Time with my sister

Sorry that I have not blogged much, but we are gearing up for the holiday season and adding new merchandise to the store. This means I have been a busy girl with the model work for the photos and then photo editing and listing. Mom has been busy making new stuff every day. She wants 200 items in the shop by cyber Monday so that is her goal.

Katie finally came out of her room. Mom made some earrings for her type of pierced ears so she had to model for them. I got to hang out on the swing on the porch with her. It was warm enough but windy! I don't like the wind, after all with my size it is a danger.

Katie can be fun. I just wish that she would be fun more often. I hope that Mom makes her work with me more often.

Mom snapped that photo while we were talking about our brothers.

Well I got to go, I still need to read a book that I have to write a report on. I am reading A Series of Unfortunate Events, the Bad Beginning.

Love <3

Happy Friday

Today the boys were home from school in honor of Veteran's day. Wow, did they ever get crazy! I think I like it better when they go to school.

Mom made some more jewelry today, and she needs to take photo's of that plus some earrings she did not complete from the other day. Hopefully the weather tomorrow will co-operate and we can have a photo shoot and then off to edit and list.

I like the modeling part. Mom makes me look pretty. She did my hair today for tomorrow. It is super cute. I have this french braided crossover ponytail do. It was windy the other day when she took my photo's so this will help with the hair blowing around in the breeze problem. I love some of the stuff mom came up with today.

Mom has branched out a bit. She sculpted some mugs that are my size so if the baking process goes well, a new item. Here's hoping that works out.

Well it is late for little dolls. I have to get going.

Veteran's Day from an American Girl

Everyone in the United States of America (dolls and people too) needs to pause on November 11, and remember all the fallen that have served this country, protected us, and lost their lives for us. Thank a Veteran, or a solider. While we have fallen on some hard time this year, can you imagine how much worse they  could be without the freedom we all take for granted.
Say a prayer for our country if that fits your lifestyle. Reflect on the meaning of the holiday. Show respect, and honor to the flag and all who defend what it stands for. Sing a patriotic song. Display your flag. Show your pride.

I might be a 9 year old doll, but I was born in China as we all are and hey I love being an American Girl. I am proud of my title.

I will be spending Veteran's day with my family. Peace & love to you and yours.  Thanks Veterans and NAVY, ARMY, AF, MARINES for without you where would we be?

Etsy

 Mom and I have been so busy so sorry that I did not blog. We have been making new jewelry styles for my Mom's Etsy store. Mom took  a glam shot that is the one at the top, and then she edited the photo below that to pop, not for the Etsy shop, but for fun, and for me. I look so cool.

That zebra belt is for sale. I want one.

You can see where Katie and I model at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Lemonhead103 and there are so many awesome shops  on Etsy that have clothing, shoes, jewelry, food, furniture, well everything you could imagine. It  is a great place to develop a signature look.

Karen Mom of Three is one of my Mom's friends. (her three are people kids, boys. I am not sure  how many doll kids she has) Her shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop/Karenmomofthree?ref=pr_shop_more

Karen has a blog too, her blog is http://karenmomofthreescraft.blogspot.com/
I love her blog. She has such great ideas on how to make stuff for yourself.  You really should follow her.

I also like to watch You Tube doll videos. Fun and  learn so much.

Well Mom said she needs the computer back, she has tons of photo's to finish editing, and then she has to create the new listings.

Hope to blog more soon.

It was a boring lazy Saturday. I was home with the boys, Katie and Poppa. Mom was at a scout leader training and Dad had work.

I played Legos with all the boys. It is easier to join them, especially when they outnumber the girls.

(I like lego's they are fun.. the minifigures are cute.)

Not much to say about today, but some days are like that.

We are rolling the clocks back an hour so that makes me happy.

The Scout food drive is tomorrow so I guess we will be having another busy day.
Church, then scouts. that is my day.

It is very late for little dolls, I need some shuut eye. Goodnight.

Hair

My New Hair


WOOOO!

I went out to play on the swingset with the boys because it was really nice this afternoon.

Here I am with Kendall and Andy.

Kendall is wearing the hat.


