Pretty in Purple blog party

I'm not entering the giveaway, but I'm answering the questions for fun!

Favorite thing about summer? Well, this summer I'm really looking forward to camping. Can't wait to get away from the city.

Twilight fan?  No. Is there more I can say? It's....no. no.

Favorite quote?

"Eve was not taken out of Adam's head to top him, neither out of his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved by him."
— Matthew Henry

Best thing that has ever happened to you? Becoming a Christian.

Think of every place in the world possible... which of those places would you go to? To the country. To a farm in the middle of nowhere, completely surrounded by nature. After that I'd go to a London hat shop with a gift card :) lol

Favorite food?  Potatoes... served in lots of different ways. Mashed, whipped, scalloped, baked, fried...

What type of music do you like?  Christian soft rock- like Francesca Battistelli and Britt Nicole, also Paul Baloche and MercyMe

Flipflops, bare feet, heels, or flats?   bare feet. But I have terribly bad arches so I have to wear shoes that I can put my arch supports in- so I have these cute Nancy-Drew loafers.

Skirts or jeans? Skirts!!!!!!! Jeans are so uncomfy to me. I've never liked them, even though I've only been wearing skirts for about a year.

Fresh or saltwater?   Fresh. :) It tastes better and saltwater hurts to swim in... like Salt Lake. I've been there once, a really long time ago on a trip.

Skittles or M&Ms? SKITTLES!!!!!!!! Yum-mer-ito

are you a morning person or more of a night person?  Well I get a crazy half-hour at night but I like mornings sometimes.

So, your best friend is talking to a new girl in school... the new girl asks who you are... what do you think your best friend says?  "She's Mary." what else would she say? Unless I was being really imaginative then the friend would say something like, "Oh, her? She's Mary Minship! She's my BEST FRIEND and she's a published writer! Isn't that awesome? She's so sweet and nice and kind and she's so gorgeous!!!" Lol.

Pen or pencil? Pencil

Paper or plastic? Neither.... plastic leeches bad chemicals into food and paper is paper.... I like glass or ceramic or whatev :). But if I had to choose, I'd choose paper.

New look

How do you like it?

Comment and tell me what you think!

Have you noticed... I have almost 5,000 pageviews!!! How exciting! Just a few months ago I was reeling with excitement because I had 100 PAGEVIEWS!!!!!! And now... 5,000!!!

Fred and Tree are doing good. It rained today.

Church was great...

Yup, I like Sundays.

I've been thinking about doing a Fantasy Fiction Week where, for one week, every post you do is from someone elses point of view. Say, you could write posts pretending to be Rapunzel or something, or a pop star, or an African servant in the 1800's. Would you like to do that?

With love, Mary

....and fred

I saw this at the store the other day and I wanted it.

With a little teeny weeny price tag of 13.00 buckaroodles,

I couldn't resist taking him home.

Sooo.......meet my tree. He is unnamed. Although I did try out a few like Bob and Holly or Polly or Chester or Lentils. Ummm.....no. I am not naming a tree lentils. My tree was named Lentils for about 1 minute and Bob for less and Polly for like 1 second.

Meet "tree"! Nice name huh? lol.

The shivering leaves make such a pretty sound! I guess that's why they call it a Quaking aspen... d-duh!

OH!

I can't forget about the little "sucker" (as the lady at the counter called it) in Tree's pot!

(you can see my lovely toesies in the picture... beautiful I know- ew!)

Meet Fred.

I named my little tree and not my big one? huh? I know it's backwards...

No those are not raindrops... they are hose drops. I watered Tree from the top down.... oh wait I watered Tree.... and fred. :)

I love Tree!!!!!! ....and fred.

Someday Tree will grow big and fat and large...and fred.

Ok so Tree is not an apple tree but he will grow big! ....and fred.

hopefully soon!

and fred.



*sigh*

I need a new blog background... and button... and header.
So.....I would say "I'm holding a contest for anyone to enter and make me a new header and get me a new background blah-blah-blah." but i only have 13 followers so i would probably get like 1 entry hehe.
So this is just suggestion because I desperately need a better blog look :) and if you would like to help I would be forever grateful until i change my blog look again :)
so just find any pictures you like and get started if you want to!!!!!!!
email your suggestions to me at minshipwriter@gmail.com
