Lindsey Stirling

Hello everyone!

Today I'd like to tell you about my favorite music artist/ composer: Lindsey Stirling!

I think her songs are great because they are never inappropriate, and they have a distinct sound. She has released two albums so far; Lindsey Stirling (2012,) and Shatter Me (2014.) her songs are

"Celtic folk music and modern classical meet the infectious energy of dance and electronica" (Lindseystirling.com.)

Also, be sure to check her out at lindseystirling.com.

Please look forward to my next post!

The nightmare before Christmas

Carrot dip

Hello everyone!

today, I have a story to tell you...

Once upon a time, in a little house in Florida, my mom announced: "And now we come to the age old question of what to bring to church tonight." *laughs.* so, my dad said maybe we should do something different, and since I was creative, I could make it and post it to my fave website. I agreed. and so, he did some sort of researching on his 1st gen iPad (sooo old fashioned,) and he found this.

Conclusion: I made it, and it turned out really great, and was highly appreciated at church!

it turned out great!

Again, here is the link:LINK!

Please look forward to my next post!
