Priya's Movie Tag!

RULES (you have to post this with your tag, I think)
First, you must acknowledge the person who tagged you. Second, you tell your 3 favorite movies, 3 random things about your favorite movies, and 1 thing you like to do while watching movies.


1. Thanks Priya for tagging me!
2. My three most favorite movies are, 
Tangled, 

The Muppets,

 and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl!


(I would have put Brave, which I'm fairly certain will be my favorite when it comes out) 
   


3. Three random things about the above movies are… 

• Rapunzel is my 2nd favorite princess (Belle is my 1st!), 

   

• I love the music in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,

 

•  and the Muppets are just awesome! 

 

4. I think popcorn is okay, but I hate how it gets stuck in my teeth. :( Plus, it's just super salty... I prefer cheese puffs, like Pirate Booty! :D 


I tag anyone who loves a good movie!

Spotlight on My Dressed Up Doll!

I am doing a spotlight post on the (amazing) Etsy shop My Dressed Up Doll! The owners have an amazing story, and they e-mailed it to me. Here it is:

      We started our shop, My Dressed-Up Doll, last fall. We are three sisters from a family of 10, and we are all in our 20s. Since we travel full-time singing and ministering in churches across the country, we needed a small, part-time "traveling" job. Since those kind of jobs are far and few between, we decided to start our Etsy shop. We like to make "pretty" outfits, mostly dresses, for dolls; we have seen a lot of other styles but noticed that there was a lack of fancy, pretty clothing for dolls. We love choosing color combinations and creating new outfits including the perfect hair accessory or purse. We sew many other things too, including dresses for ourselves or other projects like purses, wall hangings, scarves, etc. Needless to say, we spend a lot of time at Joanns. We have one American Girl doll, Kirsten, and since she is a historical doll, she has the traditional hair that can be a pain to keep up :-) 
     Here's a little more about us . . . we are from Toledo, OH, but since we travel all the time we are not there very often. We travel throughout the U.S. - from Maine to Florida to Tennessee to Arizona to everywhere in between :-) Dad is an evangelist and we all sing together - and play instruments. We all play piano, plus each of us play a couple more instruments including guitar, banjo, violin, mandolin, ukelele, harmonica, and others. Our big bus is a huge attraction since it is the biggest one that has been made - it's 60 feet long and bends in the middle. Since there are 9 of us living in it (one daughter is married and a missionary to the Middle East), we knew we needed something big enough to be comfortable.


And some pictures! 

This is their bus- very VERY big!











Their large family!

3. The French News Station told me they're mailing me a DVD of the interview they did of me about MAG, because the video only works in France. As soon as I can I'll upload it up on here! I am going to try to block out my age and last name if possible, too.

My Dream Doll

Okay, so I keep talking about new dolls, but one doll I would seriously LOVE to do is make a custom doll. Ebay, my handy companion, may possibly help me in this dream. I would buy an Emily doll cheap(ish) and buy a Blythe wig (I heard they fit AG dolls well, but only look shorter) and VOILA! Doll of my dreams:

Yay! She is sorta like This MAG...

...So I would be okay with either. 

Thanks for reading! And what would your DREAM doll look like?? 

EDIT:

Here's what the wig  would look like:

(I don't own the pics!) 

 

 

 

All from this Etsy shop!

Love,
