Something Achieved

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to let everyone know that yesterday i was not a total lazy bum! 
AHHH!
i know right?

I actually did something that 
many wouldn't do on a rainy icky 
day well.... 
actually lots love it so much,
but me, the girl whose hair 
gets frizzy with just one drop of 
rain, doesn't do!

I ran a 5k!
Did everyone hear that?!?!?

Yes!! i know! 
and it only took... well 36 minutes(;

Yes, a 70 year old man did beat me, but let me tell you he was sprinting for his life out there!
and i was just trying to hike up the huge mountains that seemed
to be appearing out of no where.

I have to say if you have never ran one you have never felt so proud/thirsty/tired in your life;)
ok well for a 16 year old girl!(: I mean

I did the race with my daddy he is a good runner, so he actually was practically walking while i was really trying.

Now this isn't my first race I actually have done an 8k but lets just say little kids beat me in that race. It definitely didn't give me any satisfaction of winning;) or beating anyone...
but don't get me wrong 
I Liked doing that race!
Me and My friends pinked out the race
with hot pink E-V-E-R-Y T-H-I-N-G.
it was more of the lets see how long 5 miles can actually take us kind of race...
while my brother 
had finished the whole 8k we were still lingering on our
3rd mile;)
My brother made sure to rub
that in a little too well 
after we finally went through the
finish line...
Uhhh Little Brothers!


We were definitely the winners...
well at least in our own heads!

BUT... I Know we definitely had winning outfits right?!?!

(:

hehe..
first tip if your preparing for a race...
actually train.. do not just
wing it because let me tell you
I thought i could do the 5k no problem because of my experience with the 
8k. 
Yeah Sure. Definitely NOT.
second make sure you dress for the weather
Unlike my 8k experience that had crisp yet pretty blue skied weather my 5k was 
a rain filled cold icky grey skied day that didn't seem to 
help my unpreparedness.
Thinking I would be just fine with shorts and a cut off sleeve shirt wasn't the best plan when 
it started down pouring on
me and those thin clothes
didn't hold any heat WHATSOEVER.
third when you are coming to the finish line smile really big and pretend that the race was the easiest thing you have ever done;) 
Unlike me who looked like they were
either about to 
die of thirst
or about to die from running.
Lets just say I didn't follow the third 
tip at all! 
So better luck with your next race(:

I'd love to hear about your either successful or totally lame running experience
Comment below!


Well that's all for now(:

Fun Embarrassment


How to totally have a great time while embarrassing yourself on your blog(:


step 1:
Take Silly Pictures of yourself... whether on a computer on your phone or on a camera!
Make sure you do your silliest faces you can!(:
Don't hold back and try not to look all Professional because you can tell i definitely was having too much fun to ever look serious!
step 2:
Now take the wierdest pictures and make a blog post about them!
(: Show your personality and then if people can't guess your personality you'll probably have to HINT THEM on about what you were trying to portray in your pictures!
step 3:
Explain to your readers your photos(:


The Explanation for my Photos:
Photo 1:
This is my fishy face (: 
Photo 2: 
This is the laughing so hard that you can hardly open your eyes face It is one of my most used faces... (; I don't usually just meet someone and do this face or the fishy face i think i would immediately creep them out;)so you have to get to know me to actually see this one! or well...
I guess if your reading my blog(: Then you practically already know me huh(:
Photo 3:
This is my success face... Like the ones i use in class when i had just guessed the answer on the test and actually to my surprise it was right!
Photo 4:
This is my I have no idea what your saying so I am going to be in hard thought face(: This is the face i would normally do in History Class when i am really trying to tell my teacher that i have no idea what the answer is... and pleading with him that he shouldn't call on me  to answer in front of the class(: because he will definitely get a Ummm... uhhh...well kind of answer!


So that is my explanation for my pictures!(:
I have to say this is a really fun way to just show people you in a simple and easy and amazingly fun way!
I would definitely say to try doing this type of blog post at least once... just for the fun of it!


<3 Meg




I purposely made this picnik-ed picture because i like these sayings...slash awesome words of encouragement! 

