New Design! ♥

Yellow roses a.k.a. friendship flowers :) ♥

Hi everybody!! I know it's been awhile- but is that anything new? ;)
I didn't want to do a new Blog post until I had my new design up, though :D Isn't it amazing!? Mary Ann from Shutter Happy designed it for me and I LOVE it!! The bright colors are totally me and I love how if you scroll over my posts name it changes from pink to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple... :) Same with my comments- is it not adorable?? I just need to get my pages and stuff into my drop down menus... Tayllooorrr- this'll require your help ;) Annnnnnd I finally have a signature! Wahoo!! I love it, love it, love it! Thanks again, Mary Ann ♥


So anyways, I've been keeping myself busy :) First of all, I never want to leave the ferrets ;) Hahaa, it's really hard if we have to go somewhere in the afternoon and leave them behind :( But we manage :) And we've been home alot anyways ;)
Guess whatt?? I'm going to enter a drawing contest for Google :) It's called "Doodle for Google" and it's from grades k through 12 :) The theme is "If I could travel in time, I'd visit". I made one 'doodle' already and it was in the 1800's :) I love the huge dresses they wore down south ♥ And they're gorgeous parties and how everything was always perfect :) (until the Civil War anyways ;) But I'm making another one right now that's themed for the 60's- so when I'm done I can pick what one I want to send in :) And guess what people!? Katy Perry is one of the guest judges! Pretty awesome right?

Here's how they'll be judging it:


And I will be that one National Winner :) I believe that there will be online voting for the National Finalists on May 2-10... so when it comes around I'll make sure to remind everyone ;)

     

The prizes are amazing for it! You get a $30,000 college scholarship to wherever you want, a Google Chromebook computer, a tshirt with your design on it, a Wacom digital design tablet, a trip to NY for the award ceremony, a $50,000 technology grant to your school (which it says what that would be for if your homeschooled- but I can't find where I saw that again :P) plus, your design goes up on Google's front page for a day, and your doodle gets printed on Crayola's crayon box (Crayola is sponsoring it)! Pretty sweet- right?? I can't wait :) Millions of people will see my drawing! ;D Haha, so anyways, I've been working on that... :)

Last Saturday our cousin, Maddie, slept over ♥ It was so much fun! Just like always- we made some memories... :) And they shall last forever in these videos ♥ Enjoy! (sorry, if you see these videos multiple times- I think Mom and Taylor are going to post them too... Just because they're SO. AWESOME. ;)

Tomorrow me, Riley, Taylor, and our cousins, Maddie, Payne and Mimi are sleeping over at Grampa's! If you've never heard me talk about how amazing Grampa's sleepovers are- you can read about or last one (in October) on Taylor's Blog :) She about says it all! ♥

And so- that's about it :) Enjoy your weekend! ♥

(P.s. I've enter 2 amazing giveaways on Lucia's Blog! Check them out here and here!!)

Lol ~ I bet by the time the deadline rolls around you'll have half a dozen drawings to choose from... ;) Yes, the videos are totally awesome, you guys did a great job. Let's see what you can come up with at the next sleepover. And yes, the ferrets are hard to leave. I'm smitten. :) The blog looks fantastic, so yellowy, which is perfectly perfect for you. :)

Ohh no! I just realized the code for your button is messed up - I'm on my iPod right now but I can definitely fix it tomorrow! Sorry about that!
Thanks for the shoutout, though :) and like I told your sister, that stop motion video is completely epic!

Aaah, I LOVE your new design!! Isn't Mary Ann an HTML genius? :D

As for your Google doodles, the 1800's one is absolutely gorgeous, but I LOVE the 60's one. Can't wait to see that one finished!

And yeah, our sleepover was pretty awesome, and so are our videos!! You did a great job on Party Rock. ;) Thanks for linking to my blog, by the way!
