Polka Dot Blog Design

Hi!

OK, so I just ordered a blog button and signature from a designer blog called: Polka Dot Blog Design. The blog is all by Lulu. It had designs of all kind and heres the best part, it's 100% free!

Here's Lulu's profile:

My name is Lulu Maggie, and I have a beautiful life! I have a wonderful family -- two lovely parents and seven siblings - 6 brothers and 1 sister. I am home schooled and currently in seventh grade. I enjoy photography, graphic design, and much more.

I am a strong Christian, and I believe that Jesus died on the cross to shed His perfect blood for my sins. That is the free gift of God, and I believe that everyone who believes His death and repents for their sins can be forgiven. I also believe that God created the earth in 7 days, the 7th day being His rest day. I believe that God sent a global flood to the earth to destroy the unrighteous people.

I started this blog to encourage young ladies and to provide interesting and godly things for them to look at. Here at my blog you will find devotionals, giveaways, photography contests, and more.

I hope you find my blog edifying and that you come here often!


Visit it soon! 

May God's richest blessings be with you all!

Ice cream Sandwich

This is a picture of my ice cream sandwich. This weekend I made cookies at my country house and brought a whole bag full back to the city. I watched an episode of Fringe (I popped in and out of watching that, i get updated on the latest crisis's by my friend who watches every episode) and decided to treat myself with ice cream and cookie! then... I'M A GENIUS! So yep, I made a homemade ice cream sandwich.

My recipe ( Half mine, half chocolate-chip bag cookie recipe):

3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
2 sticks of butter, make sure there softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips (they wanted me to put in two and when I did, I decided that 1 would be enough but of course they wanted us to run out of them and but more.) 

YAY

This is just to say that pills stink. Vitamins. Even though, they make you "bigger and stronger", they taste like chalk. Whenever I have a flinstone vitamin, can you not throw up? Or is it just me?

2011 Grammy Awards.... Whoa

Sadly, I didn't see the Grammy Awards because I was sleeping. But, I did see it on YouTube...

At first in Justin Beiber's performance, I thought he was crazy because his guitar solo was so short and shy. Then it started to make sense with Usher and all the Ninjas. Yeah! Ninjas are so in style! All 13 year old famous pop-star singer kids have them in they're Grammy Award performances. Not criticizing, just questioning.

Lady Gaga? Don't get me started. That lady's agents and stylists have so many out-of-this-world ideas that if everyone dressed like that we would run out of deodorant. A womb? Freaky i-have-an-extra-bone-on-my-cheek people as backup dancers? And I thought the meat dress was as original and creatively over the top as one singer can do! The ending? Yes,  in my point of view (from a little kid filming his T.V screen at 10:00 P.M) it was so Michael Jackson like when they did the ending of claws in the air and the organ.
She's almost like the 20th Century Beatles. Introducing outrageous fashions of food, objects and UN-solid materials. I wonder if in 10 years we'll be wearing medal (like robots) or bubbles.

Recreation

This is a girl who recreated the first maximum ride book cover. I think it's genius. Just needs wings. 

Thakoon

I went to a Thakoon fashion show Sunday night. It was at the Plaza Hotel in which I thought was amazing. Produced by Dizon Inc. clothes by obviously, Thakoon. But anyway, I was seated at a balcony where there was a perfect view of the audience, photographers and models. Here are some pictures:

Some of them are blurry but look, it's life. I took it with an iphone and they're moving models so deal with it.

I went back stage so I got a picture of the boards with the pre-photos of them. 

The other thing that was exciting is that Tavi Gevinson(15 year old fashion blogger of The Style Rookie) who is one of my favorite bloggers came to the show and she looked all vintage. So cool.

COMPARE

I'm sorry. This is a comparison. Of what you ask? Valentines. The dead one is really funny to me. Sad, but funny. Where is his competitor? Here: (And yes, it is a he)

Lets see. It's a vote. Which ones better? I'll give you facts:

1. The Dead one is funnier

2. The Hoppy one is cuter

3. The Dead one is a physical picture

4. The Hoppy one is a cartoon

5. The Dead one is a photograph

6. The Hoppy one is well, hopping

Do you not know what The Dead one and The Hoppy one is? The one about death and the rabbit who will not GIVE UP? 

Yes. 

Comment which one you think is in general... better

A poem

This is a poem by a 4th grader in Texas. I think it's amazing.

Armed

Armed with a pencil

And a shield filled with words

I sum up my courage to face the world.

With an eraser for backup

And a book for ideas,

I rise up over the trees hung with leaves.

I rise up to the stars and above

Into a far-off universe I love.

It's quiet and peaceful

As bright as the sun

And filled with imagination;

Enough for everyone.

There's room for all,

Supplied with the inspiration you need

To click on your mind,

And finally

Succeed.
