I was awarded by...

... Poectic Maiden!!!! She is such a nice girl!


I award this lovely award to:

Poetic Maiden! --- I know she awarded me but I couldn't help awarding her back. Ever since I met her I've loved her blogs! She writes great poetry but she also has other blogs to write nonsense which I love. :-) She is a really great girl-- very friendly, kind and she always has something nice to say to me!

Suzy Scribbles
--- I just LOVE Mrs. Marlow! I took her writing course which I loved and I've read all her books which I own and loved. And I read her books over again and I loved them! I'm sure if you meet her you will love her too because you won't be able to help it!

A Ladybug
--- Anna and I have lots in common -- she is only 4 days older than me, we wear glasses that are almost the same shape, our hair falls out of our ponytails the same way, and lots of other stuff that I'm not going to bother to list because I already did in my Journal. I've had lots of fun getting to know her and her sister BookwormMN.

And thats all for now. We just got our scanner set up so I've had fun testing it out with all kinds of things including a baby bib, my science book and a silly picture of me which I'll post later.

Show and Tell and a bunch of other pictures


Welcome to this week's show and tell!!! A while ago Sprite and 529Beanie both made dolls out of some kind-of bottle:
Sprite's


529Beanie's

I finally got around to making mine:

The fabric came from my new skirt and top for the recital.




The lace only goes around half of the skirt but you can't tell that from the front!

I glued on three buttons to finish it off:

And I guess thats the first part of my show and tell! The rest is just some pictures that I took for fun:






To find more great Show and Tells click on the icon at the top of the post.

YAY!!!

The GGM photo contest is still running!!!! One of the pictures I sent in was chosen and its going to be in the next magezine!!! You might not think its very exciting but I do. I'm not sure if they will care if I post the picture that got chosen so I'll ask and edit it later if they say yes.
Well thats all for now I guess. I'll be back later with more exciting stuff. And by the way, the "What is it?" in my last post was a cactus that I had edited.

I might do another one sometime.

A New Template!

I finally changed my template!!!! I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of that old one! I made everything by myself: the layout, the backgrounds, the header, and my new signature. I  had to have Alison help me on one thing that you can't see though. So what do you think??? Please let me know if you find any problems with it and I'll try to fix it.

Here are some pictures of the past week:

Doll church (did you notice that there were two whole rooms for the ladies...)

And Sunday's "perfect pancake" which wasn't so perfect.:


And a question for you:
Kind-of hard to tell huh? You guess and I'll post the answer sometime soon.

Posing for the camera:


And last of all some pictures I made while playing around with PSP. (thanks heartnsoul! (she is also at curiouscat))

On this one the text is all yucky looking because its resized but it really does look good!

And do you like my signature???

Rosetta Stone Giveaway

Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE! 

This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian.

This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program.  Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking.  Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included!  For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports. 

 

To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/  and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it.  And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it.  And good luck!  The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg.   And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win.   Yay for free stuff!

Andi Carter


Have you been to Andi's blog yet? She is the main character in the Circle C series written by Mrs. Marlow. (suzyscribbles) You can read sample chapters here. You can also read a story about Andi's very first day of school here.  I just finished reading all of Mrs. Marlows books over again today. My favorite is the Family Secret--3rd book in the series.



On Andi's blog you can read about her family, friends, school, and lots more interesting stuff!
