Not Much to Update

Ugh...I haven't updated in awhile. My life has been pretty boring lately. Not much has been going on.

Last week we had some nice weather but this week it's back to being cold. Today was rainy, too.

My room is a mess but what's new? I'm just...not good at keeping it clean. Nicki's pretty good at keeping her room clean-well, most of the time. Maybe she'll help me. I know, I know, I should clean it myself. Blah.

I'm excited for Easter! I can't wait to dye eggs-it's one of my favorite traditions! I also want to make some yummy cupcakes with jellybeans on top! Yummy :).

I should probably get off now, so I can, um...finish my homework. *Yawns.* And I have to go to bed soon. Maybe I'll just finish my homework tomorrow morning.

Happy 2012!

I haven't written in awhile, I know. I just wasn't really in the mood to write much. Since it looks like Kaya probably won't be coming back, Nicki will probably live with me (in Star Valley, I mean; outside of Star Valley all us dolls live together...it prolly sounds a bit confusing). She's be staying here already, which has been nice. I've been trying to get used to Skyler, Nicki's dog, living here but I'm just not used to living with dogs. I don't really like dog licks on my face or hands-especially if I'm about to eat. I much prefer petite kitty licks. Nicki's trying to teach Skyler not to jump on my bed. He's allowed on Nicki's bed though. I do like my kitties on my bed but I've grown up with kitties :). Nicki says she doesn't mind though. Skyler's cute and he's actually nice around my cats. Pounce did hiss at him a couple times though, tsk tsk.

Although Nicki and I are in the same class, we usually do homework at different times. Nicki is learning how to ride Eastern style. And I take ballet once a week. We're both in Girl Scouts. I...uh...have a book report that we were assigned last week that I...um...still have to finish reading and write...

Christmas/my birthday was nice; it was quiet. Unfortunately we only got a few snow flurries and there wasn't any snow on the ground so no white Christmas this year. I don't really like green Christmases because it just doesn't feel as much like Christmas, to me. Oh well. Nicki got me a cute little Beanie Baby named Grace! She's a praying bunny and oh so adorable! (Fun fact, Missy also a Grace Beanie Baby, so ours match!).

Me with my Grace bunny:

On the 26th, my family took us out to dinner, along with Marina and Hallie. It was fun.

Our Christmas tree is still up and we'll probably keep it up a few days longer. I admit, I've also still been listening to some Christmas music. I just can never stop the day after Christmas-I love Christmas music! And the tree is so peaceful and beautiful!

There's nothing much going on outside of Star Valley. Missy is probably selling Sarah to Auntie Jenny (aka in Star Valley, Sarah will probably be moving). And she's thinking about who might be coming to live here. Someone who would probably live with Addy in SV, since Kit and Maddie moved. She thinks it's between Marie Grace who would be a different girl, from New England and Cecile, who would remain herself). I think both of them would be interesting to meet. Lastly for Christmas Missy got Zoey, the AA Bitty Twin girl; Zoey is so adorable and silly. She's debating between Sandrine and Paige for the middle name.

Fall Changes

Sorry for not writing more over the summer. Things were pretty quiet for the most part.

Lately I've been kinda blue. My cousins, Kit and Maddie are moving away. They're going to live with their Aunt Millie. I'm going to miss them so much! And on top of that news, also a few weeks ago, Kaya had said that she was feeling kind of unhappy and that she wanted to go and find some of her tribe to live with for awhile. She's not sure if she's going to come back or live with her tribe permanently. I want to be there for her with whatever decision she decides but I know I'll miss her like crazy, too, if she moves away!

Has anyone else had best friends move away? Does it always hurt like this?

Nicki has been staying with me and my mom for awhile and Tessa has been hanging out with us, too. Marina has been busy working on pieces for a recital so we haven't hung out much lately :/. We did hang out at the block party on Monday, which was good. And she of course invited me to her recital so I can't wait to hear her play for that.

Speaking of the block party, I sang "Dreams of Harmony" for the talent show. I also entered Pounce in the pet show/parade, which was fun. She's such a sweet kitty :).

The leaves are all turning pretty colors. After I clean my room, I'll probably put up some Halloween decorations. I have no idea what I'm going to be this year. I haven't really thought about it yet.

Here's a photo of me, singing at the block party:

Hey

Ack, sorry for the lack of updates. Nothing too much has been going on lately. Kaya and I are just hanging out. Pounce is sleeping next to me :). We have to clean our room again-it's a mess...it seems to get that way a lot...

School is out next week! Yay! I just hope I do alright in my classes. I, uh, forgot to hand in a book report last Friday and only found it yesterday morning...oops? This summer will be busy with filming. The sets are slowly coming along. I'm excited-but of course nervous, too!

Solana is staying in Star Valley for a visit. Sonali and Solana are both of course happy to spend time together :).

Ummm...oh yesterday was Kirsten's birthday so I'll give her a shoutout :).

The weather has been hot lately. And today was stormy. I think we're supposed to get more storms tonight, though at the moment you can hardly tell that it rained at all this afternoon. Other than filming, I'm not really sure what I'm doing this summer. Probably just hanging out at home and with friends (and also Missy and Grandlinda, outside of SV). There might be another block party again this summer, so that would be fun.

Well, I've got dishes to wash.

