“Choose joy on purpose”
I loved Sam’s bright and cheerful personality; her character’s funky outfits and genuine nature prompted me to want to add a little more color in my wardrobe and to not be afraid of what others would think. Although Duncan, was painted as a bit of a curmudgeon at first, I knew that in his heart that he was a good man just trying to do the right thing after something tragic had occurred. I will say, I saw the direction that Center’s was taking the story after just a few chapters and I think that had me swaying in Duncan’s favor. It filled me with hope, it made me laugh, brought tears to my eyes, and taught me a thing or two on perseverance. I recommend this to anyone who needs a little bit of joy and light in their life.
I sticking with the theme for the book, I thought it would be fun to create a cookie cake paint pallet. It’s super easy to make and would be the perfect addition to a birthday party!
