 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 :)}:
Cake Decorating {except the we'll be practicing on paper :p}

Your Blog is Great Award!

Yes, I count this as important. If I don't do it now, I'll forget. :p
MADELINE (A different Madeline--it'd be weird to give myself awards ;) from Totally Me! gave me the award! Storyteller from The Story Club {I'm in that, so follow it! Please.} also gave it to me. WOOT!


 The Rules!

1. Put a link to who gave you the award.
2. Put the award on your post.
3. Choose 5 blogs to receive the award.
4. Let them know you awarded them.
5. Make sure to post this set of rules in your post!

1.  Truly, Utterly, Carolyn 
2.  Viviness & AG 
3.  The Pink Dancer 
4.  Girlz of God 
5.  Klarabelle Candy 

Thanks so much for awarding me Madeline and Storyteller! 

 

Award

Yay!

Rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you and give the link:
Thanks so much Jess!
2. Tell us why the idea of blogging popped up and why you still write on it.
 Blogging is a way of expressing your feelings, and I plain out enjoy it. I wouldn't be the person I am today without writing and blogging. I've always loved blogs like DollDiaries and AmericanGirlFan, and then one day I just thought: 'Hey, I could do that myself! I could be a rich blogger...' *evil laugh*
3. Describe a usual day of your life:
In summer, my day goes like this:
Wake up, take forever deciding what to eat, get dressed in ballet clothes (and brush teeth and stuff), take the 1 hour 30 minutes (three times a week!) class, eat a really late lunch, and then lie on the couch thinking how sore I am. :)
4. The best collaboration with a blogger?
I've really enjoyed Becca, da Spicys, and so many more! I just can't count you all. <3
5. The worst collaboration with a blogger?
I refuse to answer that. I don't really know what collaboration means anyway (what the darn tootin' heck does collaboration mean? If I hadn't searched it I would of thought you made it up!!)
6. Explain what this blog means to you
I like knowing people read every word of what I write. I like knowing I have a pretty blog. I like knowing I have bloggie friends. This blog means a lot to me. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost it. It's different than writing on the computer; because with blogging you know people know what you're going through and will pray for you. You're not alone.
7. Nominate 5 bloggers for this award:
1. Jamie's Jottings
2. Sunshine Valley
3. Truly, Utterly, Carolyn
4. Adventures in District 12
5. Through A.J.'s eyes
If you weren't awarded--it was so hard to pick! But I love all of your blogs, so here's a virtual cupcake:

Just for you!
8. Comment on the nominated's blog and tell them they were nominated!

Six Months Ago...

I started this blog.
 December 22, 2011.
Okay, I know I'm a day early; but I have packing to do tomorrow.
I never thought it would improve any. It would just always be me, I thought, no followers. But I was so wrong. I  have 20 followers, 2,169 views, and people from USA, France, Australia, and Netherlands have viewed my blog. I'm so thankful!
I also want to thank Becca . Though she was my third follower {I think...}, we've done so much together. We email and we started two blogs together and we sometimes include each other in our posts! So, thank you, Becca. :o)
I'm changing my blog.
Don't get me wrong, I still love dolls! But all through out this half of a year I've really wanted to do some ''life'' posts. Things about stuff I like, about movies I want to review and other stuff. Since this is {was} a doll based blog, I thought it'd be wrong. Awkward. Bad, possibly.
It'll still be mostly about dolls, but I'll change the name and a few other things. I hope you understand; and it'll still be me writing!!!!! :)
On to other things....
My dolls and I want to celebrate with you! WOOT!! You have to wait until Saturday to see the celebration, though. :p
