I Always Dreamed of Having a Library {CSI Case File No. 109}

Our first February Case File is a bold, happy one:


Here's my page. I'm so bad at taking selfies, but with no one around to photograph me in my library, that what I had to resort to.

Clues I used...Evidence: book pages, silver accents, birds, stack something, use heat, frames, greenery; Testimony: journal about your reading.


Here are some details: Papers I used are by Reminisce (green periodic table); really old Ki Memories (blue); Jillibean Soup (red dot); BasicGrey (letters); really old Scenic Route (leaves). The chipboard is by 2Crafty.


I've had this silver frame in my stash FOREVER. It has little prongs on the back that poke through the paper. That's a Studio Calico wood veneer bird that I heat embossed with red powder.


I used a Tim Holtz mask with texture paste mixed with yellow paint for those letters in the background. I used my heat gun to dry it, and it kind of bubbled up--looks cool.


I cut out the "Library" word with my Silhouette Cameo. The red letters are by Lily Bee. 


My journaling, on the back, reads: I always dreamed of having a library. Reading has forever been a passion of mine. When I was a kid, we pretty much had no books in our house. I knew when I grew up, I would fill my house with books. And fill my house I did. In our last house, we dedicated a spare bedroom to be the "library," and Farzad installed shelves on all the walls. They were just plain brackets with shelves on them--not very attractive, but they served their purpose. They quickly filled up, and as I acquired more books, stacks sprouted on the floor of that library and grew until there was barely any room to even walk.

When we found the new house we fell in love with, it had a library on the main floor, and I knew that I would finally have a "real" library. Before we moved, I trimmed down my library to only my very favorite books and donated the rest. We bought some pretty glass-front bookcases from Ikea, and Farzad put them together, and he even added lights on top of the shelves. We have a desk in there that looks out the front window and a giant, wall-sized map of the world. My bearded dragon has a home in there too. It's warm and cozy and has just the feel of a library I always dreamed of.

Yes, I always dreamed of having a library, and my dream finally came true.

What a wonderful story, and what a wonderful page! I am always so inspired by your designs. Your attention to detailing is absolutely amazing, and I love how much you incorporate older items into your designs. Love that you embrace everything without worrying about what's "new". Love what you did with that old metal frame. Really love the modeling paste background, too. It's all gorgeous!

Protein is a term to get a mix of proteins.

That is when you supplement with protein, you are supplementing amino acids why.
Amino-Acids are the blocks of muscles. Without adequate proteins, the body
can't expand and muscles atrophy will occur.
You'll find essential and non-essential amino acids.


Essential amino acids (EAA's) cannot be produced by the body and has to be digested (isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine,
phenylalanine, histidine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine), while all
other amino acids can be produced by the body.

Protein supplements originate from four main sources: whey, casein, soy, and ovum,
though virtually every food has protein. They change when it comes to most of all, expense, supplier, and structure, digestion pace.

Whey is really a fast-acting protein and on the other end of the selection,
casein will be the slowest in absorption. Glutamine products are frequently overkill as glutamine
precursor amino-acids are rich in whey rattles.


DEXTROSE:

This is one of the best post-workout products that not
many instructors discuss about (or learn about.) You may not also believe it is in
shops very often. But, this is the great issue to consume
post-exercise due to the proven fact that it is a quick-absorbing carbs.
It'll restore muscle glycogen levels and help your muscles
recover following a hard exercise. (The quicker they could recuperate,
the higher chance they have to cultivate.)

BCAA (BRANCHED CHAINED PROTEINS):

These are best to consider before and after your exercise.
Strong exercising is known to break down BCAA's so it's important to recover these ranges
through supplements. In case your body is lower on BCAA's
it's planning to be harder for you to obtain lean
muscle size.

DAA (D-ASPARTIC ACID):

You know that men with higher testosterone levels have
the ability to create muscle quicker and easier. If you like to enhance your natural To levels, N-Aspartic Acid is one of the finest supplements to take.


L glutamine:
build muscle fast supplements (http://bestsupplements2buildmuscle.com/)
There are many finest complement to build muscle easily.
You can develop excellent and critical muscles if you eat the musclebuilding supplements totally which can enhance your energy and adjust
your body structure. You'll be able to obtain the huge arms or sixpack
abs if you keep the fundamental musclebuilding principle.

You've todo the proper exercises, diet and consume finest supplements which might be proposed.
You will possibly not be able to obtain your target by simply
wasting often while in the gymnasium. Nevertheless, if you would like to build muscles speedily along with other forms
of routines as well it's to be performed. You must pay a special focus on your fitness regimen if you want
to observe potent and effective benefits.

Just like BCAAis, hefty weight training places a demand on your body for
proteins like L-Glutamine. Supplementing with this won't
just help your muscles recover faster, nevertheless it's already been
demonstrated to assist in protein activity
AND boost your plasma HGH (Human Growth Hormones) levels,
which will certainly impact on muscle results.
