The Last Goodbye~ A Lyrics Photoshoot
I’ve always wanted to make one of these and since I just watched BOTFA for the second time AND discovered that some lyrics from The Last Goodbye are actually IN the Hobbit book, I decided it was high time I do it! π
Credit to Billy Boyd for the amazing song, and to Adaline for making up lyrics photoshoots π
“I saw the light fade from the sky.
On the wind I heard a sigh…
As the snowflakes cover my fallen brothers, I will say this last goodbye….
Night is now falling, so ends this day.
The road is now calling and I must away
Over hill, and under tree
Through lands where never light has shone
By silver streams that run down to the sea
To these memories I will hold
With your blessing, I will go
To turn at last to paths that lead home.
And, oh, where the road then takes me, I cannot tell
We came all this way, but now comes the day, to bid you farewell….
I bid you all a very fond farewell…….”
I only used some of the song because it’s a long song and I didn’t have much time to take the pictures, but I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know if you’d be interested in seeing more lyrics photoshoots! π
Have a great rest of your day!

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 π
So here’s the overview! Some of them are hiding behind the curtains, though LOL!
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 π
Bella, Ellie, and Snow are being as sweet as can be playing with Licorice π
Belinda is helping Cecile with some school.
And Merida wants Belinda for something…. Probably to help her climb something π
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 π
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.
Janie looking over at Caleb and Kendra. They attract a lot of attention to themselves whenever they fight π
Julie, Kaya, and Samantha are talking π
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!
Josefina and Kirsten were about to bake and are now trying to persuade Rebecca into helping them, too. Addy was talking to Kirsten π
Jenna doing some things at the vanity π
And Kiara and Caroline are chatting π
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?

Sadie’s Hope~ Part 2
YAY! Sadie’s Hope has started!! I was going to post the first part, but then we decided that Emma should post it, so be sure to go read the first part on her blog BEFORE reading this part π
Sadie hesitantly followed her. Amy led her outside and down a few blocks until they reached a little shack, from which Sadie could hear lots of loud voices.
Opening the door, Amy gestured to the suddenly silent group of kids.
“Hey, Amy, who’s this?” A dark haired girl inquired.
“This is Sadie-” Amy paused to remember her last name, but soon remembered they hadn’t been properly introduced, “What’s your last name?” Amy questioned. “Darrell.”
Amy nodded her head in acknowledgement and said, “Sadie, these are some friends of mine. We’re a small group of kids who try to help other orphan children who have no home.”
Amy continued and listed their names, “This is Viveca,” Amy gestured to the black haired girl,
“and this is Gretta,” She pointed to the African American,
“and this is Mark.” Amy said and the boy nodded. “What’s she doing here, Amy?” Mark asked, sounding a little annoyed.
“She’s a new–” Amy paused and searched for the right word, “Friend. We are going to help her.”
“We? Nah, I don’t think so.” Mark refused.
“Mark!” Amy shouted.
“Honestly, Mark, why even be in the group if you don’t wanna help out another orphan kid?” Viveca questioned with annoyance. Mark rolled his eyes. Sadie knew there was going to be a lot of tension between Mark and her, if he was going to help.
“What do you even want our help with?” Mark asked, eyes suspicious.
“I need to get my little brother out of the orphanage.” Sadie said.
“Oh, you’re lucky he’s even alive. You know those orphanages are teeming with deadly diseases.” Mark smirked. Sadie felt her face grow hot, and she pursed her lips together to keep from saying anything rude back at him.
“Mark! Really, could you just quit it!” Gretta shouted.
Mark could tell that Sadie was upset, so he asked, “Your brother must feel pretty bad to have a sister like you – you abandoned him, didn’t you?”
Sadie looked at him with wide eyes, trying to hold back her guilt.
Mark snickered and said, “I knew it.”
Sadie looked down, her cheeks hot. “Mark Campbell, if you say one more unkind word to Sadie, I will take away your food for the week!” Amy shouted, her face burning with anger. Mark frowned, but said no more.
Amy glanced over at Sadie, who’s eyes looked all teary. “Hey, don’t let him bother you. He’s always saying something mean to somebody.” Amy comforted silently.
Sadie looked away, embarrassed that she was letting him get to her. “Yeah, um, when can we go and get him out?” Sadie asked.
“Well, we will have to make a plan first. Anyone got any ideas?” Amy inquired.
“Maybe we,” Gretta pointed to her and Mark, “can distract the lady at the front desk while you two sneak in,” She pointed at Sadie and Amy, “and grab your brother?”
“And what about me?” Viveca asked, feeling a little left out.
“Oh, um, you can come with us to distract the lady, you’re good at coming up with lies!” Gretta added.
Viveca smiled, “Alright, that sounds good to me!”
“Okay! Everything sounds great! We can go as soon as you want, Sadie.” Amy said.
“Well, then, let’s leave now!” Sadie said, quite determined to get her brother back.
“Oh, for a second there I thought you were going to leave him in the orphanage for a couple other days.” Mark grinned devilishly.
Sadie flashed Mark a dirty look and was just about to say something back, when Viveca intervened-
“WELL! We should really get on our way, shall we?” Viveca asked Amy.
“Yes, let’s get going!” Amy agreed.
Mark laughed and followed the girls out the door.
And that concludes this part!! Emma and I hope you liked it! π
The next part will be posted on Emma’s blog π

