my pictures for fair.

I do have one more picture, but the mother of the little girl who is in the picture has kindly asked me not to post it on the internet.

What do you guys think? Fair starts on the 6th! Wish me luck!

I will also be showing rabbits, competing in iron chef with my best friend, and... I think that's it...

Last year I had six competitions, nine exhibit entries, and thirteen rabbits.

Little much. Kinda got overwhelmed.

This year is going to be way less stressful. Fair is so fun! Don't forget to drop down by the small animal barn to see me!!! :)

Yes.... another one. I didn't post the winners of the last one because ONE PERSON ENTERED!!!

But thank you, Rachel, for entering... here is her picture for the "Happy" photo challenge:

Isn't she pretty??? :)

Anyway, this time... I would be soooo haaaaapy if I got three entries. Only three. So, if my friends (that would be you) could maybe spread the word (and enter)... that would be amazing.

This photo challenge theme is kids! Show you best kid pictures. Kids are so cute:) Editing is totally allowed.

GUESS WHAT?! Speaking of photography, all of my fair pictures are ready to go! They have their paperwork, matting, and everything! I'll post them soon!

picture perfect photo challenge.

Happy June!!!

It was those words that gave me the theme for my third photo challenge.

The theme is: Happy.

Think anything happy! It could be a child laughing, or a heart, or coffee (yes, coffee makes me happy). Express your June Happiness!

i got out my camera today.

Yes... I did! I went to the park with my 4-H group and took some pics!!!

I used Picasa 3.9 to edit these. I decided to put the edited and non-edited pictures together so that you can see the difference.

i went to the aquarium.

photo edit challenge.

Sierra @ His Handmaiden is having a photo challenge! The theme is editing. So, here is a picture of Howard (I used Picasa 3)

a deck of cards.

I love card games. Hearts, solitaire, spider solitaire, rummy, even Dutch Blitz. I LOVE IT ALL!!!

So, what card games do you guys like to play?

tag and music.

Heeeeeeeeey!

So, today after school (BTW, I aced all my tests!) I went to my first guitar lesson. It was super awesome! This guy with the two cutest kids (babysitting!) is teaching me. He's pretty cool:)

So, I am super happy because 1) I am starting to play guitar and 2) I started piano again! I took about a year long break, and I just started back up and am loving it.

That's my guitar teacher's daughter's hand above ;)

This was my guitar before my awesome teacher fixed it.... somehow Jarrett found out where is was.... and you know how little brothers are...
