Christmas Fun - Speech Bubble #21

Merry Christmas! 

I just wanted to take a quick second to tell everyone before this post that Christmas isn't about getting gifts. I think that Christmas is about spending time with family and having fun. That probably sounds pretty cliche, but I really think it's true.

Okay. Now to the post. 

Thank you SO SO SO much to everyone who did give me, my brother and the rest of my family gifts. I really appreciate you thinking of me this holiday season. 

On Christmas, I get up pretty early, 7:30-8:00, which is early for me on weekends, or days without school, and I immediately wake my family up. Unless it's 7:30 or earlier. 
We opened presents and ate french toast, but the really AMAZING meal was the Christmas dinner. We ate pork, with AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING MAGNIFICENT INCREDIBLE MUSHROOM GRAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Daddy for that wonderful treat!

This is a pretty short post because I'm off to go to sleep, but Merry Christmas, and may the holiday cheer waft upon you every single time you speak the word Christmas. :)
That was corny. Wow. 

Okay, bye! 

20th Post!!!!- Speech Bubble #20

I am honestly excited. It's my 20th blog post! 
But I have to apologize, yet again, for not posting regularly. I know that I don't post a lot, but I have been busy with school work, etc. It's almost winter break! December 21st!!!!!! 

Now, this is a serious question. 
Do any of you think that the world is going to end? 
I don't, but some of you may... 

I have a lot of things to say in this blog post. 

Toca Boca Hair Salon 2 
There is this addicting app that I got today called Toca Boca Hair Salon 2. There is a Toca Boca Hair Salon, and I had that one before, but 2 is so much better! There is a curling iron, a straightener and something else that I can't identify! :) 

This is just one thing that you can do with this awesome app! I love it! It is $.99, but it was worth it! 

My Favorite Singer's Birthday
It was my favorite singer's birthday three days ago. December 13th is Miss Taylor Swift's 23rd birthday, and the release date of her new music video for the song "I Knew You Were Trouble." I think it's awesome! 

I love this picture of the lovely, one and only, Taylor Swift! 

Christmas is Coming! 
Santa, dust off your riding boots, unless you wear them all year around, and feet your reindeer, because Christmas is just around the bend! I hope you are watching on your Santa-Cam which children were naughty and which were nice! 
Well, Merry Christmas, or as I like to say, Happy Christmas! I am kind of obsessed with England and love everything from England! I don't know why. I just am. :) 
My favorite Christmas song is "All I Want For Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. 

I just like this picture. It's cute, and I found it on the picture website, http://www.weheartit.com. I use this app on my iPod for pictures, since it's also an app! 

I hope you enjoyed the 20th post! 
No seriously. Did you enjoy it? 
Feel free to email me your feedback at

I'll answer as soon as I can!

See ya later! 

Catching You Up! - Speech Bubble 19

Okay. Lets get down to business. It's been almost four months or something crazy like that since I've posted something and I'm sure you guys are wondering if I'll ever post anything else. Well, Congratulations! This is a post and this is my blog. I am posting a post right now. :) 
So I've been posting YouTube videos and doing craft stuff, and as you all know, yesterday was Black Friday! I went shopping at JoAnns and got some awesome craft stuff. I also made a bunch of Christmas charms! Today I made two duct tape wallets and a coin purse, all that look cool and are made with my three new duct tape colors; white, pink and yellow. There are some pics in this post of some of the different things I made. 
There is also a tutorial on YouTube that is being uploaded right after this. So keep checking the comments for the link! 

Clay: CAKE! LAYER CAKE! (they could be BFF charms because the cake slice fits into the rest of the cake, as shown in the next picture.)

 Clay: The cake slices fit into the rest of the cake!

Clay: I guess the YouTuber who made the tutorial on these called them Bubble Teas, but they're really cute so who cares? 

 Clay: stocking on a chain

 Clay: ADORABLE Gingerbread MAN!!!!!

 Clay: Frosty the Snowman! Or just a snowman (on a keychain)

Clay: A present for Christmas on a keychain

 Clay: A LOVE LETTER OOOOOOOOO

 Duct Tape: a magnetic coin purse with a bow

 Duct Tape: A pink and white bi-fold wallet with a bow and a velcro coin purse inside

 Duct Tape: a bi-fold wallet with a magnetic coin purse inside 

 Clay: two baguettes and two Italian rolls, two that are charms and two that aren't 

Clay: rainbow cake slices that fit together 














I hope you enjoyed these pics!
Seriously.
You better have enjoyed them.
:)

See you soon! 

