I've also been busy with many things-school, <em>Crystal and Karina's La Revue</em>, and Tiny Bubblers!. What that is, is my own site!</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Tiny Bubblers are creatures that you create and take care of. =D (That's our motto :] ) The creatures are cute, adorable, little pom-poms that I put eyes on...sounds boring, right? WAHH!! Wrongo! I set up a lot of contests-there's one going on right now-, they have rooms, you have Dobblers, you can buy them furniture, and moree!</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">So check it out and create a Tiny Bubbler today!</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.freewebs.com/bubblies121"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Here's</span></a><span style="color:#33ccff;"> the link :]]</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Thanks!</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446782908515596963.post-52782838893716491792009-02-04T17:10:00.002-05:002009-02-04T17:17:56.665-05:00News About Howling Wolves<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">Heyy, peeps!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">LoL. If you read my last post, then you know how my friend, Becca, and I own this site called Howling Wolves (read post for more details). I also told you that I was working on a site that would be the news about Howling Wolves, but it wasn't created yet. Well, now it is! Here's the link: </span><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/karina4"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff0000;">www.freewebs.com/karina4</span></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">Also, I might be creating another site like a blog on there. Just because my two other friends made sites there b/c I had with the wolves, but I feel a wee bit left out...long story..haha.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">But if i end up making one on there, <span style="color:#ff0000;">DON'T WORRY</span>! I'll still post here! ^.^</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">Also, please tell all of your friends about this site? I don't get too many visitors anymore...only Jill and Christine, I think, but that's b/c we all look at eachother's blogs...</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#33ccff;">Thankss<span style="color:#ff0000;">!!!!!</span><33</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446782908515596963.post-29968005055939679502009-01-31T22:59:00.005-05:002009-01-31T23:36:40.959-05:00Howling Wolves<span style="color:#6600cc;">Hey everybodyyyy!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">My good friend, Becca, is insanely in love with wolves...so she made a site, called Howling Wolves, and I'm co-owner! What you do is you create a wolf, name it, and put it in a pack or have it be a Lone Wolf. It's not an interactive pet where you can feed it and everything, but it's still fun. You can find mates, have puppies, and it might even become Alpha of the pack! So check it out and click, on the side of it, How to Join The Pack, and send your form in to the e-mail posted there. Or, if you want, you can send it into my blog e-mail, </span><a href="mailto:karina.beana.x3@gmail.com"><span style="color:#33ccff;">karina.beana.x3@gmail.com</span></a><span style="color:#6600cc;">.<br /><br />The site is: <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/richisliving"><span style="color:#33ccff;">www.freewebs.com/richisliving</span></a></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">Hope you join!</span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6600cc;">Also, I'm working on a site that will be called 'News About Howling Wolves'. It will be where I give updates on what's happening with the wolves on the other site. More details coming soon.</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446782908515596963.post-73335113940215943232009-01-27T21:30:00.002-05:002009-01-27T21:37:51.135-05:00Clueless About the Age?<span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff9900;">You usually hear that "Age is nothing but a number..." But, at least you know what that number is! Well, not one celebrity. That's right, Akon told the Associated Press this week that he has absolutely NO idea of how old he is. "I don't want to know I'm getting older," he said. "Then I'll start to think about getting check-ups and insurance. I don't want that."</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff9900;">His birth certificate says he's 31...he claims he's 21. He also says that he'll be celebrating his 21st b-day for the next 10 years!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#ff9900;">Source from </span><a href="http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/blenderburner/18603/hip-hops-benjamin-button/"><em><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#9999ff;">this</span></em></a><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#ff9900;"> site.</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446782908515596963.post-77319725762301628132009-01-20T17:57:00.003-05:002009-01-20T19:11:49.827-05:00Neat Information!<span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">'Sup, viewers and readers of Smudge & Things! =]</span><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;">Please read this awesome list of very interesting facts...and it's all thanks to one of my best friends, Sarah, for sending me it in an e-mail! <33333</span><br /><ol><li><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#6666cc;">'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand...</span></li><li><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;color:#00cccc;">And 'lollipop' is the longest word typed with your right hand.

