Ella Is Here!!!!
EEEEE!!!! Okay, first, I am so sorry about not posting pictures of Ella on Saturday. It was just such a busy and distracting day having an adorable new puppy in the house 😀
So without further ado, I present, Princess Ella Reign!
This is her on the drive home! My older brother is holding her cause she was whining a lot 😉
Here she is sleeping by her food and water bowls! AGH! That scrunchy little face!!! 😀
Hasn’t she grown and changed so much?! Puppies grow up WAY too fast! In my opinion, they should just stay puppies forever! 😀
She was the sweetest little thing today! She was super tired and she came and rested her head on my knee! I had to move though cause she was falling asleep and that would not have been comfortable for me LOL!
I can’t tell you how happy and excited I am to have little Ella as a member of our family! She is very sweet, but she does have her moments…. Unfortunately Ella is not so good at listening and loves to bite people and couches…. And her first night here I probably only got 3-4 hours of sleep cause she whined and howled all night. I was so dead tired yesterday, but thankfully she only cried twice last night so I feel much more well rested today! And oh, let me tell you, she has a LOUD bark! That’s something I’m still getting used to LOL!
Even through all her feisty-ness, I simply adore her <3
Do you have a puppy? What’s he/she like?

A Tour of My Computer Desk!
Hey everyone! So, I got a new mouse pad and I wanted to show you all, so I thought – why not do a tour of my computer desk? I think you’ll enjoy it, so let’s get on with the tour! 🙂
Here’s my adorable desk! I love the chubby shape of it and the pink and white are perfect for my bedroom! 🙂
Here’s my mouse pad! Isn’t it adorable?! My mom got it for pretty much free from Shutterfly! It’s amazing quality and I seriously adore it! 😀
By my monitor I have my Bitty Beanies and blog business cards, an Anna Infinity Figure, and some adorable buttons my sister gave me! One is of Hera from Star Wars Rebels, one is of Elsa that says “Let It Go”, and the other is of Queen Amidala from Star Wars 🙂 Below you can see on the left I have some Star Wars Rebels cards! Kanan is showing because he’s the best character in that show LOL! I also have my Calico Critters Koala family and you can also just barely see a donut notepad and a planner showing 😉
Over here I have this cute little trinket box, a Vinylmation box signed by Paige O’Hara (in case you don’t know, she’s the voice of Belle in Beauty & The Beast), my Rebels cards (once again LOL!), and in back of the Vinylmation box is a 9″ Donut Vinylmation! 🙂
And on this side are my glasses, a bell (I know it seems like a funny thing to have, but they’re fun! LOL!), and a fan 🙂
So, that’s my computer desk! I hope you liked this post and let me know if you’d like to see more of my room! 🙂
What is your desk like?

It’s Over…
Yes. I finished writing the finale of all of my pirate stories. It took me a couple of minutes just to write “The End” and to click “Save Draft”. I got teary as I stared at the last sentence of the story, knowing that it was all over. My pirate stories have been so important to me and I feel like all of the characters are real people. They’re a part of me. Now that it’s over, I just feel so sad. Knowing that I will never again write another pirate story… 🙁
I have written 14 total pirate stories. The last one is my longest having 20 parts! I hope that you will all enjoy each of these stories just as much as I did writing them. I can’t wait to start posting them again! 😀
Around the time I was making Fire Cove Season 2, I made some posters for it that never got posted, so I thought I’d share one of them with you today 🙂
Ahhh…. Wow. Jake and Victoria……. The beginning of it all….. :’)
Since pirate stories have been my main focus for such a long time, I feel like it’s going to be hard to start writing other stories. I’m hoping that I’ll get into the flow of writing non-pirate stories easily and feel just as comfortable writing those as I did writing my pirate stories 🙂
How do you feel when you finish writing a story, or any big project that you’ve poured your heart into? Relieved? Happy? Sad?

My Brother Got ENGAGED!!!
EEE!!! I am just the happiest little sister right now!! Today was truly an AMAZING day!! My brother, Jordan has been dating his awesome girlfriend, Aaryn for almost a year (it’ll be a year tomorrow!) and today he popped the question! Jordan and Aaryn went skydiving for their one year anniversary of being together, and my mom made a huge banner that said “Aaryn, will you marry me?” so that as she was falling she could see it! Jordan wanted both families involved so we were all there to see him propose and it was just seriously so amazing!
I am seriously SO happy for them!! They are a perfect pair and they love each other with all their hearts! I’m so excited to soon be able to call Aaryn my sister 😀
CONGRATULATIONS, JORDAN AND AARYN!! I love you both SO much and I can’t wait to see what amazing plans God has in store for you!!! <3

Sorry!
Hey everyone! I’m so sorry I’ve been inactive for like over a week! I woke up sick Tuesday morning and have just been lying on the couch watching movies all day. I’m feeling better, but I’ve got a pretty bad cough and stuffy nose. Bleah! 😛
I promise that I will get a post up (this one doesn’t count LOL!) as soon as I am feeling completely normal again! 🙂
And just to make you smile, here’s another picture of Ella!
She opened her eyes at 2 weeks old!! AAH! She’s already changing so much!! I can’t wait until she comes home!! 😀
I hope you’ve all been having a nice week! 🙂
Talk to you all soon!

