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 🙂
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 😉 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
I took this photo of Beth around Christmas time. I think she looks so precious 🙂
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 😉
I played Little House on The Prairie/country a LOT when I was little. Here we have Felicity and Addy doing some mending 😉
Kirsten making some eggs 🙂 (OH MY GOSH HER HAIR!!! :O )
Josefina tending to the baby 🙂
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 🙂
Beth looking all sweet 🙂
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 😉
Well, I hope you enjoyed taking a stroll through memory lane with me! I love having these pictures to look back to 🙂
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 🙂
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!
So true! 😀
Here’s the drawing – you had a chance to win Maryellen’s TV or a Bitty Baby!
Here’s Maryellen’s display!!! YAY!!
I love her collection SO much!! Like seriously – I want a lot of it! LOL
Doesn’t that spot look so empty?? I feel like there should be more there than just Maryellen herself!
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! 😀
Here’s my Maryellen visiting Grace’s La Patisserie 🙂
I just now realized that those are the only Maryellen photos I took…. What is wrong with me?! Ugh!
Oh! LOL! Here’s another picture of her diner! Isn’t it amazing??? 😀
Here’s Julie’s display 🙂
I love this coat so much, like oh my gosh! :O
I also really love this dress! It’s so cute!
What do you think of her new pajamas? I personally like her old ones better, but I think the new ones are still cute 🙂
Samantha’s Gazebo…. Aaaahh! So pretty!!!
The coat… :O I have a thing for coats, jackets, vests, pretty much anything that you wear over something LOL!
Oh, gosh, AG!! Why do you have so many amazingly huge furniture pieces that I want???
Samantha’s display is so full!! She has so much stuff!! (why not make Josefina’s collection a little bigger….)
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…
Like this one!! OMGOSH isn’t it the cutest?! 😀
*Sigh* Poor Josefina. Her collection is so small. I feel like she’s so neglected…. 🙁
Yay! Rebecca!! 😀
This dress is so amazing!
Alright, Addy and Josefina really need some more attention! Their collections are so small compared to the others! 🙁
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 😕 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! 😀
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 🙂
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 🙂
Bella, Ellie, and Snow are being as sweet as can be playing with Licorice 🙂
Belinda is helping Cecile with some school.
And Merida wants Belinda for something…. Probably to help her climb something 😛
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 😉
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 😛
Julie, Kaya, and Samantha are talking 🙂
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 🙂
Jenna doing some things at the vanity 🙂
And Kiara and Caroline are chatting 🙂
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?

Three Sisters, Same Face Mold
Hey everyone! Today I felt like showing the differences between the three dolls I have with the Josefina face mold. I was unable to use Josefina herself because my sister doesn’t want her dolls going outside 😉
So here are my three beautiful dolls with the Josefina face mold!
So here we have Rebecca. She has short curly honey-brown hair, hazel eyes, and feathered eyebrows.
And here is Julie! She has long, straight, light blonde hair, brown eyes, and non feathered eyebrows.
And here we have Riven-Delle (GOTY Grace Thomas)! She has long brown hair with highlights, side swept bangs, blue eyes, freckles, and thicker feathered eyebrows.
Isn’t amazing how all of them are just so different?! I love looking at my dolls and noticing the differences between them!
Julie looks so pretty in this outfit, doesn’t she? 🙂
Beautiful Riven-Delle 🙂
Okay! So here’s what we’re going to do!
We’re going to play a game! I have taken pictures of my Rebecca, Julie, and Riven-Delle, in similar poses….
And I want YOU to think about who takes the picture best, or who is the most photogenic! 😀
Here is the first shot! Will you pick Julie?
Riven-Delle?
Or Rebecca?
Now for the second shot!
Rebecca?
Julie?
Or Riven-Delle?
Onto the third!
Rebecca?
Riven-Delle?
Or Julie?
And now the last one!
Rebecca?
Julie?
Or Riven-Delle? Now for some group pics, and no, these aren’t part of the game 🙂
So sweet! “Alright, girls, I wanna get one more of you two kinda leaning on Julie now.” I said.
Julie, being the silly girl she is, gives Riven-Delle bunny ears and Rebecca can’t help but look and laugh.
“Julie! Were you giving me bunny ears?” Riven-Delle asks with a suspicious smile while Rebecca is bending over laughing. Julie just giggles and says, “Maaayybeee…”
In the next picture, Riven-Delle feels her hair being pulled up. “Hey! Wha- Julie!” Riven-Delle laughs.
And of course, in the next picture Rebecca blinked!
And then Riven-Delle’s hair blew in her face. “Ah pfft!” Riven-Delle spits out her hair.
And at last, I got the perfect picture! 🙂
Then I wanted a picture of just Julie and Riven-Delle 🙂
And as I was trying to get one of Rebecca and Julie, Riven-Delle decides to get Julie back by photo bombing the picture! LOL!
There we are! Another perfect picture! 😀
So how did you enjoy that game? Would you like some more of that?

