Valentine’s Day is every year on the 14th of February. It is not only to be celebrated as a romantic couple, but you can also celebrate it with friends.

Hi,

I am very sorry that I did not post yesterday. I am willing to make it up with an extra post this week. This post will be published on Saturday.

Thanks for understanding!

I love writing stories so I thought I should share one with you!

A long time ago, there was a witch who wanted all the power in the world. She came upon a majestically purple orb that said that she would get all the the power she wanted.

Present day Dalassar, Princess Genevieve’s Birthday.

“Father,” Genevieve asks worriedly, “who exactly will be at the party for my birthday?”

“Oh, just a few people. No one you need to worry about,” King Terrance says proudly.

“Will mother be there?” She asks.

“Of course” her father explains.

4 hours later.

Screaming. Shouting. Running. Hiding. A woman’s evil laughter.

Hello,

I have made a decision that it is better for to post more in quality than in quantity. I am reducing the amount of posts to 3 a week. There will be a posts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. There will be a little exception this weekend, because I have a special announcement.

Thanks!

I look up to lots of people. Today, I am going to list the main people I look up to and why I look up to them.

1. My parents – I look up to my parents because they are super nice, smart, and they are my parents.
2. My teachers – I look up to my teachers because they teach me everything I know just like my parents. They are funny, nice, and smart.
3. Misty Copeland – I look up to Misty Copeland because ever since I read a book about her, I really got to know her through the writing because I have never met her in person But, if I did, that would be super cool.
4. Serena Williams – I look up to Serena Williams because I love tennis and she is an awesome player! Plus, we have the same last name.
5. Venus Williams – I look up to Venus Williams for the same reasons I do for Serena Williams. They are both awesome tennis players!

Funny Story: At school, my sister and I are referred to as the Williams sisters because we have the same last name as the tennis players that are also referred to as the Williams sisters.

As I mentioned before in my last blog post about Ancient Egypt, Ancient Egypt is one of my favorite historic topics to write and learn about. In this blog post, I am writing about the first female pharaoh, Hatshepsut.

Here are some facts about Hatshepsut.

1. As I already mentioned, she is the first female pharaoh.
2. She wore male pharaoh clothing and even the fake beard to get the same respect the male pharaohs were given.
3. She eventually achieved the respect the male pharaohs were given.
4. When her mummy was found, there was still a couple strands of hair on her head.
5. According to pictures of Hatshepsut’s mummy, she had reddish colored hair.

One of my favorite techniques in art is the “Watercolor Effect”. The “Watercolor Effect”, is a style of art on paper that looks like water colors but is only pens and water. You can do all starts of colors to make things like space, the ocean, etc. Here are the supplies and steps in making the “Watercolor Effect”.

Supplies:

1. Paper
2. Markers
3. Plastic Bag
4. Scissors
5. Spray Bottle Containing Water

Step One:

Use scissors to cut plastic bag in half.

Step Two:

Use markers to scribble in sections on the plastic bag.

Step Three:

Spritz the plastic bag with the spray bottle full of water (Warning: Don’t spray too much water on the plastic bag otherwise the colors will mix).

Step Four:

Flip plastic bag over onto piece of paper.

Step Five:

Rub finger across back side of plastic bag to embed the marker into the paper.

Step Six:

Slowly lift up paper and then you have the final result.

Here is the video link from the lady I learned this technique from. Check her other videos out on Pinterest!
