Customer Reviews

beyond beautiful

One of the most beautiful books I've ever had the pleasure of owning ~ and beyond the gorgeous art that graces each and every page ~ this is a book filled with the most authentic heartfelt sentiment that reminds you that you too can do it, not only live a full creative life but also recognize your own "Ordinary Sparkling Moments" within it.

Sparkling Inspiration

As a fan of Christine's artwork I was highly anticipating the arrival of her book. Each page is it's own piece of artwork and her words weave the story of her journey to being an artist. It is a love letter to any and all of us on a creative journey of our own. She shares her highs, lows, raw emotions, wise words and life lessons on her journey in a way that resonates with the reader. I find myself opening to a random page each morning and finding inspiration to take with me all day. This is a book that will live on your nightstand and that you will want to share with your friends.

A Must Have Must Read Book

First a disclosure: I have known the author for many years and have witnessed her strength and creativity first hand. She really has gone through the lengthy list of life's tougher issues described in this remarkable book. I find the book to be an inspiration. Christine is willing to offer to us her inner perspective on coping with dark times and then her approach to regaining optimism in the ups and downs of her very full life. In addition to the insightful writing, which is drafted in a way that can be read repeatedly to find new meaning each time, each page is it's own individual unique piece of art. Just beautiful. This book will stay on my nightstand for a long time.

Mason Miller shares her Art, life and experiences with so much generosity and tenderness, that you can't help but connect and listen to your own heart beat, as you read her words. Ordinary Sparkling Moments is not only a book, but also a marvelous, gentle friend and companion. You'll simply love it!

Extraordinary

Ordinary Sparkling Moments is anything but ordinary. It is Extraordinary! Every page is stunning and artfully created, and with each word, Christine lets you into her private world as an artist and a woman. Her courage to share her journey and words of wisdom has inspired and empowered me to seek my own truth. Ordinary Sparkling Moments enlightens and embraces the artist inside all of us, while intertwining our everyday world. This gorgeous morsel has reminded me that there are sparkling moments happening every day in our lives - all we have to do is open our heart and our eyes. This book is a wonderful gift for yourself, or to share with your friends, and loved ones. It is truly a treasure!
