My American Girl

Exciting News!

2012-01-27T17:53:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! I have some exciting reports...

So, this one you might already know. I won...

I HEART AMERICAN GIRL'S CONTEST!!!!

Yayness!

Here's what she posted:
Our first grand prize winner is Emma with Georgiana! I loved her creative story and the fact that she comes with a best friend! Contact me to claim your prize of theMinneapolis AG Place T-Shirt!

And one of my very good blogger friends won 2nd, and that's Priya!! I was so excited for her. This is her AMAZING entry ( a personal fave, although they were all great):

Meera McCarthy is 10-year-old girl living in Charlottesville, Virginia. She takes Indian dance lessons with her best friend, Asha Patel. While the dancers are preparing for a performance, Asha takes a fall that leaves her with a broken leg, which makes her unable to perform with the other girls. As the star dancer, Meera knows that she must lead the other girls in the performance to be able to perform without Asha next week. Leela Singh, a bossy dancer, pressures Meera and she loses her courage to lead. Will Meera be able to find the strength to lead the girls? Find out in Meera and Dance Away, Meera.

Amazing, right? So, anyway, be sure to congratulate her. :)

So, soon a new, adorable, tee shirt will be arriving soon for all my dolls to enjoy.

And about all my dolls...

There will be an addition to the circle of friendship soon!

Can you guess who???

Mwa ha ha ha ha, I am set on being mysterious, aren't I???

Love,

Vote For Me!

2012-01-23T15:23:00.000-08:00

Yay! So wintry. Or winteree. Or wintirey. Whatever.

So, again, please vote for me! I hope I don't sound, like, petty or urging like this but it would seriously mean a lot.

Love, Emma!

My Doll Room Closet

2012-01-17T17:42:00.000-08:00

Hey! So this weekend I was working on a really big project I am so excited to share with you. I transformed all this empty space in my closet into doll rooms! I am really proud of them. :D I hope you like them too!

Yay! So fantabulous!!! (I love that word...)

So, This is the bedroom (more like a scene than a real room as there are 3 dolls and 1 bed)

The wall! Familiar picture up, huh?

Ah, the library. I made the shelf out of a box, made shelves out of cardboard pieces, printed out pics of AG books and VOILA! You have a bookshelf. The library sign is sloppy, naturally, since I wrote it...

Close up.

The classroom! Super cluttered, as a classroom ought to be, and a cruddy substitute for a desk, as I don't have a doll one (yet).

Posters!

More wall stuffs.

And even more!

The bathroom! A necessary room, eh?

(Sorry for blurriness)

And, my personal fave, the dance studio!! The ballet bar is actually one of those bars that you hang hangers on, I just moved it down a lot. (And don't worry, the one I moved was empty; my other one has the hangers on it)

So cute!

The kitchen/dining room. The little boxes stacked behind the table hold all the doll food and teeny kitchen stuff.

The table settings!

These pics don't do the setup justice, as they are super awesome in real life. Maybe I'll make a video sometime....

Hope you like it as much as I do! What is your favorite room? Do you have a separate space for a room(s) for your dolls?

Love always,

My Awesome New Dress I Made!

2012-01-12T17:19:00.000-08:00

So I made this cute little dress w/ my mom! It's so cute right?

P.S. All these pictures are unedited and straight outta the camera!!

Love,

Emma

Gabby's Dream Girl of the Year 2013 Contest!

2012-01-03T18:18:00.000-08:00

With my parent's permission, I'm entering I Heart American Girl's GOTY contest.

So here goes:

Georgiana

Living in Pocatello, ID Georgiana Compton is a really avid reader and skier. She loves the feel of flying down the hill, letting the skiis swerve with her. When a new family moves in, Georgiana is excited at the chance of making a new friend. When she meets the new girl Evelyn Fraye, she's really disappointed. (Read about her in the paragraph below) They are complete opposites! Evelyn is naturally pretty, smart and shy. Georgiana doesn't try to make friends, but when Evelyn saves her from the biggest mistake of her life, she realizes that Evelyn is the ideal friend. Read about her in her 2 books, Georgiana and Georgiana Leaps High!

Evelyn

Evelyn Fraye is a shy girl, not sure when she should come out of her shell. Both her parents died, and she moved to Pocatello to be adopted. When she sees Georgiana, she immediatly likes her. Evelyn isn't great at making friends because of her shy nature, though. When Georgiana could make a serious mistake, she realizes, whether this girl wants to be her friend or not, she needs to warn her.

What do you think? What's your dream Girl of the Year?

70 Followers and Happy 2012!

2012-01-01T17:30:00.000-08:00

Hey! Many Thanks to all my 70 followers!! :D This is also my 1st post of 2012!

Fun, eh?

Anyway, here's some stuff I hope gets done this year:

I go the the AG Place to buy a doll or big item
Start an Etsy shop
Make a real, full length doll play/ movie
Take more pics!

Hopefully stuff gets checked off that list.

I have been devising plans to earn money to buy a Lanie doll off eBay (They vary from 145-175$ w/ shipping) sometime this year. I have about 110 dollars. Any suggestions for how to raise money that's realistic? (I'm probably not going to organize a city wide talent show soon.... :D)

Thanks so much for being awesome, guys!!

Heres some pics of McKenna!!!

Yay! So fun. :D

Oh, and by the way, I'm not sure when the French Show will air, the people who I saw are going to tell me when. No, I'm not getting paid (One of you asked that) and that totally fine with me. :D

Thanks for all the love and support and tell me how you liked how I re-arranged stuff!

