What a Wonderful Present

Today I am twelve. A cold, wistful, December birthday, I know but this one was extra special. I got the most wonderful present a girl like me could wish for. Snow. It snowed on my birthday. If you were ever to know me personally, you would know I am madly in love with snow. To me, just a week without snow in the winter time is like a year without rain. So today, when I woke up to a glistening view outside my window, that put a grin on my face. Especially since there had been no snow in, lets think back...A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So in the spirit of snow I decided to attach myself to my camera and take a few SOOC shots of my Christmas decor and some wonderful gifts my friends gave me.

 At my house we have a little Christmas Village where we have all of these little figurines and shops so I decided that they would make wonderful photos! Above is some little carolers!

  Some little boys and their sled!

 I love this one!

 There's the ice man and his horse! I tried focusing on the words, what do you think?

 This one is my all-time favorite!! Oh, I just love making snowmen!

 I got a shot of a snowy little tree we had put up in our village.

 I love the little dog!

 We have this super cute little ice skating rink in our Christmas Village where the little ice skater spins around the "ice". I took this pic so it looks like the two are waving at each other!

Mr. and Mrs. Claus!

 And there's the little paper boy!

 And on to the presents! 

 I got some fun Santa socks!

 These were my favorite of the many pairs of new earrings. (my friends surprised me by all giving me earrings and letting me know that I was going to get my ears pierced! Eeep!)

I got this fun new book from one of my good friends. I will be using this a lot!!

 I got a wonderful little "K" where I could hang necklaces and my new earrings.

And finally I got a really cute new wallet from another one of my good friends. Love the Koala!!

And those are just a few of the many Christmas decorations and presents I got this wonderful snowy day!

Pinterest and Me

You could call it and addiction...or maybe just I'm always on pinterest! In the past few months since I got my pinterest I have grown addictive. True, I don't have too many photos, but trust me, I am on almost 24/7!! Since there is a gathering going on over at November Sunshine about pinteresting I thought I might as well enter! All you have to do is post things from pinterest that describe you!

A Few Fun Google Tricks!

You may have heard about these, but I am going to tell you about them anyway! There are some fun google tricks that have been going around and I am here to share 4 of them with you!

The first one is called the tilt. All you have to do is google: tilt. Then just wait! You'll see that the screen starts to tilt!

The second one is a lot alike, but much better! You just have to google: do a barrel roll. Then, if you wait, you'll see that the screen actually does a barrel roll!

 The third trick is my personal favorite, it's call Google Gravity. It's pretty simple. First, google: Google Gravity. Then click on I'm feeling lucky. Then wait and be amazed! It's google with a gravity problem!

 Last, but not least is the Pac-man. You may already know this but it's still pretty fun! Go up to the search bar and type www.google.com/pacman/ and you'll be able to play some pac-man! To start your game of pac-man click on the Insert Coin next to the Google Seach. To play multiplayer click on the Insert Coin twice. The controls are the arrow keys and the keys A,S,D,W.

Have fun checking out Google!
