With everything going on recently it has taken me a tad bit longer to write the review for the book, "Petit Collage" than I had anticipated! BUT I am so excited to share with y'all my thoughts on it today!
Petite Collage's descirption overview reads as follows: "From the beloved design brand for nurseries, playrooms, and every space in between, Petit Collage shows you how to make 25 of their bestselling paper and wooden accessories for your home. Customize toy chests, create cheerful name plaques, build bunny clocks, and more, with artist and owner Lorena Siminovich. Breaking down each project with simple, illustrated step-by-step instructions, Siminovich presents easy tips on how to personalize the Petit Collage signature style with your child’s favorite colors and patterns. All you need are rubber stamps, paper, scissors, and the provided project templates to create a contemporary space filled with bright and distinctive décor. Whether you’re looking for unique paper toys or vibrant namesake prints, Petit Collage’s whimsical craft projects will inspire your children to put their little touch and big imagination into your family home. " (description found here)
I would definitely say that the description is exactly what is described. The crafts that are shown throughout the book are easy and simple to follow and the tips that are presented help the reader have the opportunity to personalize the craft for themselves. I would highly recommend this book and believe that it will be a delightful craft book that you would definitely enjoy!

First book on Prayer and Lyme Disease released
Praying Through Lyme Disease, by:
Rebecca VanDeMark, MPA
At a recent Lyme Disease conference it was
stated that “Lyme Disease is the growing epidemic and health crisis of the 21st
century”. While not well known and maybe not well handled there are hundreds
of thousands of Lyme Warriors that struggle each day just to live. Many of
them cannot get out of bed due to extreme and debilitating fatigue and pain.
Many are lying in hospital beds with doctors who don’t know what to do. Many
others are struggling emotionally under the weight of loss. Many others feel
completely isolated and forsaken. In the midst of all of this there is a voice
and a helper that calls through the dark night and says that He will never
abandon or forsaken us. But in the midst of sickness and pain it is hard to
sometimes know how to pray through the scriptures of the Bible.
“Praying Through Lyme Disease”, written by
Rebecca VanDeMark, is a thirty-one topic prayer devotional for those fighting
Lyme Disease and their loved ones. Spoken from a heart of compassion and
understanding, Rebecca understands the Lyme Disease journey well as she saw over
273 medical practitioners before being correctly diagnosed with Advanced Late
Stage Lyme Disease.
Rebecca states in her introduction, “The book
that you hold in your hand has been written from my heart. I found out I had
Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease the day after my 33rd birthday. For
the previous six years prior to that day I had experienced a myriad of
intricate and confusing health symptoms that never made sense to any doctor. I
had spent hundreds of hours traveling across the United States talking and
consulting with some of the best in the country. No answers came and I was
eventually told that either (a) this was “in my head”, (b) I had a very
“complex case” of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (for which I had been diagnosed for)
or (c) “stress was contributing to these issues”. Finally, after seeing 273
doctors in one year, seven years of searching, hundreds of invasive and painful
tests, and thousands of prayers, I was correctly and accurately diagnosed with
Advanced Late Stage Lyme Disease. While my family and I rejoiced that there was
finally an answer, I also experienced a range of emotions as I was furious with
the medical community and overwhelmed with where to go from that point on.”
“Praying Through Lyme Disease” can be
purchased where books are sold, including Amazon. "Praying through Lyme Disease" (ISBN: 978-0692299340) is an 82 page prayer devotional. Rebecca VanDeMark can be

Happy Monday y'all!
Even as I am sitting here writing this I am humbly thanking the Lord for His strength in helping me complete this project. This was a book that resonated deep in my heart and was written out of a love for those struggling with Lyme Disease and this journey of walking this difficult and painful path. I started writing this book over a year and a half ago ... writing on slips of paper, napkins, medication bags, etc... and in a variety of different places... in hospitals, doctors offices, the hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions, etc. Finally after several months of writing out those snippets of prayers and precious Bible verses I combined everything into a book that is a heartbeat and passion of mine throughout this illness... praying through Lyme Disease.
This little book is designed with 31 topics that Lyme Disease patients struggle with and verses to meditate on and pray through in times of difficulty and in good days. This book is meant to be a companion and an encouragement to all who are struggling with Lyme Disease and the intensity of their fight!
Well I am SO excited to announce that it is OFFICIALLY released as of TODAY!! You can purchase it in book form or on Kindle and you can click HERE to purchase it!
Thank you so much to ALL of you that have been walking this journey with me in prayer! TRULY you are a blessing!!
With Love,
If you are interested in a altered journal or a custom order feel free to check out my shop or email me for details!
Happy Wednesday friends! I hope you have a wonderful day!