(Tell me at least 3 things you noticed are different)

Love to all and Happy New Year,

Hey, Just Wondering

2011-12-31T16:49:00.001-08:00

Real quick, would any of you guys be interested and/or buy a handmade special occasion dress, dress for Kaya or a Bed Set? If not, what would you buy and for what price?

---Emma

LANIE!!!

2011-12-28T18:16:00.000-08:00

Alright folks! I have decided to see if I can pick up Lanie!! :) Here's pics the seller on Craigslist posted. ( I DID NOT TAKE THESE)

(I'm not buying the dog, BTW :D He's sold separately)

She doesn't come w/ the meet outfit and her hair needs some TLC, but I'm really excited!

Cross your fingers for me that this works out...

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

If anyone sees a good deal on Lanie's meet outfit on eBay and such, let me know! I adored that outfit. :)

Anywho, lets hope we have a new addition to our AG household soon...

Okay... Down To The Last Two

2011-12-27T10:17:00.000-08:00

Alright...I have canceled out A custom MAG, and have another contender in the voting. (Thanks guys for your votes in my polls) I found a Lanie on Craigslist in actually pretty good condition for 55 dollars. Tempting. So, guys, tell me. Ruthie or Lanie???

Lanie or:

Ruthie??

Aaaaaaahhhhhh! So hard!!!

Thanks!

Dolls I Am Debating Over

2011-12-21T10:02:00.000-08:00

OK, so I an pretty close do being able to buy and AG doll, and I'm not sure which one:

She would be Ruth (Ruthie) Elaine Smithens.

OR:

I could customize this doll by adding freckles, so she'd look like this:

And there you have it, a Delaney Piper Fraye.

So, advice, comments, thoughts?

Thanks so much,

McKenna Doll Picture!

2011-12-20T19:05:00.000-08:00

From DollDiaries.com I found a pic of McKenna in doll form!

Cool, huh??
Well. Hm. I was expecting something a bit different.
Honestly I think she looks to much like Marie-Grace and #39.

See the similarities?
Oh, well. :)

I still think she looks fun, and can't wait to see her background story on Jan. 1st!

What do you think? Do you like her?

McKenna!

Okay, it's official, GOTY 2012 will be a gymnast named McKenna!Yay! And she's a blonde!! Double yay!! Here's her pic:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Here's the book summaries:

McKenna – Girl of the Year 2012 Book 1 (American Girl Today) by Mary Casanova – Seattle fourth-grader McKenna Brooks, who lives for gymnastics, struggles with school work until Josie, a tutor confined to a wheelchair, helps her with reading comprehension and much more. (Library of Congress summary)
McKenna, Ready to Fly – Girl of the Year 2012 Book 2 (American Girl Today)by Mary Casanova – When Seattle fourth-grader McKenna Brooks’ cast comes off she dives back into gymnastics training in hopes of making the competitive team, but after volunteering at a therapeutic horseback riding center, she considers broadening her interests.

Well, I've been let down a bit. This concerns my big surprise, but there is still a part to it I can't wait to share! I am still very excited when you will see this awesome surprise! Just a BIG part of it isn't going to work out. I was a bit disappointed when a big part of my surprise for you guys didn't go how I'd hoped. I feel really un-energized, so sorry for the short post. I DID take some Christmas pics of the dollies, but they are on the other computer in our house, which I am not currently on. :{ Oh, well.

And this is six bucks!

(THIS IS NOT ON SALE I JUST REALLY WANT THIS)

Still $36, NOT ON SALE

They didn't have as much as they did last year, so I was a tad disappointed. They also didn't bring back some stuff of past GOTY. which I was hoping for. :( Oh, well!

I am so excited! I can't wait to order! Be sure to check the stuff out at http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/html/thumbnail/id/1658/uid/893

Happy shopping!

Happy Thanksgiving!! :)

2011-11-24T16:52:00.000-08:00

Have a super fantabulous- extra extraordinary and magical Thanksgiving. I wish I could have some new pictures up, but I a currently vacationing out-of-town so I'll just post some other ones instead!

Yay! Now for some funny cartoons:

He he! Hope you got some laughs.

Now I am going to list 10 things I am thankful for!!

1. Happy Memories. They give me something to look back on when I'm sad

2. Technology. Where would we be without it?

3. Books. For an avid reader like me, taking away books would be like taking away a dog's chew toy.

4. Family. They guide me, make me laugh, cry with me, love me even though I'm anything but perfect.

5. Friends. Amazing people like you! I can't say how much friends mean to me

6. Education. Helps me get on my feet to have a bright future. It seems like a drag sometimes, but it really is great

7. Living in America. It's a wonderful, and free country. I'm lucky to be in this great country.

8. My Blog and my absolutely amazing readers. Holy cow. I have no idea where to start. This blog lets me express my feelings and you listen. I can be myself and you embrace me. I love love love love times a million MAG and it's fabulous readers and Followers. (PS Thanks my 2 new followers! This marks 61!!!!!! :D)

9. Smiles. Who doesn't want one on an off day?

10. My religion. Helps me figure out where I stand, how I should act and gives me great values. Thank you Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break with lots of Love From,

P.S. This is a REALLY fun link for some turkey fun!

Picture Fest

2011-11-06T12:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, people. I had 1 person join my picture fest. Thanks, Priya, for being the only one who joined. I'm going to extend the deadline to Nov. 17th, so more can join! Please, I beg you, join! :) It would make me very happy.

