Emma's Fashion Tag and Some Not So Great News

Emma W. Tagged me with her fashion tag! I am actually still in my pajama's right now, but I already have what I'm going to wear picked out. I'm going to wear jean capri's and a grey shirt with silver beads and sparkles embellished along the top. My favorite part of that outfit is the shirt! I love all the beads and sparkles. :D Thanks Emma! I tag Priya, Spicemuffin and Phoebe.

As for the bad news, as you all know I am in the middle of moving. While we are looking for a house we have been temporarily staying in an apartment. We recently found a house, so we'll be moving in this Monday. The apartment has had Wi-Fi, so everything has been okay. But someone isn't coming to install our Wi-Fi in our new house until AUGUST 26. That's basically a whole month. D: No Wi-Fi for a month means no posts or e-mail for a month. I might be able to use library computers for sometimes, but I just wanted to let you know posts will be scarce in the month of August. The reason it will be so long is because the company is really backed up with Wi-Fi hookup appointments. If there is an opening before the 26th they said they could try to squeeze us in, but I doubt there will be an opening.

Thanks everyone!

(The internet is super slow to load here currently, so I'm going to hold on the signature. Internet, why must you be so complicated???)

Look What Priya Made Me!

Priya was so sweet to make me this amazing award on her website. I love it! I already added it to my "My Awards" page.

Picture

And here's what she wrote as well:
Reason: Emma's blog, MAG, was the one that really inspired me to build this site. I'm sure her blog has inspired many others too! Congrats Emma, and thank you SO much! 


No, thank YOU so much, Priya! I'm so glad that you like my site, and I feel so happy that I inspired you to make yours! And be sure to check out her totally amazing website, AG Playground. I love reading it, and she is so nice! It's totally worth taking a look at. :D 


Thanks again Priya, for being such a sweet friend. 


Love from,

P.S. Many thanks to my new followers, Khairul and Crazy Doll Lady. Love you all! 
P.P.S. Please enter my Video fest! You still have 2 weeks, but I don't have any entries yet. D: Thank you!

Oh. My. Goodness. Am I dreaming???

Wow. I am stunned. Do I actually have 50 followers?? Thanks a million Anne and Sherry for making my day!

Well, I am going to keep my promise and show you all what I have planned for this celebration of happiness! I will be hosting several fests. The first fest that will be held is the video fest. Lets explain things a bit:

1. To enter, you must make a video of your doll, you, or whatever you like.
2. You must post your video on your blog, Youtube, or e-mail it to me.
3. All participants get this cute banner I made!
4. There isn't any real prize for entering, other than the fact that there is a huge celebration you get to be part of.
5. You must have fun. Or else your disqualified. ;D
6. Entries are due in two weeks. Specifically August 4, correct me if I'm wrong.
 7. You don't have to make a new video. It can be a video you've made awhile ago that you really like. But if you would like to make a new one, by all means go ahead.
8. You can make as many videos as you want!!
9. Parent Permission would be great, but it isn't necessary to enter.

Any questions? If so, comment or e-mail them to me.

So here's the banner for entering:

Cute, right? Since it's celebrating 50 followers, this fest will last for 50 days.  Makes sense, right? 

Since whenever I say I'll post something later, I pretty much never end up posting when I say I will, so I'm going to post my video now. I'm guessing the majority of you all have already seen this video, but at the moment I am unable to create a video. So here it is, Felicity and the Music!!


(Tell me if there is any problem in viewing the video. If there is, here's the link to the post where it seemed to be working fine: http://myamericangirl.blogspot.com/2011/06/felicity-and-music.html Thank you!)\

Ha ha ha, I know how cheesy it is. Oh, well, maybe I'll make another. :D 

I hope you enter, and I can't wait to see your videos!!

I Think I'm Finally Done...

I think I'm finally done the redecorating now, and I think the effort was worth it. How about you? It took awhile, but I think it's a winning look.  I really don't have a while lot to say, but just wanted to say that the makeover was finally finished. Thanks for all your nice comments and upbringing words! I'm glad you had liked it so far, but I really want to know what you think of the finished product.

Love from,







P.S. Thanks Korianne for being my 48th follower! I just need two more to have 50, and I would really appreciate it if you would follow. I will have an extra special surprise when I reach 50 followers! :D

Has it really been that long?

It seems the majority of my posts lately are apologies for not updating. I've really been wanting to update more than I have, I'm so sorry to be doing so bad. I have taken some pictures I've been meaning to post, just haven't gotten around to uploading them. This morning I made a few updates, in case you haven't noticed. I have a new Favicon! Like it? Blogger has a new option where you can put in your own Favicon, which I think is pretty awesome.  Mine has my doll hands picture I took in a photo-story a while ago.I also changed back my background to flip-flops again, being the 4th is over. :D
I am going to make it my goal today to upload and possibly post them. And I cannot belive I have 46 followers! Thanks to Mimi, Angelcake12, AG Queen and Emmie's Edition for being my newest followers. I love every single one of you amazing 46 followers! It's crazy to think I just started last October, and I already have 46 wonderful, awesome, sweet followers!

Love from,

Happy 4th!

Sorry for not posting this on the 4th, but I was so busy! We had to drive for a while to go visit some friends and swim and whatever, and we stayed there for nearly 5 HOURS. But it was crazy fun. :D Then we drove home (and we got home pretty late) and I collapsed into bed. We saw some pretty awesome fireworks on the drive home. I also heard all these police sirens and firetrucks, and I thought that even though we celebrate them, they still don't take a break. Thank you so much guys! :D I hope you had a terrific Independence Day, I know I sure did! I'm going to post pics of my new apartment soon, once I figure out how to upload pictures onto my dad's laptop. ;D







Love to you all,

This is Mia's....


And this is mine!





Thanks again, Hannah and Emma!


Also, as of late, I am obessed with Jane Austen. Like REALLY obsessed. Last night I watched "Pride and Prejudice" (The one with Keira Knightley) and LOVED it.  And this morning, I watched "Emma". And currently, I am in the middle of "Sense and Sensiblity". It's a Jane Austen marathon! :D

Pride and Prejudice


Emma


Sense and Sensibility

I hope to see all of the Jane Austen movies! I really do enjoy my regency.... :D

Do you like Jane Austen books and movies? I know I sure do! My favorite has to be the Keira Knightley version of "Pride and Prejudice". It's my all-time favorite movie!!

P.S. Thanks Ailia for being my 42nd Follower!
