The Beauties of Winter

This picture was on the yahoo news page, and it's so gorgeous I just had to put it on here! Visiting Paris is on my list of "things I wish I could do!", it's so beautiful there, especially in winter, sorry for going on and on about it, but this picture's breathtaking! Ok, I'm getting weird now...

Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving... time to stuff up on good food right? Well sadly, as with most holidays now we forget the reason for the season. Thanksgiving is usually just the little break between wants, halloween "I want candy!" and then Christmas "I want presents!" and most of us forget how important it is to thank God for all that he has blessed us with! Of course we all know the Thanksgiving story and why we remember it, but do you really take the time to thank God? I challenge all of you to make a list of 100 things that you are thankful for, right now, you may be reading this post a while after Thanksgiving but it's never to late to be thankful.

What makes me smile...

Now this makes me smile...

... my lunch

To me this was a very good lunch, because chinese is my favorite food! And I also love iced mocha lattes, isn't the can so cute?? I know you may think me weird for saying a can is cute, but I have to say they did a very good job desiging that can, it makes it very appealing!

Epic Edits

Hello all. I only have one epic edit for today :( and that is...

... Lilacs! Ahem, "pretty" lilacs

I edited this photo using picnik its a really nice [and free] editing site if you are looking to edit. I took this picture in our neighbors yard, it had just rained and i looked outside and saw these beautiful [originally purple] lilacs covered with raindrops. It was very pretty so i grabbed my camera and ran outside, hoping to catch the beautiful site! Originally this picture wasn't so nice, but after editing it i think it turned out pretty well, an epic edit!

If you would like to join in the fun, please do so! All you have to do is make a post with one or more photos you have edited, and label it "Epic Edits". Then leave a post with a link to your blog, you don't have to but if you do I [and anyone who visits my blog] will be able to see it!

Audition {tips}

As some of you know i recently auditioned for a theater company, [and got a callback] but then i got a email saying i didn't get in :( i just wanted to give you some tips though if you ever audition for anything, i am not an expert but here's some hints:

[and there is no order of importance]

1. Be excited! everyone has nerves, but you only have them because this is so special and you are excited so turn those nerves into excitement and keep thinking how fun this will be to do something you love. 

2. Remember [if its not a private audition] all the other kids in the room are probably nervous to, so encourage one another!

3. Love your monologue! you will be practicing allot and you really want to get into it, try to pick one where the character is your same gender, and around the same age.

4. SMILE! stand tall and smile! appearance is important to!

5. be loud even if your the only one, be very loud [but not shouting/mean] they want to see what you've got, and they can always tell you to lower it. 


6. When you are reciting your monologue or song, pick one spot in the room [maybe a little bit above the director] and focus on it. Don't look the director in the eyes, it will make you more nervous. 



I hope these tips will be helpful to those of you who are auditioning for a play or are in one!! I would also love to hear about your acting experiences, if you have any please tell me about them in a comment. Thanks for visiting my blog, come back soon!

Epic Edits

Hello! here are a few "Epic Edits", pictures i edited. They are not exactly epic, but i think that sounded like a interesting post Title! 



ME, summer 2009. I was having a photoshoot with my cousin for our CD cover, although we never recorded our CD...



One of our flowers, it was originaly yellow.



I took this picture of myself while i was waiting for my cousins to arrive for the 4th of July!



Blue dress pictures

Hey! Take a look at these pictures i took of Grace, on my page Grace's Photoshoot, I love them!! and I think the room we were in, and the props, make it look so old fashioned. Grace is so good at modeling for my pictures, thanks grace for letting me take these!! and a sidenote: don't you think that she looks like Taylor Swift in the pictures with the guitar??