Speech Bubble #18: Just Hanging

Hey. Hey. Hey! 
I don't have much to say. :( 
But I just posted a new video on Youtube showing my duct tape coin purses I just made. :) 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BVMxzUKMzE&feature=plcp
That is the link to the awesome video! 
Hopefully, I'll be posting a tutorial on how to make them, so keep watching my channel, and if you have an account, or know anyone who has an account, tell them to subscribe to me! 
I'm cool. Right? 
Anyway, I also got some new SONGS!


Too Close by Alex Clare 
Lights by Ellie Goulding (I think that's how you spell it) 
Forget You by Cee Lo Green (clean version)
Wake Up Call by Maroon 5
Bubbly by Colbie Caillat
Mistletoe by Colbie Caillat (It was weird; I didn't even buy the song, but it was purchased anyway. But I had a big gift card, so it was tolerable.) 

Have a great weekend! 
T.G.I.F! 
This post is officially over.   

Speech Bubble #17: YOUTUBE!

OMG OMG OMG!!
I am so excited to tell you this I'm not even going to say hello. (Well I might at the end, but...) 
I just got a Youtube account and posted my first two videos! 
I make videos on crafts and my username is...

craftzilla16

I really hope you check out my channel! Post a comment! Subscribe! 
Also, hopefully soon I will have a website maybe that will sell some of my crafts to raise money for charity. I'm not sure if I'm going to do that yet. I think the charity I want to donate to is Stand Up to Cancer, but I'm not sure about that, either. 

Anyway, I really hope that you watch my videos because I will definitely be posting more! 
I make videos on clay, duct tape, and anything crafty! 
I've already posted a Michaels Haul, if you don't know what that is, ask me by leaving a comment, and a first video with an overview of what I'll be posting. 
I will hopefully be posting tutorials soon, so keep watching!

Thanks!

Hello, and goodbye.

Speech Bubble #15: CREEPY MONKEY and correction on Ronan

Hey everyone! 

Let us get down to business. The correction on Ronan, is I'm not sure if he died in his mother's arms, but it said on the website to raise money for kids like him, which I think his mom made. 

Okay. 
Second thing.
Don't mean to ruin your perfectly fantastic day, but my mom sent me a creepy beyond disgusting picture of a monkey. A newly discovered monkey. 

Is this not weird and scary or what? Or is it just me? My mom thinks he's cute. He's NOT cute. He looks like an animation and it's like he's a morphed human! 
But it's like in the Hunger Games, book 1, when Katniss notices that the mutations at the end of the book have the dead tributes eyes. (sorry spoiler alert!) 
It's like he has someone else's eyes! 
I feel like tonight I'll wake up having nightmares about this weird creature. 
Do you want to see a really cute monkey to overshadow whatever this thing is? 

AWWW! Is he adorable or what? Now, Mommy, that's cute. It's a baby Cotton Top Tamarin. I will eventually have a whole post on monkey pics because monkeys are so cute! Maybe it will be tomorrow, since I fell behind in posting again, or maybe today! You never know...
Have a great weekend, and for me, a THREE DAY WEEKEND! 

Enjoy yourselves! 

Speech Bubble #14: Riddle Me This Answers/Ronan

Hi everyone! 

So I promised you the answers to the Riddle Me This post last Speech Bubble. But there was a mistake on one of the riddles! [GASP] 
On #10 is said "on a black night." That ruins the riddle completely because the answer was supposed to be that it was daytime. But anyway, here are the other answers! 

#1: He was looking at his son. (Although I've heard the answer to this riddle be his father and himself, so I'm not quite sure.)
#2: Air
#3: There are no stairs in a one story house.
#4: He doesn't pay "a penny" he pays $5,000.
#5: The man wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.
#6: Today, tomorrow and yesterday
#7: A stamp
#8: A towel
#9: A coffin

I hope you did good on these riddles, and I hope you had fun! 

