My friend Kat came over this weekend and we took some more photos.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful friend in my life!  We had a blast and we have photoshopped a few.  Here is on with a Hawaiian beach behind it.  We have had wonderful weather in Ohio this spring, (unusually warm) but I would love a get-away and I'm sure Kat would love to join me. :)

Don't you just wish you could be there right now?  Doesn't the beach look wonderful?  I also would love snowcones, and even better I would love to meet Kanani in person... haha (yes I do know Kanani is not a person, at least the AG Kanani)...

I hope everyone has had a great April Fools' Day.  I haven't been able to think of any jokes to tell, that would not be too clasical (ie the spider).  If you have any let me know, and I will do my best to remember them for next year.

Have a great week

PS: My mom has posted on her Doll Science blog.  I meant to tell you all a few weeks ago, but I believe I completely forgot.  Be sure to check it out!

Hello Everyone,
I can't believe I have not posted in over a month.  I have been busy and truly haven't had much time to dedicate towards photo-taking or posting.  I have so much to tell you and show you and I don't know if I should start present and work backwards or vise-versa.  Any ideas?

Before I go too far, I do want to take a moment to let everyone know that our house has not had any damage from the storms.  We were very lucky in the Cincinnati area.  Kentucky, and SE Indiana were unfortunately not so lucky (as you have heard I am sure).  I hope that those who lost loved ones, know that not everyone may be able to empathize with them, but that everyone does sympathize their family. 

Moving on to some more positive and upbeat things...  This week, I am going to show you some photos of some American Girl items that I recently got.   am going to show them to you slowly.  As always, feel free to email me photos of activities you have done with your dolls, or any of the doll accessories.  I would love to hear from you!

Here are some photos.

Here is everything in the box.  The fruit came in a little bag (and so did the beignets.  But I left everything in the bowl, and the beignets on the plate for convenience.  I took off the pineapple because the box would not close otherwise. :)

Here's the water pitcher and cups.  Aren't the designs beautiful?

Here is the fruit and the bowl.  I love how the fruit looks so real.

The food that you HAVE to eat if you go to New Orleans... Beignets!  I had them when I was there in 2007 at Cafe duMonde and I loved them. :)  The secret though is to get to Cafe duMonde EARLY because it get very crowded very early.

I apologzie again for not posting in the last month.  My life is so crazy this spring, and the weeks and weekends just truly fly by.  I will do my best to post weekly though for the remainder of the year.  We haven't had any snow days this year which is very unusual.  We have had snow 4 times, but 2 of the times it didn't stick on the ground. 

Follow me on twitter to find out if I have posted or will be posting.

Hey Everyone,

I am sorry I couldn't post any new photos last weekend... I was in Buffalo to visit relatives and I thought I could get it done on Saturday... (clearly it didn't happen! :0)

Hopefully I can get tht done this weekend. :)  Can you believe how fast summer has come?  IT is suppose to be 80 degrees today and then in the 90s for the next two... I said to my dad, "Are you sure that we don't live in Florida?" lol.

My dolls will need to be changed soon into summer clothing, so hopefully we can have another Fashion Show!  Maybe I can get that done thsi weekend.  Unfortunately I have a lot of homework and I have book reports that I have been putting off, but we will try to do it. :) 

School is almost out!  I am so excited.  Our last day is the 6th. :)  This summer I am doing a jazz camp too (not a sleep away) so I am excited.  I can't wait until summer vacation though.  Hopefully I can get some more photos like last summer! 

Ok- I will see you soon (when I hopefully post more photos!)  I might post the Fashion Show in two parts... we'll see. :)

Hey Everyone,
Happy Easter!  I hope you all have a wonderful day... unfortunately the weather is rainy so I could not get outside to take photos of my dolls like last year ( <-- link to last years Easter photo story).  Last year we were lucky and got out before it rained, but this year it has rained for days!!!  We won't be seeing the end anytime soon since it is suppose to rain until Thursday. YUCK!

Ok have a good day and hopefully I can have some outdoors pictures one of these days. :)  (as soon we get a clear weekend!)
