Trust, true love, knowing one's self; these are all issues discussed in The Magic of Ordinary Days. The main character, Olivia, must decide where she belongs and whom she should love. Well-written, thought provoking, and with decidedly descriptive language, this novel stays with the one who reads it,

Lovely book. Beautiful Hallmark adaptation (2005).kortirion's review against another edition
I liked this book well enough but was disappointed that the story ended as soon as the main character realized she was in love. Life isn't a fairy tale, people. I would have liked to have seen the story continue--how did the community react when she had her baby? Truthfully, I guess romances just don't normally cut it for me.

Eh
It was a cute story but it was so slow and relatively boring when it had a lot of potential sadly.

I really enjoyed this book. I am drawn to information about WWII that doesn't involve the European front, but rather the Japanese front, the internment camps here in America and how the war was affecting people who weren't directly involved with the actual battles and troops living in their homes and cities. This story is about a woman growing to know herself, receive forgiveness and move on from death and pain and everything in between. I liked that a story about a persons life was written directly alongside a current event like the war. This is how our own lives happen everyday and her inner dialog really shows how the world around us really changes how we perceive things and decide who we are. The conclusion of the book was very good. The voice that lead me to understand that this book was Olivia talking abut her past really kept me on the edge needing to know the ending the entire time.

This isn't my normal type of book. I picked it because I am on a waitlist for others and it sounded interesting. I am so glad I came across it. I thought it was a great book.
The Magic of Ordinary
One of my go-to movies is, The Magic of Ordinary Days, based off the book by Ann Howard Creel and made into a Hallmark movie. I believe, we all have that movie we like to watch when we just want to be mopey, have a good cry or just want to have a feel-good moment. The plot of the story is not overly important to this blog post. What is important is the title: Magic of Ordinary Days. It is one that I have been thinking about for some time as I reflect and write about our everyday life for Indianapolis Moms Blog. Magic should be a part of every day, but does it have to be extravagant and planned out?
In addition to its use in quilting, Magic premium quilting and crafting spray is also ideal for a variety of other crafting projects. Whether you are working with paper, leather, foam, or other materials, this spray can provide a temporary bond that ensures your project stays securely in place until you are ready to permanently affix it.

Surrounded by Magic Makers
My college years were surrounded by artistic greatness. I went to a top art school, Ringling College of Art and Design and had the pleasure of witnessing young artists turn into amazing people. These are people creating the books I read to my son, the toys I buy, the movies we watch, acting in commercials for favorite products, teaching others the passion of creating and countless other creative outlets (festival poster artist, tattoo artist, painter, children’s programming creator, video game creators and even a monk). I am forever grateful to have known these people and be inspired by them. I try to take teachings I learned and continue to learn from them to apply to my everyday life.
Whether you are working with cotton, polyester, silk, or a combination of different fibers, this spray is suitable for use on all types of fabric. Additionally, it does not leave any residue or stains behind, which ensures a clean and professional finish on your projects. Furthermore, Magic premium quilting and crafting spray is easy to use.

Overall, Magic premium quilting and crafting spray is a must-have tool for any quilting or crafting enthusiast. Its versatility, compatibility with various materials, and ease of use make it an essential addition to any crafting supplies collection. Whether you are a professional quilter or a hobbyist, this spray will help improve the quality and durability of your projects while providing convenience and ease of use..
Reviews for "The Key to Precision Quilting: Magic Premium Spray"
1. Samantha - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic premium quilting and crafting spray. I had heard so many good things about it, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me. The spray nozzle was difficult to use and would often get stuck, leaving me with uneven coverage on my projects. Additionally, I found that it didn't provide the strong hold that I was looking for. My fabric pieces would still shift around, even after spraying them with this product. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it and I'll be sticking to my tried and true fabric adhesive instead.
2. Robert - 1/5 stars - This product was a complete waste of money for me. The Magic premium quilting and crafting spray left a sticky residue on my fabrics that was nearly impossible to remove. It ruined several projects that I had spent hours working on. The scent was also quite overpowering and gave me a headache every time I used it. I would not recommend this spray to anyone, especially if you're working on delicate fabrics or have a sensitivity to strong smells.
3. Lisa - 2/5 stars - I was really hopeful that the Magic premium quilting and crafting spray would be a game-changer for my quilting projects, but unfortunately, it fell flat. The spray did not provide a strong enough hold for my quilt layers, and I found myself constantly readjusting them. It also had a tendency to leave a residue on light-colored fabrics, which was frustrating. I'll be returning to my regular basting techniques and won't be repurchasing this product.
