Happy New Years!

Dear 2011,

You've been a wonderful year, the best year yet... I learned so much, lost so much, and gained so much. 

I laughed, and cried, I prayed and hoped.... 

Here is a quick re-cap:'

 In Febuary, I turned 13.... In May, I gave my life to Jesus....In June and July, I did school like crazy...In August, I started up this blog...In October, found out that this happened....In November, I learned a big personal lesson, and in December, well, I realized God has answered so much of my little prayers that weren't really that important, and yet He cared enough to answer them...

it's a New Year, and I'm a new person, all things from the past are in the past, I'm walking forward with high hopes, big dreams, and lots of prayers...

farewell, 2011

 it is a New Year, and that means (of course) change. But this is all good change...

to start with:

1. I'm getting a new design, and it will be up soon, not exactly sure when, but soon, and I promise you...it's pretty awesome. :)

2. I'm going to be doing project 64 this year. It is a challenge thats 64 weeks, but it isn't a big of a bite as the 365 photo challenge is. P-64, is a challenge that goes through a box of crayon and you take 1 photo a week of the certain color. If that doesn't explain it, you can read more about it at their website. Anyways, once a week I will be posting my photo on here. 

3. I will also be doing an idea I found on pinterest, what you do is take a jar/basket/container and throughout the year write down special things that happened on a piece of paper and then put them in your jar. Then on New Years Eve, you get to take them out and read them... :)

4. And last but definatly not least, I'm going to do something called 102 in 2012, which is a "bucket list/resolutions  for 2012". I'll tell you more tomorrow.

And I have chosen a word to represent my year....
hope

My 102 in 2012 list is coming tomorrow!

Happy New Years, dear hearts!!

i've got a full heart

for some random reason tonight, my heart is full...I am in a whimsical mood, and feel like reading my Anne books or maybe Narnia...I am sitting here smiling for "no" reason..well, I guess I am listening to Christmas music. :) And just because I feel like it, I'm going to share a {ton} of quotes I love. {Did I ever say that I am really obsessed with quotes? well if I didn't: I am!}

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me"

-C.S Lewis

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another:"What! You too? I thought I was the only one." 

-C.S Lewis

"I feel as though someone's handed me the moon...and I don't exactly know what to do with it."

-Anne Shirley

Gilbert Blythe: "What are you thinking?"

Anne: "I'm afraid to speak or move for fear that all this wonderful beauty will just vanish...like a broken silence."

"Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed."

-G.K Chesterton

"I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time-waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me."

-C.S Lewis

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."

-Oscar Wilde

"I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go."

-Abraham Lincoln

well, good night, dear hearts.
