Photos From The Past

Hi everyone! Recently I was going through some old pictures I took from like 2009-ish, and I thought it would be fun to show you all πŸ™‚

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
First off, this is a picture of all my stuffed animals (at that time) set up on my floor as Spirit preached to them about the Prodigal Son. I called it Beanie Church πŸ˜‰ Oh, and you see that little white goat down there that’s tied up? Yeah… He’s bad so he had to be tied up to keep him from going crazy. Kinda funny that his name is Fred the Friendly Goat, isn’t it? XD

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
I took this photo of Beth around Christmas time. I think she looks so precious πŸ™‚

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
O_O Did that really used to be all I had? I can’t even remember what that was like! XD Oh, just an FYI for those who don’t know, but Addy and Josefina are my sister’s dolls πŸ˜‰

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
I played Little House on The Prairie/country a LOT when I was little. Here we have Felicity and Addy doing some mending πŸ˜‰

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
Kirsten making some eggs πŸ™‚ (OH MY GOSH HER HAIR!!! :O )

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
Josefina tending to the baby πŸ™‚

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
This was another time when I was playing “real life”. Felicity, Addy, and Caleb are all playing with cars on this mat I had, while Kirsten, Kendra, and Josefina play with their dolls πŸ™‚

 

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG

Beth looking all sweet πŸ™‚

TOSHIBA Exif JPEG
And for a bonus, this is a picture of my room after I cleaned it all up. It looks so different now. O_O I’ll have to show you guys what my room looks like now sometime πŸ˜‰

Well, I hope you enjoyed taking a stroll through memory lane with me! I love having these pictures to look back to πŸ™‚

Do you have photos of things you used to play when you were little?

Store Photos From Maryellen’s Debut~ Part 1

Okay, I took like a gazillion pictures at the store of like EVERYTHING, so this is gonna have to be split into two or three parts! Crazy, huh?! So this part I’ll be focusing on the Beforever Characters πŸ™‚

image

Here’s the table with all the food. I didn’t eat any of it…. What is wrong with me?! I think it’s because I felt stressed (we got there like 10 minutes before 10), they were just about to have a drawing, and I had gum. So yeah… I really wanted a muffin, though! LOL!

image

So true! πŸ˜€

image

Here’s the drawing – you had a chance to win Maryellen’s TV or a Bitty Baby!

image

Here’s Maryellen’s display!!! YAY!!

image

I love her collection SO much!! Like seriously – I want a lot of it! LOL

image

Doesn’t that spot look so empty?? I feel like there should be more there than just Maryellen herself!

image

Here’s her diner!! AAAHH!!!! It’s SO amazing!!! I can’t tell you how much I love it. I don’t care how much it is, I will buy this someday! πŸ˜€

image

Here’s my Maryellen visiting Grace’s La Patisserie πŸ™‚

I just now realized that those are the only Maryellen photos I took…. What is wrong with me?! Ugh!

image

Oh! LOL! Here’s another picture of her diner! Isn’t it amazing??? πŸ˜€

image

Here’s Julie’s display πŸ™‚

image

I love this coat so much, like oh my gosh! :O

image

I also really love this dress! It’s so cute!

image

What do you think of her new pajamas? I personally like her old ones better, but I think the new ones are still cute πŸ™‚

image

Samantha’s Gazebo…. Aaaahh! So pretty!!!

image

The coat… :O I have a thing for coats, jackets, vests, pretty much anything that you wear over something LOL!

image

Oh, gosh, AG!! Why do you have so many amazingly huge furniture pieces that I want???

image

Samantha’s display is so full!! She has so much stuff!! (why not make Josefina’s collection a little bigger….)

image

Kit has a lot of cute stuff in her collection! I love the desk, the typewriter, her outfits – I really should get some of her outfits…

image

Like this one!! OMGOSH isn’t it the cutest?! πŸ˜€

image

*Sigh* Poor Josefina. Her collection is so small. I feel like she’s so neglected…. πŸ™

image

Yay! Rebecca!! πŸ˜€

image

This dress is so amazing!

image

Alright, Addy and Josefina really need some more attention! Their collections are so small compared to the others! πŸ™

image

Well, that ends this part! I’m sorry I didn’t get more pictures of Maryellen’s collection… Maybe I was too into looking at her stuff that I just forgot to take pics or something. Sorry about that πŸ˜• Ummm…. I just realized that I have no pictures of Kaya or her collection…. I don’t even remember seeing her there! I must have walked passed it or something… Hmmm….

