How to Make Your Own Blog (on Blogger)
Hello peeps! I have heard from some of my followers that because of my blog, they would like to create a blog of their own! And some of them already have (*hint* I'll be recommending some of their blogs in future posts)! But, from experience, I know sometimes making a blog is confusing, especially if you have no information whatsoever on how to make a blog in the first place! So, here is where I'll help. This blog post is all about blog making :). Below, I have steps on how to make your own blog! Have fun!
How to Make Your Own Blog
Step 1: Make a Google account
If you already have a Google account, skip to the next step. If you don't have a Google account, Click here to be taken to Gmail to create one.
Step 2: Go to Blogger
Because you have your own Google account, you now have your own Blogger account! Isn't that nice? To get to Blogger, Click here. There, it will ask you whether you would like to have your blog with Google Plus or sign up with a Blogger account. Personally, I think it is nice to have the account separate from my Google Plus account, but Google says that it is easier to share your blog posts and gain followers if you have your blog with your Google Plus account. You can decide for yourself :). Click which one you want and it should take you to another page.
Step 3: Make Your Blog
On the next page you're delivered to, it should have an arrow pointing to a "New Blog" button. Click on the "New Blog" button. There, you should see a pop-up that will ask for your Blog title, blog address, and Blog template. Below, I'll explain what those mean:
Blog title: This will be what your blog is called. When people go to your blog, this will be the first thing they see. Preferably, your blog title should be the same as the blog address. It doesn't have to be that way, but it's easier that way. Also, your blog title should be creative and express who you are and what you'll be talking about in your blog.
Blog address: This will be what people will type in to get to your blog, otherwise known as the web address. As I mentioned above, it's easier and simpler of you use your Blog Title in your Blog address. An example of this would be my blog. The Blog Title is Azziness and the blog address is www.azziness.blogspot.com
Those are the steps on making your blog! It's pretty easy! On a side note, the computer I did it on was a PC. I don't know if Macs have a different version, but if they do, these steps may be a little off. Sorry :(. Soon, I'll post tips on how to begin posting on your blogs and tips on how to perfect your blog so it shows who you are and attracts readers! Comment below if you'd like me to clarify some of the steps or if you used these steps to make a blog of your own, I'd love to take a look at it! I hope this post helps! ~Azzi~

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I hope all of you guys are having a great holiday! I know I have so far :). There are so many people things I am thankful for. I won't list them all because the list would be everlasting. I have something for you guys to think about today: there have been studies that have shown that if you write something that you are thankful for every single day, you are an overall happier person. If you did this, you wouldn't just be thinking about thankfulness on Thanksgiving, but every single day. You would find that if you didn't have that one person in your life, you would not be able to survive. You would be more thankful for the small things in your life. You would see the cup half full instead of half empty. This year, I am going to write one thing a day that I'm thankful for. You guys can join me if you want :). Anyway, again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! ~Azzi~

Giving Gratitude :)
Hey followers! I hope you guys are having an awesome day! So, this morning, my family gathered for Bible time and we talked about Gratitude. And I realized that there are lots of things that we don't express as much gratitude as we should to the people around us. While we were having Bible time, my mom had the idea that we do "Secret Servants". We are doing it among our family and it's kind of like Secret Santa where you give presents or write notes for Christmas, but in Secret Servant we are giving presents and writing notes to express our gratitude. I think this would be a cool idea to do outside the family too, like making cookies for neighbors or writing notes to our pastors or teachers expressing how grateful we are for them. A bonus of doing this is that it's in the month of November when Thanksgiving is! Now is the perfect opportunity to express gratitude to those around you! So, I just want to encourage you to maybe wiggle out of your comfort zone and maybe take a little time out of your day to thank someone for all they have done for you whether you get them a gift or not :). And also, take time to thank God for those people and the things that he has made :).
"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17
After writing all that, I guess I should take time to thank you guys who are reading my blog and hanging in there even when I don't blog anything for a while :). And to those of you who are just visiting, thank you guys too! If you guys have any creative ways of being thankful, comment them below. Don't be shy :)! ~Azzi~

