2011.

Dearest blog,
I have abandoned you. And I feel terribly guilty. I know, I'm a terrible person. I love reading blogs and I hate when the people I follow don't blog in forever. And now I see that everyone does it. Including me. Shame on me. Anyhoo, I have resolved to blog this year! I want to post pictures and do all that fun jazz. So, dearest old blog, I will return to thee!
I'm not the greatest writer, but maybe with blogging that will also improve!
So let's hope and pray that I DO write on you more often this year!
So until my next post--which will be very soon, I promise!

I Heart Faces: Fix-It-Friday #60

This Friday (like every Friday) I Heart Faces is hosting Fix-It-Friday! I'm so excited. Except for the fact that the other computer crashed and I totally lost Photoshop. But I'll get past that. So I had to settle for Picnik. And I have to say for me to be editing with Picnik, I really like the result. No offense to Picnik, I've just never been good with them. ANYHOW.

Here is the original picture taken by Susan Keller who is a contributor on I Heart Faces and an amazing photographer OF COURSE.

Then here is my edit. And DON'T ask me what I did because I have no clue. I just know that cross-process is my new favorite effect. (:

I'm totally loving the sun flare. And how cool it looks with his shirt.

Head on over to join the photo editing fun over at I Heart Faces!

I Heart Faces : Week 25 - Celebrating Teens

Oh goodness. Sorry, blog. I have abandoned you. But now I'm on summer vacation and I can get back to blogging and participating in I Heart Faces, which is what I'm posting about right now.

This week at I Heart Faces is all about celebrating teens!  It's pretty exciting because I'm a teen myself! My picture is of one of my friends, P.

 She's a cutie! Now head on over to I Heart Faces to check out all the other teens being featured on there.

Have a good day!

The Butterfly Circus.

Ok, so I haven't blogged in forever. But one of my teachers showed this to us in our English class and I really liked it!



Go check out the website.
Very nice film for it to be a low budget.

Just thought I'd share that!

Of doves and pigeons.

So maybe smart people know this. But I obviously didn't. Here goes the story:
My dad asked me what pigeon was in Spanish. And I told him it was paloma. But then, I was like oh but paloma is dove. So I looked up the word dove and the translation was paloma and then I looked up the word pigeon and the translation was paloma. I am not a person that is easily confused. But this really confused me. I was like, "How the heck are they the same thing?!" But then I digged deeper, and paloma is the name of the bird family or whatever and in Spanish it just stays the same. Umm, thanks Spanish language creators for not creating a word for dove in Spanish. Or a specific one for pigeon.

So this is a stupid random story that no one cares about. But I thought I'd share it anyhoo. (:

TWLOHA. ♥

TWLOHA stands for To Write Love On Her Arms. This is like an awesome cause for helping people with suicide issues, and other stuff like that. I'm not good at explaining so head on over there. Today was like TWLOHA day. But I think they have a couple a year or something like that. But today was one of them. And it was awesome because a big part of my very small (60 ish people) had LOVE written on their arms. It was pretty cool, to me at least. You should totally become a fan on Facebook. Or follow them on Twitter.
But today you remember all those people who have committed suicide, all those who have killed themselves because they didn't feel LOVED. (These TWLOHA people do more awesome stuff {which is why you should go check them out!} but the suicide part is what really stands out.) So, go tell someone you love them!

Mouth-Watering Hatred.

This week over at i heart faces they are doing a desserts challenge. But I'm not going to participate. But the judge is Bakerella and I had sadly never heard of her before. So I went on over to her website and found this. Yes, they are mint-chocolate brownies. Me, being the young missionary kid girl living in Central America that had never heard of mint chips hated myself for even looking at them knowing it would be a while before I could try them. So that is me being a masochist. Oh but just go look at it. And be prepared to fall head-over-heels in LOVE.
