Rollerblades!!

Hi everyone!! Sunday was absolutely beautiful!! The sky was blue and the sun was as bright as ever. Everything looked beautiful in the sunlight!!! I decided to do some rollerblading and figured we might as well take pictures while I was at it.

 I really like the second to last one. You can kind of see Hannah in the reflection of the helmet. The ones of me carrying my bin with my helmet and rollerblades are pretty awesome too. I got the bins at target as two for one dollar. They are really nice bins and I like them a lot. They would look cute as a slide-under-the-bed bin.
Thanks for reading!!!

Polls and Such...

So, what is up with the polls??? I came up with a new system for things to run smoothly.

• The polls will be changed when someone leaves a comment suggesting a new question, and at least four, maximum of six, possible choices. Each poll will be up for at least one week. If there are no questions that have been suggested, I will write that in a post, and the poll will be up until a new one is suggested.
• Feel free to leave multiple questions, or suggest a new one if your poll is still up. I will post the questions in a first come, first posted order, but please be considerate of others and do not send me twenty.  :)
• Please leave your question in the form of a comment, preferably on the most recent post. I will not approve it so that it remains private until I post it. You will not be able to see that I have gotten your comment. If there are any worries, please leave another comment and I will reply to that one. 
• I will not post the results, only the new question. If you vote, the poll box then displays the result. If you would like to see the results of a poll, please leave a comment before I close the poll, and I will be sure to post the results.

This week's question is from Melody Q., author of teatimewithmelodyq.blogspot.com. Thanks Melody for your question!!!

Hi Again!!!

Hi everyone,
First off, I am so sorry for my absence on the blog. I participate in Science Olympiad at my school and meeting four times a week and preparing for the state competition, doing homework, and life in general sapped up my energy. I will try to write more here, but in the meantime, this is what i have enjoyed doing...

1) I built a loft bed!!! Of course it was for my doll, and not me, but pictures to come soon. 

2) Debating on what glasses to buy for my doll. The raspberry glasses that I had broke after a few too many face-plants while I was trying to do my doll's hair, and I have been thinking about buying the sweet peach glasses. I just want to wait to see if the will go on sale, but the bitty baby sale has been extended for the billionth time. I have heard that bitty baby clothes fit the 18" dolls quite well, so if you see something you like- a lot of stuff is 30% off.

Thank you so much for all of your continued support!!! Check back soon for pictures of the loft bed and much more too!!!

AG Spring Release!!!

It's what we've all been waiting for!! The AG spring release!! I advise you take a look around their website and check out the catalog- whether it be one you got in the mail, the one on the website, or the one from the app! Keep reading for my personal favorites!!! 

 $28

The Easy Breezy outfit has a very fun and fresh look with great colors!! I like that it is a halter top and not just another sleeveless shirt. The colors compliment each other, and I really love the whole outfit. I am just unsure about the prints on the shirt. But for the awesome price of $28, it is veryyy tempting!!!

$28

I really like the cycling outfit, especially because my aunt has recently gotten into riding her recumbent tricycle (not a little kid trike, a very high-tech recumbent trike) and has shorts just like this. I am also happy that this is only $28!! Yay!!! The colors are similar to the colors of the running outfit,

and they also remind me of the colors that Lance Armstrong wore. With all of his bad publicity lately it is bad for AG, because he used to be a heroic figure to many people. Oh, and look who is modeling it!!

  trail bike- $100

pet trailer- $48

These are both super cute and I really love the pet trailer, but nooooo, return of the HUGE prices!!!  Otherwise, I am so glad they made a modern bike again and the pet trailer is such a cute accessory.

What are your favorites??? Iman and I would love to know!!! Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts, and have a great Valentines Day!!!!

Sweetheart Skirt Set!

