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!

Circle of meditation!!!

Hairstyles for Dolls with Short Hair

I thought I'd do some hairstyles, since they're the second most wanted thing on my poll. My sister graciously let me borrow Kit for some hairstyles for you guys out there with short-haired dolls. I did a bunch of cute hairstyles. 

Here's Kit- ready to try a few hairstyles! 

Small Side Pony- This hairstyle is very simple but cute. This everyday hairstyle will keep your doll's hair out of her face but still keep it neat.

Two Small Side Ponies- For a fun, playful hairstyle, do this! I personally think this hairstyle is adorable on Kit.

Two Side Ponytails- A classic hairstyle, Kit looks adorable! 

Ponytail with Hair in Front- Don't see this too much on Kit, do you? It's pretty difficult to get her hair in a ponytail, but when you do, Kit looks very grown- up.

Two Braids on Side Joined on Bottom- This is very easy to do and very unique. Kit really likes to wear this hairstyle on days when she wants to look a bit nicer than most days.

Side French Braid- A more difficult hairstyle, Kit wears this when she has more time to do her hair in the morning. She wears it when she cleans the house; it keeps the hair out of her face without looking messy, but rather the opposite!

 Messy Side Braids- Since Kit's hair is so short, she can only have small side braids and making them messy makes them look cool.

Personally, Kit's favorite hairstyle is the Small Side Pony. She likes how simple and easy it is to do. She can put a cute flower, barrette, or ribbon on top of the ponytail holder to make it look more fashionable.

If you want to know how to do any of these hairstyles, just post a comment! I'd be happy to do a post showing you how.

Kit and I hope you enjoyed these hairstyles and want to try them out. If you do, I'd love to see! Send me an email at marisasamericangirls@gmail.com. 

Happy Hairstyling,

Thanksgiving Day 2013

It was Thanksgiving day, and the house was bustling with excitement...

With Josefina and Kanani in the kitchen,

Liz and Kit setting the table,

 and Julie and Natalie chatting away.

 "Well, the green beans are ready," said Kanani as she walked into the dining room.

"So is the corn," Josefina told them as she brought it in.

 When Josefina went back into the kitchen, she saw Kanani staring at her pie. "This looks good, Josefina!" she told her. "Thanks!" Josefina replied. "I'm going to put it in the oven when the turkey's ready." Kanani replied, "I think it should be ready now."

"Yep! Here it is! Doesn't it look good?" Kanani said as she took it out of the oven.

 "Yum! I can't wait to eat it."

 "Here's our royal bird!" Kanani joked as she took the turkey in and set it on the table.

 As Kanani set the turkey down, Kit said, "Half of our Thanksgiving buffet is ready! But we can't eat yet!"

 As Julie and Natalie were talking, suddenly Natalie's eyes widened. "I...SMELL...TURKEY!!!" She started running into the dining room.

 "Stop!" Kanani ordered. She stopped Natalie right before she ran into the table! "Sometimes you are just too crazy, Natalie..."

Kanani was just about to go back to the kitchen when Josefina walked in. "Here's the pie." "Good, now I just need to get the cranberry sauce and then we can eat. Make sure everyone's ready by the time I get back. Our food'll get cold if we wait any longer."

"Hey, Josefina," Liz said, "the pie you made looks really good." "Thanks, Liz. It's cherry pie," came the reply.

"Here's the cranberry sauce! Time to eat, everyone!" said Kanani as she brought the bowl in and set it down.

 "Hooray! I'm so hungry!" exclaimed Julie.

All the dolls gathered around the table to pray, then ate their Thanksgiving feast. They all could agree that this was the best Thanksgiving they had ever had; they were all together as great friends.

I hope you and your dolls enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving,