Bucket List CONTEST!!!
Hi y'all! I hope you guys are having an awesome Halloween so far :)! So, I was looking at my 15 bucket list and I found that I have done almost half of the things I wanted to do this year already! I have tried something new at Starbucks (btw, it was a Java chip frappe), I read Blood of Olympus, I read a book in one day, I rearranged my room, I found a good book series to read, and a few other things. Because I'm almost halfway through, I need more things to do this year! So, to get more things to do this year for my bucket list, I am holding a contest! Starting tomorrow (Saturday, November 1st), you guys can scout out ideas for my bucket list and the one I think is the best one will get a shout out on my blog! How the contest works is: When you find an idea for my bucket list, then you comment on this post! It's that simple! If you have multiple ideas, you can comment those too! The contest will last for a week, so it ends on Saturday, November 8th. I can't wait to see your ideas! Happy Halloween! ~Azzi~

Halloween! ...and Christmas? :)
Hey followers and onlookers of Azziness!!! I hope you guys are doing well :). So, this weird realization hit me today: Christmas is coming up soon! Now, how this crazy idea came to my head was that my family and I started making our Christmas lists today and we sent the beginnings of our lists to our extended family. Also, I've heard people already shopping for gifts for Christmas. Is it just me, or does Christmas seem to be coming early this year? Personally, Christmas is my favorite holiday, so I don't mind preparing things for it a little earlier than usual :). Wow, I just realized that tomorrow is Halloween and I'm talking about Christmas!!! That's shows my obsession for Christmas :). Anyway, I hope you guys have a fun Halloween tomorrow and an awesome Christmas when that comes around :D. ~Azzi~

15 year old Bucket List
My wonderful followers,
Can you guys believe that its already October? Even crazier, can you believe this year ends in only 3 months? I cannot believe it! Well, its unbelievable for me because, as I've mentioned before in this blog, my birthday is in October. My birthday is a week from now and I am going to be turning 15. This blog post is about a tradition that I started last year for my birthday :). Last year, there were a lot of things that I wanted to accomplish the year I was 14. As I was writing them down a little after my birthday, I thought, why not make a bucket list of things to complete before I turn 15? Now that my birthday is coming up, I'm trying to quickly cross off a few things :). But, I have been thinking of the bucket list I'm going to make to complete before I turn 16. So, below are the things I have so far!
15 year old Bucket List
1. Read a book backwards
2. Have a silly string fight
3. Get 100 followers on Instagram
4. Bake a dessert that I've never baked before
5. Read a book in one day
6. Try something new at Starbucks
7. Make a huge chocolate chip cookie
8. Take lots of pictures and print them, then hang them up on my wall in my room as a collage.
9. Rearrange my room
10. Finish the Lunar Chronicles
11. Do a photo challenge every month
12. Try chocolate bacon (I've heard it's good! Don't judge :])
13. Plan Sweet Sixteen
14. Watch Avengers 2
15. Begin writing a book
16. Have a photo shoot with friends
17. Find a good series you haven't read before
18. Read the Driver's Manual
19. Make a collage on poster board using pictures you've taken or scraps of magazines
20. Complete "Wreck this Journal"
21. Watch all the episodes of a new TV show on Netflix
22. Expand blog :)
23. Get 500 followers on Pinterest
24. Make paracord bracelets and give them to people
25. Reread the Christy Miller series
26. Have a Disney Movie Marathon
27. Record a day in my life
28. Try Hair Chalk
29. Go on a shopping spree with friends
30. Carve something into a tree
That is what I have so far! If you have any more bucket list ideas that I don't have listed, feel free to comment ideas! Also if you see something like "Watch all the episodes of a new TV show on Netflix", and have an idea of a TV show I would like, then feel free to comment suggestions about things I should watch, read, or whatever to help me finish this bucket list on time :). You guys are awesome and I hope you guys have a great week!!! ~Azzi~

About My Post: Birthday Gift List
Hey followers! I just found out something crazy about my blog post called "Birthday Gift List". Do you remember when I said in the post that September was the month with the most birthdays in America? Well, when I looked into that a little more after I posted the post, I found out that the most popular day for people in America to have their birthday is September 16th, which was the day I posted that post about birthday gift ideas. Funny, right? I just thought that was interesting :). If any of you guys have a birthday in September, comment below and I will post something special for you September birthdays :). Anyway, I hope you guys are having a great weekend and I'll make sure to post soon! ~Azzi~

