Your Hostess:


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm your hostess Lady Rachel, and this is the blog of a fourteen-year-old girl, who is striving to become a woman of God. I am a homeschool student, living on our small hobby farm with my 7 siblings, from ranging from ages 18-1yo. Take a look at my life as the 3rd daughter from a large homeschooling family and how God walks with me through it. Blessings!

A Photo-Shoot of Me!

A Photo-Shoot of Me!

I had Eric take some pictures of me… I haven’t posted pictures of me in a long time. So, here I am! haha. Enjoy! (Oh and I warn you - I am very pale!)

Me (I really like this one of me)

Up in Little Maple

Standing by the Little Maple’s trunk

Me on the Stone Steps (the Hen wanted to be in it too.)

The sun came out right as this was taken

A little crooked, but I like this one of me :D

I found a small bunch of Queen Ann’s Lace, and had to pick one! Last ones of the season

And last of all, me with Belladonna and her kid, Broken Arrow (Bell and Bow)

Well I hope you enjoyed seeing some pictures of me. I hope to be posting more pictures here soon. :)

Sincerely,
http://homeschoolblogger.com/uploads/b/BlogTips/64792.png

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country. “You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!” Philippians 4:13

You look very nice. I especially like the stone steps. Those pics look like magazine photos and I kind of like the unusual angle more than I would like a typical straight on shot!

You have matured in your looks, I think! Beautiful and sweet!

Sunday, October 12, 2008 - Your Story Blog.

Posted by nachoaveragegirl

Hi Rachel,
I found your story blog, it is really neat. You said that you needed a partner, I would love to do something like that with you. Maybe you and I could run the blog together? Please let me know ASAP.

In Christ alone,
Hannah Grace.

Monday, October 13, 2008 - thanks, rachel!

Posted by AndiCarter

I thought I'd be "cute" and sign in as my character. You can head over there if you want to see all the "scoop" on the books, like pictures of A's family and friends. LOL

Seriously, thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed DD. I have no idea how many of the books you ended up with...I just sent them wherever Jocelyn told me to. :-)

If you want to read the rest of the books, you could always request them from your library. It takes awhile, but eventually libraries do get the books in.

I liked seeing picture of you as soon as I logged onto your blog. It is hard to imagine what other bloggers look like and I sure like seeing who I'm blogging with. Nice pics!

Will your interview questions be coming by e-mail or PM? I prefer e-mail, since I have a hard time remembering to check my profile on HSB.

You are so pretty, Miss Rachel!

Thanks for sharing those. And you have a great photographer, too :)

Posted by SuzyScribbles

thanks for stopping by. You sound super busy. The thought of writing 5 articles makes me shudder. I am not an article-writing kind of gal, I'm afraid. Deadlines make my stress meter jump to about a 8.5.

You can use anything you can find from Andi's blog. That's what it's there for . . . everybody to see. Jessica signed a model release form for Kregel so I guess that makes her picture(s) . . . shall we say . . . public domain? LOL

Oh, to be totally accurate: Jessica was not on the cover of Brio mag. She wrote an article for the magazine about BEING a home school cover girl. Focus on the Family bought the article.

You want me to teach you to embroider? I can. It will be my pleasure.

They are so pretty! My favorite ones are the one of you in the tree, on the stone steps and the one of you picking the flowers! I love seeing pictures and these were great!

Love always,
