Congradulations!

Disclaimer: I know this is late.

Hello you!

Whether you graduated from preschool, kindergarten, 5th grade, 8th grade, high school, college, grad school, beauty school, whatever, CONGRATS!

This year has thrown us all for a loop.  Everyone is missing something.  These milestones don’t seem as special.  The world is scary.

This is the time given to you, the hand you’re dealt.  You can see what really matters.  You have worked for this accomplishment.  You have lived.  I think you deserve the world.  I think of you.  I hope you have many new beginnings and appreciate the everyday.

Since I can’t give you that, here’s a picture of Julia in a grad cap that my friend gave me from her grad party!

P.S. A man on a bike smiled at me today.  Little things do make a difference!!!  You matter!

Need an AG Book Fix?

Hello!

This is so sweet- American Girl is offering free downloads of some of their books on their website!  The characters have been through tough times in American history, too.

It looks like they have Beforever and mystery books, plus more each week!

What will you read next?

Following the Trends: Think Spring!

Hello everybody!

It is Julia here!  Spring has sprung, or it was supposed to.  *glares at snow* Anyway, spring styles are definitely here!

Have you read this delightful post about spring fashion?  If not, hop on over and then come back.

Did you do it?

All right!  It was full of great ideas for spring fashion, and now I will apply them to my wardrobe!

(Nellie here.  It’s our wardrobe.)

Hey!  Everything is communal when you have sisters!

*Sigh.* Jasmine from DWOD has such fashion sense.  I want to use all her ideas!

(Nellie again.  All at once?)

Of course!  Let’s see…

Okay, so Nellie was right.  I can’t possibly apply every tip in a single outfit with our wardrobe.

(Thank you.)

Moving on!

WIN_20200418_16_10_23_Pro (2)

So, here I am!  The tips I used, in order:

  1. Florals – well, there are little flowers on the skirt.  It counts!
  2. Light Dresses – no, unless I could wear one on top like a petticoat…
  3. Sandals – yes, with little bows and everything!
  4. Half-updos – yes, my Celtic Knot hairstyle is still miraculously intact from a month ago, and if IrishAG would think of changing it once in a while… moving on!
  5. Updos – well, my hairstyle sort of prevents this
  6. Pale colors – this shirt is my all-time favorite, full of nostalgic AGP memories… and coincidentally, is light pink.
  7. Shorts – nope, a skirt is what I have!
  8. Bracelets – no, my bracelets are not the right colors for this outfit.  Maybe I should make one…
  9. Doll’s color palette – this is a great idea, and I wish IrishAG would do this for me!  I think I look best in delicate and saturated shades, but my skin tone is hard to match things with sometimes.
  10. Lace – sadly, I have none.  Nellie has some from Ireland, but wouldn’t let me use it because it is torn.  😦

And there we have it!  I hope my outfit meets Jasmine’s approval!  XD

*Gasp* I have no sign-off!  I guess I’ll let IrishAG take over from here.  🙂

Hey everyone!  Hope you are finding things to smile at in these times!!!  Even if it is a little doll post.  🙂  What is your favorite thing about spring?  I LOVE blooming trees!  Even thinking about them makes me smile.

Something Cool

On Ag’s website, they posted the most-searched for AG dolls state-by-state.  Apparently, Tenney is making quite a splash in the South!

And here’s a picture, since I couldn’t put AG’s one up!

The weather has been awful for photos lately, and our camera is still having problems.  I’m still around, though!

Who’s ready for Spring???

A little tiny update

Hey guys!

Happy 2018, by the way.

So, I haven’t posted in a long time.  The biggest reason is all the crazy back-to-school and other changes lately.  But also, I found out that the camera I use isn’t working well.  The battery’s probably the problem, so I’ll have to find one of those…

But when I come back, I’ll have a bunch of posts in the works!

Thank you for your patience.

Hello friend!

Merry Christmas!  I hope you are having a great day, full of family, friends, and fun!

So it’s officially indoor-photo season, and I’m hoping to get some more practice with indoor shots.  Today it’s my 3 dolls Julia, Addy, and Nellie in their holiday finery, with magical Christmas lights.

Elizabeth’s Ensemble

Yeah… I had a hard time naming this one.  😉

Hello readers!  Happy December!  I’m so ready for Christmas… so here’s a photo shoot of Elizabeth the 1st in a holiday outfit.  🙂

(Omigosh I just realized I’ve never taken a photo shoot of her!!!!)

Ahem.

What’s she wearing?

  • Jumper and blouse from my Grandma (old AG)
  • Hat from Elizabeth’s riding outfit
  • Tights from somewhere…
  • Felicity’s black meet shoes

Posts have not been priorities lately… sorry about that.  My goal is 3 posts a month, but I also want to provide quality content, you know?  And where I live, the scenery’s pretty bleak for photos from November to April.  Maybe I’ll get some practice with inside photos!
