2014.. sounds so weird..



                                                                         2014
Dosen`t that sound weird? 2013 was a very "eventful" year for sure in our family. In good ways, and in bad.

                                                                 Happy New Year!

             I don`t know if i will be able to to stay wake til` 12:00am though. Maybe !

                                             Shalom JoyAnna Meece 

                         Was born Christmas Eve at 1:13am! After a almost 24 hour labor! :0
                        She is such a joy! We all argue about who gets to hold her next! lol

       

                             Shalom: Shalom is more then just simply peace; it is a complete peace. It is a feeling of contentment, completeness, wholeness, well being and harmony.

Joy :  (same as the name) Anna: means, "God has Favored Me"

elegant blogger award.

http://keepcalmandsparkle1099.blogspot.com/2013/08/elegant-blogger-award.html


The rules for this particular award, the ‘Elegant Blogger Award’, are featured below…

When you receive the award, you must link back to ‘All Things Good’ blog and the blog that nominated you.
Display the award button in your post.
Answer all of the twelve standard questions listed by the blogger who created the award.
Nominate twelve other bloggers you think should receive the ‘Elegant Blogger Award’.
Notify them that they have been awarded.

The Questions…

What made you decide to start blogging?

Back in 2011, I believe, My older sister, Amber, started her blog,
and so I was jealous, honestly, so I started one! I thought it was weird
for a 10 (at the time) year old girl to start a blog, but once I did start it, I found LOTS
of girls my age, from all around the world!  

What is your fashion style?

I love feminine, girly clothes. Our family wears skirts most the time.
I love lace, floral prints, and very flowy skirts.
Where is your favorite place to shop?

Umm.. Hmm.. Goodwill, other thrift stores, and the mall.

What would your ideal amount of blog followers be?

My goal is to have 100 followers, and then I will be content. lol
I dream to have thousands someday.

What are your talents?

God has given me and everyone lots of talents, and I wish I was gifted in things
that I am not gifted in.
I believe I am gifted in: singing, sewing, crafting, photography, and writing.
And other things, I might not have yet discovered.
Are you a leader or a follower?

I am a leader for sure. I am the oldest of my siblings at home right now.
My older sister, Amber, who was the oldest, left home last year.
So now, I am the oldest, at home anyways, so I guess it comes from that :)

What is one of your favorite quotes?

Hmm..
"Love binds everything together in perfect harmony"
Colossians 5:14

Do you have a favorite book or book series?

I adore reading! It is my all time favorite past time!
I love "October Baby" (the book) , and my favorite series.. There is so many..

 Out of all of the synonyms for elegant, which would you describe yourself with (smart - stylish - dressy - graceful - dainty - fine)?

I guess.. Well.. I am defiantly not dainty or fine, or graceful. 
I am told I am smart, and people comment on my outfits a lot, so would that be classified as stylish? 
What is your favorite flower?

I love all flowers, but roses of all kinds, and peonies!

What is something none of your followers know about you?

Umm.... I am sitting here watching the news channel? lol

The bloggers I have chosen to nominate for this award are listed below…
Anna - Hero
Haleigh -Simply Shabby

christmas is coming..









                                 It`s officially exactly a week away. I love Christmas. In fact, it is my favorite
                     time of year. The pure falling snow, covering the world in a blanket of white.The smell
                     of the spicy Christmas cookies. Curling up with a blanket (plaid, or course) and enjoying
                     Hallmark Christmas movies. The tree glowing, and ornaments galore. The many
                     presents under the tree, and trying to figure out what they are. The cold nights, and
                    snuggling up under your blankets and falling asleep to the thought of that Christmas is
                    near. Waking up on Christmas morning, and running in my case, up the stairs, having hot
                  cocoa and cinnamon rolls (a family tradition), and ripping the paper off the presents, and
                 seeing if you predictions were correct. Oh, the joy of Christmas, I will never forget.
                  But most of all. The reason of the joyous, season. Our Savior. Our King coming to this
                earth. Not in a fancy hotel, with fine linen sheets, and  marble floors. A stable. A stable
             with stinky animals, and waste. A manger, as His bed. This is how he came. For us. To grow
              to die for us, so we can be with Him, some glorious day! Oh, Christmas. My favorite time
          of year. Enjoy it. But don`t forget the real reason for the season.
