this is only a little book, so I feel i'm cheating a little by adding it to my reading challenge list, but its so lovely I really wanted to write a review for it.

This was a present and a great one - the paintings are just gorgeous. the book itself has an expensive feel to the paper and a little red ribbon which is very pretty. It has a great collection of famous quips and sayings, along with Nel's own poetry and encouragement. The note from the author at the back is also a great touch and Nel is very eloquent.

highly recommend! :)
