I've Been Awarded The...

Stylish blogger award!

I was very excited when I got tagged because this is my first tag. :)

Now I have to tell you 7 random facts about me:

1. I used to be homeschooled, but now I go to the public high school.

2. I am a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada.

3. I have been knitting since I was about 10.

4. My favorite Christmas movie is "It's a Wonderful Life" {which I am really excited to watch since it is now past Thanksgiving and officially the Christmas season}.

5. I randomly sing pretty much all the time and I have a song for almost any occasion.

6. I love funky socks {hey, if I have to wear socks and shoes instead of sandals, they might as well be cool socks}.

7. Sometimes I wear socks with flip-flops and one time I wore Christmas toe socks with flip-flops in the middle of July. Oh, yes. :)

Here are the five lovely bloggers that I am tagging:

1. Lizzie - you can check out her three blogs here, here, and here.

2. Gabby who is currently renaming her blog and the new name has not yet been revealed. Her blog used to be called An Ambitious Homemaker.

3. Johanna @ Creativity Starts Here

4. Rachel Hope @ Hope's Treasures

5. Tirzah @ Tirzah's Delights

6. Jennoelle @ Unoriginal Originality

7. Eowyn @ Think Inside the Box

p.s. there is a lovely giveaway going on here at An Old-Fashioned Girl.

A Little bit of Fall-ness

Today, to continue with the Scripture Memorization Challenge, I memorized:

1 Corinthians 9:24

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

There is a modest fashion event and giveaway going on here at Creativity Starts Here. I am linking up this outfit:

Shirt: Hand-me-down

Skirt: Made my my sister and I

Purple tank top: Christmas Tree Shops

Earrings: Made by me

Day One includes a giveaway, so I think you all should link up if you can. :)

I am entering the following photo in Kelsey's photo challenge. The theme is Fall. {oh, and there will be a prize for the winner. :)}

I am also entering it in Lily's photo challenge where the theme is Fall.

Happy November 2nd!

Sorry again!

Like I said in my last post, I am sorry for my lack of posts over the past few days. I am also sorry that this is a rather hodge-podge post (I seem to have quite a few of those!). I am working on a real post. :)

On Sunday after church some of my siblings and I went on a spontaneous hiking trip with a couple other families from my church.

This tower was on top of the mountain.

This was the gorgeous view from the top of the tower.

This is the view looking down from the tower. :)

Yesterday I spent almost all afternoon cooking. My homework for one of my classes at school was to cook dinner for your family.

Now, on to the 31-Day Challenge.

Day 23 - A Photo of a Person playing a board game

Day 24 - A Photo Playing with Shadows

Day 25 - A Photo You Took a Year Ago

This photo was taken with my little old Kodak Easyshare Point and Shoot. I loved that camera...until the zoom broke. Then one of my best friends dropped it in the stream we were taking photos by. So, I got a new camera. :) It's not an DSLR, but it's better than my old one. :)

Go on over and check out Lily's Days 23 and 24. While you're there, enter her lovely giveaway! Here are some of my favorite prizes:
