Help Save Lives

This month I am trying to raise $2,000 to help save lives and souls. I am going to a Walk for Life fundraiser. Avenues Pregnancy Clinic shares the gospel with women that want to have an abortion; they also give a free ultrasound and pregnancy test to the women. The volunteers at Avenues show the mom their baby’s heart beat and most women choose not to abort their baby! The only money Avenues gets is from donators and from the walk where lots of people gather and raise money. Please sponsor me by visiting my page: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/thesiddallfamily/walk-for-life-2015. Also, if you would like to find out more about Avenues you can go to their website, which is: http://avenuespc.org/go-walk-for-life/!

Thank you!!!

How To Improve Your Writing

This school year, in my language arts program, I learned some amazing tips for dressing up my writing. Here are some of my favorites.

1. "ly" adverb

2. Who or which clause

3. Strong verb that has image or feeling

4. Because clause

5. Quality adjective

6. Adverbial clause

Here are some examples of this...

Without 'ly" adverb: The boy did his chores.

"ly" adverb added: The boy diligently did his chores.

Without who or which clause: The boy was a big help.

Who or which clause: The boy who was small, was a big help.

Without strong verb: The boy worked in the yard.

Strong verb added: The boy labored in the yard.

Without because clause: The boy played.

Because clause added: Because the boy did his chores, he could go play.

Without quality adjective: The elephant ripped up a tree.

Quality adjective added: The massive elephant ripped up a tree.

Without adverbial clause: I can eat dessert.

Adverbial clause added: If I eat all my dinner, I can eat dessert.

Please comment and tell me if you have any tips for writing!

Hope you enjoy this!

How To Make a Message In a Clothes Pin

Here is a great, quick and easy, craft, message in a cloths pin. I hope you enjoy it, as much as I did!!! :)

Paper, Pens/and or, sharpie, Clothes pin, scissors, glue stick

Begin by cutting a small piece of paper to fit on the front of the pin. if you need the measurements, it's 1 eighth of an inch long, and half a inch wide. (you might need to trim it a bit, to make sure it's not showing on the top) Then, draw or write anything you want on the front.

Cut the paper precisely in half, and glue it to the front of the pin.

Then cut about two inches long of paper, or enough to bend completely over the top of the pin on both sides, and be bent in the middle. :P (same with as other paper) and fold it in half, than fold the sides down.