You are all my friends here, and I have something to tell you. You know that movie I was hoping to be in? Well, I got called in, but couldn't go that week because my Dad was away on business, and my mom would have to come with me to the shoot, right? So, who would watch my siblings? So, I never ended up going. I can't say I'm not disappointed. I really, truly, and honestly feel so let down. I had my hopes up high, dreaming of going. But that was the way it was meant to be, and I'm not going to spend my entire life hiding in a box because one thing didn't go my way. I know life will be full of disappointments, and this is just one of the many to come. So hopefully there might be another opportunity coming my way, but if not I'll just move on. But I still am really disappointed and sad. But God just has other ideas, so I'll just roll with the punches. Thanks for listening to my rant. :)

Have a great day,

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-29T14:41:00.000-07:00

Have a great Halloween weekend, everyone! Eat a piece of candy for me. :)

Hope your Halloween is full of no tricks and all treats,

Katie's Doll Tag! (By Mia)

2011-10-24T18:33:00.000-07:00

Hey! It's Mia, and I'm doing Katie's Doll Tag. I'm also letting you know, Chrissa, that I'm rooting for you to get a blog! :) And Emma would also like you to have one.

1. My favorite movie is probably "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". Loving the action!

2. My fave book is the Harry Potter books, specifically number 7.

3. My favorite store is (duh!) the AG Store Los Angeles.

4. My favorite food is my mom's pot roast. So yummy!

5. My favorite dessert is cinnamon buns. With extra glaze!! (Is your mouth watering yet??)

6. My favorite outfit is a jean jacket, a cream colored t-shirt and a cute polkadot skirt!

7. I don't really watch a lot of TV, but I do like to watch some old fashioned mini series with my mom, like "Pride and Prejudice (The 1995 mini series)" and "Wives and Daughters". They are NOT old lady shows!! They are quite fun, actually. :) I'm a nerd, I know!!!

I Tag Chloe, Phoebe, and Liddy!

Yours,

~~Mia~~

With a little help from-

My Fest Pictures!

2011-10-23T18:15:00.000-07:00

Yay! Enjoy:
(Some might be sideways, just to warn you)

Actually, this isn't Mia's costume. The pants are what I got at the AG Place Los Angeles. :)

Felicity as a fairy! Remember the costume? :)

I am so proud of that hairstyle! Can you spot my foot?

Presenting Princess Mia! :) (And no, not Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo from "Princess Diaries". Just so you know. :D)

Another shot of her majesty.

Emily The Rockstar!! :)

Hope you liked them! And don't forget to enter your self! The deadline is Nov. 1st.

Yours,

Like the new siggy I made?

Our First Entries for the Fest!

2011-10-20T20:15:00.001-07:00

Priya Has put in her entries for the Fest! Yay! Thanks for being the first, Priya. I'm sorry that I haven't got mine yet,but I was planning on taking mine today. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Mother Nature didn't quite agree with me and so here I am with no pics. :( I'm sure tomorrow will be better, though!

Here are the First Entries by Priya:

Sorry that they uploaded sideways!!! Curse you Blogger Uploading...

Thanks for reading guys!

My Wishlist

2011-10-14T19:54:00.000-07:00

These are just some of the things that I'm thinking on getting. Thoughts, opinions and comments welcome!!!

Just cute. This is just sooooo cute.

This is extremely pretty! I love the colors.

This is such and adorable set! Everything is so cute and tiny.=)

\
I'm thinking these being Emily's new glasses...

So casual and love the jeans!

I've always wanted a doll watch and this one is just so fun!

I love how classy this coat is!!!!!

Another thing I want is a blonde doll. I think it's kinda sad that I don't have a SINGLE BLONDE DOLL. Now, the doll's hair is kinda important to me, and I read the reviews on the 2 MAG blondies. They both apparently have not-so-great hair. I have also checked out the historicals that have blonde hair, but (with no purposeful offence) none of them really pop out at me. I'm thinking I'm gonna wait until GOTY 2012 come out. This is what I really want:

Green Eyes

Blonde Julie Length Hair

Freckles

Cute, right? :)

So anyway, that concludes this post today.

Halloween Picture Stuff

2011-10-13T17:30:00.000-07:00

SO sorry that it took so long. Well, it's actually October now so I guess that it's good to be doing the Halloween stuff. So this is kinda like the video fest, only this is pictures! So the theme has to be, you guessed it, HALLOWEEN. So just snap a random amount of pictures that have to do with Halloween, comment to tell me you joined, and Voila! You just entered MAG's Picture Fest. So just have fun and staaaaaaaaaaaaaaart FESTING!!!

So, I FINALLY found the battery charger for my camera, so I'll be taking some pictures now. YEEEES! The charger was missing for about a whole stinkin' MONTH, and I am so so so relived that it hasn't been lost...FOREVER!! :)

Ha ha!!! :D :D Yeah, Life's good.

I have some money, too, so I'm thinking on buying a new AG outfit. Any recommendations? Thanks!!

This blog SHALL be updated!! I swear it upon my life! (Sorry for going all medieval on you all) But I feel so bad for it being so long in between posts. It seem all my posts lately have been apologies... MAN! I really need to step up my game.

Happy Birthday to Me. :)

2011-09-19T17:32:00.000-07:00

Yay! Today is my b-day. I won't say how old I am for safety reasons, but I have been anticipating this day very long. :) :) No, it's not my sweet 16, (yet) but I still am glad it's here. I haven't opened any presents yet, but once I do I will tell you guys most definitely.

I also realize that my 1 year anniversary is on it's way! It's October Something, (I will have to go into the the archives to get the actual date) and I can't wait to have this huge thing! As I have decided something else, I wish to announce it. I will be re-starting the Fests again! Remember those?? It has been, like, forever. So I have decided to re-open it up starting the 24th. The theme shall be HALLOWEEN. So yes. It's going to be a Picture Fest, so snap and click away!!!!

