Doll Fun Special! NEW Feature Preview!

I am so excited to share with you a preview of a NEW feature on my blog! It will officially begin on August 1, 2011!

 

Now you probably want to know exactly what this new feature is all about, so I will tell you. :)

This new feature is called Doll Fun Special and it will be all about things you can do with/for your doll!

For example, I might post a tutorial on how to do a doll hair style or on how to make different things for your doll! I may eventually even be able to post more videos as well.

Other examples of things you could find on this feature include:
-Sewing ideas,
-Tips
-Photography Tricks
-Crafts
-and MUCH MORE!

After I have posted a tutorial on how to do something, you can try doing it yourself! Then, if you want to, you can take a picture of what you created and send it to me in an email to agfan2010@aol.com and I can upload your picture/s on my blog if you want.

These special posts will happen at least every first day of the month, so the first one will start Monday August 1, 2011! If for some reason I cannot post on the first day of the month, they will just get posted as soon as I can. Of course I may also do these types of posts more frequently than once a month if I have enough time. :)

I am still debating on whether to make a separate page for it on my blog or to just post it regularly. What do you think? Either way I will let you know.

I just planned a fun post for the first Doll Fun Special and I am really looking forward to sharing it with you on August 1st!

Blog Help!

I have a blog question to ask you all. For some reason my header picture keeps going black after a few seconds every time I visit my blog. It will appear normally and then just turn black so that you cannot see the picture. Do any of you know how to fix this problem? Have any of you been having this issue? Thanks for your help! :)

Kirsten and Charlotte's Photoshoot on a Rainy Day

It has been raining for quite some time today and I have been rather bored. I decided to take a photoshoot of Kirsten and Charlotte! I barely have any photos of Kirsten on my blog, so I thought you might like to see some pictures of her!

I used a white poster board for the background. I got the idea from Karalee @ My View of the World.

Who would you like me to have in a photoshoot next? What have you and your dolls been up to?

I have a lot of fun and interesting things planned for this week, so stay tuned! :)

P.S. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY! Be sure to check it out soon!

Peach Picking and Reminder

Today, my sister, brother-in-law, little nephews and I went peach picking at an orchard! It was really fun and a nice family outing!

There were so many peaches! We picked some white and yellow peaches and now we are waiting for them to ripen. I think I want to make some peach cobbler!

We have also been having a GIANT HEAT WAVE!! It was one hundred twelve degrees on Friday and then it dropped suddenly to seventy five degrees during a random rain storm within like ten minutes. Now it is back up in the high nineties and early hundreds.

Have you ever been to an orchard and picked fruit? Has it been really hot where you live?

Also, I want to remind you all that tommorow is the last day to enter my giveaway! (See below for full details.) The winner will be announced on Tuesday!

Thank you also to all my sixty four followers! I have tried to make sure I have followed your blogs too, but if for some reason I have not, and you would like me to follow yours, you can email me at agfan2010@aol.com.

Oh and this is kind of off topic, but I got my braces off! After having them for a second time, I am finally finished! Hooray! LOL

Anyway I hope you all are having a wonderful summer! :)

My New Signature!

I wanted to give a BIG THANK YOU to Priya @ American Girl Playground!!! :) She made me a new signature for my blog!!
