Updates :)

Hey guys, long time no post!
Well, things have calmed down for me–except for the Christmas concerts and parties going on now, really the only thing that's occupying my time now is homework and musical lessons.
This year, I apologize, there will be no 12 Days of Christmas, but I will do a Christmas Haul.  I'm going to pick up more after Christmas, since I asked for more AG things and am going to earn more money to buy more things for my dollhouse
You can definitely expect more posts next year :)
Btw, The Princess in Sneakers is coming this spring.  And I apologize, I kind of rushed the series and made it kind of vague and stereotypical.
The series is definitely going to be different–way more plot twists and new ideas!
I hope you have all been enjoying this month!  Has time flown by or what?
And also, I'm thinking about starting a DIY/beauty blog.  Thoughts?

Hey guys..

So if you haven't noticed (which you probably have) I haven't been blogging very much.  I've honestly been so busy, it was hard for me to find a time to get on the computer!!  I've been busy with a science project, history project, book report, homework, volleyball season (which just ended), plus football games (which I've been having to go to), and I've also been trying to find time to spend with my friends (in real life).

And also, I haven't been really interested in Ag very much.  I don't really know, but I've kinda been loosing interest over the past few weeks.  I think I might be taking a break (which I really already have, lol), because I can think of any good posts to do, and I haven't been interested in ag.  Several months ago, I had way more views & comments because I posted so often.  But this summer-October I haven't been posting very much, and I'm not sure if I'm loosing interest in Ag, blogging, or what.  I just need to take some time off to relax, get post ideas, and prepare posts.

I would have posted this sooner but my Internet has been down for my laptop (and then I found out someone turned airplane mode on by accident? -__-) and I've been extremely busy since vball season just ended, I have had several games and practices in the past week.

And, I really need to update my blog design.  Especially the header, because I was working on this awesome edit but then I had some technical difficulties.  And also the awards tab, because there's only one and I've gotten like 5 more awards since then XD.

So please bear with me!  I have no intentions of deleting my blog or anything, I just need to take a break!

Hope you guys are having a wonderful fall!
xoxo

Updates

Hey guys!
I know, long time no see.  I'm really sorry I haven't been posting on here, honestly, I've been so busy, I could hardly find the time to post this.
September is here, and school is back.  September/early October also means volleyball, and I have practices and games at least 3 times a week, it's been really crazy! And then I've been working on homework, projects on the weekend, still while practicing my piano & clarinet, I honestly have had no time at all to post.
Sounds like an excuse, but I mean it.  As volleyball season is ending, I will probably get back into posting in early/mid October.  I've also been busy planning my new AG video series, which should be premiering here in November or December. :)
Does anyone else agree September has completely flown by?
But, I'm working on posts, and after volleyball ends I will have more time during the week to work on posting! :)
Thanks!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hey everyone!
So as I have mentioned in my post before, The Secret Princess Finale, an AG video series is coming after it.  The trailer should be up in 3 weeks at the latest, and the episode 1 premier should be in four weeks?  I'll have a set date in the trailer.
However, I am considering getting a YouTube to post the series on.  I think I probably will, so be sure to look out for that! :)
And also, it's not going to be exactly like the photo series, so a few changes will be made. 
So yeah!  I hope you check out my trailer coming up soon! :)
Thanks!
~Hope~
P.S. Meanwhile, be on the lookout for more DIY/craft/photostory posts!

The Secret Princess Part 4 ~FINAL!!!~

Hey everyone!
Yay, I'm finally posting (my laptop's internet hasn't been working -_-)!  So, just a few quick updates--remember when we reach 50 followers, we're having a GIVEAWAY!!  Be sure to follow and tell your friends to follow! ;D  And also, I (might, not totally sure yet) be going to AGP this/next week, so I'm pretty excited.  If it doesn't end up working, I'll probably go in a couple weeks. ;)
So anyways, onto TSP Finale!
[BTW, if you don't know why they are staying in a hotel, they are going to find the evil queen in the northern part of the kingdom]
The carriage stopped.  They were in the Northern Kingdom, and it was extremely cold.  Mary, the servant, went to knock on a hotel door. 

It was very late, so when the hotel owner answered the door in her pajamas, it was hard not to laugh.  "Yes?" she said, "what brings you here so late?"

"We would like two rooms, please.  Two in each room."  "I'm sorry," said the hotel owner, "all our rooms are full.  Since the coronation is coming up soon, all the hotels are packed."  "But the coronation isn't till two months," said Mary.  The hotel owner shrugged.

Violet got out of the carriage.  "Perhaps I can change your mind," she said.

"Princess Violet!" cried the hotel owner.  "Welco--I mean, of course!  The only room we have left only has two beds, but I could make another on the floor."  "Right," said Mary, "the guard will stand outside the room to make sure, er, any unexpected visitors come."

"Thank you," said Violet, as she got her bag out of the carriage.  The guard was getting the rest of the luggage.

"I'll go fix the bed and send someone to fetch the luggage." The hotel owner ran up the stairs.
She came back down moments later. "All ready!"  She led the group up to their room.

"Here it is." said the Hotel owner.

"Have a wonderful stay!  Breakfast is at 8 AM tomorrow.  Let me know if I can be of any help!" Then, she left the room.

"I'll sleep on the floor." said Mary instantly.  "No, of course not," said Arianna. "You've been sleeping there for your entire life.  Sleep on the bed tonight!"  "But--princess," said Mary.  Ari shook her head firmly.  Violet even offered her the big bed, but Mary refused.

The girls sat in bed, and talked about their quest to the evil queen.  After they got into a conversation about Arianna's dad and the evil queen, Ari turned to Mary.  "Do you have any parents, Mary?"

"Well, I don't know.  I mean, of course I do, but I never knew them.  I only have a necklace my mother gave me, and a note she left me.  It says To Mary, but I open it and it has nothing on it."

"Do you have it with you?" asked Ari.  "Well, yes, I bring it everywhere with me," said Mary, opening the letter and showing it to Ari and Violet.  "Are you sure it's blank?" asked Ari.  "Well, of course," said Mary, "It's plain white.  Nothing at all is on it."  
Violet examined the letter, and picked up a flashlight and a pen.  "What are you doing?" asked Ari.  "You'll see," said Violet.  She shone the flashlight on the page and scribbled with the pen, all of the sudden, letters and words stood out on the page.  "Invisible ink!" cried Mary, "your a genius, Princess!"
Mary read the letter aloud:
Dear Mary,
By the time you read this, I will be gone.  It is very unsafe for me to be writing this, be very careful who reads this.  I know someday you will find what it really says.  I am so sorry I had to leave you, Mary, but I must.  However, you will know when the day will come to find me.  I can't tell you when, or I will be gravely punished, but take this as your clue:
Eht yad fo eht noitanoroc
Love,
Your Mother

"We have to uncover the code!" cried Ari, "it's much more important we find out about your mother!"  "It's too dangerous," said Mary, "we can't!"  "But we have to," said Violet, "finding your mother is much more important."

"Whatever happens," said Ari, grabbing Violet and Mary's hands, "we'll always be together!"
~THE END~
Check out my new series/movie coming soon to find out about the quest Violet, Ari and Mary take!  :)
Thanks!
~Hope!~

Okay, so your probably all like, where in the world have you been?
I have been busy almost nonstop for the past 3 weeks.  First family came in town, I had a week long camp, the we went out of town for 2 days, and then we went on vacation.

What do you guys think? :)

My Opinion: AG New Release ~Summer 2014~

Hey girls!
Sorry this is so late, but here's my opinion on the New Release.  New post coming tomorrow!  I was trying to post the video the other day, but it's having technical difficulties.  However, expect that soon!

So first we have the new MAG Doll.  She has light skin, wavy red hair and green eyes.  I think she's adorable, but Saige looks a lot like her.

Lots of new outfits!  Here's Isabelle's Sparkle Dress, which costs $36.  I think it's adorable, but it reminds me of Barbie.  Pink, sparkles, long flowly dress?  Yep.  If I were to get this, it would be for Sydney Lee since she loves dancing, or Mal since she is an actress and dancer.

The Coconut Cutie Outfit for $30.  I like the tutu and shoes, but other then that not a big fan of the outfit or the price.

Here we have the Starry Hoodie outfit for $30.  Let me just say, this for $30?  And I don't really like the outfit either.  The shoes are cute, but the rest is ehh.

Here we have the School Stripes Dress for $28.  I think it's cute, but honestly I don't need any more doll outfits like this ;)

Bright Stripes Outfit.  $38.  Once again, the price is a little high for just this.  $28, $30 seems more reasonable.  And does AG have a thing with stripes?

Petal's Plaid Outfit for $24.  The price is fair, and the pj's are cute.  However, I don't need any pj's :)

Oh my gosh.  I NEED THIS!  Saige and Mallory are both cheerleaders, so it would be perfect for them.  I love it so much more then the ISU Cheer Campus one or whatever.  The price is $48, not cheap, but I LOVE IT!

Skateboarding set.  $42.  One word: what?  First off, look at the skateboard.  What in the world?  It looks misshaped.  And her outfit.  Who would wear that dress while skating?

Karate Set for $38.  I already have one for build-a-bears, and that one was $10, and it came with every single belt.  This just comes with the black belt and its $38.  And the Build-a-bear one fits.

NO AGG WHY!!!  I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!  But I love so many other outfits so much.  What do I do??  This would be perfect for Caroline or Mallory, since Mal is a fashion-freak and C loves the outdoors.  It's $30, and I love the shirt and belt. :)

Bee Myself Outfit.  toooo..... yelloooowww...And shouldn't this be for Bitty Babies?

This has been here longer, but I really want this, too.  Very cute! :) $28.

This is honestly really cute, but way too pricey.  $213?  I prefer the Dreamy Daybed to this, for one it's bigger, it sleeps two dolls, and it comes with storage underneath.  And the DD (Dreamy Daybed) costs $129.

This is really cute.  It's $58, and I could really use it to store doll accessories inside.  I think I'll get it with the Dreamy Daybed, because it kind of matches and it has lots of storage, and I just love the adorable accessories!

Cute, but way too expensive. It comes with the tent and that lantern.  For $85.  The OG one comes with a tent and several camping accessories, yet it costs much less.  So if you want this, get the Our Generation one.  It might be even bigger, but it's adorable.

The Beach Chair set, which is really cute.  It's for $48, which is kinda expensive for that chair and fake food, but whatever, I don't want it.

Isabelle's Makeup Set, which is so cute!  I was going to get it for Mallory, until getting a closer look at the set.  Only a fragrance bottle, some lip gloss and a little blush tool.  I made a huge makeup set complete with eye shadow, blush and lipgloss for FREE.

Jewels Highlight set for $15. To be honest, I liked the first highlight set better. And a green highlight?

Accent Braid Clips for $15.  Cheap(ish), but I think it's much more fun to do your doll's hair.  However, I might get this for Kit or Mallory, since Kit has short hair and Mal has layers.

Doodle backpack set for $28.  It's acutally pretty cheap, compared to other stuff.  It's cute, but not something I plan on purchasing.

The earring tree for $10. Very cheap and cute! :)
So that's not all, but you can check out the whole release at the store on www.americangirl.com
Have an awesome day!

Happy 4th of July! {Photostory}

It was a hot, sunny day and the house was in chaos.  The dolls had been invited to a 4th of July party/cook-out.  Everyone was running around, getting ready, grabbing the food, and making last minute brownies.
Mallory sat at the desk in her bedroom she shared with Ruthie, which was covered in makeup, and a complete mess. 

Mallory was quickly applying some mascara when Ruthie entered.

"Mallory, what happened to our desk?  And why are there clothes covering your bed?"  Ruthie asked.  Ruthie absolutely hated messes, and she was always the most organized of the family.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" cried Mallory dramatically, throwing her arms up in the air.

"Forgot...uhh..what?" Ruthie finally asked.  "Ruthie!  Saige and I are riding on the ending float in the 4th of July parade!  And you promised to help me with my makeup!"  "Oh, yeah," said Ruthie, "I remember.  Sorry, the house is a complete mess and Kit just called me to tell me to bring the camera, but  I can't find it because her room is so messy." 

Ruthie started doing Mallory's makeup, and quickly applied some sparkly light blue eye shadow.

Next came the lipgloss.

"Tah-dah!" cried Mallory, spinning around.  "How do I look?"  "Great!" cried Ruthie, who really meant it. 

The kitchen was also a mess, as Caroline ran around looking for the hamburgers. 

"Where could they be!?" she cried.

"Aha!" she said, spotting the hamburger box on top of the fridge.  "I must have set it there earlier!"

While Caroline stacked up the food, Saige walked in.  "How do I look?"

"Fine," said Caroline, not even looking up.  Saige giggled.  "Sorry," said Caroline, "I have to bring the hamburgers to the cookout."

"Oh, I have to go!" cried Saige grabbing her dance bag, "see you later!"

Mallory followed Saige out of the kitchen.

Later, everyone was gathered at the picnic enjoying some of the delicious hamburgers and watermelon.  "Let the parade begin!" cried the announcer.  Many awesome floats came by, where the people on top through out candy and even cupcakes!

But last of all came Mallory and Saige on their float.  All the dolls clapped as loud as they could!

And the float was great!  It even had American flags on it.  Saige and Mallory threw out cupcakes!
When they made it to the end, they jumped off the float and did an awesome dance for everyone!

They both ended in their left and right splits!

Overall, the dolls had a fantastic time.  The fun wasn't over yet, though.  Next they enjoyed an awesome fireworks show!
Sorry this is late guys, I did this yesterday and it took me 2 hours to set everything up and stuff :D
Enjoy!
~Hope~
