My name is Kara Haupt and I'm 17 years old. I live in a blue house too far away from the ocean and I have yet to decide what color my eyes are.
I've been homeschooled my entire life, but take classes at a high school half of the time. I like being dual enrolled, the best of both worlds.
I have three siblings, a Mama and a Papa, and two very pissy kitties. I grew up on public television, doing schoolwork on my kitchen table, playing make believe for hours in my backyard, and believing that Halloween was Satan's holiday.
I've been scrapbooking/artjournaling, whatever, since I was 11ish. More intensely since I was 15. I got a digital SLR when I was 15 and have been obsessed with photography since. I've been writing this blog since May of 2007. Reading my archives is a scary task and I don't recommend it.
I'm a little frightened to grow up, I love spending time with my friends and holding hands with cute boys. I like documentaries, black nail polish, thrift stores, watercolors, rain, and green grass.
I love God. I try to glorify Him in all that I do. I believe these not because I've grown up in that or because I've been blessed my magical, warm fuzzies. I believe because I see the reflection of God in the day-to-day and because I know there is something greater than me. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins. I don't think faith is a feeling. God isn't a formula. Those three things were the hardest things I've ever had to learn. Ask me about that sometime.
I go on emo rants sometimes and am much too introspective for my own good. I want to be a photographer, mama, and artist when I grow up. I'm not good at letting go and summer skies are one of my most favorite things.
I've been blessed to work for Hambly Screenprints and I'm ecstatic to be a part of two amazing challenge blogs, The Art is Found and Work Your Soul.
Links to places you can find me are over there to your left.
I read a lot of blogs and I also eat way too much fast food and rarely redye my roots until they really bad.
I love hearing from you, so if you have a specific question or just want to say hi, email me! Thank you for reading! :D

I love people's 'about me's. (except writing my own, which never gets done)
I use an anonymous surfer to read the TypePad blogs, but it doesn't allow logging in/commenting, which is the only frustrating part.
I like your relationship with God and His Son. Important!
I am having a giveaway on my blog {hillamcasa.blogspot.com}. please come enter!!
I liked this post. I have been reading your blog for a little while now and really enjoy it. I was also homeschooled back in the day and am a Christian. Thanks for all the beautiful inspiration. :-)
P.S. I didn't know you were homeschooled til now - I'll be a homeschool graduate in a few weeks!
me likey
You have been a blessing today! God is good all the time, and it's great to see his work thru you.
Dear Kara,
You have much more wisdom already than most people wind up with in their entire life. May God continue to bless you, and keep up the good work on your blog! :-)
Just signed up for your Music Comp art journal class so I wanted to read your bio---VERY COOL!!! I've been thinking about homeschooling my kids when they are old enough (now ages 4 and 1). It's always encouraging to "meet" a homeschooler like yourself who seems to love God, love life, love learning and creating, and is culturally relevant. You give me hope : )
