I doubt that was ever done for any I read, it was just "well, we've always used this one" even though it was in no way appropriate for our age.<br /><br />Ages ago you asked what program I used to frame my pregnancy photos... I make my own frames in Photoshop using different brushes I have either made or downloaded. I just like that there is no other photo out there with the same frame. A lot of them are similar to ones I've seen in picnik photos but I like to think that mine is the equivalent of "handmade" compared to store bought, a stretch I know but I'll stick with it :)Mummy McTavishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971283362730213835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079247643898747934.post-73411782051453010182009-10-25T23:41:48.282-04:002009-10-25T23:41:48.282-04:00I LOVE this book.

Your students are really going to enjoy this. There will be so much to talk about and so many neat activities you can do with this book. Sigh, this is when I miss teaching. Reading and discussing books was my favorite thing to do! Have fun and I'm glad ya'll have more class sets of novels!!!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415951305715540181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079247643898747934.post-70360914787262313202009-10-24T21:30:50.116-04:002009-10-24T21:30:50.116-04:00Thank you for the recommendation.

I have just read several reviews and like you, they have all given glowing reports.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see your students reaction to the book.<br /><br />When I was their age all I wanted to do was fit in and keep a low profile. Now I can see the benefits of being an individual and not "playing small" as Marianne Williamson's quote always reminds me. <br /><br />I hope to always cheer for both sides as this reviewer stated:<br /> <br />"But Stargirl cheers for every touchdown and basket (even the other team's), and this completely baffles the student body and then turns them against her". <br /><br />I am really pleased you are on a literary kick Roban!<br /><br />Hugs<br />Peg xxxxmiruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079247643898747934.post-43618616011294295572009-10-23T07:15:42.459-04:002009-10-23T07:15:42.459-04:00Thanks for the suggestion.