Anyways, it was a really fun day and it was so great to meet Mya, Amelia, and Rebekah! πŸ˜€

Look for part 2 of “Masquerade” coming later today and I will post the next part of the store photos tomorrow! Bye for now!

What My Dolls Are Up To

Hey everyone! Yesterday I cleaned out under my bed (my doll’s bedroom) because I’ve been having a ton of baby spiders in my room lately (*shudders*) and the other day I noticed a few under there, so I freaked out… Anyways! Back to the subject of this post – I set up my dolls to where they’re all doing something and I thought it’d be fun to show you what they’re up to πŸ™‚

image

So here’s the overview! Some of them are hiding behind the curtains, though LOL!

image

Over here, Dallas is getting Pepper out of his bed so he, Eli, and Jeremy can play with him. Rapunzel is asking if she can play with him, too and Lissie is trying to get a book, but Dallas is in the way. You can kinda see Clara back there just hanging out πŸ™‚

image

Bella, Ellie, and Snow are being as sweet as can be playing with Licorice πŸ™‚

image

Belinda is helping Cecile with some school.

image

And Merida wants Belinda for something…. Probably to help her climb something πŸ˜›

image

And of course Caleb and Kendra are fighting and screaming at the top of their lungs. Kristoff is trying to pull Caleb off of Kendra and Annika starts to intervene. Mickey and Minnie are sad and scared by their fighting as usual, too πŸ˜‰

image

Kanani, Riven-Delle, and Annika had all been talking, but then stopped instantly when they noticed Caleb and Kendra fighting. Anna was gonna talk to Riven-Delle, but also stopped when she noticed the fight.

image

Janie looking over at Caleb and Kendra. They attract a lot of attention to themselves whenever they fight πŸ˜›

image

Julie, Kaya, and Samantha are talking πŸ™‚

image

And oh, dear! Marie-Grace was talking to Saige (who is painting) when she was supposed to be practicing her singing, so Lana told her to stop talking to Saige, Marie-Grace got mad, and now Jess came over and is trying to tell Lana that it’s okay for Marie-Grace to talk to Saige. My goodness!

image

Josefina and Kirsten were about to bake and are now trying to persuade Rebecca into helping them, too. Addy was talking to Kirsten πŸ™‚

image

Jenna doing some things at the vanity πŸ™‚

image

And Kiara and Caroline are chatting πŸ™‚

Do your dolls have a usual thing that happens every day? Like how Caleb and Kendra always fight? What do your dolls like to do?

The Disappearing Heirs~ Part 7 The Grand Finale!

image

“There he is.” Corinne whispered as softly as possible.

image
I looked where Corinne held her gaze and I saw a man frantically digging through dozens of papers and folders.

image

“Hey, Joshua. Still looking for that notepad?” Corinne asked jokingly as we stepped over to his desk.

image

“Corinne! What are you doing back here? I told you to leave!” Joshua shouted.

image
“And I did, didn’t I? And once I left I met up with a detective who’s on the hunt for you. You see, I’m working for someone else now.” Corinne stated.

image
“We’re both armed, so if you know what’s best for you, I’d give yourself up right now.” I said, trying to sound like a detective.

image
He laughed like a maniac and said, “Very well! Very well, I SURRENDER!!” He yelled at the top of his lungs as he raised his hands in the air. He seemed totally insane.

image
“I’ll keep an eye on him, you go get the heirs.” I told Corinne. She nodded her head and left.

image
“So, you got a family?” Joshua questioned with a sad look behind his eyes.

image
I inhaled deeply and said, “No. Not anymore. I was adopted as an infant and now my family is gone.” I explained and turned my head away. I hardly ever talked about my family, and it hurt to mention them.

image
Joshua’s eyes widened as he rose from his seat and stepped over to me. “Don’t get any ideas of attacking. As I said before, I’m armed.” I said firmly, though inside I was a little frightened.

 

click on the picture to see what he sees near her neck ;)

click on the picture to see what he sees near her neck πŸ˜‰


He pushed my hair away and his jaw dropped.

image
“After all my searching, I’ve finally found you!” Joshua exclaimed

image
“Ummm.. What are you talking about?” I questioned slowly.

image
“You might want to sit down.” He said gently and pulled me to his chair.

image
“Alright, I’m sitting. Now, what are you talking about?” I asked again.

image
“Many years ago, in a faraway kingdom, a stable boy fell in love with a princess, and she loved him, too. Later they were married, even though the king and queen did not approve. After a few years of marriage, the stable boy, who was now a prince, had to go away for a long time to battle off their enemies.” Joshua explained, but I wasn’t understanding why he was telling me a fairy tale.