Wow,it has been a long time from the last time I blogged!! Sorry! As Valentines Day is coming up, I wanted to show everyone the retired 2007 Sweetheart Skirt Set. It came with a white sleeveless top with eyelet lace and hot pink ribbon details, a pink skirt with hot pink embroidered flowers, pink crocheted espadrilles, two hot pink heart hair clips, a hot pink purse, and a pink scarf. When I got this at age 7 my favorite part was the pink espadrilles. I received the outfit for Easter one year and almost immediately the stitching that held the shoe straps in a criss-cross shape broke. I was devastated but thankfully my mom sewed it back together. When the other pieces broke in the back she fixed them too. Thanks Mom!! Anyway, I think I only have one original tie remaining. Now for the pictures...

 

the scarf, I personally like it better without the scarf

 Hairstyle... two mini braids clipped together on the back of the head...

 

And finally a special valentines day shout-out to my bff!!! Luv ya always!!! 

Thanks for reading!!! Keep checking back for more posts!!!

Tea Time With Melody Q!!!

Wow, what a busy week!!! First a big school competition on Saturday, and a huge swim meet today. Sorry for the lack of posting!!! Anyways, I have been following this blog for a while and thought I would focus on it instead of this weeks Saturday Sites. Tea Time With Melody Q is a blog about the life of Melody. Melody is a big tea drinker and also gives good suggestions on teas to drink.

If you like Doll Diaries Throwback Thursdays then you will love this blog so much. I really enjoy looking at all of the older outfits as well as the newer ones. Be sure to stop by and leave a comment or two. Also, right now if you leave a comment you can suggest an outfit to wear made of different pieces. Click here to visit Tea Time With Melody Q!!!  By the way, does anyone want to see the contents of the Marie-Grace treasure tote??? Let me know so I can do a review on that if so. Thanks so much everyone for reading this looong ramble. Bye!!

Sleep with Style: Pigtails

Hello everyone!!! I will do a post soon with a site that I am currently following. In the meantime, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!!! Is anyone having a sleepover tonight if you have tomorrow off from school??? If so, then here are some cute styles that will flatter any doll's face and make her look adorable!!! These styles should work on a doll with any hair length, too!!!

This is the start for all of the styles:

Divide the hair into two even sections, I find it hard to get a good looking part on a doll so I didn't worry about it too much!!

Pull the hair over her shoulder and brush it out so it is even and not all funky!!

Secure with a hairband of some sort, I used clear elastics but anything will do!!! The closer the band is to the head, the tighter the pigtail!!!

Repeat on the other side and style it with your hands to make it look natural!!!

So cute!!! This is what you start with for all of the styles!!

Another option is to section out a small piece of hair, braid it, and add it to the pigtail. Then take out the hairband on the braid and gently separate the braid up to the main hair elastic.

Or braid the pigtail for a classic braided pigtail!!

Cute!!!

The last option is to unbraid the braid...

secure the two that are the farthest away from the face...

do a crown braid on the one section closest to the face and tie it off with a hair elastic... (click here for how to do McKenna's crown braid)

And braid it with the other two sections for a fancier braided pigtail!!!!

Don't worry too much about the part as I find it hard to get it to look good...

Oops... if you are doing a loose braid this may happen, and if it bothers you braid the pigtail tighter. Otherwise, just ignore it!! We all have had bad bed-head!!!

Well, it looks as if Licorice needs just ONE more scratch behind her ear before bed... My favorite style has to be the pigtails with the small braid added in!! 

Thanks for reading this extremely long post and have fun with these hairstyles!!!

P.S. Thanks to my cool friend Megan for hosting an awesome sleepover last month where I made the owl blanket that serves as my background!!

Runaway Pup Part 2!!!

Hello everyone!! I hope everything is going well as we all resume our normal schedules. Ah, the dreaded return of homework has happened!! Noooo!!!!! Anyway, as promised, these are the rest of the screenshots from AG's app, Runaway Pup!!!! (Click here for Runaway Pup part 1!!!!)

 I could see a younger child under the age of 6 LOVING this game. I personally found most of the games boring. It all depends on the age of who is playing it and their likes. I got it because for an American Girl item I will pay $2.99, even if it is a bad app. I would have liked it better had it been free. It is up to you whether or not you like this app, I guess. By the way, my brother has enabled comments on his blog For Lego Lunatics. 

Sorry that it took so long to get part 2 up!!!
