Hello!

Hey! What's up with you guys? I can't really think of anything to post.

Hello

Hi guys! Check out my lavender font! Cool, huh? Well, that's all for now!

Bye!

Judyann

HEY GUYS!!

Hey! Remember me? Sorry, I have been SOOOOOOO busy!! So...whats up? Lol.

Halloween

As you know; I said I was going to be Carly Shay, from iCarly, but at the last minute I decided to be a cowgirl. It was fun:)

Letterboxing!!

Sorry I haven't posted for....*gasps* ten days!! So, yeah, I've been busy. But guess what? I've joined in on letterboxing! If you don't know what that is, then here is a basic explanation:

Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art, and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogs, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes usually contain a notebook and a rubber stamp. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp, either on their personal notebook or on a postcard, and leave an impression of their personal stamp on the letterbox's "visitors' book" or "logbook" — as proof of having found the box and letting subsequent letterboxers see who have visited. Many letterboxers keep careful track of their "find count".


Can you tell it's from Wikipedia??? Yeah, it is. Though I italicized it. Anyways, if you want to join the letterboxing community, I suggest making your own stamps. Your letterboxing ID stamp should be the first one you make. You need to choose a trail name too. My favorite way to do this is to combine your favorite animal and favorite sport.

Example:

Favorite Animal: Cat
Favorite Sport: Basketball

Then you would become Basketball Cat. My favorite letterboxing website (which gives more info on letterboxing) is www.atlasquest.com. See you there! :)

Here's a link to a post on Hodgepodgemom that's really neat...enjoy! :)

Bible?

Sorry I didn't post this yesterday. I have a question: What do you consider your favorite book of the Bible? Mine is 1 corinthians. :) Go through it and find a short passage to memorize. I'm currently trying to memorize 1 corinthians 7-9. You have to look that up in the Bible, cuz' once upon a time I wasn't dilagent (is that how you spell it?) about reading the Bible, and I kept putting it off, and putting it off, and blah blah blah, until finally, one day I decided to pick it up and read it. And ever since I've read the Bible more than I blog. Seriously. Why don't you try it?

Hi

Hey...sorry I haven't posted, have a good post planned for tomorrow :)

Soul Sister: Just $2.99 on Christianbook.com!!

This sounds like a great book!! Click here to buy:
http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=732128&event=BB&bookbag=1&item_code=WW

And here's the description:

This book is for Soul Sisters everywhere--a generation of girls living to please the heart of God.
There are lots of voices today telling us what to do and who to be. Some are subtle; some are obvious. Which ones should we trust?

The Bible speaks in a loud and clear voice into every area of life:

• The truth about identity
• The truth about forgiveness
• The truth about boys
• The truth about destiny

Beth Redman walks us through many of life's difficult issues and shows us how important it is to get into God's Word and to get God's Word into us.

I am ordering this, it's in my cart waiting to be bought!! BTW you save $7.00 if you buy!! So GO!!!

Okay...

I know some of (probably most of) you have read a lot of Nancy Rue's books...but have any of you ever read the Lucy books? I have the first two and the third one I am ordering and will soon be on the way to my house. I can't wait to read it!! I love this series. The best book out of the first two is definitely the first one, Lucy Doesn't Wear Pink. I love Ruth!! And Esther. I love the Lucy books!!