Catch ya later alligators,

September 11

2011-09-15T17:32:00.000-07:00

I know I'm a few days late (Darn it!) but I am dedicating this to the innocent and unknowing victims of the 9/11 attack. The people that day had started their day normally, probably kissing their kids good bye before they went to school and eating Cheerios for breakfast. Little did they know that their lives would be put in jeopardy and possibly taken. I was very little at the time, and I lived far away from New York. I was luckily unaffected by it. I still think it's unfair for little children to have to grow up confused and scared by having a family member taken or forever altered. I think it's unfair for bad people to take OUR people and OUR feeling of safety. I had a recent conversation with my 5-year-old sister about the attack. She asked "Why did the bad mans to that to us? It was mean," she came up and asked me, and I sat down with her and slowly explained the situation. She still asked "But why?" and I simply said "I don't know. It was a mean thing they did, and it hurt lots and lots, but we can do hard things and keep going! Right?" and I gave her a quick hug. It was after that sweet conversation that I realized that it wasn't America that got hurt lots and lots by the terrorists, but it was the terrorists that got hurt lots and lots. America is strong, tough, and we continued on. But it's the terrorists that will wake up and think, "What have I done to myself?" America is too strong to quit on our journey through life, and with the help of God, we can do hard things. With God, anything is possible. Don't ever give up, keep calm, carry on, and believe. Have faith that we can do it. Take courage.

God Bless The USA and let that Star Spangled Banner Forever Wave,

Gabby's Tag!

Felicity! I just adore her spunk, her dresses and her time preiod!!

13. When do you make your first AG Christmas Wishlist?

Usually right after Thanksgiving. :) I am so impatient for Christmas around then!

14. What's if your favorite line of dolls (HC, MAG, GOTY, Bitty Baby/Bitty Twin)?

Historicals! Love love love their line. It's always so exciting when a new one comes out! :)

15. Why do you like American Girl?

It's so wholesome and fun! It's a never aging thing- you can never really grow out of them. It gives you a great thing to collect and treasure, and it's a healthy obsession. :) It also gives me something to blog about- and I'm really grateful for that!!

16. What's book (series)?

Ah, there are just so many. I like the "Heroes of Olympus" series by Rick Riordan as well as Harry Potter and "The Books of Bayern" by Shannon Hale. I also adore Jane Austen books! I really like lots of books, and those are just a few that I love.

17. What's your favorite jam/jelly? Please post a picture!

Mmmmm.... I LOVE Smucker's mint jelly!

And I also love apricot jam! Mine is always homemade, so it's always extra delicious. :)

18. If you could live in any other time period but your own, what would choose?

OOOH! That's easy. I would choose choose the Colonial Times (aka Felicity's time period) or the British Regency (aka Jane Austen era), pretty much the late 1700s. Gotta love their dresses!

19. Do you drink coffee?

Nope. Never tried it, and honestly, I don't want to. I have always hated the smell and taste. Go ahead and hate me, but there it is.

20. What's your favorite TV show?

Oh, I have lots. I like Good Luck Charlie and Rookies. I have lots of other faves, but honestly I can only think of these two. :)

21. Do you think you're funny?

I do, but I'm not sure everyone else does...

22. What are your family members doing right now?

My brother is hanging out with some friends at another house, my sisters are in bed and my mom and dad are doing who knows what. And I'm typing this post. :)

23. Have ever watched a show made in a year before 2000?

Yes! I've watched The Cosby Show, Strictly Ballroom, Pride and Prejudice (1995 Version) and a few episodes of The Brady Bunch! (I Know I've watched more than that, but I'd honestly be going on forever if I named them all.)

I had an awesome sandwhich (made by yours truly), a chocolate chip cookie, water, and applesauce.

25. What's your favorite snack?

Jello!!

Hard to say. I really like Keira Knightley, Reese Witherspoon, and Emma Watson.

27. Who's your style icon (c'mon- you must have one!)?

Um, well, I don't really know. Maybe Bridgit Mendler?? I also like Emma Watson...

28. What's your favorite brand of popcorn?

29. What's your favorite blogging platform (Webs, Wet Paint etc.)?

BLOGGER!

30. Why do you like being a blogger?

Well, it's just great fun and (I think) a great way to spend your time. Plus, it also makes me seem funny and people actually listen to me, and for a girl who's not popular and doesn't have a lot of friends, it means a lot . Thank you my Blogging BFFs!!! :) Love you all, and you just make me want to blog my heart out.

Hope you liked reading about me, and I hope you don't hate me too much for my opinions... :)

Thanks for checking this out again,

Awwww she is so sweet! Love the sidebangs.

This bed is so so so awesome! I wish it was my bed... :)

This dress is gorgeous. Love the pastels!

I know I said I'd post my faves, but this coat is just so funny looking! She looks like a pampered marshmallow. :) :)

This is such a stylish outfit! I adore the boots.

American Girl Place L.A. Part Two!!!!!

2011-09-05T14:16:00.000-07:00

Love love love love Josephina's hair in this display. Like really. It's amazing!

The exlusive items!! Lots of stuff.

It is revealed. I brought Felicity!! I've never brought Felicity before, so it was her turn. I try to be fair with my dolls. :)

(Sorry it's sideways. Darn you Blogger uploads!!!)

So we went in to check out our items in the personal shopper room, and it was awesome. They had this huge tower with these AG dolls and items you could check out. Yayness!! (Felicity in the 3rd pic was in one of the tower "rooms".)

Okay, so i really think the doll holder in the bathrooms were genius.

And we went to the Cafe for the first time ever! It was so awesome.

The setup. We got to keep the pink bows!

Holy yum. The cinnamon buns were delish!

Another look at the menu

I don't really know why I took a picture of this...