You were also probably wondering what "Ronan" meant in the title of this Speech Bubble. Well, Taylor Swift wrote a song called Ronan that is now #1 on iTunes about a four-year-old boy who died in his mother's arms from cancer. 
It's a very, very, VERY, VERY, VERY, sad song and I had to try really, really hard not to cry. Taylor Swift also has a website called Rockstar Ronan which helps collect money to donate to fund cancer studies. 
You can buy the song on iTunes and if you don't want to buy it, I would HIGHLY recommend listening to it because it is touching and a GREAT song. 
I used caps a lot to express my feelings in the post, didn't I? 

Have a great week!

Speech Bubble #13: Riddle Me This

Riddle Me This

Hey everyone, for the second time today!

As I said in Speech Bubble #12, this is a DOUBLE-WHAMMY post because I haven't posted in about six million years. So here is a super fun activity post! This post is going to be filled with riddles, so get ready!

(All answers to the riddles will be posted on Sunday in Speech Bubble #14)

1. A man is looking at a picture. He says, "Brothers and sisters, I have none. This man's father is my father's son." Who is the picture of? 

2. I'm as big as an elephant and as light as a feather. What am I? 

3. A one-story house is all pink. The kitchen is pink, the walls are pink, the beds are pink. What color are the stairs? 

4. A man buys a car that costs $5,000. But he doesn't pay a penny for it. How is this possible?

5. A boy walks up to a man at a booth that says, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper than you have to pay me $50, but if I don't I have to pay you $50. Okay?" He boy saw no scale so he agreed. But when the boy left the booth, he had to pay the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

6. Can you name three consecutive days without using Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday? 

7. What goes around the world but stays in a corner?

8. What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

9. The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

10. A black dog is sleeping in the middle of a black road on a black night. A black car comes down the street straight at the dog but doesn't hit the dog. How is this possible? 

Have a great time! 

Hope you like riddles! 

See you on Sunday!

Speech Bubble #12: Long time no see

Hi guys! 
If anything can describe not seeing something or doing something for a really long time, my postings on this blog would describe exactly that. But I have something for you today: 
My duct tape wallets and my magazine pouches! 
I really enjoy making both of these, and like I said in a previous post, I would eventually post my duct tape wallets. I started school, so things got a little crazy and I couldn't post as much as I would've liked to post. But I'm back and hopefully I can keep posting as steadily as possible. So, want to see my stuff? 
I know you do! 
NOTE: The wallets you see in the picture below aren't all the wallets I've made. I've given some to friends! 

Magazine Pouch

All my duct tape wallets!

The insides of all my wallets... sorry the picture is turned sideways! :o

Inside of the magazine pouch. 

Half of my duct tape workstation. The other half is too big to fit in the picture! 

My amazing Mockingjay Hunger Games wallet!
This picture is the wrong way too, I'm sorry about that. :o (again)

The inside of my Mockingjay wallet. (OMG another picture that's the wrong way!) 

The inside of a hidden pocket in a wallet.  

All of my wallets, or at least the outside. 

A sample of what the outside of one of my wallets might look like, but mostly all of the ones I've make are in the picture above.  

The inside of one of the credit card pockets. 






So I hope you liked them! Hopefully I might get a Youtube account soon so I can post tutorials and videos on duct tape and other crafts! Enjoy your weekend! 
P.S.
This is a double-whammy post, so be sure to look for Speech Bubble #13 today!

Speech Bubble #11: I Love my Cats

I have not posted in forever. And for that I apologize. I didn't even post my special birthday post because I'd been so caught up in my birthday.
But this is an adorable post that is one of my personal favorites! 

I have cats. Two cats. Their names are Spike and Sophie. And I love them. A lot. 
So I decided to get some pics of them! And I got a boatload of pics. I hope you like cats, because these are some of the pictures of my cats and they are utterly adorable. 
Enjoy!

The pictures of Spike are on the left and the pictures of Sophie are on the right. Sophie is much more shy than Spike, and she rarely comes out. But Spike it friendly, and that's why I have more pictures of him. 
I hope you liked this post! 

Speech Bubble #10: Minecraft

Hi everyone!
What's up? How've you been doing? I'm good, thanks for asking! 
Something good about me? Well, I've been playing this awesome game called Minecraft that I know a lot of kids all ages love to play, too! You want to hear more? Okay! 