image

“What on earth does this have to do with answering my question?” I asked, getting frustrated.

image
He ignored my question and went on, “While the prince was away, the princess gave birth to a newborn girl, but the princess died shortly after her child was born. When the prince rushed back at the news of his wife and newborn daughter, he was informed by the princess’ parents,Β that his daughter was sent away to an orphanage and they would not tell him where. And because he wasn’t royalty to start with, they had him sent away, never to return. He was no longer a prince.”

image
Just then, Corinne entered the room and said, “Alright, you ready, Allie?”

image
Although I kind of wanted to hear how this fairy tale would end, I rose from my seat and said, “Well thanks for the story, but we need to get moving.”

image
“Wait, I just need to tell you one more thing!Β That prince in the story is me. And you have the same birthmark as the princess, my wife!” He said, raising his voice.

image

“What are you talking about? Do you even grasp how insane you sound?” I shouted.

image
He sighed and said gently, “Like a mad man I’m sure. But Allie, I am your father.”

image
DUN! THE END!!

I’m sure you can all guess that there will be a second season and you are correct! It’ll start VERY soon! πŸ˜€

Family Photo :)

I’ve noticed a few blogs have been taking family photos of their dolls, and I’ve always wanted to do that, but because I have so many, it would take HOURS to get them all ready, so I never did it. But- it is time to stop being lazy, LOL! πŸ˜›

image

Back row, left to right- Addy, Josefina, Felicity, Kirsten, Rebecca, Kanani, Marie-Grace, Caroline, and Saige.
Bottom row, left to right- Beth, Annika, Kendra, Cecile, Caleb, Samantha, Jeremy, Kaya, Mickey, Jess, Minnie, Clara, and Janie

I took a family photo of all of my AG dolls (including my sisters) on Saturday and I think it turned out great! It was so neat to see them all set up together πŸ™‚ I was going to do a family photo that included everyone in my doll family, which would include MyTwinn, Disney Toddler Dolls, and other baby dolls, but I didn’t have room anywhere to get a picture of all of them! So maybe some day I’ll get a family picture of my non-AG dolls πŸ˜‰

Who is in your American Girl Doll family?

BeForever RELEASE!!!

Okay, girls. I have been counting down how much longer until the release ALL DAY!! And around 9:40 my mom said that she read the release was online (but really it wouldn’t be online around 10:00 PM our time), so I RUSHED to the computer and went onto the AG site (I was literally shaking- I was so excited!), and then I counted down the minutes until 10:00- then it was time! I clicked refresh and VOILA! Let’s just say these lyrics “A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew!” would’ve matched PERFECTLY in the background of me looking at all the new stuff!!!! πŸ˜€
Now, after dying for an hour (no joke) I am FINALLY ready to share my thoughts over everything with you!!!

beforever_samantha

WELCOME BACK SAMANTHA!!! I know, a lot of people don’t like the pink and they think it doesn’t “match” her, but I LOOOVE her new Meet Outfit!! It is SO beautiful and she looks great in it!! πŸ˜€ ALSO- it is true- you can buy the Meet Outfits separately for $36.00 AND AG has raised the price of Doll and Book to $115.00- ugh πŸ˜•

frilly_frock

Samantha’s Frilly Frock is $36 and oh, so cute!! I love that it’s satin and I’m also loving the color combo of pink and purple- my two favorite colors! I also like that they used lavender, since that’s Samantha’s favorite color πŸ™‚

samantha_bicycle

Samantha’s Bicycling Outfit is $34. It’s cute, but I don’t think it’s all that great. πŸ˜‰

samantha_nightgown

Samantha’s Nightgown is $24 and very cute! I love those little slippers!

caroline_party

Caroline’s Party Gown is $36 and SO pretty!! Again, I’m loving the satin!

caroline_table_treats

Caroline’s Table & Treats is $150 and reminds me quite a bit of the one from Marie-Grace and Cecile’s Collection…. But- it’s still cute! πŸ˜›

beforever_josefina

Josefina Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I really don’t like the blue added into her outfit. And I’m also so sad that she didn’t get anything else new. I feel so bad for her πŸ™

beforever_julie

Julie Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I do not like her new meet outfit at all. The original one was way better! And honestly- those sunglasses make her look weird- in my opinion away πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜›

Julie’s Tunic Outfit is $34. The only thing that caught my eye were those heels!! I’ve never seen heels that big for AG dolls before!!