Princess Ella Reign
EEEEEEEEE!!! Okay, so I hadn’t planned to tell you all just yet, but I can’t contain my excitement!! We are getting….. A PUPPY!!!!! OH MY GOSH I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!! 😀 😀 😀
My mom and I went to go see the puppies today (they’re only a week old!) and I seriously died! They were all so cute and my mom and I both fell in love with the cutie above! Isn’t she adorable?! Her name is Princess Ella Reign and will be called Ella 😀
And in case you’re wondering, the photostory series I started – An Unexpected Gift, is a TRUE story! It’s all about how we came to get this little puppy. Annika is me and Riven-Delle is my mom 😉 I had planned to tell you all that it was a true story after the series ended, but I just couldn’t wait. I was WAY too excited!! So I’m not going to reveal too much about the story of how we got her (well, you know, we don’t have her yet 😉 ), because I want you all to find out in the series still, so make sure you read that! The next part will be up very soon! 🙂
I am SO excited to bring Ella home!! She is the sweetest little thing! 😀

Happy Birthday To An Awesome Brother!
Today is my older brother, Jordan’s 22nd birthday!! 😀
Jordan is seriously awesome! I’m so thankful for the great relationship we have and I pray that it will never weaken! Jordan is super crazy, absolutely hilarious, and makes the best faces. He is also so sweet, loving, and caring. He also gives awesome “Jub hugs” as me and my mom call them!
I have so many great memories with Jordan. From being so bored that we are just lying around in the living room watching weird PBS Kids shows, just waiting for Word Girl to come on (we loved that show!), also me wanting to play with him and he drops on the floor saying “I am paralyzed” and me having to drag him (literally!) around the house. We have chased each other around the house, slamming doors to get away, and played several LEGO video games together. Jordan has always made me die laughing. He sleeps in the craziest positions on the couch and lip sings to songs so dramatically! XD
Aside from being super crazy and hilarious, Jordan is also super caring. He loves to give hugs and he’s always there to make me smile (even when I’ve been mad at him. I can never be mad at him any longer than a minute cause he just makes me laugh!). He’s always been himself everywhere he goes and he loves the Lord!
Thank you, Jordan, for being such an amazing brother! Happy Birthday!! 😀

Older Girls Love AG, Too!
Hello everyone! I’m sure a few of you are wondering why I haven’t posted about TrulyMe yet, but don’t worry! There will be a post on that within the next few days 🙂
Right now, I am here to ask YOU to email American Girl. Why, you ask? Well, here’s why;
Yesterday, I went to enter in the Truly Awesome Sweepstakes that AG is having now through August. Each week you can enter to win a different prize and this week it’s your choice of a TrulyMe doll and the new Love to Layer Accessories. So, guess what happened when I went to enter? I was putting in my birth date and I couldn’t go any farther back than 2001. I clicked on the rules and saw that only girls ages 8-13 are allowed to enter. That is really unfair! AG should not have an age limit in the sweepstakes! Girls ages 14 and up (and I mean WAY up), LOVE AG still! How could they block us out from being able to enter?
I wrote an email to AG about this because it is just wrong. They clearly do not realize how many of their customers are older teens and women. It’s up to us to make that known to them! So here’s what I’m asking;
Write to AG telling them how you are disappointed that you can’t enter the sweepstakes because of the age limit, or tell them that you think it’s unfair to the older girls. Then, if you have a blog, post about this situation on your blog and ask your readers to write as well. Let’s spread this around! The more letters/emails AG receives, the better. I don’t know if they’ll even do anything about it, but I feel that we need to get our point across! 🙂
Enjoy your night, everyone! 🙂

Which picture was your favorite? Do you think Kaya makes a good modern day girl?

I Am Writing Up A Storm!
Whew! I have been writing SO much lately! I wrote two whole stories plus I finished a couple, and now my brain is already thinking, “What next?!” 😀 I made a list of all of the series that I have in the works and there are 15 total!! Three of them are a trilogy that I’m making with Emma and we’ll be starting the first one REALLY soon! 😀
Speaking of series, above is a poster for The Disappearing Heirs Season 2: The Crown Reclaimed, so please feel free to print it out and hang it up in your (or your doll’s) bedroom! 🙂
I finished typing up the last few parts of The Disappearing Heirs today, and I hope you’ll join me on Saturday, March 21st to see the series finished!! I’ll be posting one part every hour and once it’s done, there will be a couple other TDH related posts! 😀
I’m so excited for all the photostory series I’ll be posting this year! It’s gonna be so much fun!! 😀
Well, I’m gonna get back to my writing. Bye for now! 🙂
