Back to School Giveaway & More!!!!

Hey everyone! :)

Today, I went back to school! I am a sophmore (10th grader)! I visted all my different classes for a few minutes and met all my teachers. I got my picture taken and got a new locker! I also got to see all my friends and have an ice cream party! It was a lot of fun, but very busy! They didn't really give us any homework the first day, but that will change soon.....

These are all the classes I'm taking:

Algebra 2, Latin 2, Life of Christ, Music Appreciation, Chorus, Modern European History, Chemistry, and English

I will also be taking Irish dance outside to school to count for my P.E. credit, as well as piano! I may possibly take ballet on Saturday and some other time too! So, as you can see, I will be very busy during the school week.

SOOO..... to celebrate the start of school, I'm having another giveaway!!!!!!! :) YAY! :)

I had a poll up and Handmade Doll Clothing and Doll School Supplies tied, so I decided to give away doll school supplies because everyone (including dolls) is going back to school! :) I will give away some handmade doll clothing probably for Fall or Winter.

YOU could win these doll sized school supplies for FREE!

Here is how you can enter! :)

1. You must have a parent's permission.

2. Comment below with your name/nickname, email, and your favorite school subject.

(If you aren't allowed to post your email here, you can email me if you win.)

You will have one week until Tuesday, September 7, 2010 to enter!

On Wednesday, September 8, I will put all the names of the people who entered in a bowl, mix them up, and pull one out without looking. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 8, 2010!

I would love it if you could enter!

Have you gone back to school yet? What is your favorite thing about going back to school?

Happy Back to School! :D

P.S. I have updated my Award Application page for September, so you may want to check it out! ;)

Charlotte & Coconut!

Hello everyone! :)

I recently took some pictures of Charlotte and Coconut for AGC Round, Escape! I think they turned out pretty well! :)

It was a sunny day...... :D And Coconut decided to escape from Charlotte with her leash!

Now Charlotte has to catch her!

"Coconut, come back!"

After much running, a very tired, Charlotte eventually caught the running Coconut.

"Aha! I caught... you.. Coconut!" "Ruff!" "Ruff!"

THE,

END

P.S. Which was your favorite picture?

Sad News about Felicity & Elizabeth

Hi everyone,

I just found out some sad news. American Girl is retiring Felicity and Elizabeth next. :(  There is a little button

on their page that says. "Soon we'll say goodbye to Felicity." It seems like every year American Girl retires another historical character. First Samantha, then Kirsten, and now Felicity and Elizabeth. If you remember, a few years ago they retired Felicity and brought her back along with a movie and a new collection. Now they want to retire her again. :( Felicity was my first doll, so I am very sad to see her go. :( This probably

means another doll will take her place, but I personally think they should keep Felicity & Elizabeth. I

also think they should bring Samantha AND Kirsten back! I don't know why American Girl keeps doing this every year. What do you think about this? I wonder if they'd change their mind, if many many girls wrote a letter to them.......

Felicity is just too cute, how could they retire her?

I also have poll going on right now, which I'd love for you to vote on! I will give away which ever item/s get the most votes for a Fall or Back to School giveaway! I've also been thinking of having a doll contest with a doll related prize! What do you think?

The other videos will come soon too!

Doll Sized Notebooks!

Hey! :)

Today my mom and I went... Back to School Shopping!!!! It seems like everyone is doing that. I wonder why. :D LOL I also got a haircut, which I LOVE! (Two inches off, styled, angled, curled, and layered!)

Anyway, we went to Staples, which by the way, is having awesome sales right now like 1 cent notebooks and copy paper! I was looking through the sale booklet and saw mini composition notebooks for 50 cents! I decided to get some for my dolls! I was searching through all the supplies and found these!

Purple and Green with flowers!

They are so cool!

Chrissa loves her notebooks! :D

Thanks for reading!

The makeup bag I made for my mom as a birthday present!

I also made name pillows for my two nephews, but I didn't take pictures of those.