Minecraft is a game of building. So here is some information on the game!

MODES: There are different modes which allow you to do different things. There's Survival Mode, which means you have to get your own food by killing cows, pigs, etc, you can get hurt by falling to far, starving, and it's really fun to make a house for yourself as well! In Creative Mode, you can fly around, not die, not eat, and have unlimited materials! And in Hardcore, well, it's hardcore stuff. You can't respawn in Hardcore after you die like in Survival. 

SERVERS: You can play on servers, which means you are playing Minecraft with other people. Sometimes they are people you know and sometimes they are just random people who happen to be playing Minecraft at the same time as you are! 

SKINS: This is how you look on Minecraft. In the picture above, that skin is the skin that you have to start off with and that's Steve. :) I don't know why he's called Steve. Don't ask me. You can be really anything! Knowing people can be mostly anything, they are mostly anything!

This is a Sonic the Hedgehog skin. That just about proves you can be anything. 


SPAWNING: When you first go on Minecraft, you'll have to spawn somewhere. How you do this is really easy. Just click "Create New World," name your world where you are going to build, pick your mode and this is optional, but you can also choose a seed, (see SEEDS.) Then you click the "Create New World" button again and you're in! You will then wait about a minute and Minecraft will spawn you either in snow, the desert, the plains, the mountains or in the water. Wherever you spawn you will always have access to animals because there is not one Minecraft world with absolutely no animals. So basically you'll always have dinner. :) You can also spawn in villages, dungeons, etc.

SEEDS: If you have a seed, you click "More World Options" and you type the seed in. A seed is numbers, words or just about anything that will always spawn you in the same place when you type that seed in. For example, WoLf_MaN and gimmeavillage spawns you in villages. That is basically all you need to know about seeds.

There is so much more to Minecraft, but if I say it all this post will be really, really, really, really, really long, so I will save you the seven hours of reading and not put it all in. :)

Tomorrow is special: It's my birthday!
So I'm posting a little birthday celebration post tomorrow! 
So wish me happy birthday! 

Speech Bubble #9: The Amazing Spiderman

Hey everyone!

I am so sorry I haven't been posting. I have been super busy and I am going to try to make sure that I can get back to posting on a regular basis. About the duct tape wallets: I am not going to post pictures of them because there are so many. I'm very sorry about that, too. 

But this post is going to be awesome! It's about The Amazing Spiderman, the movie. 

Emma Stone in the Amazing Spiderman. 

The Amazing Spiderman poster. 
















I did not expect this movie to be good. I don't usually like these kind of movies. But it was good! The lizard was really cool. I definitely recommend this movie to people who liked the first two, but this Spiderman was a little better that the last Spiderman in my opinion. I also love Emma Stone, so naturally I loved her in this role. :)

Hope you enjoyed this. 
See you on Wednesday!

Speech Bubble #8: Stumble Upon

Hi again!

There is a great website that I love to go on called Stumble Upon. You first make an account. It is free! That's always good. :) Then, you choose interests. I'm interested in fashion and photography so I chose those two interests. You then click the "Stumble" button and it will take you to a random page about one of your interests. It's really cool! If you really like a page and you want to save it, you don't have to bookmark it. You can just click the "like" button and it will save it for you! 
http://www.stumbleupon.com/
This is the link to Stumble Upon. Try it out! 

That is Stumble Upon's logo. 
I hope you have the greatest time on Stumble Upon! 
I'll have Speech Bubble #9 ready on Monday! 

Speech Bubble #7: My Photography

Hey everyone!
Over the summer, I've taken lots of really nice pictures that I'd love for you to see! So I decided to post them right here on my blog as Speech Bubble #7. I hope you like them! 

This is a picture of the Willis Tower in Chicago. Although, from a different point of view. :)

Leo Carillo Beach in Malibu.

 Treetops in Leo Carillo campsite 


















I have no explanation for this picture. It's just looking out from behind a tree! 

Yummy, bright red strawberries at the Farmer's Market. 


















I'm sure in another Speech Bubble I'll post more pictures, and these aren't the only pictures I've taken this summer, but I just wanted to show you blog-readers some of them.
Please post comments if you want to and subscribe! 
Speech Bubble #8 is coming today! It's a double-post day! Be sure to check it out!
