A New Find...

2012-01-06T21:35:00.003-05:00

I was on Amazon.com recently, and found three new mysteries that American Girl is going to release!! The mysteries are going to be released on February 28th. The mysteries are going to be for Rebecca, Marie-Grace, and Cecile. I posted their descriptions as well as the covers that I captured off of Amazon.com. To see them click here!

I will be posting a new blog post on here this weekend,

Winter Break, and a new book review...

2012-01-03T13:35:00.003-05:00

Hello World!

I thought I posted this earlier this week but in my "Edit Posts" it says I never posted it, and has it as a draft. So I am going to post it to you all now. Here you go!

I truly can't believe what a great break I have had! My family and I went to Michigan to celebrate Christmas and New Year! We couldn't have had a better, snowier Christmas! :0) I realize MI has very little snow compared to their average, but since South Western Ohio has NO snow, just a few inches (approx. 10 by the time we left) seemed like a ton.

You see, I haven't had a white Christmas since 2007, and to actually see snow on Christmas day seemed like a miracle. I will update this site with some photos soon. I have used this mostly for long written posts, and have mostly posted photos here. I think I will post a few "non-AG" photos from winter break here though!

I think my dolls enjoyed seeing snow as well! I will be sure to post some snow photos on my other page. Most of the time they were cooped up inside, but just before we left, I took them out to enjoy the thick and deep snow (don't worry; I didn't take them in very deep!).

Enjoy your week. I'll update the other page soon.
Lily

PS: I posted a book review on McKenna, yesterday. I rated it a 4.5, you can read the other details here. I will be posting a review for Ready to Fly soon on this page too.

Why, yes another update!

2012-01-02T22:43:00.002-05:00

I really must be on a roll here!! I have posted yet again on my other website www.agpixplace.net. I have finished reading McKenna and made a little review. I really did try not to give away too much detail and information in my review... if I did, I am sorry. I always like knowing the end, because I hate things that are unpredictable.

Let me know how I did, and if you have McKenna, are getting McKenna, or read her books; let me know what you think. You can of course post a comment, or email me at agpixplace@gmail.com. I will post your review, or your photos that you send in on my website. Also; if you got any doll related item for Christmas email some photos to agpixplace@gmail.com. I am going to try to post some soon. I will let you know when I figure out an appropriate date!!

Have a great week,
Lily

Hello McKenna, Aloha Kanani!

2012-01-01T12:16:00.003-05:00

Hey
I posted photos of McKenna's collection on my other website... really I posted a "fantasy" wishlist! Go check it out, because I think you will like the photos. Do you like McKenna and her collection? Are you going to get any of McKenna's things? I have started to read McKenna's first book on my Kindle, and I think the book is terrific! Even if you don't get McKenna you should definitely read her books!

If you do, please send photos and I will be sure to post them on my website. My email is agpixplace@gmail.com.

Happy New Year!
Lily

McKenna books

2011-12-30T10:37:00.002-05:00

I just posted the McKenna book covers and descriptions on my webpage. Check out the details at www.agpixplace.net. I can't wait to see McKenna, although with 22 dolls, I don't think I will be getting her!! We'll see. I will be posting Cecile photos later today, and hopefully McKenna photos from American Girl on the 1st!

Lily

Peyton Grace Buckles

2011-12-28T10:41:00.002-05:00

I forgot to tell you to check out Peyton Grace Buckles on the following link. Photos have been up for a little while (since December 19th) I have just forgotten to tell you. http://faithhopeandjoy.blogspot.com. Be sure to leave a comment if you stop by and congratulate the Buckles' on their new addition Peyton Grace is a beauty so be sure to check her out!!

I will be posting photos later today or tomorrow. So be sure to check by my other page (www.agpixplace.net) for new photos. I did post the answer to last weekend's Guess that Picture on my page yesterday!!

Have a great day.
Lily

A new updated Holiday Blog

2011-12-27T16:16:00.003-05:00

Ok... after a failed attempt to actually publish this...:

I hope everyone had a great Holiday Season! I have taken the time today to update the Blog's background to match winter. I forgot to do this for the fall, and haven't done it since Spring 2011. I am going to try to do all four seasons in 2012 but no promises. :0) Everything has been terrific here; and I think we all got what we could have asked for. I got Cecile, some clothes Argos (Marie-Grace's dog) who I will rename Bud. You see; a person I know has a dog named Bud who is a Bouvier, so since I don't have Marie Grace, Argos is now named Bud! My dolls now have a new sister. I truly have no idea, how many dolls I have now but I believe it is approx. 22. I also have a few non-AG dolls, so we are close to 35 which isn't bad at all for a collector... guess you know what is coming!! :0)

I also got an Amazon Kindle. I have read 3 Nancy Drew books on it so far, and just purchased a fourth book for it. I need to upload it to my Kindle. I don't have WiFi so I have to download the books to my computer before uploading them to the Kindle!

I am going to end this post since I keep deleting half of what I type by accident.

Have a great new year,
Lily

Another Fantastic Week

2011-12-16T20:52:00.002-05:00

Hey Everyone,

This has been another fantastic week- and I do believe I will be able to post a Guess that Picture on Sunday. Next weekend however, it will be difficult for me to post as it will be Christmas on Sunday. What an exciting time of year! I am planning so many great posts for after the holidays, and will try to keep you up to date with everything that will be happening... believe me, it will be a busy break. I should be able to post a photo or two of Cecile not too long after Christmas day; and more photos will come as we progress through the year!

