Goodbye 2011!

Happy New Years Eve! I am so excited for tonight! :)

I want to thank all of my 100 followers and other blog friends! Thank you to my 100th follower Ashlyn! It is so special to have many wonderful followers like you! What a great New Years present! (As promised, I will be having a 100 Followers Giveaway, which will be posted very soon!)

This has been such a great year and I have had so much fun with you all! It has been a big year for me too, with driving, the PSAT, the many hours of homework as a Junior, getting my braces off, and...blogging!

I hope you enjoyed all my Doll Fun Specials, contests, Fall Scavenger Hunts, giveaways, the Christmas Photo Gallery, the polls, awards, crafts, and my other doll related posts of 2011!

I hope to have many more fun activities for you in 2012! Some things I have planned to do are an Easter Contest, Easter Scavenger Hunt, Summer Photo Gallery, and of course... more giveaways, Doll Fun Specials, other contests, and so much more!

Only a few more hours until 2012 and McKenna! What are you doing to celebrate! I am going to hang out with my family and eat yummy food!

Thank you all again!

P.S. The Doll Fun Special will be a little late because I will be busy with the 100 Followers Giveaway. (Can you guess what I am giving away?)

Doll Fun Special # 5: Holiday Hairstyle

Hello everybody!

Happy December! I have some exciting holiday themed things planned for you this month, including a giveaway!

My first thing for you is a holiday themed Doll Fun Special!

For this hairstyle, you will need a brush, pretty ribbon, and small ponytail holders!

To begin, gather a small strand of hair on each side and braid it. Then tie them each with hair elastics and tie them together with a ribbon.

It should look something like this when you're finished!

This is a cute hairstyle, perfect for your dolls during Chistmas or New Years with a fancy dress!

Header Picture?

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all of your comments!! I have recently received a comment about my header picture. The problem is that Blogger doesn't make the picture any bigger when I upload it. It always uploads it as that size. My previous header pictures would upload as the larger size though. ??? I would like to make my header picture bigger... The quick editing button disappeared as well, even though the yes choice is selected. I also have to sign out and sign in to comment. Have any of you ever had this problems? Do you how to fix them?

Hot Chocolate/Coffee for your Doll!

Hot chocolate and coffee are delicious drinks, especially during the winter time and holidays! Have you ever wondered how to make some for your dolls?

It is a simple craft, you can easily do!

You will need a mini cup, scissors, glue/tape, and some brown paper!

Cut out a small strip of brown paper big enough to fit in a small doll sized cup.

Shape the brown paper into a cylinder and tape/glue into cup! Then give it to your doll!

She will be sure to love her "hot chocolate" or "coffee!"

P.S. Check back soon for a holiday giveaway, Doll Fun Special, new awards, and MORE! (If I can reach 100 followers, I will have a second giveaway in addition to the holiday giveaway!!!!!)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Rebecca, Millie, and Chrissa are thankful for their family, friends, and food!

Thank you all for being such great followers! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Be on the lookout for a future giveaway and more! (I am sorry I haven't been able to post lately. I have been so busy and my camera seems to be having an issue, but luckily I think I just need a new charger battery. )

Happy Thanksgiving!

Doll Fun Special # 4! Treat Bag for Dolls!

Happy Halloween!

I decided to post the Doll Fun Special one day early because it is Halloween themed.

I put together a fun little craft for you!

A Doll's Treat Bag

Materials: A small bag, stickers/decorations, craft foam, clay, toothpick, candy box, and playfood.

 

The Bag: Decorate the small bag with fall decorations!

How to Make the Candy: Cut out small brown rectangles and add a decorative strip around the candy bar. I got mine from the Doll Party Book. Shape a circular shape of colorful clay and stick a toothpick into it for the lollipop! You can also use a clean mini candy box and playfood for candy.

Your doll will be sure to love her treat bag!

Have fun making it! Happy Halloween!

P.S. Thank you to all my 91 followers! As promised, I will have a giveaway! (In the next couple of weeks)
