1. First find a long - sleeve button up shirt. 2. Find a dark - colored jacket. Next find a tan winter c oat . Ca r hartt coats are fine - that's what I did for my costume ;). 3.

Now put on the co stume .  Put on the different items of clothing according to the order of the steps. Bonus : If you want try getting some washable light brown hair coloring. This will not wor k on black hair.    

Hi! I hope at least some of you were able to come to the benefit. Petite Craft Shop - (my business) made about 60 dollars to give to the Mengarelli's. I really hope that people made a lot of donations. I did not mention this in my previous blog post, but wanted to mention it in my update. There was a silent auction, in which Jamberry and a few other local business donated baskets full of the product in which they sell. If you were at the benefit you might have seen Lisa Mengarelli. She came with her husband Ben and their son Nick . As I might of mentioned in the previous blog post, all the money that they make at the benefit - ( from Avon, Mary Kay, Petite Craft Shop, the silent auction, etc.) will go to help with the Mengarelli's medical bills. Lisa is feeling better, though their medical expenses are still high. Please pray for the Mengarelli's. Pray that there would be enough money to cover the medical expenses, that Lisa's son, Nick, would take everything ok and i...

Lisa Mengarelli is a nurse, a mother, and a wife. She recently had everything below the knee removed on her right leg. She really is the sweetest, most wonderful person. Calvary Baptist Church has already agreed to host the benefit for Lisa and her husband Ben. The benefit is to help raise money to give to the Mengarelli's, to help pay for Lisa's medical bills. The benefit will be at Calvary Baptist's gymnasium, on School Street, Normal, IL. I will have a booth set up there, along with Jamberry, 31 ~ bags, and lots of others. At my booth I will have doll clothes, potholders, and bookmarks. I will encourage you to come to the benefit. It is a open-house. Food will be served. The benefit will take place on Nov. 5th, 2015,  5pm - 8pm. I hope you can come!     

It has been about two weeks maybe more since Peaches got her spay. If you already didn't know Peaches my kitten. On September 30 th of this year she will be five months old. For about three days after surgery she turned into ''Wild Cat''. It was morning time and my sister was sitting pleasantly on the couch doing who-knows-what. All of a sudden Peaches jumps up onto the couch from behind the corner, and leaped onto my sister's face. My sister cried. I wouldn't blame her. Of course the minute Peaches hit my sisters face she ran off pretending to be all insistent. Right now she is sleeping behind me(I am on the edge of my seat). She is completely back to normal. Though I will warn you that from 9:00pm - 8:00am she tries to ''relive'' Wild Cat. Nothing extreme like jumping into people's faces or anything but little things like as soon as your off the last step stairs clinging onto your leg until you shake her off. Witch if you didn't no...

Meet my cat Peaches. She is around four months old. I have had her since June 28 th of 2015. Tomorrow is when she will get spayed.  As you can tell tomorrow will be a big day for her. We need your prayers. I am very sad, but know this has to be done. By Saturday she should be feeling better. I will give you an update. Please pray for us.

My mom has a lot of essential oils.  If you don't have/aren't interested in essential oils then your missing out on some awesome medicine and air-freshener .  Try out essential oils, or if you already have essential oils, then try out some brands of essential oils we know you can trust:            Rocky Mountain Oils, Young Living ~ and sometimes for something good smelling rather than healing & healthy try NOW essential oils .  Essential oils are also good at helping people feel good. -for instance, when someone is sick.  Some people think all they are good at is smelling good. ~But that is so not true.  Believe it or not essential oils are better at healing people than smelling good.  And once again you're right, essential oils are good at smelling good, especially Lavender .  We usually buy essential oils off line, most of the times we buy our oils & essential oil supplies at/off: The R...

I have a baby sister and a baby brother and they love the bath.  My baby sister will sometimes get in the bath with my 5 year-old little brother, Clive.  Since me and my brother each have bath toys of our own (not including her own)the bath tub is usually full of bath toys.  But my little brother Crosby usually takes a bath in the sink.  Sometimes my mom puts my little brother, Crosby in the bath tub with us for a dunk.  For Christmas I wanted to get my brother some shoes but instead I got him 3 magnetic toy boats for the bath. And boy, does he love the boats!                                                                                                                     ...