Here is a close up of his face, I told you he was cute.

Don't you love the freckles?

I think he is adorable.

I'll have Mom help me sneak some more photos of him. Mom got one of me and her flash went off in the full sun why, I don't know but it did. I look crazy.

But you can see the red in the new do.

The people brothers did not have school since they had an inservice day, so the five of us played and Katie stayed to herself....well the boys are more fun anyhow.
Now that I look at these, Mom needs to take some better photos. I will ask. She was rushed because the boys started to fight and she had to go break it up, then she made us all go inside anad calm down.

Have fun Tomorrow is SATURDAY!!! Poppa is watching us all because Dad has work and Mom has a meeting. I'll let ya know how that goes. You know I'll be the good one...(well Katie will too because she is anti-social...that nerd did 2 grades in a year homeschooling. She keeps it up she can graduate at 15!)

I am so excited!

OMG, OMG, OMG

Mom finally got around to doing my surgery today. My hips are 100% ok again and I can stand up straight, SO happy. I was scared, as anyone would be when they have surgery, but it did not hurt at all and I am so much better now. I didn't even realize that time passed. I was asleep the entire time.

Then Mom asked me if I wanted to change my hair color. I went for it. I now have an Auburn color. It looks very pretty with my blue eyes if I say so myself. I keep staring at myself. I am in love with it.

Andy cried when he looked at me, he kept saying through the tears that he wanted my blonde hair back. I love that silly guy. He is cute, and he loves me the best. He and I sit together alot and he does wrap my hair in his fingers and twirl it, so I guess he did have a thing for it. I'll go blonde again eventually. I am thinking this is a good warmer fall/winter look.

Anyhow, no photos of the new look until tomorrow because Mom said that it will be even nicer in natural light and it was dark dark dark until we finished it. I can not wait for tomorrow when we go take my picture! I am not going to wear anything that will outshine my cool new do, so just my favorite blue jeans and a white shirt. I am keeping is simple. My hair is going to be the Shining star in the photos.

Ok enough about my hair, lol. Kendall is up and around from his surgeries. I'll see if he will let me take his photo tomorrow. (I have such cute brothers!) Kendall and I are the same age, but we are not twins, since we were both adopted. We both have blue eyes, and he is currently blonde.

Want to hear something silly? People think that Ryan and Avery are twins all the time and Ryan is 3 1/2 years older. Ryan is only just slightly taller though. He is short for his age and Avery is super tall for his age so they meet in the middle. Ryan gets very angry.

So the rest of my day, Mom and I looked at maps after I did my school work, because the Cub Scouts are doing a canned food drive so we had to make up maps and routes for the teams. We spent alot of time with a highlighter, coloring the routes in. Mom has some more to do but the highlighters needed a break. She has until Sunday to get it finished and I will help her too. I really like to help my mom with stuff.

We spent some time reading other peoples blogs today too. (well mom and I do that every day) I look forward to new updates from other dolls like me. I don't travel like many of them do, I just live with me new family and do everyday things, like schoolwork. I hope to visit my cousins Madi, Molly and Emma... (Madi and Emma are people, Molly is the doll.) They have a little (people) brother Jake too. I want to play with Molly. I think she will be more fun than Katie.

When the boys went to be Kendall went up with them, Andy snuck back down to watch more tv with me when Avery was not paying attention, and Katie is upstairs. I bet you can guess what she is doing, reading her kindle and listening to music. She needs a life. I am pretty attached to Mom though, so I like to be with her. I am so happy to have a new family, especially one who loves me enough to pick me. That is the cool thing, four of us are adopted and we are loved and chosen.

Mom's other two patients are nearly ready to find new homes. Sami still needs a hairstyle. Then she is going up for adoption. Kendall's twin brother will be with us until we can visit his new mom Bella. She is going to love him though, Equally as cute as Kendall.

Mom needs her computer she had some email she needs to write.

Later guys!

Shameless Christmas list plug:
Here is a photo of some bracelets mom made. I love them. I am hinting here for Christmas, mom. (You don't have to sell them all in the Etsy shop do you? Please!)
