Crazy Weather!!

Weather's been weird lately. One day, you feel Spring's on it's way, but then an hour later, it hailing and raining like nuts. It started hailing just last night, and I got some pictures of Mia outside in the action.

Mia's supposed to be blurry, I just wanted the hail in the background to show more. Can you see the white things on the ground in the background? That's the hail! It WAS hailing hard, but it toned down a bit by the time I got out there.

The hail stopped by now, and some BIG puddles formed with all the rain and hail.

Now Mia's under our gazebo, and I have to admit this one was pretty. It looks so fresh from the rain, although it was still overcast.

This one is just me getting an artsy look of Mia. This one is definitely my favorite.

How's the weather been where you live? It's been crazy here, as you can see. I hope it gets sunny and warm soon! :)

Felicity's Super Slumber Party (By Mia)

Ding Dong! The doorbell rang, and Felicity and I ran over to greet our friend Emily.

After everything was settled and things were put away, we decided to play Uno. I didn't have the best luck on that game. I ended up with the most cards- 10!

After the card game, I suggested a pillow fight. I don't mean to brag or anything, but I really dominated Felicity and Emily.Growing up with 3 hockey-crazy older brothers, I'm really tough skinned when it comes to stuff like that. Or, maybe because I had a GINORMOUS pillow.

After the pillow fight, we were pretty tuckered out, so Felicity showed us how to make friendship bracelets. Since Felicity is like, the master at making friendship bracelets, hers was waaaaay cooler than mine and Emily's simple ones. Felicity made this amazing rose pattern on hers! 

**Note from Emma** I LOOOOVE this picture!! It really captures their friendship with each other.**

After the bracelets, Emily made up a game where we would pick our favorite joke from Coconut's Joke Book with really weird accents. I read mine with a Swedish accent. Shyah! :)

We got pretty hungry after that, so we made some really awesome apple cider. (With the help of Mrs. Merriman! Tee hee.) We also had leftover cupcakes I brought from my brother's hockey team victory celebration the other night. 

It was pretty late, so we snuggled up in our sleeping bags, but we weren't ready to sleep yet! We talked and talked until it was about 11:00!! 

Since it was 11:22, we decided it was definitely time to hit the sack.

We went to bed really late, so we obviously slept in late, too. To be exact, 9:45 in the morning! It's a good thing I don't have skating practice on Saturdays, or else I'd be sleeping on the ice! We woke up and went downstairs to have breakfast. Felicity's mom sure does know how to cook! It's been awhile since I had anything other than cereal for breakfast, since our schedules are so busy. It was nice to sit down and eat for once without having something to make you eat quick and hop out the door! After breakfast, we got dressed and said our goodbyes to one another, and left. It was so fun there, next time I might have to have one at my house........

Oops!

OOPS!!! I am really mad at myself. :( :( :( I was really careless and LOST (Yes, LOST) the headband and drawstring purse for the prize in my contest. Again, your probably thinking: "Jeez, Emma!!! I'm so mad at you I'm going to break my computer and have a mad rage and be a 2nd King Kong!!!!" Pleeeeeeease don't!! I tried my best to make it up to you, and made a different (And if I do say so myself, COOLER) headband. I'm really sorry I was this dumb and if you really liked those two A LOT, I'm REALLY SUPER SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm probably the worst person ever in your opinion. Oh, Well. I'm going to try to make it up to you by replacing the drawstring bag as well, and I NEED you to vote on my poll about it ASAP!!! Anyway, Here are the pics of the replacement headband!!!

And the back, to let you see that the gemstones go all the way around the headband.

******BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK******

Okay, so in this picture, I just wanted to show my AWESOME NEW picture-taking lamps. Since flash with the camera just makes my dolls look weird, I usually use the No Flash setting, which almost always makes my pictures look blurry or yellow, so my mom gave me these cool lamps that came with a little tent for showcasing little things. I really should have used it to display the headband, but my mom reminded me about it right after I finished taking pictures!! But I promise to use it next time! :) Anyway, I LOVE the lamps, and they make my pictures SO much better. What do you think?? Please tell me!!!!!

P.S. Thanks SOOOO Much, American Girl Doll Hairstyles for being my 11th Follower!! I Love All of you Guys!! Thanks for being such a great audience. :) I really appreciate all you do!

ALSO FEATURING: Emma's First "Rants's 'n' Raves" Talk Below!!! 

***This is in my opinion, so you might not agree with what I have to say. If you have a different view of the subject, totally feel free to share it!!! I hope I don't hurt anyone by these.***

OK AG, I have to hand it to 'ya:

Your taking FOREVER to retire these two!! I'm NOT saying I like the idea of you retiring them, (I absolutely HATE the idea) but now all their clothes are sold out and gone, and everybody who wanted the dolls already got them in the beginning of their retirement or the holiday's, etc. So really, just get it over with. I'm not sure why this seems to bother me, but it just seems so weird. They didn't take this long with Kristen or Samantha, so why this long for them??  I mean, it's way over our "Last Holiday to Bring them home", so Just retire 'em if that's the plan, and if your not going to, DON'T RETIRE THEM!!!!!!! For Pete's sake, American Girl!! 

What do you think about this?

Harry Potter Look Alike Dolls

I thought it would be fun to find AG dolls that looks like Harry Potter Characters, so This is what I found:


This one looks like Hermione! Well not EXACTLY. If AG had a blonde curly or wavy haired doll, that would be MUCH better. But they don't, so this is the next best thing. ;)


This one looks like Ginny, sort of. But actually, I think her internet version actually looks more like her, don't you think?


This one is Cho Chang. I really think it looks like her. Or at least how I imagined her when I read the books, and It looks a lot like the actress who played Cho.


Tell me what you think! If you know of any more character-doll resemblances please tell me!!! :)

Mia's Outdoor Adventure

With the weather becoming warmer and more like Spring, Mia decided to explore outside for a while.

She climbed tall trees, saw cool plants and smelled wonderful flowers.

After exploring for some time, she heard her stomach grumble, and decided to rest and eat the snack she packed.

When she stood up, her foot caught on a root and she tumbled over- right into a big plant of poison ivy!!

She quickly ran home, itchy, tired and sore. She jumped into a nice warm bath and slathered on soap and poison ivy lotion, vowing to herself shed be more careful next time!!

Did you like it? I had fun making it, but be sure to be careful when you bring your doll outside! Be sure to have your parents permission and/or supervision. =)
