A Sporadic Update

Hello again! I'm popping in to post some pictures. I don't even know how long it's been since I was last here! I think today is day 55.

xD I liked this calendar. It was from last year.

Some tuba music, I think. It was just sitting in a chair in the band room.

I finally finished my doodle page in the front of my history binder!!

I love taking pictures of this little pot. It's so cute.

A pirate sticker on a sheet my friend gave me. I have a few on my phone, and more on my flute and piccolo cases!

Shards of mirrors my friend Daniel and I broke one time

I turned them into an actual mirror!

Uh-oh, it's project time again... pretty paper, though. Just wait and see what I did with it.

My mom and I went shopping for some flowers to put out front.

We ended up buying a boatload of pansies

We also bought two of these to put in the pots by the front gate

OMG SO PRETTY.

Sassy and my mom's foot

Ta-da!! Here's what I made with the cute paper above. It's a box!

But wait--what's this? There are boxes inside the box?!

Wow! Cool! Clever! They fold together to make it seem like a bigger box!!

Some of my planted pansies

I asked my sister to straighten my hair after I washed it. My hair takes forever to dry, so I decided to use the blow-dryer. And then I remembered why I never use the blow-dryer. The brightness takes away from how big my hair actually is in this picture.

Today in band we played cards

I'm doing my hero journey project on Warriors: Into the Wild by Erin Hunter

I don't like the focus on this one. It's not quite on the sailboat, but more on my neighbor's house.

Frank moved while I was taking this one, but it's still so cute!

Again, I don't like the focus on this one...

Frank!

Frank and Daisy

The puppies like to hang out here and wait for my mom to come up the stairs when she gets home. It's dangerous, and a few of them have already fallen, but it's like they've forgotten or something, because they still do it every day.

And there you go. Loads of pictures. :) I need to go do homework now, so I'll post again in a week or so! DFTBA!

*Hangs head*

I know. I know. It's been so long that even I don't remember what day I'm on. Forty-six? Forty-seven? I haven't had batteries for my camera for almost a week now so I haven't been nearly as faithful to this whole project. So... let's see what pictures I've accumulated for you:

Buttons are fantastic for pretty much any craft you'll ever do in your entire life. I love them.

My iced tea from a day camp meeting

My time record for working on day camp stuff...

A really cool quote I found a while ago, printed out, and put in the front of my health binder

You can spell some pretty weird stuff on a calculator.

At Write Night, they'd put paper in the lights, and it gave the room a really cool glow

Yum.

...Seven? SEVEN?! That's pathetic! What the heck! I really need to get batteries for my camera. I'm so sorry, guys. Soon.

Days Thirty-Four and Thirty-Five

Not a lot to report on for Friday, but today I spent hours and hours creating a Kusudama ball out of newspaper. It's ridiculous, guys, never make one. The website I found the instructions on was all "you don't have to have patience to do this project!" But they LIED, it took me hours to rip the paper and hours to fold and glue it! I might do another one some day with prettier paper, but omg. It took a ridiculously long time to make. My sister and I also went to our friends' house to discuss day camp today, and we're going back tomorrow.

My day camp notebook and agenda in my purse

An extremely blurry picture of my friend Austin's shrinky-dink

Yum.

Duchess, who moved when I snapped the picture, so she looks like a ghost...

The front of my day camp notebook

These are some doodles I made about day camp ^^

Here's the start of my Kusudama ball project.

One of the finished petals

More petals...

Sixty petals. Honestly.

A finished flower

And the finished ball!

I got a lot of ink and glue on my fingers during the process. I don't really know what to do with it now that I'm finished... Apparently you can put a string in the center when gluing the two halves together and make it an ornament, which I might try if I ever make another one... Anyway. We're going back to the Culbreth's house tomorrow to further discuss camp stuff. Hopefully it'll be another productive day. DFTBA!

http://findinspirations.com/2009/07/handmade/ This is where I found the project. Mine doesn't look nearly as good, but hey, it's not bad for a first attempt.

Day Thirty-Three

It's been another rainy day. I only took one picture at school, so most of these are from my bedroom. I did more editing than usual:

Daniel! Despite the look on his face, he actually seemed pretty cheerful this afternoon.

Gemma, my pink ducky, with black/white editing

The 2010 Christmas village house, with black/white editing

I made a heart out of play-doh. Yay!

Depth-of-field editing on this one, to make the green canister stand out more

So wow! Usually I only edit the pictures I put on the project site, and here three are edited, as well as the one on the site. Please check it out, I really love today's picture. :) DFTBA!

Day Thirty-Two

HAPPY FEBRUARY! I really wanted to start again at Day One with this post, lol. Well, I forgot to change my calendar this morning, so I just did it a few minutes ago. The flamingos are actually pretty cute. I'll try to get a picture of them sometime this month, and a picture of last month's raccoon. Right now I'm listening to recordings of songs my band has played so far this year. They sound so epic. I love being in the wind ensemble! xD Anywho, on to pictures!

The view from my English classroom's window. It started to rain.

It's almost time to get out! Hooray!

The view from the cafeteria as I waited to be picked up after band practice. It started raining a lot harder.

I didn't have very many good opportunities to take pictures today. I've been pretty busy. However, I feel pretty good about myself right now because I've finished all my homework and now I'm just goofing off and waiting for Kelsey to reply to my email. (She's one of the girls I'm directing day camp with.) I wish someone would get online... I feel like talking... perhaps I should get on Omegle, lol. Well, DFTBA!

Day Thirty-One

Ah, the end of January. I'm going to have to change my calendar, and I've so enjoyed this month's picture... it's a raccoon. The picture for February is flamingos. Anyway. Not many pictures today. It's a Monday.

One of the signs above the recycling cans right outside the cafeteria...

Daniel left me a note in my calculator when he had to borrow it for math. I didn't find it until several hours later, right before a test in health class.

Today we went to a girl scout meeting and since we won't be meeting again until after Valentine's day, our snack was Valentine's day themed.

Yay for M&Ms!

Two girls in our girl scout troop, my sister, and I have decided to plan this year's summer day camp, so if I have to catch up on posts, it's because I'm busy being awesome. I do try to always have the best of the day up on the project site, so PLEASE LOOK! :)
