So Sorry! :(

Hi guys! I just want to say I am so sorry for not posting in a while. I have so much going on, from school to other stuff. I know excuses aren't exactly a reason to forgive me, but I really, really am sorry. Anyways, you guys have waited long enough for a post, so let's get down to business!

 First things first, right now I am spending the night with one of my friends named Hannah! We are working on hopefully getting her a blog soon, so when she does, I will post it on here and you guys can come check it out!

 Moving on to beauty, can I just some love on my Burt's Bees? I mean really, guys, the stuff is just wonderful. Right now I am really in love with the tinted lip balm in the shade "Rose." It is super light and sheer, and also really soft on your lips, and it is a nice red color. <3

 In the fashion world, can I even explain how much I am loving sweaters? Where I live it is still way too hot to wear sweaters, but I seriously have a ton that I am really looking forward to wearing soon!

Anyways, off to have some fun, so I will talk to you guys soon! Love ya!

 Love,

Bookshelf Tour!!!

 Hi everyone! This is a specially requested post, requested by "Tempy Tucker"! So, I am going to give you guys a quick tour of my bookshelf and some of its special features!

So, this is just the overview of my bookshelf, top to bottom, with all of my books and odd little doodads. Here she is, in all of her  blazing glory:

 
 
This is the very tippy-top shelf. It just has some porcelain figurines of angels and a lady. I also have a flower pot and two birthday cards.
 


Next is my first book shelf. It is covered with books because everyone in my family is an avid reader, especially my mom and me. So I have some random books, my Hunger Games series, the Inkheart series, some more random books, my The Clique series. I also have a little rose, some trophies, and a clay pot I made in 6th grade.


 
On the next shelf is a couple Stephen King novels, some classics (did I mention all of my books are in alphabetical order by author's last name?) Next are my Twilight books (don't like Twilight) and all of my Rick Riordan books. And of course, some random books are scattered amongst the shelf, as is with all of the shelves. I also have another trophy and a plaque,  picture I painted, a fairy, and a little Irish souvenir.

 
I really love the 4th shelf. It has my Divergent series, my Harry Potter boxed set (1-6) followed by the 7th next to the box, The Catcher in the Rye, Treasure Island, my Series of Unfortunate Events series, and a couple of miscellaneous books.
 
 
On the second to last shelf, I have my The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making book, my Little House on the Prairie boxed set, a cupcake piggy-bank from Target, a little doll that reverses from Goldilocks to the 3 bears, and some random little treasures.
 
 
 
The bottom shelf just has some random papers, school textbooks, notebooks, and my big white binder full of notebook paper. Since you can see it okay in the picture below, and it isn't an interesting shelf, I won't upload a picture just for that 6th shelf. You can admire its "beauty?" from the above picture. :)
 
Here are just some close-ups of cool stuff on my shelves.
 
1st) Best birthday card. I got this birthday card from my grandparents when I turned 10, and it has little hand-stitched hedgehogs on it. They are hand-sewn cards from Ireland, how cool is that?
 
 
 
2nd) A picture of a popsicle I painted a couple years ago.  It's a strawberry chocolate-dipped ice cream treat against a bright orange background.
 
 
Next, I have a little clay pot I made way back in the 6th grade. I used to have a hedgehog named Herbert, so I donned the top with two little hedgies with an apple balanced on their noses, and a little heart-shaped card and flower in front of them.
 
 
 
The last cool thing is a picture of my kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle in Ireland. I went to Ireland when I was not yet 10, and we went to this castle and I was brave enough to do that. It was super scary, but also really cool.
 
 
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and have a Spectacular Saturday!
 
 Love,
