No, I did NOT fall off the face of the earth.

Hi!

So maybe some of you are kinda wondering where I was???  Or maybe not.  I don't know.  But I'm gonna tell you either way. :P

I haven't posted for nearly a month *gasps* and a lot has changed!  First and foremost, I am now going to public school!  I know, surprising, right?  So that's sorta like the main reason why I haven't been posting.  I've been busy, but it's so worth it!!  I really like my classes (woodshop is by far my favorite!!), and it's been great! :)

So.... instead of trying to 'catch you up' on everything, I'm just gonna start right now!

I have some more big news.......

I will be shutting down my blog designs for a while.  I've just been too busy, but I'll hopefully start it up again in the future.  If you have ordered a design from me and are still waiting, I have some great girls you can go to.  Here'a a few great designers:





Make sure to get in touch with these girls if you're in need of a design. :)

Well, I'm going to cut this post a bit short because I'd better get working on a new autumn design (Happy Autumn!), and get posting on my other blogs. :)

Have a wonderful night, and we'll talk again soon! :)

The Elegant Blogger Award

Hi!

So I haven't really done a blogger award for a long time, and I don't always like doing them, but this one looks fun, and it's been going around quite a bit, so why not? ;)

I was awarded by Maddi and Christina!


THE RULES

-When you receive the award, link back to keepcalmandsparkle1099.blogspot.com and the blog(s) that nominated you.

-Display the award button in the post.

-Answer all of the 12 questions given in this post (Do not make your own questions).

-Nominate 12 bloggers.

-Notify them that they have been awarded.


THE QUESTIONS

1. What made you decide to start blogging?
My dear friend Claire had a blog about her dolls, and I thought it was so cool, and I wanted to do it too!  I started out with a private blog at the age of 9 (I didn't post on that one much), and then I stopped blogging for a while.  I started up again a little over a year ago with this blog, and now I also have a design blog, and I contribute to Seven Faraway Friends! :)

2. What is your fashion style?
Hmmmmm..... Well, summer is my favorite season for clothing because I love shorts and tank tops (what I live in all summer ;).  I like to be stylish, but also comfortable, so it depends on the day. ;)  Some days I feel like getting more dressed up, and others sweats will do. :)  I'd probably say that I lean more towards the stylish side, though. ;)

3. What is something none of your followers know about you?
Well...... ummmmm....... I read all of the posts of the blogs I follow, and from not being on the internet at all for about a week and a half, I had over 800 posts on Bloglovin to catch up on, and I read them all!!! :P  Crazy, right?

4. What are some of your blogging goals?
I'd love to be able to post everyday with lots of pictures, and of course I always would love to increase my followers. :)  I would also love to increase sponsorships with advertising and reviews/giveaways.

5. Where is your favorite place to shop?
Ooooh, that's hard!!!  I love Abercrombie, Hollister, Gilly Hicks, Target, Delia's....... Yeah a lot of different stores. ;)

6. What would your ideal amount of blog followers be?
Infinity and beyond!!! :P

7. What are your talents?
Crafting, blogging, piano, working with animals, working with kids......

8. Are you a leader or a follower?
Um, well, that depends on the situation..... ;)  I don't think I am either definitively.

9. What is one of your favorite quotes?
That's hard, because I'm not a big 'quote person.'  I don't really have any pinned up on my bulletin board, but let me go check Pinterest to see if I've got anything on there. :P  Be right back.....

Ok, I'm back, and now I have a few to share. :)  I couldn't pick a favorite. :)

"Don't let school interfere with your education."
                                   
                             -Mark Twain

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

                            -Mark Twain

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

                               -Albert Einstein

10. Do you have a favorite book or book series?
Don't even get me started. ;)  I cannot answer this question.

11. Out of all the synonyms for elegant, which would you describe yourself with {smart - stylish - dressy - graceful - dainty - fine}?
Can I choose two?  I would probably say smart and stylish. :P

12. What is your favorite flower?
I'm not really a flower person (I don't know a bunch of flowers, but I always think it's sweet when someone gives flowers to another :), but I would probably have to say (don't laugh at how basic these flowers are) Day Lilies and Red Roses. :)

Ok, time to award!  This may take a while......

1. Jessica @ Whispers of the Wind
2. Angelique @ My American Girl Story
4. Hannah @ The Writings of Hannah
5. Emma @Simply Inspired