More food! Are you hungry yet? :)

Ah, my lunch! Very good. I can't remember what it was called, but it was really tasty.

Another adorable display.

The end!!

I am so sorry it took so long to finally do this. And I now I didn't post what I got, but that is yet to be revealed!!!! (Mwah ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa! :D)

American Girl Place L.A. PART ONE!!!!!

2011-09-01T18:16:00.000-07:00

Yayness! Picnik.com (I use it to resize the pictures so it doesn't take an eternity to load on) keeps crashing on me so there are only a few pictures here. Sorry! So this will be PART ONE (dun dun dun :D)

The awesome fountain outside.

Josephina display!!

I ADORE the window displays.

The Hair Salon! The stylists must want to always look pretty and smile since people always take pictures of the Salon.

The minis!

This is the big board the had where MG and C's display area will go.

The other half of the board.

Well, that's all for today, folks! Sorry it was so short, but until next time just hold on and be glad I finally posted! It's been at least 3 million years, right?? ;)

Caelen made me this cute new signature!! Thanks Caelen!

HALLELUJAH!!!!

2011-08-26T15:35:00.000-07:00

The internet is in today!!!!!!!!!!! I have done so many things while it was off, I don't know where to start. I moved, (duh) and I went to...drumroll please.... American Girl Place LA!!!! It was INCREDIBLE. I have lots of pictures which will be downloaded and posted ASAP. I am so glad to be back!! I have to do so many other things to do, though, so I have to run. Sorry it was so stinking short!

Goodbye for a Month, Internet World! :'(

2011-08-01T09:06:00.000-07:00

This is my last moments on internet for a month! Just wanted to say goodbye to my friends here and say that I'm going to put the video fest on hold for the month along with all my other celebration ideas. :( I'll miss you guys so much while I'm gone, and I'll jump at the chance to post whenever I can! Miss you all again!!

Emma's Fashion Tag and Some Not So Great News

2011-07-28T09:50:00.000-07:00

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???)

~*Emma*~

My Button!

2011-07-26T16:05:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody! Today I made a blog button!! I made one before, but it was really cruddy. So I made another one with this tutorial! http://www.musingsofahousewife.com/2009/05/how-to-create-a-button-code.html

You can pick it up under "About"! :D

So if you have ever grabbed my old bad button, please please please replace it with this new one!!!!!!!!!

By one and all,

Look What Priya Made Me!

2011-07-23T17:38:00.000-07:00

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.

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???

2011-07-21T14:12:00.000-07:00

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...

2011-07-20T10:04:00.000-07:00

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,

Love from,

P.S. Thanks Krasivitsa110 for being my 47th follower! Just 3 more 'till 50!!! YAYNESS!

Has it really been that long?

2011-07-11T09:12:00.000-07:00

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!

2011-07-05T09:47:00.000-07:00

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,

Bags!

2011-07-01T11:27:00.000-07:00

From winning a contest at AGFun, I got these adorable bags!! One is for me, and I chose to have to doll one be for Mia. I absolutely ADORE them! Thanks, Girls!

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!

Sorry for lacking

2011-06-29T11:57:00.000-07:00

Sorry I have been lacking on the updates lately, but I have been major busy with my move and such. I know this post is incredibly short, but I've got to run. I hope I will be able to update more once things aren't so busy. Thanks for understanding and to my wonderful 41 followers (Wow! 41, can you believe it? Thanks to Ellibob, Miss Dreamfinder and Ava Lucia) who are faithful even when I am being neglectful.

See ya round,

Showcase of Some Random Pictures I Took.......

2011-06-24T13:25:00.000-07:00

Recently, I took some random pictures. Only about 7 of them are of dolls, though. I edited all of them on Picnik to give them a cool look. Of each section of pictures, there will be a title and a short explanation for the pictures. Hope you enjoy the showcase!

Plants:

I took the plant ones, because, well, I don't know! Plants are cool. :D

Doorknobs:

I took the doorknob ones because doorknobs are so fun to take pictures of! Especially my frond door one, which looks so vintage!

(All the ones above were my front door)

(All of the above were my bedroom door)

Dolls:

Ah, here we go! I take pictures of my dolls because I enjoy it!

(Darn you, Blogger!)

Harry Potter:

I am a HP fan, and I thought I'd pose Mia as Ginny Weasly and Felicity as Hermione Granger. As the wand, I took a wooden stick thing that goes with one of those frogs where you take the stick across it's back to make a frog noise. ;D I have a picture of Ginny and Hermione that looks like one of the pictures I took of Hermione and Felicity.

(Ah, you stinking Blogger! STOP UPLOADING MY PICTURES SIDEWAYS!)

(For this picture, I actually put a fan in front of her to make her hair fly back. Awesome, right? :D)

Sunset:
I was just hanging out yesterday evening when I realized the beatiful sunset going on outside and how, if I hurried, I could get out there to take pictures before it set.

Hope you liked the pics!

P.S. Thanks Jellybeans for being my 38th Follower!
P.P.S. Today is the final day for doing my 30 Follower Blog Party!!! Enter today if you haven't already!!!

An Overload of New Items!

2011-06-23T11:25:00.000-07:00

I got on the computer this morning to find an avalanche of new items! YAYNESS!!!

LOVE THIS GIRL!!!! She is gorgeous and I'm going ga ga over her!!! I want her even more now. :D

MAG 54 is so fun! We don't have many dolls with short blonde hair, so this is a firstie! :D She does look a whole lot like MAG 37, though.

She is very nice, but she doesn't seem very original. I seem to think there is one just like her.

