Some Exciting News!

Hello!

Guess what???  I have the privilege of contributing to the Generation Gazette!  The Generation Gazette is a blog newspaper in the fictional town of Generation created by Storyteller.  She just decided that she would open up the spaces for the "staff" to other bloggers.  I am "Google," the photographer.  I will find pictures through the internet and Pinterest.  Which brings me to some MORE exciting news!  I got a Pinterest account!!!!!!!  I have been asking my mom for awhile, and she finally let me get one!  Click here to see my boards.  I am having so much fun finding cool recipes, crafts, funny stuff, and everything else!  Tomorrow, I will be participating in The Vintage Apple's "Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday!"  I'm super excited!

Have a great afternoon!

A Break and Ice Skating

Hello!

I am so, so happy!  It is FINALLY Thanksgiving break!  I have been counting down the days for the last month!  I am so happy to have days off ALL WEEK LONG(!!!!) and we plan to do lots of fun things!

Do you like my new background?  I think it's really cute!  I love the little turkeys!

Do you have any special plans for Thanksgiving?  We will probably be at home, and we will make our special Thanksgiving feast.

We got hockey skates this year to go skating on natural ice, and a local outdoor rink.  The natural ice hasn't formed yet, so we went skating at the outdoor rink last week, and had a great time.  Here is a picture of my hockey skates:
I found this picture off of the internet.  See all of the silver and gold detailing?  I'm going to use a marker and color them blue!  Won't that look cool?  We're also going to make blade covers using pipe insulation and duck tape.  Lindsay has some fancy duck tape, and hopefully she'll let me use some. :P  I'll post pictures of my fancy ice skate/marker job, and my blade covers when we've made them.  I can't wait to go skating again tonight!

Have a great day!

The Winner!

Hello!

Thank you so much to my new friend, Olivia!  Wow, 39 friends!  Thank you so much everyone!

So.... Only my sister Lindsay entered my giveaway.  Which is great for her, because she wants a new blog design for her blog Stories By Me!  I'm wondering if you didn't enter because you didn't want a blog design, or if you didn't want to create a conversation for the Barbies.  Please comment and let me know for future giveaways.  So...


Congratulations, Lindsay!  To claim your design, please go to Emma's Design Blog and comment to let her know so that she can start designing for you!

Lindsay's Barbie conversation:


ELLIE (PINK SWIMSUIT): Oh, it's so nice to relax in the pool!
STEPHANIE (YELLOW SWIMSUIT): Oh, I know.  I've been so busy with work, I haven't had a chance to relax lately.
ELLIE: I'm so glad that we could come here together.
STEPHANIE: Yes, me too, but I better get going.  Nice talking to you!
ELLIE: Bye!

Great job, Lindsay!  Enjoy your prize!  Here is a button to put on your blog:

...And I'm a Homeschooler.

Hello!

Haha!  Do you like my title?  Thank you so much to my new friend, Lindsay!

For the last few weeks, I've been having REALLY GREAT school days (not that they were bad before, it's just been ESPECIALLY good! ;).  I just wanted to tell you what's been going on.  I have been getting up in between 6:45 and 7:30.  At first it was really hard for me to get back in the routine from summer, but it is getting much better.  Also, I have a little tiny advantage with the 'Fall Back' of time, so I've been tricking my body into getting up at 6:30 instead of 7:30.  It's been working great!  My estimated time of finishing school each day is around 12:30.  I then have time to do fun stuff before I go to dance, and I've been able to post quite frequently!  There are so many advantages to homeschooling.  Last Tuesday, both Lindsay and I finished our school very early, and we got to go an a family hike with the dogs.  It was so great.  

I personally feel like I get a much better education than I would if I was in public school.  I also like that my curriculum is 'Self-Guided.'

Through another blogger named Emily Sacra (she is a 16 year old homeschooler), I found a really awesome YouTube channel called BlimeyCow.  Their videos are SO FUNNY!!!!  They also have good messages, but they are portrayed with humor.  Please check them out!

If you've ever been interested in homeschooling, and your parents have time, I would highly recommend trying it.

Have a great day!

PicMonkey!!!!!!!!!

Hello!

So, the other day, I figured out how to REALLY work PicMonkey.  It is SO MUCH FUN!!!  Since then, I've been editing photos and making random buttons.  I've always admired Storyteller's designing, and she really inspired me to try designing myself. (Thank you, Storyteller!)  So, I've created a new page showing what I've designed.

Recently, McKenna from McKenna's Purple Sky asked me if I could design a header and button for her blog.  If you want a button, header, or background, let me know, and I will design something for you!  Please go check out my page to see everything I've designed, and check out McKenna's Blog to see the header and button I designed for her!

Have a great day!

Halloween!

Hello!

How was your Halloween?  I had a lot of fun, and I hope you did too!  We got to carve pumpkins, roast pumpkin seeds, dress up, and trick-or-treat!  I carved 3 1/2 pumpkins.  One for me, one for our friend's shop (he wanted us to help decorate by carving pumpkins!), half of Lindsay's for our friend's shop, and Lindsay's 'personal pumpkin.'  I LOVE carving pumpkins, and I have been declared the family pumpkin carving expert!

McKenna from McKenna's Purple Sky came up with this really fun quiz about your Halloween.  So, I thought it would be fun to take it!  Here we go!



Halloween Questions from McKenna:

-Did you get a lot of candy?

Yes!!!


-What was your costume for Halloween?

Pajama Girl.  I wore fleece Hello Kitty PJs, rollers in my hair, a little sleeping mask, and some fun and funky slippers!


-Who did you trick-or-treat with?

My sister, mom, dad, and grandma.


-Did you carve a pumpkin?

Yes.


Do you like to eat pumpkin seeds?

Yes!  This year, we made a 'savory' batch and a 'sweet' batch.


Did you decorate your house?

Yes.  We did more of a harvest theme.


What is your favorite kind of candy?

CHOCOLATE!!!  My all time favorite are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.


Did you get your favorite candy for Halloween?

Yes!  I got 8 Reese's!


Did anything scary happen to you?  If so, what happened?

Not really...




Thanks, McKenna!  That was so much fun!  Here are some Halloween pictures:

Lindsay and I trading candy after trick-or-treating.  We like to trade every year.  If there's something I like of Lindsay's, then I try to make her a deal with my candy to get it; vice versa.  We have a lot of fun with that!

I would love to hear about your Halloween!  Have a great night!
