ATTENTION! PART 2

Okay, first of all I want to thank my Aunt for mentioning my blog on her blog. I felt really happy, so thank you Auntie! Anyway, I have something to recommend. Last week, I think, Mommy signed my sister and two brothers up for this thing called Kaplin. Its like this online tutoring system and truth be told I really enjoy it. All they tutor in is math and reading.  I learned things I hadn't before when you select your special grade.  The good part is when you start a free trial, you can do a pretest and whatever you get wrong or right, they will create their own lesson plans just for you, not another sibling, just you. But, its Kaplin tutoring which is for children, but you can go to college online on the official site. Okay, heres our favourite part, when you do the lessons you earn points and when you earn points there's this thing called the reward zone where you can spend your points.  It's real stuff like computers, books, toys and more!  It takes a while to save up, but it encourages you to work harder, plus its really fun. okay, I'm almost done. Today I washed my hair and styled it, and I realized that it was pretty and I liked it. Why am I saying this? Because sometimes I don't really appreciate my hair and sometimes I wish I had straight hair (or a perm) or something.  I just didn't want it to be nappy.  But it was pretty and I do love it and it looks really nice now just in twists and I will teach myself to love who I am and who God made me. I especially think this is important for young girls and its dangerous for them to think they aren't pretty and go off and do something to make themselves pretty.  Here's a tip and then I'll stop :) Here's how to be pretty:1. wash hair,  however; 2. twist it up; 3. spray with nice smelling stuff. The End, and trust me you will look outstanding.

ATTENTION! LOTS TO SAY AND ITS IMPORTANT!

Okay, so as you may notice I have just added two new tabs one is called Just A Thought which is going to be about my thoughts about everything! And what you can do is comment on what you might want to know!The next one is called the No Face Campaign. And what that is is a campaign that I thought of long ago when I heard about how someone could find out your info just from your picture! I thought I could do this when I get my YouTube someday, but today I realized hey why not now? So what you do is to NEVER show your face on a YouTube video and give yourself a different name (I even thought up my own!) when doing so. On that tab you can join, I don't know how but I'll find out. Anyway I'm very upset about Japan.  You may have heard about the tsnami and earthquake that happened last Friday.  Well, yesterday I was watching my local news when they had a story on Japan about how we may not get our cars and electronics because of it. I wanted to litterly push my hand through the t.v and give the reporter a piece of my mind .PEOPLE ARE DYING, PEOPLE MISSING, THOUSANDS DEAD! AND ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR 30'' T.V AND IPOD??!! HOW DARE THEY?! Excuse me, I have been known best for my temper. Don't get me wrong, America is doing a fine job sending water and stuff like that (no sarcasm intended). So maybe I could hold a fundraiser with my new campaign, hmm...... Oh! and mother has a blog too! its called conniescraftroom enjoy!

Easier said than done

Today my mother was talking to my older brother about a miniature mouse playhouse they're doing. Well, suddenly I got this idea to make my own miniature scene. Lately, I have been interested in mermaids, I use my computer time to look at The Little Mermaid (my new favorite Disney princess, it used to be Belle).  My daddy told me once that when I was little I used to love dolphins and I quite love those bottle nose dolphins today.  Anyway, I plan to do my miniature mermaid scene using a wood base and a glass case over it.  It seems like it will be a hard task, but I'm going to try it. 

Knitting for Charity

  When I was much, much younger, one of my aunts took me for knitting lessons.  I'm sure I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but now as a stressed out homeschooling mother of five, I love the calm that comes from sitting down with a ball of yarn and the almost mindless repetition of my knitting needles.  Very relaxing.  Anyway, I decided to kill two birds with one stone (not that I would ever kill birds, with a stone or anything else for that matter!) by resurrecting my old knitting skills and doing something of good for others.  I knit up a bunch of scarves and sent them off to a charity called Knit with Love.  This group distributes donated items (scarves, blankets, beanies, and other knitted clothing) to people in need.  I love the sound of that and I can't wait to knit up another box full of items to send off.  I'm going to try my hands at hats next...wish me luck!

War in Libya

This war in Libya is for sure an outrage! I think that the only reason there is a big fight there is because probably  people there thought they could get what they wanted like the people in Cairo.  But the people there only got what they wanted from war and many people died because of it. I also realized that people paid some attention to Cairo but to me not as much attention as Libya why? Well I think because that's where all the oil is maybe that's why people are so upset because it cost more for oil shipments and more at the pump. I'll be honest I was always cringing when on the news they would talk about gas going up in fact I still worry but I really must learn to stop. One things for sure though, somethings going to happen good or bad I don't know but I have a feeling it's just the beginning of things.
