a few sketches

Hey guys! Sorry for being all MIA for the past few days, I just didn't really have anything to post about :P But I do now! I've been drawing faces lately, and I wanted to share two of them with you guys.
First...

We have my attempt at Taylor Swift. I kinda like how it turned out, but there are several things I want to change. For instance, make the eyes a bit more even :P

And now, ladies and gents, I bring you:

Katniss Everdeen. I don't know if I've told you, but I am obsessed with the Hunger Games series, and I've watched the trailer for the movie at least a thousand times now.

I finished the third book last week and was so disappointed it was over.

If you haven't read the last book yet, do not read the next paragraph. It contains major spoilers!

Anyway, back to the book. I was sobbing my eyes out when Prim died. I was literally crying like a baby. And Finnick. Omigosh I can hardly talk about it! And honestly, I'm glad that Katniss and Peeta ended up together, but I never really got over the fact that Peeta went kinda insane.

Yeah, my heart still aches whenever I think of Peeta. He'll never be the same in my eyes. And neither will Katniss. Because she just didn't turn out how I thought she would. A mutt. Or partly one anyway. Geez, I'm getting depressed just talking about it. Don't get me wrong, I still am in love with Katniss and Peeta, but it's just so sad.

They'll never be the same.

But seriously, these books are definitely some of my favorites!

Okay, got that out! Did you like the hunger games?

My name is Rachel, I blog over at Shepherd's Daughter about growing up in the Philippines, living in California, and pursuing my dreams of saving the world. Well, my way. ;) I also babble about my day-to-day passions and creative inspirations for my little jewelry shop. 

I started selling hand-made jewelry on Ebay in 2007 after I signed up for sponsoring a World-Vision child. I had my heart set on this beautiful 7-year old Filipina, but didn't have the funds to support her. Today, profit from the shop go to  an impoverished town called Guimaras where young children are in constant need of daily amenities. Come by and hang out for a while. I love making new friends!

Secondly, the chatbox: I just want to make it clear that when the gadget at the side of the screen on my blog homepage says 2 or more that means that someone else is visiting my blog so go to the chatbox and chat, because that's what it's there for ;)
And finally the post count: this is my 98th post *wink* *wink*

According to the poll.........

You guys want me to put up more stories of everyday life in my house and book reviews. Well I have a story for you right now:
Yesterday when I wasn't feeling too sick I helped my mom paint the upstairs hallway. We picked a really pretty light blue and i loved it. First we had to paint around the window and the door frames, just because the roller wouldn't be able to fit in the corners or right next to the door frame. So that was my job. After we finished my mom called Kate and Mark upstairs so they could do their part, which was actually paint the hallway. My job was done until the first coat dried and then back to "tracing the edges". It dried pretty quickly so we just repeated what we did the first time. When Kate and Mark were finally done I came upstairs to look. It was really pretty but there was something wrong.
I looked at Mummy (thats what we call our mom) and she said, "I really like it, but i think it's too........baby boyish." She was right. It was just not a fit color for the hallway. It was waaay too bright. I still liked it, but i had to agree with her. So today we're painting the hallway a different color. It's more grayish, but we already had a little conversation about how it might be a little too gray. Are we never going to find the right color?!? Oh well, i've always liked to paint. And whatever color we pick at least it'll be a fresh and new.
Have any of you guys had a paint disaster/problem?

Can you believe it?!?

I skipped right over my fiftieth post! Wow! Just to let you know, this is post number sixty!!! Again, if you know anything about HTML and changing two columns into three columns, please click HERE!