Birthday Gift List
Hey Followers! I know this is like the gizillionth time I've told you guys this, but I am so sorry for not posting very often! I have been busy with school so I haven't been able to post very much. Another reason I haven't been posting is because I haven't thought of any good ideas for blogging. The break I've taken from posting has given me time to find things to post! But, I am definitely going to try to post more often for you guys :). So, here we go!
Fun Fact: The month that most people in America have their birthdays in is September. Another Fun Fact: My birthday is in a month! So it seems pretty fit to make a post about birthday presents to give your friends and family that were born in September, or anytime of the year! Enjoy the list!
My Ultimate List For Birthday Presents
1. Nail Polish: this is really easy and pretty much all girls love it! This is a perfect gift to add with other things if you think your present isn't quite enough.
2. Notebook/Sketchbook: have a crafty person in mind? This is the perfect gift! There are tons of different notebooks and sketchbooks that have awesome designs.
3. Candy: find out the birthday person's candy and then, done! You have an awesome gift! I have found that if you don't know what they're favorite candy is, then a great candy to settle with is chocolate :).
4. Duck Tape: this has been a fad for a while, but if you go to Hobby Lobby, there are lots of cool designs that you can choose from. From bacon to mustaches and polka dots to zebra print!
5. Jewelry: Almost every girl loves jewelry! And if they have their ears pierced, there are more choices to choose from!
6. Headphones: I have seen lots of cute designs for earphones lately and they are a perfect present for that girl who loves gadgets!
7. Gift Cards: I know this one may be a little obvious, but here is a list of gift cards that are pretty popular today: Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, and Target.
8. Sunglasses: this one may seem really silly, but I got purple zebra sunglasses as a gift once, and I love them! There are so many designs that your friend or family that you have in mind will love!
9. Fuzzy socks/slippers: as it is getting colder and colder (hopefully slowly :]) fuzzy socks or slippers are awesome presents! Neon fuzzy socks and slippers are fun to wear and would be a great thing to consider too.
10. Color scheme gift: what is your family/friend's favorite color? Base the gift off that! One friend who I was shopping for had the favorite color of orange. I got orange nail polish, candy, washcloth (the ones that unfold under water :]), and the box I put it all in was orange. She loved it!
That was the list! But, for fun, below I have a list of a few celebs that have a birthday in September!
September 1st: Zendaya (Shake it up!)
September 3rd: Shaun White (Olympic snowboarder)
September 5th: Skandar Keynes (Edmund in Narnia)
September 8th: Martin Freeman (Bilbo in the Hobbit)
September 17th: Mia Talerico (Charlie from Good Luck Charlie)
September 24th: Kevin Sorbo (What if?, Soul Surfer)
September 26th: Serena Williams (tennis player)
September 28th: Hilary Duff (Lizzy McGuire)
September 29th: Zachary Levi (Flynn Rider in Tangled)
So, I hope you've enjoyed this post after so long that I haven't posted! Make sure you vote in the poll! I really want to know more about my followers! Also, just so you guys know, I may do a blog series soon, I won't tell you all the details yet because I am still in the process of planning it, but if I plan to do it, be excited! You guys are such awesome followers for sticking in there even when I don't post for awhile! ~Azzi~

Story time!
Hello my wonderful followers! I am back and today I'm going to do something that I have never done before, but I mentioned I would do it when I started this blog, so this should be fun! Below, there is going to be a picture and you guys have to write a story behind it. You can post it in the comments, write it down in a journal, or just think about what you would write in your head. If you need help thinking of ideas, I have some questions below for you to think about to get your creative juices flowing. I will post mine tomorrow for you guys to see. Enjoy!
Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you get started: Where does this path lead to? What creatures are around this path? What time is it? Who is with you down this path? Or is a fictional character going down the path? Who is with them?

First Blog Event :)
About 45 days ago I made a promise stating that I would quote "be on schedule tomorrow". About 45 days later I have not posted. Sorry about that! But, because of this time between posts I have been thinking about having a blog event. I have come up with an idea that will make up for the days I've missed posting! So, the blog event is...drumroll please...........
A 2 WEEK PHOTO CHALLENGE!!!!!!!
How it works on Pinterest: if you have a Pinterest account, make a board (if you would like your photos to be kept secret make a secret board) and call the board #2weeksofphotos. When you have made the board, follow me on Pinterest (my Pinterest name is Asriel Kerr) and comment on a pin on my #2weeksofphotos board. Then, I will follow your #2weeksofphotos board. On Sunday (July 27), I will post photo challenges. An example of one of these challenges is: something blue. You can either find a picture on Pinterest to pin, or take a picture of your own and pin it.
How it works on Instagram: follow me on Instagram and comment on one of my pictures saying that you are participating in this 2 Week Photo Challenge. I will then follow you. Throughout the week, I would love to see your pictures!!! Remember to tag #2weeksofphotos !!!
On every picture, write on the description what challenge you are pinning (Ex. Challenge 1) and #2weeksofphotos. I am so excited to see your pictures! If you have any questions, comment below! In other news, posting daily has been hard to do for me (obviously), but I am going to try posting 1 or 2 times a week and maybe eventually start posting daily. Thanks for hanging in there! ~Azzi~

