I realized this weekend that I never posted the photos of my dolls in the "snow" during the winter school break.  I know I have taken my dolls out into the real snow before, but this year, it was much easier (and warmer) to do the photos from inside.   I took the photos on a window sill of a big picture window.  This way I could get the photos so the dolls looked like they were outside. 

Here are a few.

Jess making a snow angel.

Cecile and Bud taking a walk in the snow. 

Rachel making a snow angel. 

I will try to upload some more "springy" photos next weekend.  I can't believe how fast time has flown.  The end of our 3rd quarter is this Friday!  Can you believe how fast the school year has gone by?  It feels like just yesterday I was coming back from winter break.

Our weather here has been wonderful.  I am sure it is not to stay, but try to enjoy the nice weather (if you have nice weather) while it lasts,

Below is the Guess that Picture Answer from last week.  

This is Josefina's display case from the old American Girl Place.  I don't remember if this the same one at the new place! 

Here is Round 4's photo:

Your job is to guess which doll which doll is Loran.  (Think about both Loran and I have "L" names...).

I am sorry for not posting this sooner, I have had a long busy week and have been playing catch up today!!

I am sorry for not posting this sooner... I had every intention of doing so, but my mind was wrapped around going back to school tomorrow (making sure I had everything I needed), and a few other things!

I have never posted a photo that was pixelated mainly because whenever I attempted to pixelate a photo, it never worked!  However, I tried again tonight, and it worked!  Here is your photo for this week:

I tried not to make this photo too hard... ok, here is the question that goe along with it, you should be able to answer even if you haven't seen the photo.  This photo was taken at American Girl Place in Chicago (the old one) in 2007, which doll's story does this represent?? 

Again, I apologize for not posting any earlier, I just had my mind wrapped around so many other things!  I hope everyone has a great 4 day week.  I'll try to post sometime this week (perhaps a Show and Tell Wednesday on my blog).

~Lily

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the wonderful, and only.... CECILE REY! I am thrilled to be able to say I have another addition to my large "little" family!!  It truly is a blessing to have another doll.

Cecile was fortunate enough to be able to meet my dolls Rachel and Jess before any of my other dolls. :0)  I will be posting Cecile meeting all of my dolls the next time I upload photos onto my computer.  Everyone is so happy to have a new friend in their lives.  Cecile will be put on display most of the time, but will get to participate in some photo stories just like all of my other dolls!

Here is Cecile with Jess and Rachel.

Cecile with Marie-Grace's dog Argos.  I believe I will be changing Argos' name to Bud since I know someone who has a Bouvier named Bud.  That is the whole reason I got "Argos"/ Bud.

What did you get for Christmas, or Hanukkah?  Did you get Marie-Grace, Cecile or Kanani?  I would love to post photos of what everyone got for the holidays, so please email any photos of anything American Girl (or any doll things) you got to [email protected].  I will post the photos once I have enough, so send in yours TODAY!

I hope you enjoyed seeing a sneak peak at  McKenna (below).  Do you like her story?  Do you anticipate getting McKenna, or any of McKenna's things?  If you do, I would love to see photos.  Feel free to email any photos of any kind of McKenna to [email protected], and [email protected].

Hi Everyone,
I would like to say that PRIYA got the Guess that Picture correct!  The doll was indeed Kanani.  Hopefully we have some more people participate over the next few weeks... I do have email notifications on my comments and try to respond ASAP but sometimes, I don't even the email for a few days!

This week's photo you will have seen in Photos: 2009.  So feel free to check that out, to try to find it.  It would have been in late winter/ early spring (so scroll down a far way!). :0)

Here is this week's photo:

Please make an attempt at: how many dolls there are in this photo, and if they are standing or sitting!

I am pretty sure the photo I just posted below is last week's ORIGINAL photo:

The photo might have bee a full body shoot, but it was atleast this outfit, and Kanani!  Great guess Priya. :0)

Good luck guessing... I do realize this photo (the blurred photo) can be a little dizzying, but go ahead and take a stab.  I can't wait to hear what you guys think. :0)

I will do my best to try to do a few tweets this week, and maybe a blog post on this page, or my other page.

Lily

PS: Please let me know how you are enjoying this!  So far it is great fun to blur the photos as much as possible, and I can't quite make them pixelated but we are still trying... maybe next week.  Also let me know if you have other ideas. 

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would share with you today a few photos of a new doll I recently got.  Her name is Nischi and she is from Paradise Galleries.  She was going to be a Christmas present but I ended up gtting her early and she is adorable.  The best thing is that she is weighted like a real baby!  Her head is droopy and you do have to support it; and her body is also fairly heavy.  Her finger nails even have white on them... it truly is adorable. 

Here are a few photos.

I love her deatiled features... and her eyes really do look Asian.  They really are hand crafted.

Each rose pedal is put on individually.

Just look at that...

I love the little ribbon...  She really does look like a real baby; and feels about the same.  She weighs about 2 pounds.

I apologize for not posting over Thanksgiving.  The weekend before; Weebly wasn't acting very well with my plans... and I meant to log back on but forgot to.  If anyone has any ideas; please feel free to leave a comment.  I am beginning to run out of ideas and am having to take photos on Sunday because I don't have any ideas left!

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,
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
