Feezing's Profile

Let me begin by saying "I LOVE CHILDREN'S BOOKS!" Ok, now that I've got that out, I would also like to add that I also still continue to buy them now at 43 years of age. My family always encouraged the love of reading and my father would buy me books. My all time favourite and not mentioned in any of the posts (I checked through all of them but could have missed it) is everything by Enid Blyton. I still dream of living in The Faraway Tree and going to Birthday land, which you can only go to when it's your birthday. I still have the full set of The Faraway Tree series in my collection, which I read from time to time. I also love all the Dr. Seuss books and my favourite is "Oh, the places you will go" which I give to friends when they graduate or are going through a rough patch in their lives. It never fails to uplift my spirits. For a more contemporary choice, I love the stories and the beautiful illustrations of books by Oliver Jeffers, my favourite one being "The Incredible Book Eating Boy".

My nieces and nephew love coming to my home because they all sit in a pile on the day bed in my library and read my collection of children's books that range in stories for the very young to teenagers. My favourite to collect are stories of dragons, fairies, magic, popup books and all that makes my imagination soar. Of course, I do have "grown up" books that I collect and read but nothing puts a smile on my face then when reading a story about magic.

Hi! I love strawberry shortcake and miss eating it from when I lived in the States many years ago. Interested to try the recipe so could someone tell me what 1 and a half sticks of butter is equivalent to in weight measurements? Most countries don't sell butter in sticks! Thanks.

I think this home is amazing for its architecture, aesthetics, and for the people who live here making it look like people live here and love doing so. And that sunlight coming in through the windows and hitting the palms is really pretty... And let me not get started on that beautiful bedroom and bed. Everyone has mentioned the beautiful ceiling but I have to give a shout out to that beautiful terracotta tiled floor. Sigh...
