newspaper nails!

a few things to know:

kylie, one of our fabulous bloggers has been revoked of her blogging privileges. (her parents grounded her) . and we can't wait to hear from her when she can come back.  so from hear on its me & emily!

on a lighter note, we have 10 days tell christmas! 

i also have a new obbsession- newspaper nails. little newspaper cut outs are made into adorable nail toppers! whats not to love?  heres how to:

• cut 10 pieces of newspaper, big enough to cover each nail
• paint your nails and let them dry, dont apply topcoat yet. (light colors work best)
• once dry, dip a single nail into a small bowl of alcohol, let sit in the bowl for about 10 seconds
• while the nail is still wet lightly press the newspaper clipping on the nail, should take about 5 seconds
• pull the clipping off to reveal the ink stain from the newspaper! apply topcoat to lock the ink in.

stay fabulous,

elle

december 14. quote

quote of the day

"dont cry because its over,

smile because it happened."

                      -anonymous

whats the point

pretending, depending, defending, offending. four things that in the end make everybody mad. 

pretending: fake it until you make it.. bad idea.

depending: counting on other peoples opinion to make yourself feel better.. not worth it.


defending: taking things to personally.. nobody likes being wrong, especially me. personality flaws aren't fun. 


offending: speaking without thinking.. gets us all in trouble.


we all know somebody that fits each one perfectly, maybe even ourselves. but from here on, forgive & forget.

winter nights

how i love coming home to freshly baked cookies! decorating the house for christmas. meaning there is lights everywhere! and then just doing nothing because its way too cold outside. after laying around, grabbing a cup of hot chocolate and sitting on my porch. how i love those winter nights before the holidays wrapping presents and putting them under the tree. going iceskating and wearing those ugly christmas sweaters that you secretly love. make this holiday season a great one! and make sure not to forget what its truley about..family!

quote of the day:

I believe in pink.

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.

I believe in kissing, kissing alot. 

I believe in being strong, when everything seems to be going wrong.

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.

I believe that tomorrow is another day.

And I believe in miracles.

WORDS.OF.WISDOM.

best friend. 2 words, 10 letters, one meaning! nobody is who they are.. without their best friend.
you know everything about eachother.. and do everything together. one of the many perks of having a life long unbiological sister is the vending sessions. being able to talk about anything.. number one subject "BOYS!" middle school crushes or high school boyfriends.. no matter what it is, your best friend knows everything about it.(: only being in eighth grade, not knowing much about love except what i see in movies i can only really learn from those i look up to. a wise person once told me, "one day your going to marry your best friend. one day the man in your life, is going to be the one you know everything about, spend all your time with and talk to the most." love is a big word. so is friend. they both need trust. so trust your best (guy) friend and fall in love .

little miss avery

its amazing how little things can make you so happy. today, i finger painted and made a ginger bread house with the kids i babysit. it was {surprisingly} fun, then i popped in a movie and little avery looked at me and told me she wanted to be just like me. I've never been so inspired to be better at everything i say and do. 

XOXO

sick day.

thank the good lord for (fake)sick days. this morning i woke up and had a "raging headache" and so i got to sleep in and relax. which is exactly what i needed. and everything was fabulous, until i realized play auditions weren't over at my school and if i wanted to score Cindy-Lou-who in seussical the musical the only place i shouldn't be, is watching kathy-lee & hoda on the today show.



from here on: i'm heading back to school, even when kathy-lee and hoda are as witty as ever. 
 

XOXO

starting off

Welcome to OUR story.

Yes, our means there's three of us.

Writing your first entry, tough stuff. Wouldn't you agree? We are here to make our own yellow brick road in blogging. <-- Man, were funny. It's the funny things in life that we want to share with you guys. But don't get the wrong impression that we don't know what we are talking about either. Were three different eighth graders with a lot to talk about. Hope you want to listen!
