Hey Everyone,
Sorry for not posting until so late on Sunday.  I really meant to post photos earlier, I just couldn't decide what to post!! 

Here are some more photos from Chicago.  These photos are the photos from driving into town (so the tall buildings) and the sundae I got at the Westin!.  I think the link I included is correct.  I am on Internet Explorer and I can't do tabs (way too slow).  I will check later and let you know if the link's wrong.  

 

2 undecorated ice cream scoops.  Can you see the sprinkles we spilt?   Thankfully I still had enough.

Here are teh sundaes decorated!  There's oreo bits, chocolate syrup (I tried to spoon out the rest... not too tasty), and sprinkles... OH and ice cream. :D

Marisol even gets to enjoy some of the icecream!!

Hancock Building (now Willis Tower). 

I will post more Chicago pictures I think the weekend after next.  Next weekend check back for (I PROMISE) a Fashion Show!  I am running out of ideas, so PLEASE comment on any post, or on my Ideas for Lily page.  I will respond, and your comments will be greatly appreciated!!

Have a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious week.  (Do I have 34 letters on that word?- I most certainly do!)

Lily!!

PS:  I have emailed our winner of the Give Away (MORGAN) 2 times, and have not heard a response.  If I do not hear back by the 1st of November, I will draw a new winner.  MORGAN; you can email me at [email protected], to let me know what address to send your prize to. 

Hey Everyone,
I am finally posting on my site during the week.  Ironically it is a Wednesday yet, I am not posting a Show and Tell Wednesday!  Oh well.  Maybe next week. 

Anyway, I thought I would share with you some photos from Chicago.  I can't believe we have only been home for a few days and I am getting around to posting.  I know... I'm finally going straight and not driving on the curb! ha. ;0)

Anyway- here are some photos:

Above are the photos on the "Celebrate you" screen.  The photo is from 2011.  I love my smile in that photo.  I had just had Marisol's hair braided before these pictures!

Here I am in Kanani's life size stand.  I wish I had had Kanani here.  I didn't know they had a stand fo her!!  That was so cool that they had a large version of the same stand Kanani has.

My favorite place of all (besides American Girl Place).... is the aquarium.  I love dolphins, and I would love to be a dolphin trainer, but there is way to much science and biology involved.  Oh well.  I can still go to Sea World or Dolphin Encounter in Hawaii and swim with them one day. ;0)  Anyway; this is a stop every time we go to Chicago.  We were fortunate enough to be able to stop here on our way out of town.  I am so glad we did too.  I have a story for that, but it will have to wait until the weekend!

Ok.  Those are just SOME photos I took in Chicago.  I still have to take photos of all the things I got at AG Place... no I didn't go crazy.  I just got a few things.  We were even able to come home to Ohio in 1 bag. ;0)

Have a great rest of your week.  I hope to post on Saturday or Sunday.

Bye,
Lily

PS: Liz is having voting going on for the Doll Costumes that were submitted.  Check it out. ;0)

Hey Everyone,
Today, I thought I would share a photo of Loran and Jabrai in their fall outfits.  Even though they aren't played with much, they are greatly loved!  I also am going to need YOUR help in making a BIG decision! Read further please (below the pic and caption).  Just make a comment and there is NO login required to leave a message. 

Loran and Jabrai Fall 2011.  Loran's outfit actually came from Toys "R" Us!  It was in the baby section, and it's size 0-3 months.  The pants are really big in the waste (I'll take those in), and the shirt is really lose, but we safety pinned it in the back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, for my BIG decision that I need YOUR help with!  My family and I are hoping to be able to go to Chicago later this year!  It is so exciting!  The only problem is... I don't know who to bring!  So; I will be taking any comments on your thoughts or opinions until this THURSDAY 10/13/11!.
 
Here is the info, you will need to help me:
I have narrowed it down to Jade-Lynne and Marisol.   I have also chosen the outfit.  Below are 2 pictures, one of Jade-Lynne and one of Marisol in the new outfit I recently got in the mail.  This is the outfit the doll I take will wear.  Please comment, I would love to hear from you!

Marisol in the outfit!  I love the pink and gray combo!

Jade-Lynne in the outfit!  It is such a hard choice.  (No- she wouldn't wear the blue headband!).

Thank you for all of your love and support!  I can't wait to hear which one you think I should bring!  Just comment below, and there is NO login required to post a message.

With love,
Lily

Hey Everyone,
My mom has recently made a blog about Doll Science.  Doll Science includes ways to keep your doll healthy and to ensure she has a long happy life, as well as how to fix her up.

In Doll Science, you'll find what products you should and should not use.  Some products are made so that they don't harm your doll, while the common house hold cleaning products (ie Bleach, Clorox, etc) that you may be told to use, are not advised by the experts.  These can ruin your doll and may make her lie shorter.

Let Jeanne know what you think... she would love to hear from you, and follow her blog.  She is planning on posting once a month! 

As for me, I am planning on posting tomorrow (Sunday).  I have some fall outfit photos, as well as a big decision I need to make!  Come back tomorrow to see the photos and find out the big decision!

Take care,
Lily

Hey Everyone,
Congrats to Morgan for winning the Give Away.

I also thought this weekend, I would show you a new outfit I got for my Bitty Baby.  I know I recently got an outfit from American Girl for Lily, but this outfit is from Walmart.  I got it off the rack that faces another section of the store (in this case the food section).  We had gotten items like papertowels and were going to the "Home" section but I came across the outfit and picked it up.  I thought it was really cute!

I got the Preemie size for up to 5 LB.
Here are some pictures. 

the outfit is a little big in the foot, as you can see the "outfit foot" is much bigger than Lily's foot.  I think her foot actually stops in the middle of the pink circle.

I hope this gives you some great ideas, I love when you can get outfits for dolls at regular stores.  I remember in Australia I would get outfits for my MyTwinn dolls that were size "0000" from Target. :)

Have a great week.  I know I say this every week, but I will try to post sometime this week... but so far it hasn't worked out too great. :D

Until next weekend,
Lily!

And the winner is... MORGAN!  Congratulations Morgan.  You can keep your eye out for an email from me. ;0)

I will be having another Give Away soon... with celebration for the Holiday Season.

Do any of you know how to get more entries on a Give Away?  I only had 10 and I think it would be great to be able to have a few more... just let me know.

Have a great day.  I will post some pictures later today!

Lily
