Rachel's Homemade Cards!

I am starting a business to make some money (I am saving up for a few things). If you guys are interested, here is a copy of the flyer that I handed out to the people in my neighborhood. (Sorry about how squished it looks, I couldn't fix it.)

Rachel's Homemade Cards!

Hi! My name is Rachel, and I am 12 years old. I love scrap booking and making cards with stamps and colorful paper. I would love to share my hobby with you! So, I am going to be selling homemade cards at low prices. I can make cards for all kinds of occasions, like:

-Birthdays

-Anniversaries

-Congratulations

-Thanks

-And many more!

My prices are much lower than those in regular stores: all cards are just $2 each! Packets of five cards are available a just $7.

Ordering your cards or packets is easy. Just call me and tell me what you want for your card, like what colors you want, the occasion, and what you want the inside to say.

I will make your card as soon as possible, and please allow me a few days to make it. If I have not gotten your card to you in one week, your next order is free!

To place your order, or if you have any questions, please call [my phone number] and ask for Rachel. If we do not answer, feel free to leave a message that includes your phone number, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Rachel

The Story Behind the Picture...

These are pictures to explain the story behind this picture:

This picture, "The Bad Rooster," has intrigued you all, I'm sure. I know you all lost a lot of sleep wondering what the heck was going on. Well, we were on a trail by a lake in Canada on our trip. My grandparents and Josh stayed behind, and my mom, dad, Joel and I went on the trail. Well, we came to this cute little stream that you had to cross a bridge to get over. Naturally, my mom and I just thought about how pretty it was and walked on by. My dad, however, had another idea...

(Oh, hush. I know it's sideways. I don't know how to change it. Deal with it.)

And that turned into this:

Actually, Joel is holding up a peace sign, but it was caught out of the picture.

Then my mom and dad walked away, content that they had done their work.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Spring Cleaning Has Begun!

Yesterday, some of my friends in the neighborhood came over and helped me clean out and organize my closet. My ENTIRE closet! They are such great friends.

But I am sooooo happy now, because when I open my closet door, things don't fall out! Hooray!

What spring cleaning have you done?

Punctuation inside the quotation marks! You must be so proud. *sniffle*] all by Dave Barry and Ridely Pearson. Well, they are amazing books! Each of them is about tttttthhhhhiiiiiisssss thick, but I finished each book within three days because I couldn't put them down! These books explain:

-How Tinker Bell came to be
-How Peter got to Never Land
-How Peter got the ability to fly

-Captain Hook's constant struggle with the crocodile who wants to eat him
-The Indians of Never Land

Also, in these books, Peter is actually with Wendy, Michael, and John's parents, Molly Aster and George Darling.
