STUMPED.

Am I the only one that has a hard time thinking of the PERFECT gift to buy someone? I have to admit, I am doing a little better this year; I have 10 and a half gifts out of 17 purchased and WRAPPED.
I put up my tree tonight and tackled the wrapping. Out of these gifts, none of them are PERFECT. They are suitable...but not perfect. I should put a little more thought into it before going to the mall I guess...
Maybe this will be my New Year's resolution... to make detailed plans of what I will get everyone for Christmas...but what fun would that be?
Hold me to it.

On a lighter note....

someone tell me how 17 gifts are going to fit under it...

don't be jealous of my awesome cell phone ornament.

yes, i made this...

presents.

I'm 17, and i have a madeline ornament. 

Snoopy

lightsss.

MY TREE IS UP...for now. I have a very flimsy tree....it's one of those emergency trees. Two years ago I had a four or five foot tree with pre-strung lights...and they burned out, so my dad bought me one from Dollar General/Family Dollar or whatever and well...it tends to fall over with the weight of all my ornaments and the jumping up and down of my Christmas joy.

 i dress my dog up like Santa...
She was terrified.

Have any of y'all decorated for Christmas? What's your favorite Christmas ornament?
Mine is a snowman playing the pianooo:)

LOVE♥

Love is like pi...it's irrational. Love is fun, love is wanted, love never goes out of style. Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast. It is not self-seeking, it keeps no records of wrong. It is not easily angered. It does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 

Love can make a smile come to the most simple persons face. 

Most girls dream of marriage.

Love can make you wish to never e inseparable 

All girls love flowers. (remember that guys) 

A kiss on the cheek is simple, but so romantic.

 Little kids in love are so adorable.

                                                                                    All girls need to remember this for sure. Wait for the perfect guy. Have high expectations. Have standards. Don't let him use you. You are special, you are wonderful. Chivalry isn't dead, it just has a bad cold. 

Guys: remember she is beautiful, no matter what she does. Don't put her down, love her, hold her, comfort her, cherish her. She could be gone in a heartbeat. Make sure she knows you appreciate her. Don't let her use you. Don't  settle for someone who does not respect or appreciate you. Remember she's a girl and moody. She hardly means half the things she says. 

This is my boyfriend:) We have been dating nearly nine months and I am terribly grateful for him. We argue yet we are always happy. He is proof that chivalry is not dead.

What do you look for in a guy? 

short & simple:)

 Hey guys!
Follow me on Twitter:)))

 

well hello there old friend.

Oh me, oh my. I have been gone so long from this blog, I feel I need to reintroduce myself!

I am Mary Ashleigh:) I am a seventeen year old dreamer with a love for photography. I am a junior in high school and I have huge dreams. My favorite color would probably be purple and I sure don't mind pink:) Vintage is my style, I adore jewelry, shoes and photography. Click the photography tab at the top and browse a few of my things. I occasionally post photographs I take. I am the youngest of three in my family. I have a sister, Stephanie(26) and a brother, Aubrey(23).  My header consists of my nephew and niece that I adore very much so. Emma and Maddox:) Maddox is two years old and Emma is nine months old:) Photography is my passion, but my dream job is in the medical field. My hero is my Savior, Jesus. He died on the cross for myself and everyone else, rose again the third day and continues to live. 

"The King is ENTHRALLED with your beauty. Honor Him for He is your Lord." Psalm 45:11

Emma

Maddox.

 I am occasionally a writer. I have been working on a book for quite a bit and just put it off. The title of it is Prove Your Love. It depicts the story of a teenage girl who has pushed aside love as just a myth that is pointless and a painful experience. She finds that even if you don't believe if love, that doesn't mean you won't experience it. I would greatly appreciate if you would check it out and maybe even offer some lovely suggestions:) 

You are great, feel free to explore my blog and follow if you wish:) I'd greatly appreciate it!