Kanani's Party outfit and Accessories. They are cute, but they are pricey. But I have to say, that dress is a stunning blue. :D

Every Day Play Outfit: Is cute, but seems to formal for it's name. A dress really isn't ideal for playing...

Striped School Dress: LOVE the design of this outfit! Not beacsue it's on 55, but it is so adorable! Definitely on my list of things to get.

Fresh and fun outfit: Love the skirt! The arm warmers seem a bit weird, though.

This backpack is awesome! I for sure want to get this eventually.

Very well done! This outfit is very sporty. It's tom-boyish with a hint of girly.

This is handy, but doesn't seem worth 50 bucks.

Very nice colors! 148 dollars is still a lot for it, though. AG seems to be bumping up their prices. I hope they are bumping up the quality as well.

Campus Cheer Outfit: Very cute! I like this one better than then old one.

Soccer Outfit: Cute, but I can't say I like it more than the old one.

Chestnut Horse: Very Sweet Horse!

Stable and Supplies: Seems to have good quality. MUCH better than Felicity's, I must say.

Genie Outfit: Very very happy with this! It is cute, pretty, girly AND modest! Score, AG!

Pet Carrier- Nice, but the old version seemed better to me.

Pet Bed: Like this much better than the old version.

Raspberry Glasses: Very pretty color!

Orange Glasses: Bright color!! Very nice.

I Love Pet Earrings: CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE! Love these so much!!

I Love Sports Earrings: Very cute, but I can't picture myself or my dolls wearing them.

Silver Heels for Dolls: Very pretty and formal!

Sporty Sandals: Very sporty, as the name suggests! Nice job, AG.

Garden Boots: Holy Cow. These are the cutest thing EVER. I wish they had those for girls. ;D

Blueberry Clogs: Very cute. I love the embroidery.

YES! AG IS MAKING WATCHES!!! I love them all.

I am happy with the new releases. What do you think?

P.S. Thanks so so so much to my newest Followers Leah, My AG's Life, Aj, and Kristi! I love all of you amazing followers SO much! :D

P.P.S. I am moving VERY soon, which means that the computer will have to be packed up, so if I seem to hvae dissapeered it's because either the computer is packed or we haven't hooked it up yet in our new house. Thanks for understanding! :D

Wow, that was awhile ago.....

2011-06-21T16:29:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how long ago I took this picture of Emily!

So blurry, right? I just found this picture today when I was looking through my camera archives. She was in much better shape then she is now, though you probably can't tell through the major blurriness. :D

Have a wonderful 1st day of Summer!!! Here's a picture of a rose I took to symbolize summertime! ;D

Library Finds!

2011-06-20T16:26:00.000-07:00

At the local library, I found some cool finds! I found a "Kirsten" Audiobook there as well as a book in a series American Girl doesn't sell anymore called "Wild at Heart Pet Volunteers". They are really great- I'm not sure why they were discontinued. From my libraries "Book Nook" (where you can buy used books for a quarter) I bought the first in the series called "Fight For Life" and the checked out the 10th ,"Time to Fly". Each book is based on a different volunteer's point-of-view.

The finds! On the right is the Kirsten audiobook and on the left is "Time to Fly".

Why, Blogger, do you insist upon uploading my pictures sideways? It's really annoying. Anyway, if you turn your body, you'll find this is the back of the book. I pixelated the name of my library for security reasons, as I did with any other pictures that had shown the name.

At the end of each book is a pretend News Article, which states the events happened in the book. Sorry it's so blurry!

All the books in the series. Sorry this is blurry as well, so here is what is says:

Fight For Life Book 1: Maggie

Homeless Book 2: Sunita

Trickster Book 3: David

Manatee Blues Book 4: Brenna

Say Good Bye Book 5: Zoe

Storm Rescue Book 6: Sunita

Teacher's Pet Book 7: Maggie

Trapped Book 8: Brenna

Fear of Falling Book 9: David

(Time to Fly Book 10: Zoe)

Masks Book 11: Sunita

Race to the Finish Book 12: Maggie

All the books are by Laurie Hales Anderson.

The back of the Kirsten Audio book. I've checked out many more of them. These are the ones I know of that are in audio books:

Kirsten

Addy

Felicity

Rebecca

Kit

Kaya

Samantha

Julie

Josephina

The CDs. Each book has it's own CD. A while ago I did a post about them, but I didn't know there were more available. :D

Have you ever checked out any American Girl books or Audio Books from your library? I'd love to know!

Summer Stuff!

2011-06-20T15:51:00.000-07:00

You've probably noticed by now that I've redecorated for summer, and I hope you like the new look! I absolutely LOVE the background, if I do say so myself. Allthough I'll have to change them both again soon for the Fourth of July...... Oh, and if you haven't already, PLEASE check out Scrappin Blogs! They have awesome backgrounds. That's where I got mine! :D I also need your advice. As some of you probably know already, I will start acting in a movie this July through October. I don't know how many days they will need me for, but I get payed 100 dollars each day I act. They might need me for 1 day or even 10 days! I don't know for sure yet. I am hoping that with my earnings I can buy a new doll or dolls. I have some ideas, and I know it's probably early for this, that I want you to tell me your top 2 favorites. In each choice I have the the picture of it below. Ready? Okay, here they are:

1. MAG 55 ( The one on the right on the top row)

2. MAG 27

3. Marie-Grace (When she comes out)

4. MAG 49

6. Julie

So there you have it! :D I know it's a lot, and I also want to get a nice camera. Preferably this one or this one, which costs quite a bit.

Thanks for your opinion!

New AG Items and Happy Father's Day!!!!!!!!!

2011-06-19T16:11:00.000-07:00

At DollDiaries they introduced some brand new items not even on the AG website yet!!