He is an AH-mazing pavement drawer! Julian has been making pavement drawings for over ten years, and has worked all over the world. His drawings have included both drawings of masters, with a collection of original pieces of work. In my opinion, he's most famous for his anamorphic illusions, drawn at a special angle to create a 3-D picture. Here are some of his amaaaaaaaazing drawings!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;">Meet Mr. Frog:</span> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mvYLdf_tE4U/SW84r_O2iKI/AAAAAAAAAB4/HhhNqjjSUno/s1600-h/meeting+mr.+frog.bmp"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mvYLdf_tE4U/SW8-bpixOcI/AAAAAAAAAEA/l6EmwtreDow/s1600-h/meeting+mr.+frog.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291516731912698306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mvYLdf_tE4U/SW8-bpixOcI/AAAAAAAAAEA/l6EmwtreDow/s320/meeting+mr.+frog.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#6633ff;">Self-Portrait Of The Artist With Liquid Refreshment: </span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mvYLdf_tE4U/SW8-clzn6-I/AAAAAAAAAEg/4eIAQULn6EQ/s1600-h/Self-Portrait+Of+The+Artist+With+Liquid+Refreshment..bmp"><span style="color:#6633ff;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291516748089519074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mvYLdf_tE4U/SW8-clzn6-I/AAAAAAAAAEg/4eIAQULn6EQ/s320/Self-Portrait+Of+The+Artist+With+Liquid+Refreshment..bmp" border="0" /></span></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mvYLdf_tE4U/SW84r26Eo8I/AAAAAAAAACA/p6hM8H0sgrA/s1600-h/Self-Portrait+Of+The+Artist+With+Liquid+Refreshment..bmp"></a><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff9900;">Let's be friends.

That cute little boy in there is my 5 year old cousin, Tyler. He was born prematurely and is mentally challenged. He will probably never walk or talk. I have joined my aunt (his grandma) in <span style="color:#6633ff;">March of Dimes, March for Babies</span>. What you do is you raise money either with a group/company or by yourself, and all of the money raised goes to research to find out how to stop premature birth. But, March for Babies isn't just for premies-it also tries to have all babies be born healthy!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;color:#33ccff;">If you would like to donate and help me reach my goal of $400, go to my page </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.marchforbabies.com/karinajulie"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#6633ff;">here</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff99ff;"><span style="color:#33ccff;">.

I usually get bored with blogging after a while, but one of my New Year resolutions is to find exciting things to blog about and to blog for a long time! ^.^ I hope everybody had a very happy new year, and that you all have an even better year in 2009!</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446782908515596963.post-39338815634664359042008-12-24T22:09:00.002-05:002008-12-24T22:13:16.936-05:00Merry Christmas<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Hello everybody<br />I just wanted to wish you all a veryy merry Christmasss!

(:<span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ff0000;">Hello, everybody, and happy upcoming holidays!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#33cc00;"> As you may have noticed, there is a Christmas tree at the top of my blog. (I hope you noticed at least, haha). Anyways, you can leave me gifts there. You can choose from some cartoon ones already made, or you can search others and get pictures of real ones. You can choose the box type/ribbon and color.<br /></span><span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ff0000;"> Also, on the wall in that room there is a calendar. Scroll over it and you will see the number of days left for Christmas! Or you can also do that by scrolling down and looking at "Christmas Countdown".<br /> <span style="color:#33cc00;">Another thing added is "My Snowglobe". All it is is a Snowglobe with a cute little snowman inside that you can click and shake.<br /></span> Yet another thing! Ahhahhh. You may have noticed a little reindeer on my page too. That is my Page Pet that I named...Rudy! If you put your mouse under him he'll act like he's jumping off of it-and if you click his little Christmas Tree Cookie, he'll chase it!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><span style="color:#33cc00;">All of these things I got from </span><a href="http://www.pyzam.com/"><span style="color:#ff0000;">www.pyzam.com</span></a><span style="color:#33cc00;">!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:#ff0000;">~Enjoy!</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3446782908515596963.post-48536614451532247762008-12-12T17:25:00.007-05:002008-12-12T21:16:00.206-05:00<span style="font-family:times new roman;color:#ff0000;">Sorry...I keep getting bored with nothing to say on my blog.

I love getting comments, but they don't just have to be what you like [or, but hopefully not, what you don't like]. They can be suggestions or ideas...I'm open to anything!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff0000;">Thanks</span>Karina Beanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12843863219464326662noreply@blogger.com1