My dolls are planning a few posts as well during this Christmas break. We will be sure to share these with you throughout the winter months. We are so excited. I know they are just as excited (if not more excited) than I am for their newest sister, and friend. Cecile will be my LAST American Girl Doll... as of right now. I must admit though that I have said this about 10 times in the last 2-3 years. :0) American Girl keeps coming out with great dolls that I relate to so much. Hopefully Girl of 2012 (who I hear is named McKenna) will have nothing to do with me, and I won't feel obligated to purchase her!

If you get the chance- check out the Buckles' Family page and congratulate them on their newest addition Peyton Grace born on December 6th at approx. 8:30. CONGRATS! I can't wait to see photos; and will be sure to post a link here when Melissa finds the time to post some. :0) The girls are so adorable and I KNOW Peyton is now and will be a pretty lady too!

Please take a chance this weekend to check out the new Guess that Picture on my blog. I will try to post it tomorrow, but more realistically it will be posted on Sunday!

Have a great, safe, and warm Holiday season,

Lily

The countdown to Christmas begins!

2011-12-11T09:01:00.003-05:00

Hey Everyone,

I thought I would post a quick update here to let you know that everyone is well, and the countdown to Christmas has officially begun! I can't wait to get Cecile this Christmas and I know my dolls are just as excited. I picked out which Cecile I wanted at American Girl Place in Chicago, she is just in her box until Christmas. I will post some photos when I do get her.

I am planning on posting a Guess that Picture today. It'll be my first, and I am so excited. I have to edit the photo I would like to use, and blow it up really really big. As long as I can figure out how to do that, we should be in great shape... otherwise that will come later, and another ordinary sized photo will appear today on my other page.

Now about the Give Away that I had about 2 months ago... I still have not heard anything from Morgan, our winner. I will draw a new winner today, and post the new winner tomorrow. My new Give Away policy for ALL Give Aways: If you win, you MUST email me an address no later than 2 weeks after I email you to let you know you won.

So... since I said the Countdown to Christmas has officially begun here... let's say how many more days! There are only 14 more days after today, and not including Christmas day! So really 15! How exciting? Are you doing anything special for the holiday season? I'll be sure to post some great photos over the break, and let you know what I get for Christmas!

Have a great Holiday Season,

Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 44!

2011-11-09T19:58:00.000-05:00

Hey Everyone,

I am so glad to be posting a Show and Tell Wednesday! Honestly- I almost forgot about it! I think this is week 44 but I am not going to go check. It might be week 45, because I think I might have postd Week 43 twice... Anyway, it's around week 44!

As you know last weekend I had a friend over and we took many pictures of my dolls. Here are the 2 photos I posted before they were edited. This is really truly what the photos looked like before I edited them.

Chance is arriving at the party. See how I have all white for the background?

This makes editing easier!

Jess is doing school work. Again the same original

background is used to make editing easier!

My mom posted on her Doll Science blog the other day. This post tells you how to find miniatures around the house that are the right size for your doll. She also added a Subscribe by email gadget so you can subscribe and be notified by email each time she posts.

I'll post 2 new photos over the weekend!

Lily

We're Back LIVE with PHOTOS!

2011-10-17T16:22:00.000-04:00

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to be able to say I am back with some great videos and photos!!! I am sorry about the long time between posts here but I am happy to say that has come to a stop- atleast for the moment!! So sit back and relax with your popcorn as I explain what I've been up to!!

Recently my family and I went to Chicago! It was a great time for all; and I even got Cecile! I got to pick out which Cecile I wanted but she is still a Christmas present and I must wait until Christmas to open her! I can't wait. I also got 3 new outfits, a sweater, and Marie Grace's bouvier! My favorite teacher has a bouvier and I knew I HAD to get that dog when I saw him in the catalog. I might just have to change his name to Bud!

Here are some great photos from the trip! As I got bored along the 5 hour car ride, here are some things I did to entertain myself!! These pictures were taken in the car after I fixed her hair. ... so check the other page to see some from AG Place, the aquarium, and more!

Marisol with a bun in the back

Marisol with 2 braids. This is how I wanted the hair done at AG Place! This is how her hair was when we left the house. ;0)

Ok I will be back soon to tell you all of the adventures we faced in Chicago (I promise they're all good). I will also post photos on my other page before next weekend (I hope)!!

Lily

PS: I posted 3 videos of Dolphins at the Shedd Aquarium on Youtube. www.youtube.com/user/agpixplace. You should be able to find them on my channel!

Some new photos...

2011-10-09T09:53:00.008-04:00

Hey Everyone,

I just posted some new photos on my other page! Here is a summary though (with the photos!).

Loran and Jabrai are in their fall clothes now! Here they are! Loran's outfit actually came from Toys "R" Us. It's size 0-3 months, but the pants are lose (I'll fix that) and the shirt is really loose, so we just safety pinned it in the back for now. Jabrai's shirt came from Build a Bear.