(All photos belong to Doll Diaries- NOT me!!)

Kanani’s Party Dress is a pretty blue velour burn out skirt with silver embroidery. It comes with silver shoes and a braided silver headband.

My AG Doll- It looks like #37 only with brown eyes and no freckles. She looks SO cute!

My AG Dolls: #54 and #55. I LOOOOOOVE #55!!! She looks so pretty. She has curly balck hair, freckels, light skin, and hazel eyes. Now it's a debate between #27, Marie-Grace and #55.

Bitty Baby- Red haired Bitty!! Love it. She is precious!

Have a great Father's Day as well! Here are some American Girl Character and their dads and grandfathers:

Samantha and her Uncle Guard, the closest person to her Father. (Her father had been killed)

Denim and Dots Outfit Review

2011-06-15T20:35:00.000-07:00

Ruth at My 18 Inch Doll had given me a free outfit from her store in exchange for a review of it. She let me pick which outfit I'd like to recive and review, and I chose the Denim and Dots outfit! Here's my review of the outfit:

The Hat:

It is very cute! It fits nicely on the head and the pom-pom ontop adds a nice touch.

Grade: A

The Shirt:

It's a nice yellow color and is stretchable and easy to get on. It has velcro on the back.

Grade: A

The Jacket:

LOVE this jacket! It is adorable; I've never seen anything like it! It's easy to get on and off, and matches any outfit!

Grade: A+!

The Skirt:

It was a bit of a struggle to get on. I'm not sure if it was because it was new and unused, or because the waistline was too tight. But once on, it was cute! I love the pleats.

Grade: B+

Overall:

It is a very stunning outfit! It's a very high-quality outfit and I'm very impressed. I do wish it came with shoes, though, shoes would have really completed the outfit! Everything together really makes a fashion statement! :D It's a wonderful addition to my doll outfit collection, and I highly reccommend it. My 18 Inch Doll has some great outfits and furniture- you should really take a look!

Overall Grade: A

I hope you enjoyed the review, and you should really take a look at their website and Facebook page!

How To Curl an AG Doll's Hair and Belated B-day wishes!

2011-06-15T15:59:00.000-07:00

First of all, I wish a very happy belated birthday to Ivy from American Girl Stuff and More!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Ivvvvvvyyyyyyy
Happy Birthday to you!

I'm so sorry I missed it yesterday, and I hope your day was wonderful! Now, blow out the candles and make a wish!

And now for the curls! :D

And instead of the regular kind of curlers you would use, I'll show you how to use rag curls.

This is a rag curler. It's simply a peice of fabric cut into a inch-wide strip. You can use any fabric, there isn't any specific type.

First, comb your doll's hair, then mist it with water WHILE COVERING HER EYES WITH YOUR HAND!!!! This is important because if her eyes get wet, they can rust.

Then, take the rag curler and wrap her hair around it like shown above.

To tie it off, take the two ends and knot them in a loose (but not too loose! You want to be able to take it out. :D)

When you are finished, all of the hair or the amount of hair you want curled should be in rag curls. The awesome things about rag curlers is that if you run out you can always just cut up more strips! :D

When you want to take them out, just undo the knot and hold the rag curler vertically and pull down.

Hope you have fun curling your doll's hair!

I Am Very Mad At Myself.

2011-06-13T08:58:00.000-07:00

SOOOOOOO sorry for not posting any pictures when I said I would an just being a bad blogger all-around! My day just got so busy all of a sudden and I couldn't find time. Sorry again for being so neglectful. I will try really hard during the summer to post a lot. I will PROMISE (please trust me this time) to do some contests, photo-stories and some Guessing Time rounds. Bear with me, please, and I will try to be better.

American Girl Stuff and More Blog Party!

2011-06-11T11:58:00.000-07:00

American Girl Stuff and More is is having a blog party for their 100th post, and I am going to join!!

1. What are your plans for this summer?
Well, I will be moving this summer. (Sniffles) Probably the worst summer activity EVER. But I am also going to a family reunion and then I'll start shooting for my movie. I'll probably also make a few trips to the library and some other stuff, too.

2. What's your favorite color?
PURPLE!!!!!!!

3. Ice Cream or Cookie?
Ice cream.

4. How many dolls do you have?
3 dolls, Emily (a JLY), Felicity, and Mia. Hopefully I will get another one soon!

5. Would you rather have a landscaped front yard and horrible backyard, or a horrible front yard and landscaped back yard?
Umm... hmm... well, I don't know. Probably a landscaped backyard and a horrible front, because I usually spend more time in the backyard. But the again, the front yard is the thing that everyone sees first. But I'm going to have to say a horrible front and landscaped back. :D

Be sure to join in, too, and I can' wait to see what you answer!

P.S. Stay tuned for some pictures today!! ;D

Summer Vacation (Finally!!) By Mia, Emily, and Felicity

2011-06-10T17:36:00.000-07:00

Hey, it's the MAG gang! (AKA Mia, Felicity, Emily) We all wanted to post, so we are all going to type whatever comes to mind. We'll put our names in front of whatever we write. Let us begin!

