Photos from an Aspiring Photographer

As you all know, my sister has 3 dolls. A couple of weekends ago, she decided to try a photoshoot with her dolls. We all really liked the pictures, and she wanted me to share them with you. Enjoy! (Be sure to read the captions!)

This is her favorite! My sister titles it "Neon Lights" because she likes that song.

There's sophisticated Josefina and cute Natalie!

And there's Kit, taking the picture you saw above!

Kit and Natalie do love their doggies!

Naughty girls... stealing your human's bed! ;)

They're playing hide-and-seek and Kit is counting.

Fun!

BFFs!

Yep... Natalie's pretty flexible.

Huddle!

Isn't this picture cool?

If you see behind him, you will see that Pepper had a little mess.

She made a cute little background for some simple shots... cute! This is Natalie.

Josefina...

Kit!

Dreaming

Circle of meditation!!!

Natalie...

Josefina...

Kit...

That's all the pictures! Did you like them? Which one was your favorite?

Monthly Doll Finds: January!

Well, new year, new items! I've got some fun ones for this month's edition of Monthly Doll Finds.

Isn't this awesome?!?! I found this adorable doll-sized guitar at Kmart today in the Christmas section. It was originally a Christmas tree ornament, but it was easy to remove the string and VIOLA! All the Christmas stuff was 70% off, so I got this for $1.50!!! I just love it!

Here's a better picture of it. The detailing on it is great, just perfect for a stopmotion! I'm already thinking of some ideas... MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Sorry, it's kind of hard to see this. My mom bought some Chapstick and it came in this cute container. I think I could use it for anything for dolls, like cover it with wrapping paper and use it for a box of candy or something. Comment below some ideas!!!

BLING! Like my bling box? I got it from my Secret Santa when we did it at school. I think I'll use it for doll hair accessories or something like that. You can never go wrong with boxes!

Hope you enjoyed this month's doll finds!

Marisa's American Girls Reader Survey 2014

I saw some other people were making polls on their blogs to see how they could improve their blogs in 2014, and I thought it would be a good idea. Please take a couple minutes to complete this poll that I made especially for my blog. I hope to use the results to make my blog a more fun place for American Girl fans of all ages.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!

2013 was a great year for me. As you probably know, I started my blog in July. I gradually gained followers, and got more and more views. To all you followers and readers, thank you so much for making it a great first year!

Over 2013, I got 21 followers. I would like to thank all of you followers individually. Thank you so much- I couldn't have done it without your support and participation!

Thank you! 

This year, I know that my amount of followers will increase, so I'd like to set a goal for the amount of followers to get this year. Of course I can't guarantee anything, but I can hope! My goal for followers this year is... 50! It would be great if I got more, but I don't expect it. 

It's a new year- for new improvements on my blog! I'd like to continue to make my blog better- and the only way I can do that is to find out what my readers want. Leave a comment telling me what kind of things you'd like to see on my blog this year. 

And every AG fan knows that every 1st of January brings... a new Girl of the Year! This year it's Isabelle Palmer (which we knew way before she came out). You've seen the multiple posts (How many? Three?) that I've done on her with my opinions and you probably figured that I would get her (I kind of said that, didn't I?). Well, yeah, I am! I can't get her right away, though- I'm buying her with my own money, so I have to save up! I got some money for Christmas, so I'll be putting some of that towards Isabelle. You'll be able to see my savings go up in the side bar- I'll have a section (probably at the top) that will tell you how much I have so far. I might be able to get her as early as May... but we'll see. 

About posts coming up...

I promised a post with the stuff I got for Christmas, so that will be coming up later this week.

Also, I need to do Outfit of the Week for this week since we were in Georgia on Sunday and I didn't have anything for it. That'll be coming too, but it might be next Sunday instead.

Since there's a new doll, of course you must see my opinion of her collection and the doll herself... so there'll be an MDT on Isabelle!

Yeah, since we were in Georgia, of course I have pictures! I'll show you those, too, if you'd like.

Oh, yes! I have 22 followers... so that means... I need to have that contest I promised! Keep an eye out for that!

That's about it for today's post! I hope you had a wonderful New Years' Day and that the rest of your 2014 is absolutely dolltastic! I look forward to making those improvements for my blog and seeing where my blog will take me this year! 

Happy New Year!

Love,

Marisa and her American Girls <3