Good morning fellow doll lovers! I thought I was gonna have to post this on Sunday again, because I’m going over Emma’s today, but I have time right now, so let’s get started! π
JGKelsey did an amazing review on the new OG Retro Cruiser! I seriously love this car!
I absolutely love DollyDormDiaries! Their pictures, the poses, everything is so incredibly realistic and beautiful! They did aΒ funΒ photostory called “An Easter Rumor”, but what made me love it the most was how adorable the little dalmatian was! AAH! ADORBS!
Ginger Spice’s photostories always make me smile. This one was so cute and I’m looking forward to reading the next part! π
I didn’t do a ton of reading this week, so it is shorter, but I hope you still enjoy the posts I picked! π
If you have a doll blog youβd like me to visit, or if you have a favorite doll blog youβd like me to check out, leave a link in the comments below! Iβm always interested in visiting new doll blogs

I Am So Sad
NOOOOO!!! AAAAAAGH!! Okay, sorry. I’m just really sad because, guess what?! Are you ready to hear this? Okay, here we go…….
AG RETIRED THREE MAG DOLLS!!!!!! Two of them I really loved and wanted, too!!! π
I don’t know why, but this picture saved really blurry…..
………….*tries not to scream* NOOOO! I seriously loved this doll SO much!!! π
So I had heard a rumor, that there are supposed to be 2 new MAG dolls released when the line gets revamped to TrulyMe next month…. But since there’s three dolls that are no longer available, I wonder if there will actually be three new dolls? Hmmm…..
Are you sad about these dolls retiring? What are your thoughts on TrulyMe?

Happy Easter!! I’m so sorry that I didn’t post this yesterday. I was gone all day π Well, let’s get on with my favorite reads!
I loved this post over at SimplyDollightful! I visited The Grand Canyon once when I was really little, but I hardly remember it, so it was nice to see some pictures of it. The photography is always so beautiful on this blog! Check out the post by clicking hereΒ π
Emma did such a fun April Fool’s Day photostory this week! I’ve never really been good at pulling pranks, so it’s fun to see what other people come up with! π
A new blog (for me) I visited this week was InnerStarStudios14. I really liked this photoshoot Marissa did of her doll, Alexandria π
I was also recommended to visit MissMollyFriends. She has really nice and realistic pictures, and although she hasn’t posted for a while, this was still a favorite read of mine this week! Her dolls playing Twister is just so cute! π
I hope you enjoyed my picks this week!Β If you have a doll blog youβd like me to visit, or if you have a favorite doll blog youβd like me to check out, leave a link in the comments below! I’m always interested in visiting new doll blogs π
I hope you all have a great time celebrating with your family and friends today! And remember that today isn’t aboutΒ The Easter Bunny and Easter eggsΒ (even though it’s fun πΒ ), it’s about Jesus’ resurrection. Because He raised, we can be saved from our sins and have eternal life π
“God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only son. Anyone who believes in Him will not die, but will have eternal life. God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world. He sent His Son to save the world through Him.” John 3:16-17
Have a blessed day! π