Also, my family and I are hoping to go to Chicago later this year! The problem?- I don't know who to bring! I have narrowed it down to Jade-Lynne or Marisol, and I have picked out the outfit. Below are 2 pictures, one of each doll in the outfit they would wear to Chicago and AG Place! Let me know who you think looks better in the outfit! I'll take comments until Thursday night.

Jade-Lynne (L) and Marisol (R) in the Pink and Gray outfit! I love the color combo!

Just comment below, you do I believe need to sign in here to post a comment but you don't need to on my other page (www.agpixplace.net). Have a great week. I promise to post more here!

Lily

October?

2011-10-08T11:48:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for my lack of posting... as you can tell, I have been posting on my other page (amazing... I know). I will be making another post there this weekend. I have been trying to post at some point during the week, but I have been posting there every weekend this school year (usually on Sunday).

I would like to say, I have drawn the winner for my Give Away, and the winner is MORGAN! I have emailed you, (last week). I have not heard a response yet, but I will give her time before I go draw a new winner!

I am planning on doing a Show and Tell Wednesday this week here, so keep your eyes open! Things have been very busy lately between the dolls and myself. I have been at school every day (obviously) and when I come home, I do my homework and just lounge around... I must say, I do look at others' blogs every day, but just neglect to edit my own! Plan on seeing a post on the Dolls' blog page soon as they have some exciting news to share!

I recently got a new outfit from American Girl. I am planning on posting some photos this weekend. I am going to American Girl Place (in Chicago) soon. I am NOT going to give ANY details, but I will definitely post photos when I get back! I am only PLANNING on getting a few things, but if you REALLY truly know me, you know that won't be the case. ;0)

I PROMISE to give a full update soon. I will even try to post some photos here this weekend!

Lily

PS: I am going to try to be better about labelizing my posts!!

All Ready for Fall!

2011-09-24T12:55:00.003-04:00

Hey Everyone,

Last weekend I finished changing my dolls into their autumn clothing. I think they all look wonderful. I will be sure to post pictures soon on here and my other page. Let me know what you think.

What are your dolls doing this fall? My dolls are dreaming about getting to meet Cecile, the new American Girl Doll. I can tell they are hopeful I will get her for Christmas. I guess they will be happy to find out I am getting her for Christmas this year!!

Have a great week. I PROMISE to update soon with pictures here. I will try to do a Show and Tell Wednesday this week!

Lily

PS: Don't forget the Give Away has 1 more week... so far we have ~10-12 entries! I can't wait to announce who will win the prize!

A Quick Post

2011-09-10T18:16:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

I am sorry for not posting here much, I am using my other page more and more. I haven't abandoned you though! Please remember to enter my Give Away (click here). Also- I have posted Old and Recently Found Photos Week IX today. I will be posting some more photos tomorrow. I am trying to do just once a week, maybe twice!

How is your school year going? Feel free to post comments, I will reply as I am getting emails when I get new comments!

Have a Great School Year,
Lily

Back to School

2011-08-22T19:15:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I have so many things to tell you right now! Unfortunately; I have been mainly posting on my other page; so... The top thing I need to tell you is that I am having a Give Away that goes until October 1st. Enter at www.agpixplace.net.

Among other things, here are some of the top things (besides the Give Away).

1. School Starts tomorrow. This means I cannot guarentee I will be posting more than once a week! If I do; then in my weekend posts I will say; "I also posted on Thursday".

2. The Dolls' Space; still has no comments! The dolls are feeling bad, so it would be greatly appreciated if you commented! They also return to school tomorrow and I am sure they can't wait to tell you about their school!

3. I posted some photos yesterday; and have one to post next weekend!

4. I hope you all have a great school year! I will post here and on my other page; a lot this year (I hope). I am a freshman (cue evil music) in High School; and I don't know how stressful it will be; but I have a lot of fun things in mind. :0)

Have a great year!
Lily

Give Away Game

2011-08-10T18:04:00.003-04:00

Hey Everyone,

Please visit my other page, and let me know what you think the Give Away Prize is. Keep in mind the 2 clues.

I will be posting the 3rd clue this Saturday. My dolls have posted today as well.

Have a great day,
Lily

New Doll Item

2011-08-04T20:36:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone. :) I just finished crocheting my dolls' hat. :) It was suppose to be a pot holder... but when things go wrong... just find another use. :) Read it all: www.agpixplace.net

Homepage at www.agpixplace.net

2011-07-30T16:54:00.004-04:00

Hey Everyone,

I remembered yesterday that my old homepage, is still linked to this webpage. I remembered that I didn't delete it incase I didn't like just having a blog for a homepage.

I remembered yesterday that when I changed to not having a "homeage" just having a blog for my homepage, that I only "hid" the homeapge. If you added "www.agpixplace.net/home.html", as your favorite or book-mark for this site, and didn't check here until I posted on there today, PLEASE change your favorite or book-mark to just the following address: www.agpixplace.net.I may eventually decide to go back to that, which is why I didn't delete it, because at first I wasn't sure I would like this at all but I am not currently using it, and if I do, wwww.agpixplace.net, should direct you to there automatically... (or whatever my homepage is).

I hope you have a great day. Rachel will be posting later, when she uploads her photos to the post. :) She has a few to share with you I think. ;)

~Lily

PS: I will be posting some stories behind the "camp" photos in August! I hope you are enjoying camp, and "The Dolls' Space".