julie_winter_coat

Julie’s Winter Coat & Hat is $34 and I am DYING over this!!!! I really think my dolls need that coat!! πŸ˜€

kaya_hair

Pow-Wow Hair Set of Today is $18. I’m not too interested in this πŸ˜›

Kit Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I think her dress cute and it’s definitely better than her original Meet Outfit in my opinion! The main thing I like is the hat πŸ˜›

kit_reporter

Kit’s Reporter Dress is $38 and I think it’s pretty cute! πŸ™‚

kit_photographer

Kit’s Photographer Outfit is $34. I am really in love with that sweater, but I definitely wouldn’t buy the outfit πŸ˜‰

Kit’s Typewriter Set is $50 and can I just say- YAYAY!!! I’ve missed her old typewriter for such a long time and I’m SO happy that she has one again!!! I’m probably gonna have to buy this someday. I love typewriters!! πŸ˜€

Now, let’s take a look at the Mini Dolls:

samantha_mini

addy_mini

caroline_mini

julie_mini

kaya_mini

kit_mini

rebecca_mini

The Mini Dolls are $25 and come with a book. I can’t BELIEVE I am about to say this, and it is the first time I’ve ever said it about AG, but I honestly think they look so cheapy. They remind me of the little Isabelle dolls they had in Happy Meals at McDonalds! And I still don’t think their faces cute. I think they’re slightly cuter than the old ones, but if I’m going by quality, I have to say that the old ones were better. πŸ˜•

Also, there were a few new books released!

doll_art_kit

Doll Art Studio is $24.95 and it looks so adorable!! I think this kit is officially on my wants list πŸ˜›

awesome_random

I also noticed this which is $9.99

bits_glitz

And this which is $24.99. πŸ™‚

So that’s all for the whole new release!! I’ll have to give this release a 9 out of 10 due to some things I didn’t like, such as outfits not being changed, cheapy mini dolls, etc.
However I LOVED this release and I hope you did, too! Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments! I’d love to hear from you! πŸ˜€

We got an email from American Girl yesterday and it had this picture!! Okay, I just HAVE to buy Samantha’s and Rebecca’s new Meet Outfits!!! They’re SO pretty!!! But I also have to say that I’m SO sad and disappointed that Caroline and Kaya don’t have new outfits. Like that just looks so wrong- if you know what I mean πŸ˜›

And now for some exciting news!!! My mom and I are going to the AG store in LA for the BeForever Debut on Thursday!!!! I’m SOOOO EXCITED!!! I’ll be taking TONS of pictures, so you can look forward to that! πŸ˜€

How My Dolls Spent Easter

After we got home from church yesterday and ate lunch I just wanted to relax for awhile. Then it was time to go over my brother in-law’s family’s house. I had such a great time and I got to see my friend Alyssa (you might remember me asking for prayer requests for her when she was in the hospital with bad seizures. Thankfully she is doing a LOT better and it made me really happy!) πŸ˜€

First, my girls started out with an Easter Egg Hunt! All of my “kids” didn’t do it, only 6 of them and they were in teams of 3 πŸ˜‰

“Which way should we go first?” Cecile asked excitedly.

“Oh, oh! Let’s get those pretty pink eggs!” Marie-Grace said.

Rebecca went to pick them up and placed them in the basket.

“I think we have enough eggs now. We should let the others get the rest.” Kaya said trying to be fair to her sisters.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea.” Saige replied.

After the egg hunt, they all went inside to join the others.

Marie-Grace counted her eggs and Cecile and Caroline sat with her.
“How many did you guys get?” Caroline asked.

“Five, six and seven! We got seven eggs!” Marie-Grace said with a big smile.

“They collected practically all of the pink eggs. There were hardly any for us!” Kanani said to Jess.

“Well, I know I haven’t been here long, but it seems like pink is Marie-Grace’s favorite color, so I guess it makes sense.” Jess said with a giggle.

Samantha poured herself a cup of tea and said, “Do you like tea, Lissie?”
“Yes, I love tea!” Felicity replied and Samantha poured her a cup.

“C’mon, Kristoff. Let’s get all the cinnamon rolls before the others get a chance to have any!” Eli whispered, but Samantha heard him. “Eli, you two are not eating all of those cinnamon rolls! That is so bad for you!” Samantha scolded.

“How are you doing, Jess? I thought it might be hard for you to celebrate Easter without your family.” Annika said sadly.

“I’m doing okay. Some things have been a little hard, but I’m doing alright.” Jess replied.

“That’s good. And remember, I’m always here if you need to talk to someone.” Annika said kindly.

“Thank you, Annika. I’ll remember that.” Jess smiled. “This family is a lot different than my old one,” Jess thought, “but I think that in time, I’m going to love it here. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with such an amazing family.”