I think they just kinda lighten the mood for this blog post! 

I like taking pictures so the one above is my own;)
Yes,
A LITTLE DARK

but the brightening wasn't working on my photo editing software;)

So dark will be ok for now
Right(:
well good

I have some more ideas for pictures that i want to take! 
A lot of them are nature and flowers because that seems to be the most interesting thing i have to shoot at the moment...
My brother doesn't like my constant "asking" or to him "bugging" him for a photo-shoot for my practice!

So this is the only picture i could get of him
he is growing up(:
awhhhh!

and is finally taller then me!
DEPRESSING

i was kinda hoping his growing could hold off for a little bit longer;)


That's all for now(:

I am not doing so well.... at this blogging thing

Everyone else seems to know exactly what to write about everyday! and all of their themes are so amazing and i am always interested in every thing they say... 

Then I quickly jump onto my blog prepared to write something equally amazing as theirs and then.....


BLAHHHH....
 nothing comes out the way i want it to... 
 everything starts sounding so confusing and soon i am just mumbling about something that isn't even interesting! or mostly just pitying my life filled with homework and projects that have to be done;)

Yup that is pretty much what my blog has come to! 
Boring huh?
I am thinking yes... and if i am admitting then MAN i need to pick it up!!!

So...
I am recently trying to figure out how to get more readers...
learning how to make an etsy banner!
 which i am learning is pretty hard if i say so myself!!!!
I am experimenting with different spring colors!
trying to redo my blog a little 
it is definitely taking a longer time then i thought it would!
I am trying to finish up some orders!
Trying to learn to write in a way people will want to read....
trying to find my sense of humor in writing... ehhhh.... i have not mastered this... yet i want to learn to show my true self in my blogging! (: Maybe ill get better at this!


New Spring Felt Headbands!
Made in Wire and Elastic headbands(:

Very Comfortable!!!(:
Comes in all kinds of different colors(:
If interested shoot me an email!!!

Meet Baby Julia

 Meet Julia Rose:



A normal 6 month old with perfect blue eyes
and yes my
COUSIN(:

so i can brag about her a little bit right?
right...

Recently i went over for a full photo-shoot because little girls can always
act like movie stars(;

it starts at an early age!


Giggles only between Mother and Daughter
We got some pretty adorable pictures(:
i have to say!

Quick Changing
Emotions
of
a BABY


As i was sitting there watching and playing I realized the little giggly julia had turned into a cranky tired one 
and no longer was wanting to 
pose infront of a flashing camera

that is when my 
SWEETPEA DESIGNS 
TAGGLES BLANKET


came to the rescue!!!!


I definitely am glad that i had made her one so long ago!(:

If you have a tired baby at home that just needs some calming down i would definitely recommend a taggles blanket for them!

They are both stylish and comfortable all in the same blanket!

AHHH!!!!

{best of both words collide!}


Just to let everyone know 
I haven't disappeared!
Just have been amazingly busy lately
with homework, a whole science fair project, and  spanish tests. 

Everything so crammed into my head I have had 

{NO TIME}
to do anything but homework!

YUCK!

What I did do the other day does excite me(:
I recently tried redoing my 
.....FAVORITE....
shoes ever!!!

MY TOMS!

They make my life so much better!

plus they are the most comfortable shoes you could ever wear!!!

BUT....
since i love them too much
they got holes in them!

But I can't throw them out so i am 
"TRYING"  going to fix them for the second time.. (1 attempt was a fail)



BEFORE!!!!

I took these holes and repaired them by stitch-ing up the holes...
pretty sloppy 
but i wasn't going to try being a perfectionist...

then i took MODGE PODGE and put a piece of cute fabric over the top! 
Now only to see if this will actually work 

I'll make sure to blog about it when i get the chance to wear them!

Will tell you when i try them out!!!(:

AFTER:
aren't they cute!?!?

Leave a comment! <3333

Do you have a pair of beloved favorite shoes that you can't seem to get rid of...
try redoing them!


Much Love,
MEG