#ThursdayThoughts
Usually, I would post a picture and ask for your thoughts about it, but, my computer is not uploading the images. So, I thought that instead of showing pictures, I would share quotes and ask you guys to comment what your favorite quote is that I listed and why. Here are the quotes:
"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
"Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything."
-Muhammad Ali
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." -Albert Camus
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Seuss
“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” -Mother Teresa
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." -Charlie Chaplin
"There is little success where there is little laughter," -Andrew Carnegie
"Laughter is the sun that drives the winter from the human race," -Victor Hugo
"The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter," -Mark Twain
"Happiness often sneaks through a door that you didn't know you left open," -John Barrymore
"Some cause happiness wherever they go and some cause happiness whenever they go," -Oscar Wilde
"Beauty is not in the face, beauty is a light in the heart," -Kihil Gibran
"A woman whose smile is open, and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears," -Anne Roiphe
"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy," -Anne Frank
"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it," -Bruce Lee
Personally, my favorite is the Charlie Chaplin quote, although I love all of them. I think I like the Charlie Chaplin quote so much because I love laughter and listening to people laugh because it just brightens my day and usually it comes after something funny :). Remember to comment what you think! ~Azzi~

Crafty Tuesday: Memory Jar
Are you guys ready for a new craft? Well, I have one for you. This week it is a -drumroll please-........................................ 2014 Memory Jar! A picture of the one I made for this year is below. Here are the simple and easy steps:
Step 1: Find a jar (I've found that a big pickle jar works best).
Step 2: Clean the jar (On mine there was a sticker, so I scrubbed that off and I also washed out the inside. You may not have to do this step if it's already clean).
Step 3: Decorate the lid (the lid of my jar was blue with a pickle on it and I didn't want that on my jar, so I painted it with white acrylic paint and it looks beautiful. You can try other ideas though to make it your own).
Step 4: Decorate the rest (I used duct tape to write "2014" on mine. You can do that or do anything else that can decorate a jar).
Step 5: Let it dry if it needs to and then put your favorite memories of the year or the summer in them. Then, open them at the end of the year/summer and enjoy all the lovely memories you've made.
There you go! If you try this out,comment below, or post a picture of it on Instagram with the hashtag #azzinessjar. I hope you enjoyed this craft! ~Azzi~

Reflection of Verse of the Week
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God..." 1 John 3:1
I really love this verse. In VBS, I learned a little song to go with it and I have remembered it to this day. I think I love this verse so much because it makes me think of how much God loves us. He showed how much He loved us by dying on the cross for us! It just blows my mind to think about it! But, more to blow people's mind is that He did it so that we could be His children! We are God's children, the princes and princesses of the one, true King! Always remember that! ~Azzi~

Friday :D
Hey guys! Are you ready for the first journal prompt of this blog? So, about the journal prompt: sometimes I will post a journal prompt that is personal about you (Example: write about your bestie) or it could be the beginning of a story that you have to finish (Example: All the sudden I saw a...). Your response can be as long or as short as you want. You also don't have to do it at all, but at least think of what you would write :). If you want, you can post your response in the comments and I will definitely read them. Okay, here is the journal prompt of the week:
I suddenly heard a scream echoing through the hallway...
Have fun with this! Have a great weekend! ~Azzi~

Fashion Way Wednesday
Here is the link to my Polyvore creation for this week: http://www.polyvore.com/casual_outfit/set?id=122577397 . Come and check it out! I hope you guys like it! ~Azzi~
New Schedule
I have gotten some feedback concerning my schedule. I have heard that posting multiple posts a day is a bit overwhelming, but I still want to post the things I was planning on posting; so I have decided to post daily. If I miss a day, then I will either try to make up for it, or I will skip that day and go on. So, now that I have my new schedule, it will look like this: Sunday- No posts (unless it is the first week of the month in which I will post a photo challenge for the month). Monday- Bible Verse of the week. Tuesday- New poll and Crafty Tuesday. Wednesday- Fashion Way Wednesday (I will post a Polyvore creation I made). Thursday- Picture (I'll post a picture). Friday- Journal prompt. Saturday- results from the poll and my reflection of the Bible verse. So, there you go. Soon, later today I will post my Polyvore creation for Fashion Way Wednesday and tomorrow we will be completely on schedule! Thanks again for hanging in there!
