I’ll have to attend a birthday party on this weekend at some local <a href="https://eventup.com/venues/san-francisco-ca/" rel="nofollow">event space San Francisco</a> and I would like to gift such a colorful DIY cake for my friend.

Unfortunately due to my grandmother's funeral I wasn't able to be at the event but other Sleuth members in the local AZ area were. If you were able to go or have any interest, our local Nancy Drew Sleuths meet up every other month at the Chandler Fashion Mall's Barnes and Noble store near or in the Cafe inside for our Nancy Drew book discussion group. Lots of fun. Our next meeting is May 29 (Sat) at 1pm, discussing books 12 and 13 in the classic series (Hollow Oak and Ivory Charm).<br /><br />www.ndsleuths.com<br /><br />Jenn:)Jenn Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009283572472491086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-44461678877931160362010-04-26T16:25:36.099-05:002010-04-26T16:25:36.099-05:00Good luck with that ambition, Kris!

The first mystery I ever read, at the age of ten, was <i>The Secret of Shadow Ranch</i>, the revised version. It was love at first read, and I grabbed up every Nancy Drew book I could find after that. And 40 years later, I still have them... along with some of my other favorites, like Judy Bolton and the Dana Girls.Dean Jameshttp://www.catinthestacks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-30013006177479648842010-04-24T18:11:41.265-05:002010-04-24T18:11:41.265-05:00Ingrid,

What makes it so memorable is that Judy was diagnosed with a brain tumor at approximately the same time. None of us knew if she would survive (this was over 50 years ago). But I kept bringing her Nancy Drew books and little by little she was able to read and understand them again. She eventually made a full recovery and told me years later that she just had to keep going in order to see if she had figured out the mysteries correctly. I still have some of those Nancy Drew books in my library today.Anonymoushttp://photoquoteinspiration.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-28878805399748994602010-04-24T09:33:07.532-05:002010-04-24T09:33:07.532-05:00Lesa, that party sounds like so much fun.

I still have my first Nancy Drew, THE HIDDEN WINDOW MYSTERY, and I just got up to see if it was inscribed. Yes. My name is in the front, written in my best cursive and my mom had written that I received it for my 10th birthday from my aunt and uncle. My parents did not give me books, but I received them as gifts from relatives and friends and my old friends are still housed here, treasured.<br /><br />My favorite Nancy Drew is probably THE HIDDEN STAIRCASE. For some reason, I just loved the idea that there would secret passages and stairs in the walls. I know I went around my grandparents house knocking on the walls looking for secret room. My grandfather assured me that there were none, as he had built the house, but I wasn't convinced!
