Let’s Play a Little Game Answers + News

August 22, 2016August 22, 2016 | Allison

Ahem. This post is scheduled because I am getting my wisdom teeth out on Monday morning! *Sniff* It’s kind of exciting, but… yeah. 😦 I would appreciate prayer for a quick recovery. ♥

Also, I have exciting news that is way happier and not as painful. XD My blog and I are going to be featured on Discover today! (This post was featured before, but this time they’re featuring my whole blog.) I’M SO EXCITED OH MY GOODNESS YAY! Check it out here on the Discover page. It’s not up yet, but it should be sometime today. 🙂

Okay. Now that the news part is done, we can move on to the game answers.

I simply matched up the vegetables with the correct number of flower. (Heh heh, that’s more confusing than simple I guess – just look at the pictures instead. XD )

And the extra flower is…

A nasturtium which incidentally can be eaten too. XD

I think garden flowers are neat because some (like the okra flower) look like real flowers, and others (like the lettuce flower and asparagus berries) I was surprised to see at all! You don’t really think of lettuce having a flower (at least I don’t).

And the winner is…

CutePolarBear! You officially get the Green Thumb Award. XD

This was a pretty hard game, but you did a great job guessing, CutePolarBear! 😀

Thus ends your before-school nature lesson. XD

P. S. One last piece of news. We got our entries and ribbons back from the fair! My sister and I were pretty successful this year. 😀 I always love entering things in the fair!

BIBPC + Updates

August 11, 2016August 26, 2016 | Allison

Hey, guys! This post shall have various and random things in it. 😛

BIBPC

I’m participating in Megan’s photo contest, BIBPC, so here are my entries for the first and second category. (Since I’m her sister I got away with showing her the first one without posting it – so it’s late but it doesn’t matter. 😉 )

#1: Fuzzy

Story behind the photo: We went to look at a friend’s Saint Bernard puppies (there were 11!) and I took a gazillion photos of cuteness itself. This picture is a sneak peek of a future post. After playing with the puppies for a while, they were thoroughly exhausted and flopped down to sleep. HE IS ADORABLE, OKAY!

#2. Dew drops

Story behind the photo: I got this picture when we were on vacation. It was just after a rain, the lighting was perfect, and the picture turned out really well! The daisy looks happy, don’t you think?

Art Lab

Art Lab is back, new and improved! We added some new artists to our team, which is now composed of Hayley, me, Megan, Clara, and Anika! We will take turns posting on our personal blogs, and then copy our post to the Art Lab blog (which we’re redesigning). We’re also going to have a gallery page where you can send in pictures of your art inspired by Art Lab!

Swap Shop

Speaking of art, Hayley is doing a really neat art contest – with prizes! Check out her post for details. And if you like my entries, I’d love if you’d vote for them! 😀

Blog Photos

I know that some of the photos on my blog haven’t been showing up. You know why? I uploaded them from Google Drive, per Clara’s amazing free space tutorial, but unfortunately Google changed Google Drive recently which means that the photos won’t work! BAD GOOGLE! Thankfully I can still have free space by creating another random blog and copying and pasting my pictures from there. Phew!

See ya’ later!

P. S. Hayley and I are renovating Art Lab! We’re adding a few more artists to the group and starting it up again. We’re also going to collect and repost all of the Art Lab posts onto the official Art Lab blog, so you can scroll through the posts with ease. 🙂 You can follow it if you like! Hopefully there will be an Art Lab post up tomorrow. 😀
