Birthday Wishes

Yay! Today is Felicity's Birthday! She's 12- again! :) :)

I took some pictures today, the sun and lighting was beautiful. Simple gorgeousness.

Lighting...perfection....all in a days photo shoot. :) 


The background <3


The sun peeking through the leaves!

Look at the depth!

hey! It's everybody's favorite girl! :)

The shadows on my face bother me. :( 

It was weird having my photo taken, because I'm usually behind the camera. 

I tried doing a self portrait, holding the camera in front of me. I learned two important lessons today: Doing a self portrait is very hard when you are alone, and a closeup of my nose is NOT attractive. :} 

So, happy birthday Lissie! Happy eternal 12th birthday! And have a great weekend everybody!!

Love,

Inspiration Post...

I felt like I wanted to do a post, but really had no idea about. So this is it.

I am so completely overjoyed at the fact that 90 amazing people have followed my blog!!! It makes me smile every time I look. :)

Just a quick update on me...

I recently watched "Taylor Swift: Journey to Fearless" on my Netflix cue. It was awesome! I never really thought a lot about Taylor Swift, but liked some of her songs. Then, I decided to watch part one with my sisters. It was sooo spectacular! Amazing story and amazing girl. Her high standards and personality was so appealing. She is very down-to-earth and funny, making her relate able and fun. She stands out from other celebrities from the caring and loving relationship with her family, and how sweet she is to all of her fans. I am totally hooked on her!



My mom loved it too! On my mom's blog she did a post on it. Please click HERE to read it!

I am anxiously awaiting her new album said to be released this year! Yay! I'm wondering if there are any other Taylor Swift fans out here...
:D

Also, I have a terrible stomach ache from this cruddy Costco ice cream I'm pretty sure is past it's expiration  date...
:(
Well, that's me currently! How about you guys? Post a comment with your whereabouts! Also, any ideas for a new post?

Love,

French Video is HERE!

Hi! Sorry for no comments/answers to e-mails/posts, as I was grounded because( I'll admit) I was pretty naughty. :}


BUUUUUT..... The French interview is here!



Wow. NOT MY BEST PIC. EVER. Honestly, I've looked better.  :D My little sisters are the girls with the Bitty Twins!!

If you want to see the entire video, not just my bit, click HERE 

Yay! Finally up.

My hair would not cooperate that day of all days, sorry I looked like I just jumped out of bed. My bangs do not usually look like bed-head!

If you don't speak French, I pretty much said that I have a blog, and that I do posts of my dolls and AG whereabouts.

And some quick questions I'm sure will be asked: Yes, that is me. Yes, that is my room. Yes, That is my blog. No, that is not my voice speaking the amazing French. (I wish it was!)
 Any other questions will be gladly answered!

There are several other things I'll want to post about but this is all the time I have for today.

Love,

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!
