The Green Beauty

Why, Hello there!

Random Fact:

Did you know Eggs contain the highest food protein known. All parts of an egg are edible, including the shell which has a high calcium content. (Via Randomhistory.com)

Who Knew?

Not me! I would've never thought to eat the shell..hmm.

If anyone tries it, let me know what you think!

Well, It's July 3rd 2010. I can honestly say that this is one of the FASTEST years of my life. Last time I checked it was March and I was only dreaming about the summer months to come.

Well, they're here!

I thoroughly enjoy wearing shorts and sandals everyday and having the warm sun there to greet me each morning! I get to wear my cute $5.00 sunglasses and drive around with the windows down, unless your windows don't roll down; like mine.

[I look forward to having that luxury when my new vehicle arrives! (Believing it'll come in the Name of Jesus!).]

Speaking of Vehicles, let me tell you about mine. It's a FORREST green '98 Buick Century. A.K.A. "The Old-Lady Car"

However, I have named her "THE GREEN BEAUTY" ("The Beauty"-for short),

in hopes that others will someday see her potential.

I Purchased her myself when I was 17.

Therefore, I've had The Green Beauty for about 3 years or so.

She is the FIRST and ONLY car I've ever owned.

Needless to say, I have a connection with The Beauty. Even though she may have a few dents and we had to glue the windows shut, and the air can only be put on the setting "LOW", and she has a cassette player that chooses when it wants to work...

Regardless of it all..She's special to me!

She's been such a faithful car!

The only trouble I've ever had with her consists of a few flat tires and changing the brake pads.

So, I will be a little sad when I have to part with her...But, I'm ready for my NEW Vehicle to come!

New.

I like that word.

It's Fresh.

It's Clean.

It's Happy.

It's Fun and Exciting.

It's all the things that Jesus is!

:)

I came across this really cool website that I had to tell someone about.

And I figured, why not let that "Someone" be YOU!

I follow a blog called Homespun Forte it's really inspiring.

She has some really cute and crafty How-to's and Ideas!

Right now she and a friend are doing a wedding series called "Suddenly Inspired" and it's got some really great and helpful ideas!

She featured another website on her blog today called Polyvore.com

It's super cool! You can create a collage using items from other web pages.

Here's an example:

[In honor of the 4th of July!!]

But, I just went to Anthropologie.com and found all of these really cute items!

You can go onto any of your favorite websites and use the "Import" tool.

Polyvore then saves your item, the website you copied it from, and the price.

When you save and publish it, it'll put it onto your profile and others can see it

(Or you can make it private).

You can also look at other collage's that other Polyvore users created!

I've been having so much fun! :)

I think it's a really good idea for any event you may be planning!!

So, you should check it out!

And let me know how it goes!

You can leave me a link in the comments and I'll check them out!