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 42 video

2011-07-27T19:48:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone, Here is the video... sorry it took so long. Blogger's video loader apparently isn't working right since I let it load the video for 10 minutes (or more) and it didn't load, and on YouTube it only took 5. :) You can see it also on YouTube if you search agpixplace. :)

Enjoy,
Lily

PS: You can see this on my webpage. You can click videos (link on the left) and it will always be up there. :) ( www.agpixplace.net/videos.html)

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 42

2011-07-27T19:01:00.001-04:00

Hey Everyone,
I know I am not keeping up with Show and Tell Wednesday, but here's one:

As many of you know, my dolls made jewelery on Monday at camp. :) I am so happy I was able to get "The Dolls' Space" off the ground!

I want to share with all of you, some of the tricks I used to make that! Here is a video that I have put together for you to be able to see how I made the jewelery work a little easier! I put together this video today, and I apologize that it wasn't posted until so late. :) It is really hard to make the loop closure without making the wire break off... which gets really frustrating. :( This will be also posted on YouTube. But it is really hard for me to post YouTube videos here with the dimensions right so it will fit on the Blog properly. :)

Change: I have to go eat, I will upload this (via YouTube) after dinner... anyone who wants it, here is my YouTube Channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/agpixplace. It is the first video. :)

The Dolls' Space is Live. :)

2011-07-24T15:55:00.002-04:00

Earlier today, my doll Kanani made her first post about arriving at camp on "The Dolls' Space". You should check it out. It is amazing for a brand new blogger. :) I am sure the dolls appreciate any comments that you would leave them over there too. :) They also have a twitter! So be sure to check that out too. :)

They don't have an email yet, but you can email agpixplace@gmail.com and include "For the dolls", or "For _____" (a dolls' name) in the subject, and I will be sure to let them see it. :)

Tank you for the great idea Eden. :)

Lily

PS: Last night, I was able to find my first tweet!- or as far down as Twitter would let me go... it was on 4. Apr. 2009! I can't believe I have had my Twitter for so long. :) I will post a photo of it (that I snipped) on Twitpic later today. :) I also snipped the dolls' first tweet so I won't have to go through that battle again! haha. :) IT took over 25 minutes, no joke. :)

New Feature

2011-07-22T16:54:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone,

This Sunday, I am going to have a new feature coming live to www.agpixplace.net. There will be a doll blog, and that is where my dolls an blog... for more information visit www.agpixplace.net. :) HOpe to see you there Sunday!
Lily

Wow...

2011-07-19T17:25:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

I can't believe that it has been so long since I last posted... I am sorry about that. I have been very good about posting on my other site lately but have neglected this site. I am so sorry. I hope to be able to post some photos soon here. I recently posted Old and Recently Found Photos Week IV. This is something new I have started on my other webpage... I am running out of things to do for Show and Tell Wednesday unfortunately. I will try to post some though. I just posted photos of Kanani's new Ukulele Set. I am so happy they have brought Kanani another real Hawaiian item.

Please check both of those things out by going here.
Have a good week. I will try to post some photos here soon,
Lily

4th of July

2011-07-03T20:32:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

My dolls decided to have a cook out for 4th of July... here is a photo... to see them all... go to http://www.agpixplace.net/!

Have a good 4th!

Lily

New Photos!

2011-07-02T15:30:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I have posted Boston Part II, and I have also posted my first week of "Old and Recently Found Photos". My dolls are doing something special for 4th of July but they haven't announced what it is yet! Come back by Monday and see what it is! I will post it here and on my other page!! :)

Have a great 4th!
Lily

PS: I have changed my comments on my webpage so I will approve them before they are posted. :) This makes sure they are appropriate before they are posted live!

New Photos... Hopefully soon!

2011-06-29T12:11:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone,

Hopefully I can post some new photos on my webpage, and here very soon. I have to get some photos off of my camera because it is almost the end of June!

My list to do for this webpage is very big, and hopefully I can do everything I want to before the summer is over. For the next couple of weeks, I will be posting photos of my Karito Kid dolls. I got Lulu very recently as a gift and can't wait to post some photos.

Also- there will be a summer fashion show very shortly.

Look for more photos soon,
Lily

June?- Show and Tell Wednesday Week 42

2011-06-15T17:57:00.003-04:00

Hey Everyone,

I haven't posted here recently, but I just posted on my other page last night... and hopefully will finish the post tonight (Part II). Today I am going to show you a few photos of my Mom's doll Zoarzoar. :) Zoarzoar is an eBay rescue, and my mom had to do things like add paint to Zoarzoar's face, and fix her hair. Zoarzoar was the name of the seller, and I think Zoarzoar looks like Molly... the hair even looks like it was in braids, and the owner (maybe not "Zoarzoar, maybe the daughter), just cut the braids. Poor Zoarzoar. :)

Here are the photos:

the paint

Zoarzoar's hair

finished Zoarzoar

Thanks for looking. :)

Show and Tell Week 41!

2011-05-11T18:17:00.000-04:00

Hey Everyone,

(I don't think I did this one yet... I have to go to bed, because it is late, and I didn't have time to look!)

