Valentine's Day

I don't know if you all have Valentine's Day in Europe or other places you live, but just in case you don't, Valentine's Day was a day created by Saint Valentine about love and friendship. So for all of the people who read my blog, here's a Valentine Card for all of you! (I made it on Photoshop. I think I'm obsessed.) :)

Percy Jackson: The Movie A+

Today was Annabel's dream day. She's obsessed with the book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I love them too but not to such an extreme level. :)

Anyway, today was the second day of the movie being out and the whole family went to see it. I think everyone in the theater rated it A+. The critics were rating it C- because they were comparing it to Harry Potter. All of the kids who saw the movie would be pretty mad at them, I'll tell you that!

The special effects were great, the movie had great actors and overall, I bet they're going to make the next four! I'd be so excited for that!!

Happy Birthday Annabel

You are special, a gift to the world,
singing to the wind, the trees, the sky.
Making peace with pain and sorrow,
accepting life like just a snowy day.
Coming and going like a pearly-white moon,
making your appearance to this world magnificent.
Making your way though life as a humble dot of life,
but you are a living joy, constant peace, a golden star.

Happy birthday Annabel, another beautiful year being around you! Hope you like the poem. I'm no Dr. Seuss, but I tried. :) You're now eleven! Welcome to the "lovely" world of preteens!

corner view "re-purposed"

I guess one of the things I've created out of something else is a mobile from Lincoln Logs. I don't know if they have them in places other than America but they are these logs with crevices on the ends. The crevices make them easier to stay where they're put.

Anyway, about a couple of years ago, when I was eight, I wanted to make a nice gift for my brother, Shawn's, fourth birthday. So, I took some Lincoln Logs and some nails and I went to my workbench and I came inside with this... a Lincoln Log airplane mobile.

 

 

Shawn really liked it for a while and then one summer we had to pack it away. We just dug it up a couple of days ago and just in time for corner view!

P.S. I got Photoshop for Christmas and I'm making my new CD cover. I have two and like them both.

Feedback? Which one do you like better: A or B? It's called Next Color.

To hear my other CD's go here.

P.P.S My younger sister Annabel took the pictures of me. She's only ELEVEN!

corner view "sweets"

Today Mom was in a playful mood so she offered to take us kids for ice cream partly because I didn't have any pictures of "sweets". So we went for ice cream and I got all inspired because sugar's real inspiring if you know what I mean.

P.S. Does anyone know how to make a fancy background on the blog or add music? Thanks!
