My new favorite band!

There is a new boy band, called The Wanted. They are British-Irish, and they are soo funny, and really good singers! Their music videos I really like, because they are always singing somewhere new...on a different set. My favorite song by them is called All Time Low. Here is a link to it.

The Wanted members are: Jay, Nathan, Tom, Siva, and Max. The Wanted makes funny YouTube videos that always make me laugh! They dance, make jokes, and just play around while filming. Here is a link to their awesome YouTube channel. If you like the bands Vertical Horizon, or Owl City you will LOVE The Wanted.

What am I reading?

Lately, I have been reading some really great books! I wanted to tell you about a few. The first one is called This is Me From Now On, which is a great book about a girl who becomes friends with her neighbor, who is really outgoing and funny. At first, the main character isn't so sure about her new neighbor, but throughout the book they really get to know each other, and become good friends.


Another book I read that I liked was called Lucky T. It's about a girl who is in highschool, and has a t-shirt that she believes give her good luck. One day, her mom accidently donates it to a charity that goes to India! And what do you think Carrie, the main character does? She runs after it, heading to India.

These are some really great books for teenagers. Check them out!

Dotty's theme for February

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Dotty's theme for February is...

Make your own, clever Valentines!

All you need is some construction paper, glue, scissors, and doilies...and a little bit of thought.

First you cut out the heart, and attach the doilie. You can use this heart as a stencil for your other Valentines. Then you write a clever little comment on your Valentine, and attach a candy that goes a long with it. Examples I made up myself: "I'd be so JOLLY if you were my Valentine!" (attach a Jolly Rancher candy), and "See you at 'Reeses' (recess), Valentine!" (attach a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup candy.)

Decorate, add stickers, or sparkles, and you have your own clever Valentines that are EASY to make!

Have a good Valentine's Day!

Dotty's theme for January is...

A fun craft!

I have been doing a lot of crafts lately. I wanted to share my favorite one I did!

Button hair barretts - I made these for my friends as their Christmas presents. It's super easy! All you have to do, is buy some bobby pins at a craft store with a little disk at the end (this is so the buttons will stay on the pin) choose your favorite buttons, and super glue them on. It looks great when you layer buttons, too.

Check out these pictures of some I made!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

FINALLY IT'S OCTOBER!! MY FAVORITE MONTH!!!!
I love Halloween. I love dressing up, and I love carving pumpkins, which is why my theme for this month is...

CARVING PUMPKINS!!!
I carved some pumpkins that were awesome this year. I carved one with a skull on it (Psst, used a stencil) and another to look like the Pumpkin Giant from the book: The Pumpkin Giant! (Did myself.) They were really fun to do. Check out the skull one I did, below!

Here is the one I did myself, without a stencil!