Disney Channel

I'm sorry this post is delayed...but I told you I would do this, and I know that the new Short Answers is out, but I'll do that tomorrow...maybe. Because I am soooo busy tomorrow...I've got a Food Club and birthday party!! Sounds tiring, huh? Anyways, here you go!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're sitting down, watching Disney. Your favorite TV show comes on. What is it? For me, it's Suite Life on Deck. I only watch certain Disney shows, the fun ones. I believe Suite Life on Deck is awesome because it is fun and not so serious yet dumb like other Disney shows. And Sonny With A Chance is just pure fun. But other shows, such as Hannah Montana or Wizards of Waverly Place are a little too grown up for even someone my age. I'm serious. Phineas and Ferb is my least favorite television show, because it's weird, scary (not scary scary, but scary weird) and just plain boring. I mean, they do the same thing every time. Phineas and Ferb build something, Candace tries to bust them, she doesn't succeed, Perry saves the world from Dr. Doofensmirtz, blah blah blah blah. Playhouse Disney is another part of Disney, and it's cute! I like turning it on for my little sister if we are somewhere that we can watch it. See, we don't get Disney. Or Nick. Because we have a TV system called SkyAngel, which is a Christian TV system. It has shows such as Auto B. Good, Creation's Creatures, etc. And we get the basic channels such as FOX news and Weather Channel. Lately, since I don't get to see Disney or Nick unless I: A. Go to someone's house that has it or B. Choose to buy shows to watch on my iPod, I have taken a liking to the Weather Channel. I don't mean I sit around watching Daily Planner all morning. I watch shows such as Storm Stories and It Could Happen Tomorrow. Disney is good if you have nothing better to watch, but when you do watch it, be careful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There you go!! Hope it helped somebody.

Suite Life on Deck & Prince and the Pauper

Suite Life on Deck is my favorite TV show!! Brenda Song is the best actress EVER!!! And then, Prince and the Pauper...both have the Sprouse twins in them...I love Prince and the Pauper!! It ROCKS, and Kay Panabaker is the best, too!! Three thumbs up for both!! I'd love to hear your opinion, and by the way this is one of the two Disney shows I don't think stink (the other one is Sonny with a Chance). What are your opinions on Disney??

Austenbook

Hannah-I know this was origanally from your blog-but...it was just TOO funny...I hope you don't mind me copying! Click here.

For Megan's contest

On Tips for girl tweens. She says to post your best tips for tween girls (max 3) and you could become a writer on the blog! So okay, here they are:

1. It's what's on the inside that counts. Yeah, yeah, you've heard it a thousand times! But it's SO true! Girls today are obsessing over how they look. It's even true on TV shows! You can't watch an hour of TV without someone saying, 'Does this dress make me look fat?' Here it comes: Be yourself! Don't try to be ANYONE else.

2. Alright, alright. I did say that it's what's on the inside that counts, but let's face it; EVERY girl/woman wants to be beautiful. Let's start with skin. I suggest Noxema. It's cheap, and a quick and easy face/skin cleaner! And yeah, you do have to use soap. So soap up! Use a loofah, as they are soooo cool!

3. Let's talk about your nails. Mine are hideous. I don't ever remember to trim them, but the bottom line is TRIM THEM. Then, it may make you appear vain or whatever to some people, but at least once a week, give yourself a good manicure. Nails look SO much cleaner polished. My favorite way to do my nails is with clear nail polish, then sprinkle some glitter over it, and give it a top coat. Try it! Glamourous!

So those are my best tips! Hope they helped someone!

I watched this last night at my friend's sleepover. Before I start, I need to tell you I had read the book before, so I knew the story. My friends and I watched the movie and it made us giggle and almost cry! Ummm...if you have not read the book or watched the movie, I suggest you not read anymore.

SPOILER WARNING
The funniest part was-
Capricorn: And what's that sticky stuff called?
Capricorn's assistant dude: Duct tape.
Capricorn: Oh, I LOVE duct tape!

The best part is the end- (spoiler warning) DUSTFINGER GOES HOME!!!

It was the best movie EVER!

Sewing Bible Study

Here is a sample of it:


What does the Bible have to say about sewing? Well, let's look into it...
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..."
Nope.
"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies..."
Nope.
Hey...can you help me out?

So that is the introduction, which is all I've got so far. You like?

One more thing...

Does anyone know how to create a header and background? If so, could they create some for me? I am SO tired of this template/header/background. Thanks!!

Hi

Hey guys!! Remember when I posted those sewing verses? Well, right now I am putting together a sewing Bible study for all of us to do together! It may be on here, or I may set it up so you can download it. Who knows, however I do it, it will be fun for all of us! :)

Hi

So yeah...I've decided not to change the blog name, but anyways...if you think I should change the name, please read the blog description. Anyways, I've never really sewn anything like this before...but do you think I should sew a t-shirt for my little sister??

PS: I love today's quote on the cheeky quotes-"That lady speaks eight languages and can't say no in any of them" LOL!