Riven-Delle’s Welcome~ Part 2
I’m so sorry I haven’t posted this sooner! I really don’t know why I haven’t 😛
Riven-Delle sighed as she looked away from all of the folders and papers on the desk. She had offered to clean it up, but her mind was very distracted.
Rebecca walked by and noticed that Riven-Delle seemed a little sad. “Hey, Delle! Is everything okay?” She asked her sister.
Riven-Delle was startled out of her thoughts. “Oh, yeah, I’m okay. I was just thinking.” She replied.
Rebecca walked over to her sister and placed her hand on her shoulder. “Delle, I’ve been here for almost four years and I’ve gotten a lot of new brothers and sisters since then. I know when something’s bothering somebody.” She said kindly.
Riven-Delle sighed. “Oui, you’re right. It’s Josefina.”
“Oh, I see. She’s making you feel unwelcome and like you just want to leave, right?” Rebecca asked.
Riven-Delle jumped out of her seat. “Exactly! How did you know?” She wondered.
Rebecca walked closer to her and said, “Because I went through the same thing. Josefina was really mean to me when I arrived. She actually made me cry and made me wish I’d never come here. But then I’d think of how nice everybody else is and it helped keep me going. Finally I talked to Lissie about it and she helped out a lot.”
Josefina was just about to enter the room, but she heard Riven-Delle and Rebecca talking, and decided to hide behind the curtain and listen.
“How long did she act that way to you? I’ve been here for almost two weeks now and she’s still being mean and saying horrible things.” Riven-Delle stated.
“I don’t remember exactly. But don’t worry, she’s usually this way to everyone. She’ll realize how she’s being soon and apologize. I guarantee it.” Rebecca said with a comforting smile.
Then Josefina walked up to them. “Riven-Delle, I’m really sorry.” She said sadly.
“I’ve been really mean to you, and it’s not right.” She continued.
“Oui, you have.” Riven-Delle said.
“Josefina, do you really mean that?” Rebecca asked in surprise.
“Yeah, I do.” Josefina replied.
“I understand if you don’t want to forgive me. I’ve said some unforgivable things to you, but really, I don’t hate your language, I think it’s really cool! I was just jealous cause you can speak your language so well, and I can only say a few words of mine. And I don’t think your coat is ugly, or think that Paris is dumb. It was all just jealousy. And I was annoyed that you came so soon after Jenna, I didn’t think it was fair to her. So I just want you to know, that I am really, really, sorry.” Josefina apologized sincerely.
Rebecca was so happy to hear that Josefina was apologizing! In her heart, she knew that she and Riven-Delle would get along great after this.
Riven-Delle walked up to Josefina and gave her a big hug. “Of course I forgive you, Josefina!”
The End
Do your dolls get jealous?

