#happyhandmade one hundred six… Angel Crafts Shop…

With all the 1st Anniversary excitement, i forgot to put up my #happyhandmade six picks last week – sorry.

So i am doing the last of the shapes craft picks, it’s got no edges but it is not a circle… It is Oval! This week’s picks will feature the oval shape. i like this shape because it is quite versatile and more exciting that circle 😉

Without further ado, here are my six picks for #happyhandmade one hundred six (please note that pictures are copyrighted by the creators of the items and i’m using them just to direct you to their shop – click on the pictures to see more):

One thing i think about when i think oval is face shape. i always remember it being used to describe people’s face shapes. What does oval remind you of?

Book Review: The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared… Jonas Jonasson…

i have been meaning to write this book review for a long time. A dear friend recommended i read this and it is a wonderful book!

100yearoldman_20150329i love the easy-to-read writing. i love the highly-improbable-yet-still-believable storyline. i love the amazingly quirky yet lovable main character, Allan Karlsson, who lived the most luck-filled and eventful life.  His companions on his journeys are equally strange and wonderful to get to know.

Every decision which Allan made, took him on an adventure, every adventure led him to incredible meetings with historical figures and enabled him to influence the route history took.

And all Allan ever wanted was a peaceful life. Instead he became involved in the making of the atomic bomb, he saved Churchill from an untimely death, he owed his life of luxury in Bali to Mao and much more.

This book is the relaxing read with a bit of history thrown in and a side of good humour to make it all go down as smooth as Allan´s favourite drink – vodka.

i will leave you to discover the rest of the book for yourselves… don´t want to ruin your fun 😉 i look forward to reading Jonasson´s other books 😀