Felicity: Yesterday was the last day of school!
Mia: Yeah, it felt like forever!
Emily: I slept in sooo late this morning, until 9:15!
Mia: Yeah, Emily's the real heavy sleeper.
Felicity: I just woke up early and watched TV and stuff
Mia: Enough about sleeping! That's boring!!
Emily: Well, what else IS there to talk about?
Mia: What about...um......I see your point.
Felicity: What about our plans for the summer?
Mia: OOH! OOH! I am going to my grandpa's farm in Missouri and my Aunt Nicole's apartment in New York!! It will be experiencing two different worlds. One my mode of transpiration will be a horse and in the other a cab! And Missouri is so peaceful while NY is so hectic!
Felicity: That sounds SO cool. I'm not sure what I'll be doing. Probably whatever comes up, I suppose.
Emily: I'm going to New Jersey again to visit family and such. I LOVE New Jersey so so so so much! I always go to this one Pizza Place that has this AWESOME pizza, and I....
Felicity: EMILY!! Stop talking about the amazing stuff you'll do when I'll be home probably doing laundry or something mega boring like that.
Emily: Sorry, I'm just so excited. But don't you go to that plantation in Virginia that used to belong to your Grandfather?
Felicity: OH, YEAH!!! I totally forgot about that!! I wonder when I'll be going.....
Emily: Hey, Mimi? What's your favorite fruit to eat in summer? Mine is DEFINITELY cantaloupe.
Mia: Mine is grapes. It's so fun to strip off the skin and freak out everyone with the freakishness and texture.
Emily: Hey, Liss, what about you?
Felicity: Totally watermelon. Last year, at our family reunion picnic, I held the record at eating 19 and a half slices.
Mia: 19 and a half? Did you keep it all down?
Felicity: Yep. Though I didn't eat anything else the whole day.
Emily: Talk about devotion to watermelon.
Mia: Well, I gotta go. See ya guys later!
Emily and Felicity: See you, Mia!

Hello, All!!

2011-06-09T16:16:00.000-07:00

HI!!!! I am so excited because it is officially summer for me! (I got out of school today) Sorry no pictures today, but I have been very busy (as I have said many times before. :D) as of late, but I have a very free schedule now so there should be a surplus of pictures and posts!! Hope you are having a great day, and I am undergoing some changes currently, so just bear with me. I am trying to make my sidebar a little less cluttered, so PLEASE don't be offended if I remove your blog button or anything. It just looks so messy with so many things on it. Thank you for reading and all your positive comments. I really appreciate it! ;)

P.S. Ciao! Si tratta di Emma. Ragazzi sapete quale lingua, questo è in e quello che sto dicendo?

Whoever gets it wins bragging rights! Ha ha ha ha. ;)

Remember When.....

2011-06-08T20:14:00.000-07:00

I used to update frequently? That seems like it never happens very much anymore......

Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've been very busy as this is the last week of school for me. Tomorrow is my last day!!! That means more posts and pics and all that good stuff. Hope you are having a great week and I promise I'll try to update more frequently. When do you get out of school? (I'm not trying to major creep-o lady, but I'm just curious about when summer begins for you all.)

Oh, and here's the new Josephina doll for June!! I didn't realize she was out until today.

Have a great day!!

Priya's Guess-o-Rama!

2011-06-07T15:22:00.000-07:00

For All You Disney Fans

2011-06-06T19:17:00.000-07:00

Today I made all the Disney Princesses as edited dolls! :D Enjoy! (Including the Rapunzel and Belle I made earlier)

(Haircut Rapunzel)

I know some of them aren't very authentic, but it's the best I could do with my clumsy painting hands. :D

I'm Back!

2011-06-04T13:26:00.000-07:00

I'm back from my camp out! Sorry, but I didn't bring a doll because I didn't want them to get dirty, sticky, wet, etc. And I forgot my camera! Boo hoo. :'( But enough Sally Sob-Stories! Today I am also going to a pool party, so that should be fun. I have some real writer's blog currently, but I was just in a blogging mood. But here's some random things about me right now:

My hair is in braids
I am wearing a green shirt
I am wearing jean shorts
I just finished my shower

Well, there you go! Have a wonderful day y'all!

Oh, yeah, and I also made this Rapunzel edited doll!

I am fully aware of how ugly she looks, but I LOVE the movie tangled and it just seemed like fun to make a Rapunzel AG doll. :D

And while I was making Disney Princesses, I also made Belle!

Kinda Random Stuff

2011-06-03T17:11:00.000-07:00

I'm about to go on a campout, but while I was waiting I made some doll versions of my friends (and my sisters).

He he he he! Edited dolls are SO fun! :D If you want one, just say the word!!!

Felicity and the music

2011-06-01T17:37:00.000-07:00

Enjoy.
Sorry it took so long, I've been trying FOREVER to put it on here and in the end put it onto my dad's YouTube account and linked it back to here. Thanks for being so patient and helpful! :D

How did you like the video? Have you ever made any videos of your dolls?

(And I did post this today, I just saved it yesterday so it looks like I posted it yesterday. ;D)

Photo-shoot with my little sisters!

2011-05-31T15:53:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, I took my little sisters outside to do a small photo-shoot with them. I know this isn't AG related, but they are they are both wearing AG dresses! :D I edited a few of the pictures of www.picnik.com.

This is my little sister Sabrina.

I LOVE this picture sooooo much! She looks like a girl (well duh, she is a girl!) really focusing on something or in a dreamy state.

Another one I like for the same reason.

This is my sister Hannah.

She totally looks like she's asleep enjoying the peace and quiet! :D Agreed?

In this one she looks like she's focusing on an animal or bird or something. She looks like she's really focusing. :D

The two models!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures! I enjoyed taking them! Thought I'm not sure Hannah and Sabrina enjoyed posing too much for so long...... :D They were very excited to be on my blog, though!

Do you have any siblings? (I'm not trying to be major creep-o lady, I'm just curious! :D)

P.S. Rachel-Doll Girl won this round of Guessing Time! Give her a big round of applause everyone! She guessed the Volleyball outfit. I'm not buying it, I just picked it to be the guessing item. E-mail me Rachel at emma(dot)myamericangirl(at)gmail(dot)com for your award! :D Congrats!