What are your thoughts on the release? What was your favorite new item?
~Jaclynn~
P.S. SO sad that Josefina got NOTHING new 🙁
Riven-Delle’s Welcome~ Part 1
Yes, I know it’s been a while since I got Riven-Delle, but I wanted to show you all what happened the day she arrived 🙂
Josefina let out a long sigh. “I can’t believe we’re already getting another sister!! Jenna just arrived! That isn’t fair to her!” Josefina complained.
“I know, this is really soon, but mommy said that this girl really needed help. The orphanage called and asked if mommy would take her in.” Annika explained.
“Yes, that’s true. Although I feel a little bit awkward about getting another sister so soon, I’m trying to stay positive.” Jenna said, who always liked to be positive and look on the bright side.
“You should feel awkward! I bet you’re not even used to all of us yet, and just a week later you have to welcome a new sister.” Josefina said. She was always annoyed to get a new brother or sister and truly believed that I should not adopt anymore.
“Don’t listen to her, Jenna. Mommy loves us all so much, and we all love each other, too.” Annika said with a smile.
“Here she comes…” Josefina said with a sigh.
“Girls, this is your new sister, Riven-Delle. I’ll be right back. I think I heard Caleb and Kendra yelling, so I’m assuming they’re fighting, but this is a good opportunity for you to get to know one another.” I said, smiling, and hurried off to check on the twins.
“Bonjour!” Riven-Delle said excitedly. She was so happy to see such nice looking girls her own age, and she loved knowing that she belonged to a family once again.
“Hi! My name is Annika. Did you have a nice trip here?” Annika inquired.
“Oui!” Riven-Delle replied.
“Do you speak any English?” Josefina asked, feeling annoyed.
“Oh, yes, sorry. I lived in Paris my entire life, so I’m still getting used to using the English words more often.” Riven-Delle explained through her French accent.
“Well, could you get used to it a little more quickly so I know what you’re saying?” Josefina asked. “Josefina!” Annika shouted, knowing her sister’s temper.
Riven-Delle didn’t know what to say to that, so she just stared at her with confusion.
“Don’t worry about using your French here, Riven-Delle. I think it would be neat to hear some more! Maybe you could even teach us!” Annika encouraged and Riven-Delle smiled.
“Yeah, that would be so much fun!” Jenna exclaimed.
“Oh, my! Your accent – is it Irish?” Riven-Delle asked, fascinated by Jenna’s accent.
“Yeah, it is! Your coat is so amazing! It’s so fashionable! Samantha will love it, too!” Jenna poured out her compliments.
“In fact, let’s show her right now!” Jenna said and began dragging her away. “Oh, okay! I’ll talk to you two later! Au Revoir!” Riven-Delle said as she slowly disappeared into the bedroom.
Annika giggled and Josefina smirked.
“Well, she seems nice!” Annika said. “She uses her French too much. She’s just trying to show off.” Josefina stated.
“I don’t think she’s showing off at all! She’s from Paris, so she’s used to using French.” Annika said.
Josefina thought for a minute and then said, “Hm. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see…”
That ends part 1! 😀
Do your dolls ever get tired of getting new sisters?

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! 😛
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 🙂 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 😉
Who is in your American Girl Doll family?

Frozen Fractals~ Part 4
Yes, it’s finally here! If you would like to be refreshed by what is going on- go read the previous parts by clicking here 🙂
I went on my way to seek out Aldera, the woman who had cursed Eiden when he was little. And then I found her, smack in the middle of nowhere. “Why, Elexa, long time no see. Last I saw you, you were only 5 years old.” Aldera greeted.
“Enough of the fake kindness, Aldera, I need to speak with you, about Eiden…” I finished softly.
Aldera’s face turned cold. “I can’t bring him back, dear, if that’s what you want.”
“Oh, I think you can. Please, I already caused my father’s death, I don’t want to be responsible for Eiden’s, too!” I cried. Aldera smirked and then laughed. “You foolish girl! Your brother isn’t dead, he’s asleep and that curse can never be broken.” I looked at her in surprise. “But, if you made the curse, can’t you undo it?” I asked.
“I could, but I don’t want to. Your brother destroyed my castle and that took away almost all of my powers! If I were ever to break that curse, I would need to receive something very special and useful to me in return. Which considering why you ran away, I know you won’t give that.” Aldera stated.
“No, I will! I’ll give you anything you want!” I said hopefully.
A little grin spread across Aldera’s face. “Anything?” She asked.
“Anything. All I want is my brother back. What do you want?” I inquired.
“I want- your powers.” Aldera said while smiling.
“Wh- what do you want with my powers?” I asked.
Aldera stepped more closely to me and whispered, “You’ve heard the tale of Snow White, of course. Well that queen wanted to be the fairest of them all, but I want to be the most powerful of them all. If you give me your powers, I will bring your brother back.” I thought hard before replying then asked, “No one will get hurt, will they?” Aldera looked surprised and said, “Why, of course not! I would never dream of it! Do we have a deal?” What I didn’t notice was that she was crossing her fingers behind her back.
I held out my hands and sighed. “Deal.”
And with a wide grin, Aldera removed my powers.
When they were removed, I felt weak, and it caused me to fall to the floor.
“Oh, don’t worry. That’s bound to happen after having your powers removed. You’ll wake up, just as soon as I get rid of you.” She said and with a wave of her wrist-
-I was transported back to my ice palace.
“Eiden!” I yelled as I noticed him still lying on the floor.
“Eiden, are you alright? Wake up!” I said as I shook his shoulder.
“Elexa? Wh- what happened?” Eiden asked as he began to sit up.
“It’s okay. I gave up my powers to Aldera so she would bring you back.” I explained.
“Y- you gave up your powers for me? But, the reason you left is because you didn’t want your powers taken away.” Eiden said, confused.
“I know, but you’re my brother, and you mean more to me than any magical power in the world.” I said with a smile.
Eiden embraced me in his best brotherly hug. Then Eiden said, “Come on, let’s go home and see Mother.”
That’s the end of Part 4! Look for Part 5 coming soon! 😀

