A Royal Dilemma~ Part 5
Two days after the coronation I began my search for my sister, Diamond. I had the guards searching everywhere and Maggie informed me on how how the search was going.
“Your Majesty, the guards have been unable to determine your sister’s whereabouts.” Maggie said.
I got up from my throne and thought for a moment. Then I said,
“Maggie, please tell the guards to stop their search and have them bring me Captain Elena.”
“Captain Elena, Ma’m?” Maggie asked.
“Yes, she is a pirate captain.” I explained.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Maggie replied.
About an hour later Maggie showed up as I was pacing back and forth in the throne room. “Yes, Maggie, what is it?” I asked.
“Captain Elena has refused to come, Your Majesty.” Maggie said.
“Did she give a reason for refusing?” I asked.
“No, Your Majesty. Would you like me to have the guards arrest her?” Maggie asked.
“No, that will not be necessary. Thank you, Maggie, you may go.” I said.
That night I put on one of my dresses I wore in the country, slipped on my cloak, and left without anyone knowing. “If Captain Elena will not come to me, I will go to her.” I thought to myself.
Down at the docks, I silently followed a pirate who I thought may be Captain Elena, but I wanted to be sure before I revealed myself.
The pirate came to a halt and I paused. Then she spun around and grabbed me!
“Alright, Missy, start talkin’! Who are ye and why are you followin’ me?” The pirate asked.
“I will tell who I am once you tell me who you are. Are you Captain Elena?” I asked.
“Aye, I am. Now, what do ye want?” Captain Elena replied.
“I am Queen Ruby. I have a favor to ask of you.” I said.
“A favor? What is it?” Captain Elena asked.
“I have recently discovered that I have a twin sister who was kidnapped when she was three. My guards have been searching everywhere, but they have been unable to find her. I know that pirates like you know much about all of the horrible events that have taken place over the years, and I need you to help me find her. You are the only one equipped to do so. Especially since, well, you spend a good amount of time around people who have done bad things.” I said. I wasn’t being mean, just saying the truth.
“Wait a minute, Missy! I was going down that road, but I’ve changed, savvy? All of the pirating I do now is good. And now I have just one question, what’s in it for me?” Captain Elena asked.
“First, you will address me as ‘Your Majesty, Your Highness, or My Queen.’ And second, I will give you a reward of $100,000, but only if you find her. If not I will give you $50,000.” I said firmly.
Captain Elena thought for a awhile then she held out her hand and said,
“We have an accord!” I was so relieved. Just shaking her hand made me feel that I could depend upon her to find my sister!
That’s the end of Part 5! Look for the Grand Finale coming soon! 🙂

That Moment When…
It’s time to play a little game!
Comment below finishing this sentence (must be doll related):
“That moment when…”
Here is mine:
That moment when you walk in your room and see that your doll has fallen over. 🙁
Have fun!! 😀

Cecile Goes to Starbucks
Sometimes it’s nice to get out of the house and pick up a little treat. And that’s exactly what Cecile did!
“This line is taking kind of long.” Thought Cecile. She had been waiting for 10 minutes just to get a drink and a cake pop.
“Thank you, Rebecca! We’ll call you when your drink is ready. Napkins and straws are to your left.” Said Saige, the barista.
“Okay, thank you!” Said Rebecca.
“I can help the next guest in line!” Said Saige while looking at Cecile.
“Hi, what can I get started for you today?” Saige asked her customer.
“Hi, I’d like a Tall, Strawberries and Creme’, doubled blended, please.” Cecile said politely.
“One, Tall, Strawberries and Creme’ and did you say double blended?” Saige asked, making sure she got the order right.
“Yes, that’s right.” Cecile replied.
“Okay and will there be anything else for you today?” asked Saige.
“Hmmm… How about a Red Velvet Cake Pop?” Cecile ordered.
“Alright, and will that be all for you today?” Saige asked.
“Yes.” Cecile replied nicely.
“Okay, you’re total is $5.50.” Saige said.
Cecile dug in her wallet and pulled out her Debit card.
“Thank you! I’ll get your cake pop and we’ll call you when your drink is ready.” said Saige.
Saige picked out the nicest looking cake pop for Cecile.
“There you go!” Saige said, “Napkins and straws will be on your left.”
“Thank you!” Said Cecile.
Eli was busy at work making all of the drinks.
“One Tall Mocha Frapp with Whip!” Eli called.
“Thank you!” Said Rebecca.
“You’re welcome!” Eli replied.
While Cecile waited for her drink she enjoyed talking to the girl who was in line in back of her.
Pretty soon, Cecile heard Eli call out,
“One Tall Strawberries and Creme’ double blended!”
“Annika, when your drink is ready, would you like to sit with me? Unless you have to be somewhere-” Cecile said.
“No,” Annika interrupted, “I was planning on staying here anyways and
I would enjoy some company.”
Annika and Cecile drank their Starbucks together and had a great time. Not only had Cecile gotten an amazing drink, but she made an amazing friend as well.
The End
Have your dolls ever been to Starbucks?