It is so hot outside (it was 87 degrees according to The Weather Channel around 4). UGH! Where did spring go? I am hoping to get some photos soon of the outdoors and my dolls (it just stopped raining... but it is suppose to rain again- there is a chance of rain all this week but it didn't rain today!)...

Here is a photo of my dolls in front of their newly designed bedroom (just posterboard)! I don't really use this much anymore, but I think it is very handy for when I do use it..., it can make something look so different!

Rachel and Jade-Lynne infront of their bedroom wall...

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 40!

2011-05-04T18:45:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,

It is week 40 of Show and Tell Wednesday! Wow. :) (my science teacher would say "wowsa" but I might just stick to wow! lol) This week I am going to post a photo of my bookshelf back in 2008. You can see my dolls Loran, Rachel and Julie, and a bookshelf on a pink wall. That is the same bookshelf that I have all of my dolls on today. At first I only needed the middle row, and then I only needed (I think) the top 2 rows as doll shelves. Then I needed the whole bookcase and I needed a new one for books.

Here are the photos:

one of the shelves for dolls only. :)

then 2008 (see the books)

2009... that isn't even now... there
I only have 14 (there might be one
below with Ivy)... and now I have 21!!!

-----------------------------------------------

I hope you have enjoyed this S&TW. I have OAAs tomorrow (finally the last one!) so I couldn't plan this out as well, hopefully I will have a better one next week. I just keep forgetting when Wednesday is. :)

~Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 39?

2011-04-27T14:59:00.005-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I think this is week 39 of S&TW... I want to squeeze this in before the next line of storms come through... I should be able to post more later...

Look how big of a difference the flash can make... I thought I had it on, but really I had it off... that is why so many of the photos looked so bright and that is why I had to be careful with how I held the camera (because otherwise they were really blurry)... I should be able to post more later, but I think we should shut this down soon incase more comes... my mom is watching the weather. :)

See you soon,

~Lily

with no flash!

with the flash

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 38

2011-04-13T17:05:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone, I can't believe it is almost week 40... I know I have gone a long time without posting but here a few behind the scenes photos from the day I did the Fashion Show... Enjoy the pics... I will hopefully be posting pics of my new Kanani doll this weekend on www.agpixplace.net. so keep your eyes out for it. :) Have a good Wednesday, Lily. :) Rachel and Lily on Lily's bed! All of my (Lily's dolls) waiting for their turn. See How many there are? My room was covered with dolls, and their accessories... :)

2011-04-01T19:19:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone, American Girl Doll Talk (www.americangirldolltalk.com) has published a new episode. The guest speaker is LISA YEE!!!!!! I'm so excited. I really like the "Aloha Kanani", and the "Good Job Kanani" books as well as the "Good Luck Ivy" book. I saw on her webpage that my favorite actress (Julie Andrews) got to hold Peeps (it is the first picture on the "Peeps and famous authors" page)! So be sure to check it out. I know you can get the podcast on iTunes. It is free too. The part with Lisa Yee is about 10:30 minutes long. Also- the podcast is kind of the lengthy (~ 25 minutes), but it is really cool- especially since Britts is from Australia and I have been there! Ok- I need to go and finish changing the dolls hair and clothes so I can take the photos for the Fashion Show!

March!

2011-03-31T10:25:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone, Has it really been a month since I last posted? I posted once or twice on my other web-page, but I have been really busy, and haven't had much time to post. I will try to create a photo story soon and post it. Thankfully summer is almost here, and when we go on vacation I should be able to get a lot of photos, like I did last summer! Have a good spring (we haven't had much springy weather here in Ohio!) ~Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 37!

2011-02-16T16:20:00.004-05:00

Hi Everyone,
I can't believe that I remembered it was S&TW! This is my 37th week doing it (off and on). We are almost to 40. :) If you forgot what it is click here. I hope to remember it every week from now on... :)

Here is a photo from pretty long ago that I thought I would share:

They are doll sized! The first is Chrissa's craft table with some little buckets that I think we bought at Hobby Lobby in 2009; and the second is a photo of 2 doll sized cakes I made. I just made them with little styrofome things; and then we covered them with the play do type stuff you can get at like Walmart. It is the stuff Craft sells; that dries up if you leave it out in the open...

Well I hope you enjoyed it. Again; I really do hope to start doing it weekly again,
~Lily

PS: Please don't forget to sign the petition... I would like 50 signatures by March 1st... :) www.agpixplace.net/petitions.html

New Photos...

2011-02-13T20:44:00.001-05:00

Just wanted to let you know I posted photos on www.agpixplace.net yesterday! They are photos of Kanani's Shaved Ice Stand...

Hopefully I can remember it is Wednesday and post some photos for Show and Tell Wednesday. :)

~Lily

Valentines Day; delayed!

2011-02-11T20:11:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone,

I have had a really busy week, so I am not able to to post the photo story... I am still taking pictures. (sorry!). I hopefully will have it done soon. :) I also forgot it was Wednesday so, I didn't get up a S&TW. Maybe I will next week.

I am going to post some photos tomorrow (no joke!), of my new Kanani's Shaved Ice Stand! I got it from my parents for Valentines Day! I just love it, and can't wait to use it in a photo story. :) So check back tomorrow for the photos. They will be on www.agpixplace.net. :)

Thanks for waiting so patiently. Hopefully I will have that up before Valentines day. :)

~Lily

Photo Story- This weekend?

2011-02-03T20:13:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,

My goal is the photo story I have been writing photographed and posted this weekend... :) We did end up having 2 snow days due to ice! Maybe I should call them ice days! I practiced my music, a lot, and was online, but didn't really take the photos... I am just trying to decide how to take the photos since I don't really do it that often!

I should have it posted soon. Today was Chinese New Year- our house isn't spotless, I guess we will throw out the luck when we clean this year. Oh well!
-Lily

A new Photo Story/ S&TW... :)

2011-01-31T17:47:00.003-05:00

Hi Everyone,

New Photo Story
I have some good news... I am currently working on a photo story...!!! IT is about Valentines Day... :) I am hoping to do some of the behind the scenes as a Show and Tell Wednesday this week even though the Photo Story wouldn't be quite done! Now- wouldn't that be nice to get back in the swing of things? We have been throwing things together here and there, but haven't done anything big since November! (especially a S&TW!). For those of you who forgot what it is click here. I hope you enjoy this weeks Show and Tell Wednesday.

Snow Day
I am hoping that we have a snow day either tomorrow or Wednesday. We are about to get an ice storm, and tomorrow it is suppose to be ice in Dayton and rain in Cincinnati. We are right at the border where we get what either Cincinnati or Dayton gets... so I don't know... I am hoping for a snow day though one of the 2 days because I would LOVE to be able to finish the Photo Story on Tuesday or Wednesday and get it posted. Then maybe I could do another one over the weekend.

Petition:
Please don't forget to sign the petition... I am really hoping for 50 signatures in less than 1 month... click here for it: www.agpixplace.net/petitions.html. I have 3 signatures. Great!- PLEASE include WHY you want a new Asian Historical doll... would you add her to your wishlist? etc.
I will talk to you soon. I will hopefully have a snow day this week... keep your fingers crossed :)

~Lily~

Snow photo

2011-01-23T16:16:00.004-05:00

Here is the snow photo. :) I am hoping to do a video over the next week about my new closet organization... I meant to do it right away but I kind of forgot about it. You can see the video when we were "in the process" of fixing the closet by clicking here... :) It may be a little while though because I have video on my Camcorder that has to be uploaded to the computer. My camcorder has software that is no longer on the computer since everything had to be reloaded when our computer had the virus (the software hasn't been reloaded yet!)

Enjoy the photo,

Lily :)

The Back burner...

2011-01-23T16:03:00.002-05:00

I know I am not doing nearly as much as I usually do on this blog this year. :( I honestly, think this blog is on the back burner for me. I am going to take a photo of the snow we had and post it here for you. We only got about 6 inches but that is enough for 2 snowdays in a row here. :)

I am going to try to be REALLY good about getting my homework done so that I have more time for blogging etc. Usually my homework takes about 2 hours, but I learned (for about the 3rd time!) that if I just do it without complaning or stalling, I have more free time after my homework. I think more free time at once is better than little bits of it here and there. So I am going to try to create a photo story for you all this week, and have it live by next weekend. Then maybe a video. :)

See you in a bit with a photo of the snow (no dolls, just the snow).

Lily :)

2 Year Anniversary update...

2011-01-07T21:23:00.005-05:00

I know that my 2 year anniversary (really 2 years?) is right around the corner for my other webpage. So... I am going to try to upload some photos here to celebrate (uploading them there takes longer). This photo was taken the 1st day I was doing the webpage. As you know I no longer have that background since the pages were across the top... and I really need down the side :)

Here is a quick photo though that I wanted to share:

Have a good weekend,

~Lily~

PS: due to a math midterm on Monday in the morning (a midterm is covering EVERYTHING that you do from the beginning to the middle so thsi covers from August until January), I will not be posting any photos. My goal is to post some photos from my first 2 years here though through out the week so look back :)

Hawaii, and new pix!

2011-01-02T18:36:00.002-05:00

We just came back from Hawaii yesterday incase you didn't read my twitter post- that's why things have been so vague.

Also- I posted some new photos on my webpage: www.agpixplace.net/photos-2011.html. I have decided to try to avoid doing posts (typed posts) on that page, but if I need to I will add a Posts 2011 page :) The photos include Kanani on the Local Hawaiian news (KHNL), and photos from Waipio Valley, and Volcanoes National Park. I have one of the Presidents plane in Hilo (we think the plane he wasn't in since he was on Oahu) but that is a photo and story for another time :)

I have to go study for my tests, and eat. We had a snowday I was suppose to take them since I was leaving for Hawaii, so I had to wait until we got back... unfortunately I will have to "relearn" the material. I remembered math and really just reviewed, but science... I don't know about :)

Have a good week,
Lily

PS: I will try to start up Show and Tell Wednesday again this week... but I don't know if I can since I have an Algebra midterm next Monday (Jan 10), and will be reviewing for that. Any idea what week I was on?

Happy 2011!

2011-01-01T10:30:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to 2011... 2010 went by so quickly and I can't believe that it is 2011 already... I hope there are some Youtube videos of the ball drop because I missed it last night... :(

I will try to post my winter break photos soon. I have so much to post and write about, but right now, I have to start getting ready for school again. I know... still 2 days but.... There is also laundry so I have clean clothes on Monday. :) I ill try to post some photos tomorrow or this upcoming week though, along with a "real" update on my other page. The photos will probably be in photo album form again though.

Enjoy 2011... :)
Lily

PS: Look at American Girl's webpage, for the Kanani stuff. She is Hawaiian and since I have been there myself, I think I will have to get her... :)

Petition... for a new Asian Historical Doll :)

2010-12-28T23:59:00.003-05:00

I have set up another petition on my web page (www.agpixplace.net) for a new ASIAN historical doll. It will run until March 1st, 2011, and my goal is 50 signatures by then... :) Please click here, or copy and paste this link: www.agpixplace.net/petitions.html, into your browser to read about it and hopefully sign :)- If you don't want to sign its ok. :) If neither link goes, it is the 6th page listed on the site (www.agpixplace.net), or the 5th page down FROM the homepage :)

Sincerely,
Lianne

One Survey Response... :)

2010-12-28T21:13:00.003-05:00

Hi all,

I would like to report that I have 1 Survey responder. Thank you. I don't know who posted it (but that is the way it should be), but Thank you person!!! :) I didn't notice this when I made it, but could you please only pick 1 answer for the questions? I would like to decide what to spend the most time doing... :) Here is the link for the survey: http://agpixplace.blogspot.com/p/survey.html. It is only 3 questions.

Survey Responder: don't feel bad, it isn't your fault you didn't know, it was mine, but if you would like to go retake it, you may. If it will not let you, contact me and I will fix it so you can.

-Lily

PS: I don't know how the colors will show. When I type this, I see it against white, not purple... Please forgive me if it doesn't work well, I just tried the lightest of each colour. :)

Trying and Happy Birthday Dad :)

2010-12-27T17:26:00.003-05:00

Happy Birthday dad... :) Today is my dad's birthday. I hope you have a great day... :P

Anyway- I just wanted to let you all know that I have created a page on this blog, with the Survey on it. The Survey I made will help me decide what you all like best, and what to spend most of my time doing. I am planning on getting Show and Tell Wednesday (S&TW) on the road again in January. The survey is only 3 questsions long. I value any comments you leave, but please be nice. You can say you don't like something nicely. Click here to take it: http://agpixplace.blogspot.com/p/survey.html. If it doesn't go, try clicking on the "Survey" page at the top of the blog.

A Quick Post :)

2010-12-26T17:29:00.002-05:00

First of all, I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, I can't believe 2011, is just around the corner...

I have put up a "Archived Posts and Photos" page on my other site. You can find posts and photos from other years, except for the current year, and the future (obviously). Please read about the details here: http://www.agpixplace.net/archived-photos-and-posts.html. If the link doesn't go:

1. please go to my webpage: www.agpixplace.net
2. scroll down, and click on "ARCHIVED POSTS AND PHOTOS"
3. Read it ;)

If you have questions, or cannot find it, please email me at agpixplace@gmail.com, or post a comment here... :)

-Lily

Ok the red.... :)

2010-12-25T13:34:00.002-05:00

Sorry about the text written in red. I didn't realize it would show up so horribly on the purple. I truly kind of forgot the purple was there... :) hehe.

The red is just pretty much saying: Did you like the photo album on the other site the last time I used it? Please comment either here or there to let me know how you like it because I will probably use it to post photos if everyone likes it. You can also email me at agpixplace@gmail.com or sign my Guestbook on the other page.

Merry Christmas
-Lily

Merry Christmas... :)

2010-12-25T11:16:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Please read the red. Did you like the photos album on the other page? Please comment about it. I would like your input... if it's in blue, its a link...

I hope you Christmas is going smoothly. I have pictures from this vacation (winter break) and from today that I need to post. They probably won't be posted in reality though until after school starts again and I know that I am not going to take any more photos for a while. I have a lot of photos from this winter break that need to get posted. How did you like the photo album I did last time on other site? Please comment and let me know, because that is a fast easy way for me to be able to post photos (and more photos).
Have a great day,
-Lily

PS: Enjoy this day because there will never be another Christmas when you are this age and in 2010. :)

Merry Christmas

2010-12-24T10:00:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas. I know that the year 2010 went by quickly, and I hope that you would all agree with me that my webpage has gotten better over the past 2 years (well almost 2 years). I can't believe how close I am to this webpage's 2nd anniversary. It seems so unreal at how long I have had this page. It seems like I have had fit forever, but I also remember starting this MLK day weekend 2009.

Thank you all for sticking with me through those past 2 years even when it appeared that I may never post again. I know I would go weeks and almost a month without posting photos, but really, I do try to post photos as often as possible (AOAP).

Merry Christmas,
-Lily

PS: For those who like to track Santa here is the link: www.noradsanta.org. If I were you, I would leave the browser open all day if you can because their system loads up with people quickly and then it is hard for "new comers" to be able to log on. You don't need an account, and it is free to track Santa. It also is really fun too.

