Wallets by Brianna!

I got a little instruction booklet on how to make the cutest wallets a while ago, and so far I've made 5! They're really cute, and I think they're just the right size! They have six card slots, two bigger pockets, and a zipper pocket, too! I'm thinking about maybe selling them, so I thought I'd put some pictures of the ones that I've made!

This is the one that I made for myself!



I made this one for Sydney!



This was for my Aunt Barbie! We were going out to California for a family reunion with her, and I wanted to surprise her! She loved it!



This one was for my Aunt Shelly! She also lives in California, and her favorite color is purple!



This one was for my Aunt Heather! She loves skulls and pink, and she loves this!



I'm almost done with the one for my friend Ashley, then my Aunt Tara wants one... and so on! They're lots of fun to make, and it's given me something to do to keep busy!

Bucketlist!

So I'm doing this bucketlist with my two amazing friends, Ashley and Celeste. How it works is that we all are going to do these things and as we do them, we have to take pictures. Then we post the pictures along with our success on our blog! Since Celeste just moved to freakin' WASHINGTON, our blogs are one of the few ways to keep in touch! I'm way excited to get started! Here's the bucketlist:

1.Make a bracelet out of grass
2.Go swimming at 10:00 at night
3.Get bread and feed the birds
4.Pick your favorite celebrity and celebrate their birthday... cake and all!
5.Write a song
6.Sleep outside without a tent
7.Keep a goldfish for more than a week
8.Walk in a parade
9.Fill your driveway with chalk pictures
10.Plant a garden
11.Climb a tree
12.Write a book
13.Make up a new recipe
14.Milk a cow
15.Leave your hand or footprint in wet cement

I've already done some of them, but I'm going to do them again! This will be fun!

Yearbook Camp!

Holy Camoly yearbook camp was so much fun! Since I'm a main editor next year, I got to go to yearbook camp with two other girls and the yearbook advisor. It's where we go to have tons and tons of fun, and we also do lots of work to plan the yearbook for next year! It's up at Snowbird which is a way nice place! I had never been there before so it was super exciting! While we were there, we went on a tram! I must admit, at first I was really nervous, and pretty scared! But it was tons of fun, and I'm really glad that I did it! They also had a night where we went swimming, and there was an adwards ceremony at the end! The two other girls, Kenadee and Alexa, and I had our own hotel room. We stayed at the Cliff Lodge, and in the shower there was a huge window into the bedroom! There was a curtain, but we still thought it was hilarious! There's a picture of it below. Anyway, we had an amazing time overall, and the food was even good! We got a lot done for the book next year and I can't wait for school to start so we can get started! Here are some pictures...

Schools Out!

It's been a while since I've posted, but first off, I can't believe schools out! 8th grade flew by, and next year I'll be a FRESHMAN! Can you believe it? I'm super excited! I'm going to miss all my friends a ton next year! With lots of kids going out to Westlake, I'm losing lots of people that I know! Anyway, the summer's almost already over, and so much has happened! I just wanted to put a few pictures on from the last days of school!
Friends from pe!

Track meet pics

Track has gone by so fast! It's almost over! Since I got my new camera, I was able to take it with me to our last track meet! Here are a few pictures of us having a great time while we weren't racing...

It was pretty sunny out, so by the end of the meet we were all really sunburned. Alpine Days are tomorrow and Thursday. It's like a track tournament with all the schools in alpine district. It's pretty huge, so wish us luck!

Sleepover at Ashley's!

We had a sleepover at Ashley's house on Wednesday night. We played a fun game that tested how well we know each other, and we ate a ton of chocolate! Ashley has a movie called "The 10th Kingdom" that we watched. It's close to 7 hours long with 3 discs! We started it at about 9:00 and by the time it ended it was around 4:00 in the morning. Celeste was the only one who stayed awake through the whole thing because she's just crazy, but I borrowed it and watched what I didn't see at my house. It is a wierd movie!
It has everything from trolls, dwarfs, and a half wolf man, Cinderella and Snow White, and an evil witch with magic mirrors, to Kissing town and all the popular fairytales like Jack and the Beanstock. But overall, I liked it! In the morning Ashley and her mom and a few of her sisters made breakfast for us. We had blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and orange juice. It was lots of fun and hopefully we can do something like it again before Celeste moves to Washington! :(

Celeste and me wrapped up in our blankets! I'm going to miss her so much!

So cute! Don't you love my Christmas blanket?!

New Craft!

I pulled out an old spool knitting kit that my grandma gave me a long time ago, and I started playing around. There were instructions to make a butterfly, but I wanted to make a flower. This was the first one that I made.

But it was a little big. And it still kind of looked like a butterfly to me. So I started again, this time making it smaller and adding a little extra so there would be 5 petals. Then I just made a really long black piece, and attached the flower to make one very cute headband!

I made Sydney a yellow and pink one for her birthday. I also made a purple flower, and then just put a bobby-pin on it. They're super easy, and I love them!

Sunflower Cupcakes!

We made these super cute cupcakes at young womens! They're totally easy, and if you're looking for something to do, you should try them! All you need is some Oreos, yellow and green frosting, and a cupcake! You can make them however you want!

Basketball team pictures!

Basketball season is over, and I'm so sad!!! All those girls are my best friends, and I'm going to miss playing with them! A few of us will be at the school again next year, but all of our 9th graders are of course going to high school, plus, a lot of the 8th graders are going out to Westlake! But it was a great experience, and I had the time of my life! My coaches were amazing, and even when they were mad, they were still hilarious and really nice! Here are some fun pictures that we took together....Here are our post players... (the mean ones!) We've had so many stories come from these guys! Annika (#10) bit Megan (#32) during one of our games on accident. Megan was given a black eye once, and poor Micala (#21) pulled a bunch of things in her knee and was out for most of the games at the end of the season. She goes in for surgery on the 18th, then still can't play or dance (she's in dance company) for 6 months! These are our guards. 2 main point guards, and some of our post players play guard too. Here are our AMAZING managers! Brittini and Karen! They are so cute, and we really, really, appreciate them! We have such a wierd mascot. :)Getting pumped up before a game.

This is Ms. Flake, our assistant coach, with Sam and I. Ms. Flake is the best!We had a great season, taking 2nd place in our Payson tournament, and 7th in our last tournament! It was tons of fun! GO WOLVERINES!
