1 cup of flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar

1 stick of butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lay pie crust in a pan. Pour peach filling into the pan. Mix together the dry ingredients with butter, lay crumple on top of peaches. Cover with foil, bake for 15 minutes, uncover and bake for another 30 minutes. Take out of the oven and serve with ice cream! Enjoy! :)

Me and Volleyball

Volleyball....is what consumes most of my time, weekdays and weekends! I'm not complaining, because I LOVE VOLLEYBALL! It is my favorite sport, which says a lot, because I love sports!


One thing you may not know about me, is when I play volleyball, I have to wear a knee brace...ugh! Why, you may ask??? Eleven months ago, I was playing a friendly game of flag football with boys. One boy, who shall remain nameless, tackled me (in other words, took a cheap shot, when I wasn't looking!) My knee was knocked out of socket and my ACL snapped. I immediately knew something was wrong. It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. After reconstructive surgery, I couldn't play sports for 6 loooooong months, which was really hard. You see, my freshman year of high school, I made the Varsity volleyball team, and I couldn't wait to return.

Two days after surgery, I started rehab. I went to rehab 3 times a week and hit the gym the rest of the time. At first, I cried through my entire exercises. The tears eventually stopped and I continue to get stronger. I also had a heart issue. I had a lot of anger towards the nameless boy. That was probably the hardest to get over.

After 6 months, I returned to volleyball, but now I wear a brace. I don't really mind, I'm getting use to it. It is a reminder to me, that things happen that we don't plan, or want, but you make it through, with lots of prayer and hard work. I'm so glad that I'm a work in progress.

(This is a picture of me, right when I returned to play. I was still figuring out how to bend my knee. )

Old Pictures

I went to visit my grandma the other day and she gave me two amazing pictures! One was a very large picture of my great-great grandma from when she was a little girl, and the other was a cross-stitch flower that my great-great grandma made! It has been in the family for a while! Lucky me!!! I decided to redo the frames to go with my room and make them look antique white. All I did was sand them down and lightly paint over them!
(I don't have a before pic, I deleted it on accident.)
Wasn't she a cute little girl?


This picture was her embroidery work. She was very talented!

Now it matches my room perfectly. I love it!

Flower Headband

Here is an easy way to turn a simple headband into a cute accessory to complete any outfit! All you need to do is trace and cut circles out of felt, then sew them together and then sew or glue them on the headband. It only took 5 minutes. :) This is my little sister, Tristyn! My auntie Kendra took the cutest pictures of her. If you can see on her head is the little headband I made, it completed her look!
Aww she is a cutie! :)
