My Eye in Art

I like to draw and love art. I enjoy making things in Paint because I don't have any other cool art programs other than a trial version of Corel Painter Essentials. While I was at my Pawpaw's house, I created this bitmap image of my eye. I have a birthmark in my eye called a nevus. It is a mole on my iris. My eyes are blue, but there is this brown spot in my eyes and my mom says that it is the spot on me that is "hers". She has brown eyes and my dad has blue eyes.

My brother has been putting artwork on his blog, so I thought I would share some of mine, too. We both love to make artwork.

Happy belated fourth of July!

Scrapbooking

I'm in a club called the Keepers of the Faith. It is like a Girl Scout club - but is more Christian based. We earn badges like Girl Scouts and have a sash to pin them on. One of the badges we can get is for scrapbooking. We had a meeting last week and I earned my badge by doing a paper-bag scrapbook. My mom helped me with mine. Here's a picture of me with my badge and my book.

Growing in Grace is hosting a scrapbooking contest and they are giving away a kit worth 100$. I hope that I can win it, because I really love to do scrapbooking with my mom.


Love in Him,

Great Tunes

My mom has a food blog called Gathering Manna. At the bottom of her food blog if you scroll all the way down and hit the 'play button', you can listen to her favorite music. I love her little music thingamabob in there. It shuffles music so you don't have to pick them all the time! It is awesome. The site she uses to create it is a pain to use. Also, it had some tacky advertisements. So be warned if you have young kids - I wasn't even allowed in the room while my mom was making the music box. Maybe she'll let me put her song box at the bottom of MY blog?! I'll ask and see!

"Tune For Jack - Lemon Jelly" is a really cool song. Lemon Jelly is a British band that plays 'electronic' music. Sting is an older singer that has some great love songs. She didn't put any Zoe Girl in her music box. I really like them. You can go to their site and listen to clips of their songs. I love Zoe Girls' website. I have it linked on my sidebar.

Enjoy the music!

In Him,

Presents!!!

Last week was my birthday! I got two Webkinz! If you don't know what that is, you can go here - Webkinz.com! I already put one of them on the Website! My other gifts were - A bead kit, Design a purse kit, Littlest Pet Shop "Get Better Center", Money$, WEBKINZ, little text things , A little scarf for the kitty Webkinz and a certificate $50.00 to Toys R Us !!! I may get some more things later but thats all that I got earlier.

I hope that you have a great birthday earlier this year, too! Remember to get your birthday and Valentines cards in the mail on time (unlike us). If we forget your birthday, you will most likely get a card in the mail later. My mom sends all her cards out weeks late.

Sincerely, Mees-Alees

Snowman Poems

Hello. This is Mees-Alees. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I wanted to share a few poems that I think are cute!

Snowball

I made a little snowball

As perfect as could be.

Thought I'd keep it as a pet

And let it sleep with me.

I made it some pajamas

And a pillow for it's head

Then last night night it ran away,

But first- it wet the bed.

- Shel Silverstein

Snowman

Twas the first day of springtime,

And the snowman stood alone

As the winter snows were melting

And the pine trees seemed to groan,

"Ah, you poor sad smiling snowman,

You'll be melting by and by."

Said the snowman,"What a pity,

For I'd like to see July.

Yes, I'd like to see July, and please don't ask me why.

But I'd like to, yes I'd like to, oh I'd like to see July.

Chirped a robin just arriving,

"Seasons come come and seasons go,

And the greatest ice crumble

When it's flowers' time to grow.

And as one thing is beginning

So another thing must die,

And there's never been a snowman

Who has ever seen July.

No, they never see July, no matter how they try.

No, they never ever, never ever, never see July."

But the snowman sniffed his carrot nose

And said, "At least I'll try,"

And he bravely smiled his frosty smile

And blinked his coal black eye.

And there he stood and faced the sun

A blazin' from the sky---

And I really cannot tell you

If he ever saw July.

Did he ever see July? You can guess as well as I

If he ever, if he never, if he ever saw July.

- Shel Silverstein

The Snowman

S is for snowman

Round and fat.

Sitting outside,

Wearing a hat.

I brought him inside,

And sat him on the mat.

And before very long,

The snowman was flat.

My First Post

Hi. This is Morgan - Sprittibee's daughter. I finally got my own blog. I've been wanting one for a long time and my mom told me that if I did my school work and chores without being told she would let me start posting in here.

For those of you who don't know my mom, I'll fill you in on who I am. I am a homeschool kid. I'm in elementary school. This blog is going to be my project blog for school, for fun, and for keeping in touch with friends. My parents are checking in on the blog and monitoring my emails to make sure no crazy people email me.

I love cats, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, GeeArt, my hermit crabs, our caterpillar that ran away, snowmen, Christmas, snow, Texas, my brother, my parents, Jesus, my family, enchiladas, horses, Legos, Star Wars, art, xbox, Italy, my friends, organizing things, cooking, stuffed animals, and music. My favorite band is Zoe Girls.

If you know some cool elementary kids who homeschool, send them my way. I'd love to chat with them through my blog. Of course, my mom and dad will have to approve the message! Have a super day!
