Thanks Britt!

 The lovely Britt designed this for me . . . Isn't it lovely?! {No, I'm not quite so good a blog designer as she is }

Here are her blogs . . . check them out!

Encouragement for Everyday Struggles

Designed to Inspire 

She went though everything with me, bit my bit . . .  I emailed her so much Gmail added her to my contacts! She had everything I wanted, and even told me about stuff I didn't know I wanted! Seriously, Britt's good.
What I really like is there isn't anything you have to do to get it. Only email her, and she'll do it {currently. This may change}. On one of my different blogs, somebody else did it, but it required I follow her design blog and she placed a little:

''designed by whatever. Want one too? http:whatever.www.''

{also I didn't like her design nearly as much, but it's still pretty cool . . .  makes me feel I should post more often on that blog}

I may place one of those for Britt, though. She deserves more praise on this!



P.S. Talking about designing, I worked some on this blog! Please check it out and tell me what you think!

P.P.S. If you thank Britt / rave about the design, I WILL send it to Britt . . . just a warning! ;)

Read This {You'll Finally see and Realize my ''special-ness''}

A palace without hope....
Creatures humans can't bare to see anymore...
A young woman torn...

Without farther re-do, I present:

The odd Woods of Village Port

Other wise known and titled as Snow White {I'm renaming it, though}. This is the Snow White/Hunger Games I was talking about {oddly it's not very bloody or like the Hunger Games at all. I know, I'm bad at rating/sorting things :P}. No, it's only the character happens to be a very bitter poor person. Oh, and did I mention I made this to freak myself out with it's awesomeness? Oh yeah. My mind is BLOWN! {It's late, I'm tired, I'm very sorry for creeping you out.}

Want  to read the first parts? I'll give you random parts of things I like best so far:

  
I wake up, shivering. Was it all a bad dream? Yes, it was, my mind tells me. I settle back into the fluffy pillows, and bury myself within the swan feather down… 




‘’What is your name, maiden?’’ The king asks, staring intently into my eyes . . . ‘’…’’ I cannot answer. I’m not sure why, but only a croak comes out. ‘’I will let my son decide what to call you, then,’’ the king says, and turns away.
‘’Snow,’’ he whispers, stroking at a pearl necklace. ‘’Snow White, oh my fair maiden.’’

{I know, creepy kings who'll let other people name you?! That's what I call CREEPY!!!}



The forest is a place children have been warned, many times, not to go into. The stories they tell us of the things that live in the forest are terrible, so I stop only when I can hear nothing but the panting of my breath. The commotions dies down, and I sink onto the ground, asleep.
 
Sadly, I can't give you more {I haven't gotten to the really creepy parts, but I have drawn pictures, which I'll show when I post more of the creepy parts.} yet, but I will as soon as possible!

Hugs and Pie,
                Madeline

Can you Smell Me?

// Inspired to go to BBW by this post {and made happy/sad by it - I'm an only girl} //
// Stinkin' up the world with love, one sniff at a time //

 Okay, on a first note:
Sorry for the blurry photos. Peace. I use my mom's iPad.

I got a few things from BBW last Saturday! They have a buy 2 get one 1 free sale/thingy going on now, so that was my opportunity.
The first ''thing'' is Midnight Pomegranate body lotion. For all ye people going ''sheesh'' at me, at least I didn't get ''Dark Kiss''. :p
I really like this! It's spicy and fruity, two of my favorite things. And besides, I'm happy to add to my {EX-}only Sugar Pea collection.
 I was getting tired of smelling like Sugar Peas {I have the shimmer mist}, and since Paris is well... ya know.... fascinating I went for it! Out of all three, this one smells the best. It's a limited collection, so buy now, girls! ;)
The Sweet on Paris body lotion smelled wonderful, so I'll have to get that next time....
If you're wondering, ''where's the third item?'' my mom was out of shampoo, so she got a bottle and reduced my cost by $11. :)
But anyway, it's amazing how the smell stays on almost forever! {So hopefully I like it forever, cuz' those things are HUGE}
~Madeline
P.S. I'm too tired to add my siggy... I have yet to make it just ''be'' there. :p
P.S.S. This was scheduled... I was bored. ;)
P.P.P.S. For those of you who are interested I'm adding an AG post only part soon of what I plan to sell. I know not all of my followers followed me for the AG part of my blog, so that's why it's separate. ;)

Hair Accessories DIYCYA

Are you wondering what DIYCYA means? Well, let me tell you! :) DIYCYA is Do It Yourself 'Cuz You're Awesome!