Welcome, Samantha!
Yesterday (right when I was gonna eat lunch) Samantha came!!!!!! Her hair was in way better condition than I thought and I was able to fix it up easily. She has a mark on her cheek, but it’s not very bad. Her limbs aren’t loose and her clothes are perfect! Her head is tilted, though, but that’s not too much of a problem since Rebecca’s and Cecile’s are, too 😉
Anyways, enough talk, it’s time for some pictures!! 😀
I took a couple of pics yesterday and my mom thought I should post them. 😉
Awww!! Doesn’t she look SO beautiful?!
Here’s the back, so you can see her pretty curls 🙂
And here is a full body picture. She is SO SWEET!!!
AWWWW!!! I discovered that her face mold is smaller than the classic face mold today. I think that it’s SUPER cute!! 😀
Her hat is so elegant! LOVE!
Beautiful curls 🙂
And of course, realizing that I now had 3 retired Historical Dolls, I knew that I had to take some pics of them together 😉
Left to right: Felicity Merriman- archived in 2011, Kirsten Larson- archived in 2010, and Samantha Parkington- archived in 2009.
Felicity and Kirsten are SO happy to welcome Samantha to her new home 🙂
Do you have any retired AG dolls?

Bedding Problems
So, yesterday afternoon I started thinking about Samantha and how amazing it will be to finally have her. But then I thought, “Oh, no! Where is she gonna sleep?!”
I went in my room, grabbed a paper and pen and starting drawing out the two bunk beds and writing down where everyone slept. Uh-oh. There was no more room on either bunks!! I grabbed all of my dolls (okay, well, not all at the same time, LOL!) and put them in bed. I started thinking of ways I could re-arrange, but I couldn’t figure it out! My heart was pounding and I was out of breath (literally!). I was REALLY stressing out!
Then I FINALLY got it!! Above is a picture of all my bed plans. I had to draw stuff out 4 times! LOL!
Now I have space for 2 more dolls (if I get 2 more, which I probably will, hehe!)!! Whew! I am SO relieved that’s over. 😀
Have you ever had trouble figuring out where your dolls would sleep? Did you stress out like I did?
~Jaclynn~
Note: My writing is very sloppy in those drawings. I was writing really fast and wasn’t worrying about making it look nice. Sorry 😛
Just a Random Pic ;)
Hi and Merry Christmas again!!
So, whenever I introduce my “kids” to each other I always line them up or just set them up in some way. Well, today my mom came in my room just as I had finished lining them up. She decided that she had to take a picture because it is just so crazy how many there are.
I counted 11 toddlers and 11 of the 18″. WHOA! Now I have 12 of the toddlers and 12 of the 18″ 😛
If I keep getting dolls, pretty soon they are gonna end up sleeping on the floor! They are all totally squished in their beds right now. Poor little things- LOL!
How many dolls do you have? Where do they sleep?

Christmas Pictures!
Today I took the girls to get their Christmas photos taken! I think they turned out SO cute!
Here are my 4 oldest girls, Annika, Addy, Josefina, and Felicity.
My 3 middle girls, Kirsten, Saige, and Kanani.
And my four youngest, Caroline, Cecile, Marie-Grace, and Rebecca. I also had a few more pictures taken as well.
Annika looking at the giant silver ornament (I think she looks SO pretty here, don’t you?)
Felicity and Kirsten 🙂
AWWW!!
And last, but not least…
ALL of my girls together!! I absolutely LOVE this! I think I’m going to have it framed, hehe! 😀
Are you going to *take* your dolls to have Christmas photos taken?

A Smart Investment
My mom thought that it would be a good idea to buy Molly and Saige, so she can sell them for more money when they retire. I encouraged the idea because I know how expensive retired dolls are- especially if they are new in box. My mom also bought Molly’s Accessories and I think her Ice Skating Set is on the way, too!
Here they are! I can not tell you how having 2 NEW AG dolls in the house is! Even though I already have Saige and I don’t want Molly, I want to open them!! It has been torturing me for days!! I think the most one I want to open is Molly. And I think it’s because she’s here that I’m actually liking her. I even told my mom, “If you don’t sell them you can give them to me!” LOLOL! 😛
I also never noticed this, but Saige’s box is pink and Molly’s is red. Is it that way with all GOTY and HC dolls?
If you want Molly or Saige after they have retired, remember to keep us in mind! 😉

Meet Mickey and Minnie
Hello, girls!
I just updated the Meet My Dolls page with Mickey and Minnie! Go over there now and meet 2 of the sweetest little things you ever did see 🙂

Saige and Molly Dolls and Items- Sold Out or Back Ordered
I’ve been browsing the AG site and I thought I’d give you all an update of Saige and Molly stuff that is either sold out or back ordered. First we’ll do Saige and her collection.
Saige Doll and Book is back ordered until December 6th.
Saige’s Pajamas are back ordered until December 12th.
Saige’s Necklace for Girls is SOLD OUT.
Molly Doll and Paperback Boxed Set is SOLD OUT.
Molly Boxed Set with Game- Paperback is SOLD OUT.
Molly’s Birthday Set is SOLD OUT.
That’s the last of it! It seems like Molly and her collection are selling out more quickly than Saige and her collection. I honestly expected Saige to sell out first. I guess because I like her better 🙂
Who (including collection) do you think will sell out first? Molly or Saige? Do you plan to purchase any of their collections before they move to the archives?
