A word of advice

My room ideas (currently)

Hi! I have been coming up with some cool ideas to share with you! So here they are:

• Keep your drawers organized because what you keep in there won't end up on your floor when you have to clean up.
• Use fluffy pillows to decorate your bed
• Arrange your books from A to Z so you can find things easily
• Don't allow yourself to throw things on the floor because they will only add up
• Keep all expensive things such as Nintendos, jewlrey, ipods, cell phones, e.t.c. where you know where they are so they don't get lost
• Set aside a time to clean your room everyday so it doesn't add up
• Keep your homework and other papers seperate
• Stick to colors that match your wall and bedspreads
• Electronics only look good if they don't have dust on them....
• Lay your clothes out in your closet for the next day so you don't have so much to do in the morning

Well, that's it for now but you can comment to ask questions!

Thanks,

Room Renovations

Hey everyone! I am so excited because I am getting a wall in my room. My room right now is a walk in basement so I have no door. :( But, tommorow I am getting new carpet and a wall and new tile from my bathroom! We also went to a baseball game today and my Dad caught a foul ball from Melvin More! It was so fun. I am also getting my haircut tommorow and have another track practice so I'm going to be tired! Well, BYE!

Room Ideas

Wow, hopefully some people still read my blog. Anyways, I have done a lot of room designing since I last posted. So here it is:

1. Do not block any sunlight with furniture
2. Do not go out of your color scheme
3. Make sure your room says you not something you saw in a magazine
4. Use what you have, chances are you have some really cool stuff laying around
5. Make sure you keep the stuff you need everyday in the tops of everything so you can access them quickly
6. Make a design of your room before you decide to move your furniture

Anyone especially interested in interior design? I am too so make sure to comment!

V-Day

Hi! It's me again! I had an awesome day at school today. We celebrated Valentines Day today and we played a game where all the girls get a paper heart with their name on it. The guys try to get us to talk to them. I was able to keep my heart all day. We also got roses and carnations. I got three roses from my parents and one from my friend. Luckily, I didn't get a singing valenitne. A singing valentine is when high school guys come and sing to you. It's funny to watch other people, but I would be embarrased. I'll c u l8er!

Sister Shoebox Swap - Noel

This is a post from Sara's mom, Sheila. Since I do not have a blog myself, Sara has been gracious enough to let me post an entry regarding a shoebox swap I participated in hosted by Monica of The Homespun Heart and Carrie of With All that I've Been Given. Thank you Sara! Please bear with me as this is my first blog post!


The theme of the swap was Noel. My swap partner was Agnes. I had had a particularly bad week - I came down with shingles (no fun!), but still had regular work and mom duties. So I was so very happy when Friday came. Fridays are my days off, and my kids attend a 4-day a week school, so they are off on Fridays as well. We had NO plans - sometimes that is such a blessing! In addition, we were experiencing a few days of 70 degree weather in Colorado in November! It was already a good day, but then I went to the mailbox and my shoebox had arrived! As I opened the box and examined what Agnes had sent, I felt so blessed by the thought and care she had put into the items she included. She really thought about me, and included items that I can both use and enjoy. My two daughters agreed to model some of the items for me.



A backpack for trips to the gym. The really cool thing about this backpack is that it's also perfect for our summer bike rides. We frequently ride to the next town (about 8 miles over) and have a snack there and come back home. I need something small that I can use for a little cash and a couple other items, and this will be perfect because I can wear it while riding! (Special thanks for our lovely model Sara, my 13 year old daughter.)











I love these Christmas bells! (This lovely model is my 9-year-old daughter, Maisie.)






Next up, some St. Nicholas cookies. One bite, and they said 'Yum!'.




I truly love the framed Noel, and the little bell candle is just the cutest thing!

Some lovely writing paper, shower gel, angel ornament (special!), and a pattern for sewing. I enjoy sewing when I get the chance. As my kids get older, I'm having more time to do it, and it's been so nice to be able to resume an old hobby.




And I saved a special item for last. Agnes included items and a history for making a King's cake. This will be a special activity to enjoy with my girls.






Thank you Agnes, for this wonderful gift. I appreciate your time and thoughtfulness so much. Thank you, Monica and Carrie, for hosting!

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys! How's it going? I haven't been on blogger much lately... I have been out and about. Anyways-today my Mom made this awesome pizza! It was called spider web pizza!it kinda looks like the picture above. But it was different too. unfortunately, the toppings slid off- but it was still good. The picture below is late, and you can't see it very well, but that was my new haircut. It is slightly longer now- it grows FAST! Make sure to keep adding prayer requests!