Today I have basketball. I like playing basketball. -Sometimes. Riding horses just might be my favorite sport. Though of course basketball is a close 2nd.  Me and my dad went to the store last night and got bagels from the store for breakfast this morning. As I was saying, basketball isn't always my favorite when: a team mate gets hurt, when you get hurt, when the team is really hard and scores all the points, when you spend almost all of your money at the Snack-Shack during the basketball season. -And of course, five letters: FOULS. Fouls stink.    My coaches name is uh.......I don't know how to spell it!  Here are all my team mate's names: Erin, Scarlett, Oliva, Payton, Corrina, Emma, Allie, and of course me, Charlotte.                                             by for now Charlotte                   ...

One night in May we went over to my grandma's house and went swimming.  It was a lot of fun.  Some of his friends came over too.  Between doing dives, eating cake, and opening presents we had a really fun night.  My brother got lots of presents -  from remote control bumper cars -   to LEGO Star Wars movies.  The theme of the party was Treasure Map (pirate).  We also had a buried treasure little spot, were you dig in sand - and the best part?  you got to keep the buried treasure! 

 A new family moved in next door.  They have: a mother and a father, a son,  two daughters, a dog, and two cats.   Soon I was thinking I could run over to there and see  what the family is like.  Since they just moved in, I thought we could bring a snack/meal over.  I thought it would also be nice if I made them something homemade. 

 Willow Willow is a 2 year old baby girl.  Willow has a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy.   It is terminal and there is no cure.   I met Willow's dad when we were taking gifts to the PICU for Henry's  birthday.   She was in the hospital then for pneumonia, but she is home now.   She needs all our prayers and all our help to save her life.  We are raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.  We need your help. Your prayers.  Be a part of helping Willow and lots of other children find a cure.   You can use PayPal/Venmo or just drop your money by our house.   I sell bookmarks and love making them.  I make bookmarks for grown-ups and kids.  Once one of our friend 's little boy took a little girl bookmark home with him!  Sometimes teachers tell me how many girl bookmarks and how many boy bookmarks they need, and then at the end of the school year they give a bookmark ou...

Do you love horses? Do you love acting, make-up, and being under the spotlight? That's me.  Do you love playing spy and solving mysteries?  That's me.  Love reading and have tons of notebooks? Love painting nails, having sleep-overs, spending time with friends? Hate most schoolwork? That's me. Love texting, taking pics, making stuff, and riding your bike? That's me. Want a skateboard for your birthday? Love rollerblading & rollerskating? Love animals and all sorts of bugs. Hate spiders and mosquitoes? That's me again, roger. Love basketball & horseback riding? That's what I love.  I'm writing this so you can know more about me and if you're a girl, maybe we are a lot alike or maybe we are nothing alike. But no matter what we can still be friends.                                     ...

I love reading. In matter of fact I just read a little bit today.  I read mostly about mysteries, like the series The Box Car Children , just take a look at our bookshelf!  Sometimes when I go to the library, I'll get little readers about Barbie or Disney faries, Tinkerbell and all her friends.  Other times (or the same time) when I go to the library I'll get books about fish or dogs or cats.  Oh, how I want a baby puppy or a kitten. Or even a turtle or fish. But a wild horse would be good too. ;)     I read the book The Doll People and am hoping to read the others in the series.  I've also read Pilgrim's Progress , Tuck Everlasting , American Girl mysteries, Main Street , Riding Freedom , The Hundred Dresses , School's Out , & Sweet Valley Twins .  These are some of my favorites so far.  Have you read any of these?  If so, please leave a comment.    I f anyone has some more ideas of what to write about than just leave ...

Our friend's baby is the cutest.  Mr. Jacob Bennet and his wife, Mrs. Laura Bennet are proud parents of Saylor Lauren Bennet.  She is a cute and loveable baby. She is truly sent from heaven!

Their oldest's name is Graham who is 4, Linden,1, and the baby of course, 0!

I'm the one writing about her! Paige Elizabeth is cute. Cute & healthy! Could it be much better than that? No, it couldn't.  She is a cute and snuggley baby(although I haven't met her she looks that way. - and I'm sure her mom would agree!). Her older sister, Abigail Grace is only two. We use to think they were never going to have a baby but then one day they did, and she grew, and she grew, and she grew, she grew until she was two years-old. Then one day they went to the doctor, could you imagine their suprise? They were pregnant! Then they waited and waited and waited, their family waited too. Then, one day they said ''No, we want it to be a surprise." Then they waited and waited and waited. Their family waited too. Then, when that surprise baby came out, covered with w...
