Fun on Friday: Glamour Video from the 40s

If you thought we were the only ones who were concerned with beauty and fashion, you are wrong. Today I'm sharing a vintage glamour how-to video that I found on Glamour Daze. Enjoy! And let me know what you think of the advice. Is there any you would change?

Ohio Brides has Landed!!!

Ohio Brides is arriving in people's mailboxes and on Wal-Mart's shelves. Yes, I jumped up and down when I saw it coverout on the shelf half a mile from my house! In honor of it's arrival, I'll give away two copies: one to someone who comments here on the blog and one to someone who comments on Facebook. if more than twenty people comment each place, I'll give away a total of four copies.

I love this cover! And the stories inside.

Three Ohio women seek God's promises for peace on the 1940's home front. Josie is a new bride struggling with dreams unfulfilled. Evelyn serves with the WAVES, but feels unappreciated. Kat becomes a professional softball player amidst criticism. Can each of them find love in such times of trial?

The video shows an engima machine...Evelyn worked on the project the broke the code :-)

Strength in a Generation

With the upcoming release of Stars in the Night and imagining next series, I'm reminded of the strength of the World War II generation. That was an amazing chapter in our nation's history. A time when everyone came together to work toward a common goal, regardless of where we lived. The stories of scrap metal drives, people saving their cooking grease, the victory gardens and rationing. Everywhere people changed how their lives were lived to fight toward a common goal.

Today, here's what I'd like to know....

When you think of the World War II generation, what do you think of? Now be honest...you might think, snore: that's ancient history. Or you might be captivated by the homefront...the Pacific Front...the European front...or a particular story. Inquiring minds want to know...Leave a comment today!