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!!!! 😀
Now, after dying for an hour (no joke) I am FINALLY ready to share my thoughts over everything with you!!!
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!! 😀 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 😕
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 🙂
Samantha’s Bicycling Outfit is $34. It’s cute, but I don’t think it’s all that great. 😉
Samantha’s Nightgown is $24 and very cute! I love those little slippers!

Samantha’s Hairstyling Set is $22. It’s a very cute set! I love the hat and the little hairbrush! It’s so cute and chubby! LOL 😛
Samantha’s Dog, Jip is $22. I like the fluffiness of him, but his face isn’t very cute… 😕
Samantha’s Bedtime Accessories is $44- That bear looks an awful like Bitty Bear…. Ugh, AG….
This set isn’t that great in my opinion, but the music box is cool! I like that it really works! 🙂
Samantha’s Bicycle is $115 and I LOVE it!! I love the colors and just everything about it!! SO cute! 😀
Samantha’s Bed & Bedding is $150 and so GORGEOUS!! 😀
Samantha’s Ice Cream Parlor is $300 and I NEED IT!! It’s SO ADORABLE!! I LOVE the cash register!! I’m dying over this set!!! This is probably my favorite of the entire release!!! 😀
Addy Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. Addy’s new outfit is SO pretty! I love the dark blue on her! And that little patchwork bag is adorable!!
Addy’s School Outfit is $34. At first I wasn’t sure what I thought about this, but I think it’s really cute!! 😀
Addy’s Lunch Pail is $28. I love that it even has the “love” cookies!!! That’s so adorable!!! 😀

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

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 😉 😛
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’s Winter Coat & Hat is $34 and I am DYING over this!!!! I really think my dolls need that coat!! 😀

Julie’s Egg Chair Set is $100 and I think it’s adorable!!! And that’s so cool that you can really play music through it!!!

Pow-Wow Hair Set of Today is $18. I’m not too interested in this 😛
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 😛
Kit’s Reporter Dress is $38 and I think it’s pretty cute! 🙂
Kit’s Photographer Outfit is $34. I am really in love with that sweater, but I definitely wouldn’t buy the outfit 😉
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!! 😀
Rebecca Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134 and I’m DYING over her new outfit!!! And OMGOSH that HAT!! I need to buy this someday!! 😀
Rebecca’s Holiday Outfit is $34 and again I am DYING!!! That is such a BEAUTIFUL dress!!! 😀
Rebecca’s Teatime Traditions is $68. It’s cute, but that is just way too much money 😛
Rebecca’s Director Set is $75. I LOVE IT!!! That chair is ADORABLE!! And the Megaphone!!
Now, let’s take a look at the Mini Dolls:
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. 😕
Also, there were a few new books released!
Doll Art Studio is $24.95 and it looks so adorable!! I think this kit is officially on my wants list 😛
I also noticed this which is $9.99
And this which is $24.99. 🙂
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! 😀