P.S. If you like, my friend, Tessa, has a FB fan page.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ack! Sorry I haven't written in like, forever. I just kept forgetting to post-oops. Things have been pretty quiet here, aside from Sonali moving here on Christmas and Kanani moving here last month. For Christmas/my birthday, I got a cute reversable pillow. It's a pink Hard Rock on one side and green with little white polka dots on the others side-so cute! I also got a pretty striped scarf. Kit, Maddie and Addy spend Christmas with Kaya and I.

As I mentioned above (and Kirsten has probably mentioned as well), Sonali moved here on Christmas. Her sister, Solana, lives in another town-with our Water St. friends. They're twins. I'm not sure what I think of Sonali yet. She seems a bit stuck up and has taken to hanging out with Nikki Halliwell and Rosalind and Rose Hopkins, a lot. Sometimes she seems nice but other times... she's also good friends with Gwen.

Kanani is a sixth grader and is Nicki Fleming's cousin. She moved here from Hawaii, which must have been a bit of a shock, temp-wise. She seems pretty nice and trendy. She's bubbly and friendly. Kanani also loves photography. She has a dog named Barksee; he's adorable and so friendly.

Our class had a little Valentine's party. I got some cute Valentine's :)

Oh, we're still in the process of writing the screenplay for The Show Must Go On. There's still six more scenes to write (probably around 25-30 more pages), before we cane make sets, figure out costumes, filming space and start filming! I'm excited-I get a starring role! We're playing ourselves in the movie. Missy will have to get an external hard-drive before we'll be able to edit the movie, since it'll take up so much space. The editing won't happen for awhile anyway and we'll still have some more youtube videos up in the meantime, too.

Well, that's it for now. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you've been enjoying the day. Kaya and I didn't do too much. We had a small dinner with Kit, Madeleine and Addy. It was nice. Now Kaya and I are just relaxing. Kaya's reading a magazine and has Zip on her lap. Licorice and Pounce are sleeping on the floor.

I just wanted to say that I'm thankful for my family, my friends, the wonderful doll town I live in, my kitties, my toys, a warm home...I'm thankful for Missy and Grandlinda...and I'm thankful for everyone who reads and likes this blog :)

10 Days til' Thanksgiving; 39 Days til' Christmas (and my birthday)

It's hard to believe it's mid-November already. Pretty soon Thanksgiving will be here and then Christmas (which also happens to be my birthday :) ). I'm not yet sure what to get Kaya. Maybe I'll make her something. I also have no clue what I'm doing, birthday-wise. Probably nothing much. I love having my birthday on Christmas...though sometimes I wish it were on an ordinary day instead of such a big holiday. There's so much hustle and bustle during the holidays and whatnot. Still, a Christmas birthday is nice-and Christmas itself is one of my favorite holidays, too. So I'm lucky to share my birthday with it.

Anyway, I'm just sitting here, in my Lizzie McGuire PJs, with my kitten, Zip, on my lap, purring. He's so adorable!

Have any of you begun listening to Christmas music yet? I have. I love Christmas music and even sometimes get in a mood to listen to some in say, the summer. I think Kaya and I are going to get our decorations out soon, too. I'm really waiting for the first snow to stick, so I can really get into the spirit :).

Trick or Treating

So...last night was Halloween. If you're wondering what I went as, well the holiday present that my cousin, Kit, told me to add to my poll, won...great... I wasn't really wanting to be it. Anyway, Kit helped me make my costume last-minute. She and Kaya both said I looked cute. I wasn't feeling cute and was almost mortified when we went to Madamoiselle Ann's house, first. She told me not to be embarrassed (something which the other adults in town echoed). In the end I wound up having fun trick or treating as always. I got some nice compliments on my costume and while it's still not in my favorites list, I have to admit that it grew on me a bit. I'm a Christmas birthday girl, too, so it fit well.

Kaya went as a Fall leaf and had a pretty mask; she borrowed Josefina's summer dress to wear. Halfway through, we met up and walked with Hallie and Molly J. I got some nice goodies, like a bracelet, a little grim ghosty (not sure if it's really a ghost or not. To me, it looks like a black ghost with a red tie and is cute) and of course candy.

I also entered the AGPT costume contest for Creative Use of Materials.

Here's a pic of me in my costume:

And here is an album of the trick or treating last night:

I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween and Happy November!

T. Haley's Visit, Along with T. Sophie and T. Ruthie

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago, Haley visited us. First she had a detour in CT. While she visited, she went to the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion and Yankee Candle (it's like a tradition that Missy and Grandlinda take the traveling dolls there). She was here, along with Traveling Sophie and Traveling Ruthie, at one point. That's the most travelers we've had at one time! Haley, Sopie and Ruthie also went apple-picking and to the Keene Pumpkin Fest. Likewise, Haley and Ruthie took a trip to AGB-B.

Haley, Kirsten and Samantha also made some ghosts pops which Kirsten says she'll post about soon (she and Peter haven't been feeling well the past few days and even missed out on trick or treating last night.

Anyway, sorry I didn't get around to posting these when Haley was here. She left here on the 20th and Sophie left on the 27th (Ruthie's here until the Winter Fest). Here is Haley's album as well as one from their AGB trip, apple-picking the three travlers did, and the Pumpkin Fest.

Costume...

Before I go to bed, I was just wondering what you think I should be for Halloween? I can't choose (well there's one on the list I don't really want to be but Kit told me I should totally add it...cousins, lol). Halloween is coming up quickly. Kaya and I still have to decorate our room.

There's a poll over on the right where you can submit your answer.
