for what happened. 

Grace learns of something a boyfriend from Houston has done.  Grace deals with this in her own way.

Here ends part 1 of "Need You Now."