DIYCYA: HAIR ACCESSORIES

I love push-ups, and I always thought there was something I could use the bottom for. And so, here comes the DIYCYA!

 You will need:

A hot glue gun
scrap-book tape {optional}
flower or something to put on the push-up bottom
push-up bottom 
 Using your hot glue gun, put a small swirl of glue on your push-up bottom.
 Put your flower on top and press.
 I didn't just use only crochet flowers, I also used fabric flowers!
 For this type of fabric flower, you will need:
Fabric petals
glue gun
scrap-book tape {optional}
push-up bottom
 Place a small drop of glue on your push-up bottom, and press a petal on it. Place a small drop of glue on the petal, and press the next petal on it. If you are using different colored petals, use the next color.
 Repeat until you have used the rest of your petals, or until you are done.

 They are almost done!
 Using your scrap book tape, tape it around the sides of the push-up bottom.
 If your scrap book tape is too big, like mine, you could cut it, or fold it over to the inside side.








   This is what it looks like it my hair! You can't see the scrap-book tape, but it adds a nice touch. :)
If you do this, be sure to tell me, and add the link! :)
P.S. I might be interested in selling some AG dolls and clothes! Any suggestions for where to sell {EX: Amazon, Ebay...}, or tips? :)

hey you. yeah, you.

{Look at me, going all 'offical' and not capitalizing my words and adding periods! ;)}
Last Saturday was the end of 6 weeks. And if you know what that means....

Then you know this..
 The package finally arrived! What was in it, you ask???
 {My ears grew bigger over the course of six weeks ;)}

 Some pearl earrings! Yes, it has been six weeks! Woot hoo! I've only tried gold earrings and these have some sort of special backs, so they won't kill my ears. I plan on going to Claire's and getting some normal, cute {cheap!} earrings, and testing them out. They also gave me coupons {when I got my ears pierced-- got to Claire's!}, so that's a bonus! :)

P.S. Update on the little boy:
He's okay. He tends to make chocolate out of honey {a.k.a. drama queen}, so I should of noticed. The guilt has vanished. I put his arm holder thingy on {he took it off} and declared I was ''injured. Give me a cookie,''. BTW, I didn't get a cookie. :P

Heaven on My Lips

What's your favorite ice cream, or ice cream company?
Mine is Ben&Jerry's, for sure! :D
I'm in LOVE with Bonnard's {I might be misspelling that :p} Buzz, and that's why I was so happy when I found the Ben and Jerry's ice cream lip balm! I think it might be a B and J store only sort of thing, though. I looked and looked for B's Buzz, but I couldn't find it! So thus, I got....:
 Chocolate Fudge Brownie! Picture time! :D
 It's a very very light brown. I was rather surprised, in fact.
It doesn't taste like the ice cream, but it smells like it.
 It's filled to where my finger nail is. So in other words, it's a lot of lip balm {but a girl can never have too many!}.
On unrealted notes:
HAMMY!
My dad for some reason has blocked the comment form on my blog {only for me}, so I can't comment. But I reassure you, I read each and every comment! If you have a question for me, I will answer it in a blog post.
P.S. Beloved Star is having a giveaway! Check it out!

 {Super long post ahead, including things I should of put in a different post :p}
First of all, desk pictures:
 {Sorry for all the blurry pictures :p}
 It says:
''Learning is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily''



 {Because school is a JOB}

I started school today. :p I took a math test {thankfully I didn't flunk}, and later {after lunch} I'll probably start Tapestry of Grace {it's a Christian history reading/writing thingy} after lunch.
Because of school, I'll be posting less often.
Also, because of my CO-OP. The classes I'll be taking this year {if you don't understand what CO-OP is, please look it up, because I have no idea how to explain :)}:
