Featured follower (Mary)

My name is Mary Susannah, but I often go by Sue-Sue, Susie Lou and Susan according to different people, but I much prefer plain ol' Mary. I live in a tiny town deep in the country where everybody knows your name, and while I really love it here...I do enjoy going to the city once and a while to go shopping at the mall, eating at fancy restaurants and going to concerts. I love to bake and cook just about anything. I also enjoy reading, writing, singing, taking pictures and blogging (of course). I'm not a big fan of sports...maybe because I'm kind of short and not very strong so I have never been good at them, but I do enjoy shooting hoops once in a while and I love to go bowling...(if you call that a sport) As for my blog, it is kind of like a diary of my life, where I can post bits and pieces of whats going on in my own little world. I try to keep things fun and interesting for everyone who visits my blog, as well as sharing my faith and love for Christ...without Him I don't know where I'd be in life. I strive everyday to be more like Him, and while I also fail daily...He is always there to lovingly pick me up and set me back on the right track. As you can see, I'm not much different from any other teenage girl. I often find myself longing for approval, beauty and love- but then I have that little reminder that I already am all that and much more in the sight of God...no matter what earthly humans might say. I am my own unique person, nothing more, nothing less...and even better, I am God's.

And while the subject is me...I have been inspired along with a bunch of other bloggers to join Olivia's "People Are Imperfect Campaign For Bloggers Who Are Awesome" or "PAICFBWAA" It's where you muster up enough courage to add a not-so-great picture of yourself where you are totally and naturally you...no make-up, editing or airbrushing...and while I don't wear make up...(other then shiny chap sticks/glosses, and I do curl my eyelashes and trim my eyebrows...but does that doesn't necessarily count as make-up.) But I do often tweak up my pictures before posting them on my blog and other things...as in I boost up the color and lighting and do a bit of softening or sharpening here and there. At first I didn't think I would join "PAICFBWAA"...but why not? We were made in God's image...and I shouldn't be embarrassed to show what I really and truly look like...sooooo...

-here you are- Yours Truly...



OH MY GOSH YOU ARE GORGEOUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You did it perfectly!

what do ya'll think?

Hi Awesome, Cool, Amazing ,Sweet followers ♥!
SO sorry I wasn't about to do "Fashion Friday" this week (and last we and the last week ;) Sorry I have been really busy. I thought you were supposed to get LESS busy in the summer time *sigh* anyways. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas about what Other things I should do on my blog(like things to improve it) I want people to be *interested*I want them to *want* to read it. Do you guys have any ideas? it's an idea you got from another blog and you just love reading that blog because of it. Or maybe it's something you do on your blog that people love to here about, maybe you just made one up! Please comment and give suggestions.
Ps also i have NO idea how to get a new background on blogger (because of those changes) could you guys tell me how??

Elmer (that's what my sissy used to call me ♥ :)

My every day life

As you can see me and my siblings had some fun the other day. Lets just say that one of us (MAYBE it was me ;) started it by taking a clump of mud and throwing it at the back of my sisters head. By the end we ALL looked like this, even Jacob was muddy, but he was the smart one and he didn't want to be in the picture looking like he did, plus we needed SOMEONE to take the picture! My parents thought it was funny too. We used the show them the picture AFTER your you get cleaned up trick) works every time ;)

blog contest, and other....stuff (can you tell i'm running out of title ideas?)

Hi blogger's,
So I'm gonna do a Hairstyle blog contest. Just post a picture (and a tutorial) of you favorite hairstyle.I will judge you by...
How cute the hairstyle is, and How easy your tutorial is to understand (you can do a video if step by step instructions). *Deadline* Friday 24. That gives you a week to do the tutorial and post it.

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a header and would make it for me. I really have no idea how it works ( No I'm not a 4 year old ;). If you are willing to make a header for me ( that would be amazing!) please leave a comment)
Have fun!

Dreamer,Dreamer,Dreamer.

so today my sister and i started 4h barrel racing for the first time. So let me start from the beginning. My sister was going to ride Dreamer (the horse we lease) over to 4H (the stable is like a mile away from where we do 4H). So she started down the driveway and my family and i were in the car, we were going to drive behind her so that traffic wouldn't come by so fast. She crossed the rode no problem, until we got to the other side of the rode where she was going to cross to get into the field. Dreamer did NOT want to go through the grass so, naturally she reared (actually not so naturally it was really scary). My sis stayed on, and it was a full out rear ( you must understand that we were on the side of the rode with cars whizzing by and tall grass, so you can hardly blame her.) Anyways my sister was brave enough to try to bring her through the grass one more time. She made it through with a little trouble, the normal snorting, hopping etc. When she made it through my family and I (My sis is WAY more brave than me, when she reared i was so scared that i started crying, it was that bad) went around the field to the other side, in the car. she made it to the end where we were and my mom asked "how did it go"  my sister said "well....i fell off" my mom freaked out a little (it's only natural) and i freaked out A LOT! lol She wasn't hurt and she was hardly even scared (at least she didn't act that way, she is SO MUCH braver than me ;)  She was pretty bad for the rest of the night, I was riding her in 4H my sis just rode her over for me because i was too afraid xP Nobody died though so that's good! It was really stressful though. Dreamer is usually a really good horse, but she was scared and it was a new place with new people hopefully next week will go better!

I have an idea

Hello,
i know what  your thinking "oh no Emily has another idea this can't be good" ;) But just hear me out! ;) I was thinking this might be a cool idea (well  I think it's cool please tell me if you think it's stupid...i can take it ;) Any who I was thinking i would choose one of my followers to be my "featured/interviewed follower" ( i would choose one once a week) So i would randomly choose someone and they would write a post about themselves. Do you think that's a good idea?

Horribly Wrong!

Hi,
I am really sorry for a long time my computer wasn't working so i wasn't able to post! SO sorry.

I made a batch of cookies today, and something went HORRIBLY WRONG i don't think i put enough flour in so when i went to take them out they were all run together! Also they were burned they cooked to fast the middle wasn't done but the outside was done (plenty done)! I guess you learn from your mistakes!
