Christmas Wish List

There are so many great items for dolls like me on Etsy. I hacked into Mom and Dad's Etsy account and I created a wish list. The best part is every thing in my list  is under 10.00. Bargains! Most all the doll stuff in Mom's shop is priced reasonably as well but I wanted different things than Mom sells.

I hope everyone likes what I chose.

I love that cupcake, it looks yummy!

Well thinking about cupcakes made me hungry for dinner. I  am going to go clear and set our table.

Thanksgiving

Photo by my people brother, Ryan.

With Thanksgiving coming this week, I think every person or doll should pause to reflect on what they are thankful for. I am thankful that I was adopted into a loving family, and that I am out of that horrible Goodwill (it had an odor, yuk).  I am thankful for being clean, clothed and not having my hair in a matted tangle.  I am thankful my new Mom repaired me. I am thankful for my brothers and sister, and for the time I get to spend with the foster doll's who are here for a make-over before they go on to new homes. I enjoy the friendships that I have made since I moved in here.  I had a good year this year, joining this family and I am very grateful. I also know I am loved and all these things that I am thankful for are more valuable than I ca place any dollar amount on.

Happy Thanksgiving and love to you and your family both Doll and People. Say a prayer for those without what you have. Write down what you are Thankful for. Let me know on here.

Mom and I are thankful for the American Girl Doll community, we love all the new people we have had thee pleasure of meeting through it and the friends we have made.

No internet...

What a week. We had new service installed for our internet on Monday, but the old service was not suppose to be cut off until Thursday and it took over  2 days and a lot of frustration and added expenses, but it is fixed. YAY.

I felt like my wings were clipped.

As soon as Mom had the boys computer up and running again,  I hijacked it to go to the American Girl Website and boy, was my brother Ryan mad! (although he was surprised how fast I can type and how I can out spell him... yeah Ryan, I ROCK!! You best get used to me but it is sad when a DOLL can type better than you and you are a human..tee heee!) Really hijacking his computer is tooooo easy... he can't keep up with me. So I was looking at all the new stuff and I really want the Heelys\, and the silver high heeled shoes on the AG website. Maybe if someone really loves me.... yeah they are super expensive so I have a feeling it is not going to happen. Oh well...

 I  now hijacked Mom's computer which is the one that I usually use to blog, although Mom is much nicer and she said she'd rather that it was me using her laptop than the boys because they are so rough with the computer and  I treat it right.

I think that I need to ask for my own laptop... hmmm maybe I might have to. Mom's is so big for me I have to stand to type and I need a whole had to press one letter. I guess I will see what I get for Christmas.

I spent the  time without the internet making jewelry with Mom and  Ryan for Mom's shop since we could not play the Sims on Facebook. No excuse to waste time there. We made so much stuff. Mom still has a bit to photograph then she will be editing and listing all this stuff in Etsy.

It takes so long to take the photo's and with it being November I am so cold doing them but I do like spending time with Mom. We still have so much to do. I am Mom's top model now. Katie is only doing the wire type earrings that my mom makes now. Katie doesn't like to stand without having her kindle in her hand so she is constantly getting yelled at to put it down while Mom is trying to take her photo and then Mom gets mad. I guess it is easier for me to do most of it since I co-operate.

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.

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.
