Not that type of dream! ;) I had a dream that someone hacked my blog, and erased all of my posts and wrote new ones! They also took off my background and moved a bunch of things on the sidebar. It was one of those dreams that are so real that you almost cry if the dream is about something bad. I was *probably* in about tears when I found out my whole blog was messed up horribly.
Call me a nerd, but wouldn't YOU cry, or even just a little bit, if your blog was messed up and all of your memorable posts were gone, and maybe even all your followers you worked hard for? Are you misty-eyed now just thinking about it? Huh? Huh? ;)
I hope to have another "Say What??" contest, because only two people entered, but that's okay because I know people are/were super busy with getting ready for school. I bet you girls didn't notice that Rebecca was actually holding a balloon! You could only see the string though. And the winner of the FULL blog makeover, is, Pryia! Congrats!!! Please email me at my Chunkey Monkey email so we can work out the details. Thanks!
I GOT MY FRONT HANDSPRING TODAY! I had it on the long tumble tramp at gymnastics, but since most people don't own a long trampoline, my bestie, Meerah, is amazing at teaching herself moves, such as a front brandi. {Don't ask what it is, I don't either!} She also is in the circus! I NEED to go to the circus, because that's where I belong! ;) Even my teacher agrees! ;)
Happy September, girlies! It's officially the first day of September! Who has already started school? I start on the 12th. We got assigned a 20 page, front and back, and I still have 8 and 1/2 pages left. But that's not too bad! I can't wait to start school! But sadly, my bestie, Meerah, {who is a follower} isn't in my class! :(
I entered American Girl Contest a couple of weeks ago, and the first theme is "Celebration". I got to take the photo tonight, and I will also send in my head shot after I edit it. :)

Fall. The season *most* students do not look forward to. It's time for h.o.m.e.w.o.r.k. But it's also the time for much for than that. It's time for leaves,new friends, paper, pencils,glue,raking,leave piles,hoodies,gloves,scarves,rulers,teachers,walks,cold nights,wind,breezes,red,orange,brown,yellow,harvest, Thanksgiving,thank you,your welcome,turkey,pilgrims, mayflower,corn,pumpkins,halloween,purple,green,orange,black,creepy,witches,candy,trick o' treating,decorations,lights,costumes,masks,October,November, September, chocolate,parties, and cold nights.
September is about school and new friendships.
October is about creepy Halloween nights and costumes.
November is for giving thanks for all of those you love and more.
♥ I love Autumn. It is truly the best time of the year, for me. I love seeing the crisp leaves lay upon the faded green grass, looking up at the red,orange, and yellow trees, waiting for more friends to join the great pig leaf pile for kids to jump in. I love just walking on the crunchy leaves in the cold breeze. Fall, don't ever leave, ever. ♥

how to | blog button
Hi Girlies!
A while ago, I was searching Google on how to make a blog button. I could NEVR find a easy enough tutorial, until I came across Sew. Craft. Create. It was so simple! Now, using her code, I will tell you how to make one!. A blog button is a picture in which you can "grab" using a code, then you can add it to your side bar. Here is one I made for Pryia
A while ago, I was searching Google on how to make a blog button. I could NEVR find a easy enough tutorial, until I came across Sew. Craft. Create. It was so simple! Now, using her code, I will tell you how to make one!. A blog button is a picture in which you can "grab" using a code, then you can add it to your side bar. Here is one I made for Pryia
{Credit to Sew. Craft. Create. and Adorkable. Follow their blogs, THEY ARE AWESOME!}
First, you are going to have to make the actual picture. I love to use Picnik to make mine.
Second, size it to about 200x200, or until it is big/small enough to fit on your side bar {or where ever you would like it}.
Then, upload it to Photobucket, or another file sharing website.
After you do that, you will need to open Word or another document program. Copy and paste this code on to the page:
<center><a href="Blog Address" target="_blank" title="Blog Title"><img alt="Blog Title" width= "150" src="Code from photo" /></a></center>
<center><textarea id="code-source" name="code-source" rows="3">&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="Blog Address"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src=" Code from photo" width="125"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/ center&gt;</textarea></center>
<center><textarea id="code-source" name="code-source" rows="3">&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="Blog Address"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src=" Code from photo" width="125"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/ center&gt;</textarea></center>
You will need to fill in the blue text to what it says. On Photobucket, you will take the HTML code from underneath the photo. I highly recommend using Photobucket for 100% results.
Be very, very, careful when you replace the blue text. If you delete just one thing, your whole entire button will not work.
When I was just searching Google for cool things for my blog, I came across Adorkable and her AWESOME tutorial on how to make a hover over image. Thanks, Adorkable! {I love your blog!}
If you want to make a switching button with TWO photos when you hover over it, use this code instead when placing the code for the button:
<a href="Blog Address">
<img src="First Image you want to show up BEFORE you hover over"
onmouseover="this.src=&#39;Second Image you want to show up AFTER you hover over.&#39;"
onmouseout="this.src=&#39;First Image Again&#39;"
alt="Optional Text " /></a>
<img src="First Image you want to show up BEFORE you hover over"
onmouseover="this.src=&#39;Second Image you want to show up AFTER you hover over.&#39;"
onmouseout="this.src=&#39;First Image Again&#39;"
alt="Optional Text " /></a>
Use that code instead of the HTML codes from Photobucket on your blog button!

onverse! HOT PINK and GLITTER converse, may I add. AWESOME! XD I am so exited! My mom and I were walking through the mall, and we had only passed a couple stores 'till I spotted these with my X-Ray sparkle vision. I jumped in the store and started at them with awe. A saleswomen went to the back to see if they had my size. These Converse didn't come in children
sizes, but the Converse sizes are confusing, so she gave us the smallest size possible. When I tried them on, they were a little big, and I had to grow in them for a while. But, I needed new school shoes, anyways, right?? Right. When I tied them a little tighter, they fit much better. I am SO happy I got them. I could of gotten some white and greyish-black zebra ones with purple on the lip and the inside instead of these, but WHO could resist these?? Right. No one. :) Oh, did I mention Chunkey Monkey and I have matching Converse? Oh yes.
