photo contest finalists

Wow. Feels good to be back. Even though I was only gone for five days..it feels like forever. Can I just tell you that if you are in eighth grade in a public school you have no life, you have hardly any free time. It really stinks because I love to blog, and I love to photograph. But school takes away both of those. I'm sorry for my absence, but I plan to get back into blogging at least every other day. 

I'm pretty ecstatic with the amount of entries I got in my 'anything' photo contest. 19 entries! That's awesome! Thank you all for entering! Also, I put up a poll to see what all of you're favorite classes are in school..apparently you guys like english! :] So on with the photo finalists! :]

by Gloria A.

Probably my favorite this week. Love the lighting the focus, the horse and people in the background. It's just a wonderful picture. :)

 by Lauren.

I just love the simplicity of this photo. I love the green in the background, the colors, and it doesn't look too over edited, or even edited at all. Great job Lauren!

by Mary Ann.

I love this picture because of the lighting, the colors, and it's something different. Great job Mary Ann! 

by Allison.

I love this picture because of where she took this photo, and how the sun is shining through the trees! Great job Allison! :)

by Lily.

I love his because of how soft, and simple this photo looks. Great job Lily!

Now go on over to the side bar and vote for your favorite! The winner will get one week of advertising on my sidebar! :) Good luck!

i've been busy

These past couple of days have been crazy. Waking up at 6 am every morning, going to bed late because I've been babysitting, even waking up this morning at 5:45. I'ts been crazy. 

The reason I've had to get up early is because I am doing something at school called WEB {Where Everybody Belongs.} It's a program where around 50 of chosen 8th graders {me} get to have a special day where we help out the 6th graders, get to know our school and feel comfortable about it. It's really fun-but it is also very stressful. Having to practically memorize lots of activities, taking the kids on a tour, going to the store and getting different things for them to dress up as people in the 70's. It's a lot of work. Believe me. 

So now you know why posting on this blog of mine has been at the bottom of my priorities list. I'm sorry for the 4 days of absent me. But to be honest it may be like that for a while now. With me going to a public school there's lots of hours put into school and activities. So I'm going to take more breaks in between posting. I hope you all understand. :]

I just went to upload some pictures of yesterday while babysitting-but my camera was dead. Sorry. I will post some pictures soon! For now, here is a picture I took while in Duluth a while ago. 

I also have a winner for the black & white contest on this blog of mine. The winner is..Mary Ann! Congrats!

P.S. A friend told me about this website. Have you heard of it, or are you on it?

something beautiful

This weekend our cousins came over! There is an eight year old boy, and a five year old girl. Right now, in the girl's life makeup, nail polish, hair, and dresses is pretty important. So when she came over this weekend, I kind of gave her a "makeover."

I just did  her hair all fancy, added some eye shadow, lip gloss, and blush to her face, and added a pink scarf. I could tell she loved the treatment, and when I was "dolling her up" I wished I had a little sister I could do that on all the time. Oh, how I wish I had a little sister I could pamper 24/7.

This one I'm entering into Kiley's Click and Capture photo contest!
