My Year (so far)

Hello!

Sorry for the huge break in posting.  I have been super busy, first with school, and then with VBS and volunteer work  I just wanted to do an update post of sorts so you can see what has been going on in my life this year!

School:

I finished middle school!!! Yay!!!  Now begins high school.......  Since I will be homeschooled through high school, this past semester has been filled with lots of planning for the coming years.

VBS:

Our church VBS this year was a huge success.  We had over 85 kids each day!  It was such an answer to prayer.

Volunteer work:

This summer I am volunteering at our church camp.  My job list includes dishwasher, co-counseler, day camp leader, and craft lady.  :)  Volunteering there has been such a blessing to me, and I truly love it there!

So there is a small snapshot into what has been happening in my life!

My Favorite Snacks

Fresh, warm bread+ Summer sausage+ A slice of cheese

Popcorn (Preferably buttered) + Hot Tamales

What's In My Closet

Do you remember when I did a poll over a year ago?  I came across the results recently.  The post series that won was "What's In My Closet."  I am excited to announce that this series is going live in March!  I will be posting regularly on Mondays and Thursdays with the contents of my closet.  Until then, I will just be posting on Mondays.

Polka Dot Blouse

This spring, I picked up a sleeveless polka dot top that had some really ugly ruffles on the neckline.  Unfortunately, I don't have a "before" picture. I ripped the ruffles off, and sewed the shirt back up. Here is the finished product:

You might have already seen this outfit in one of my ThredUp posts.

Fresh Bread

I have been on a french bread kick recently.

(And yes, those are doughnuts.)

ThredUp Final

I ended up with 4 skirts, 4 tops, 2 cardigans, and a belt.

The ones I sent back:

Let me know what you think about my choices!

ThredUp Cardigans+Belt

Finally, I purchased 3 cardigans and a belt.  I love how cardigans can immediately change a summer t- shirt into a warm winter combination.

I wanted a long black cardigan to wear with some of my outfits.  This was perfect!