Almost time for Christmas... ;)

2010-12-22T12:35:00.001-05:00

I can't believe that Christmas is only 3 days around the corner. :) I have been busy on my winter break and I am sorry for not keeping you posted very much. I have photos and will have more from Christmas and the week after. I don't go back to school until January 3rd. I can't believe how fast the past year has gone by, and I can't believe how fun and great it has been. I know that the next year (Dec. 25, 2010-Dec. 25,2011, and 2011) will go by just as fast and will be just as fun. :) Thank You all for staying with the site, even though there are some months and times that I know that I hardly post, or don't even post anything. :)

Merry Christmas,
-Lily

PS: I hear that next year's doll is Hawaiian. Her name is Kanani. Thanks Liz for finding this and posting it for girls like me to find. :) So in Hawaiian you would say Mele Kalikimaka if you wanted to say Merry Christmas. Also to say Thank you in Hawaiian you would say Mahalo. :)

Mele Kalikimaka!

Winter Break is officially here... :)

2010-12-17T19:21:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe that winter break is finally here.... :) It started at the end of our school day today. It is so nice knowing that we are now on winter break... :) I love it! Christmas is just around the corner. I hope everyone has gotten their gifts (that they are giving!).

Have a wonderful Holiday season,

-Lily

Photos of: Snow, J.J., and my short hair :)

2010-12-12T13:53:00.005-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Here are the photos I promised with a little extra below....

1st snow (that stuck)... Dec. 4th... Like I said not much

2nd real snow (that stuck) Dec. 12th

J.J- an early Christmas present

my new hair cut. How do you like it?

I really love J.J just not her hair. American Girl has now made the dolls' hair so that is easier for younger kids (atleast J.J's). The back is really thin, and there is almost know hair back there. I will try to make a video this winter with my video camera.

I will have to reload the software though. When our computer had the virus, they reuploaded the software (first formatted it), and my camera editing software isn't on the computer yet...

Enjoy your winter... :) I can't believe this is the last week of school.

Lily

Snow, Snow,and More Snow...

2010-12-12T11:11:00.002-05:00

Hi everyone,

As you can tell by the title, we are expected to get snow here... We aren't suppose to get much, but the fact that we are getting snow is just exciting... winter is definitely on its way... :) I have the original snow photo I took earlier to post (I am about to do that), and I have another photo (I have to take it here in a sec.). to post as well... I would say probably from this little storm, we are probably going to get like 1 inch, from the looks of things, but I can tell that winter weather has already begun, and I know only a few more days until winter starts. (Exact date Dec. 21... :)

As some of you know, I got my hair cut. You can see in my profile photo how long it used to be before. Well later today, you will be able to tell how short it is now. It is about mid-neck length... :)

I need to go get ready for my 3 tests tomorrow... :) (and take a photo of my hair, and of the current snow)

Post 3: What happened to S&TW?

2010-12-05T17:02:00.002-05:00

I realized just now, that I haven't done S&TW in a very long time... I will try to get back up to doing that again... I know a lot of sites have stopped (including mine) but I hope I can start again. I will have to figure out what week I am on and then I will start again. I hope to start after Christmas because I will have lots of photos, and I can just probably have a few from that. :) Then I hope to be able to do it again weekly. Hopefully I can keep up... :) I just do so much. I have dance on Wed. and I try to upload a new episode of The Little Couple that day too. :)

Sorry for not doing for so long... I hope to do it again soon. :)

-Lily

Yea! Have the photo... :) Now need to load it :)

2010-12-05T16:57:00.002-05:00

HI to all,

I actually took the photo... :) Now I need to post it (maybe today but unlikely).

How do you like the background and the new location of the pages? I would like to get the pages down to one row but... we'll see... Let me know how you like the background and page locations.

Thanks,
-Lily

Getting There :)

2010-12-05T10:31:00.000-05:00

Hi to all,

I am about to go take a photo fo the snow... and then I will post it later today.... Still have all of my homework to do. I guess that is what happens being a procrastinator... :)

Have a good day,
~Lily

Photo of the snow... well almost :)

2010-12-04T22:19:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I forgot to take a photo of the snow today... it is suppose to reach 33 degrees (Ferenheit) tomorrow... so the snow may melt. I will take a photo early in the morning and then try to post it here later tomorrow.

I had an Honor Band audition today and I hope I got in. There are 18 flutes, and I know I messed up on the sight reading, and a little on the "prepared piece". I think last year it was about a week before we knew if we made the list for the Honor band weekend or not. :)

I have homework to do tomorrow but I should be able to photograph the snow, and post it. :) Eighth grade really keeps you on your toes. :) I really want to do marching band in HS, and I cannot do it my Freshman year (bummer!- parent's rules), so I have to get all my homework done without procrastinating this year and my 9th grade year.

I also posted photos on my other webpage a few weeks ago. I would like to know how you like the slideshow. So please visit there, and look at the photos. Please leave a comment or email me to let me know how you liked the slideshow feature. Here is the link: www.agpixplace.net/photos-2010.html. My email is agpixplace@gmail.com.

I hope to hear your great feedback.

-Lily

Snow :)

2010-12-04T15:17:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I didn't get a photo of the snow I had talked about because it didn't really stick, and I kind of forgot. Here is the first accumulative snow that we have had this year. It is so exciting to see snow finally falling that actually sticks. :)

Winter is one of the prettiest (but coldest!) seasons in the year I think. What do you think?

I will post a photo tomorrow (I hope!)

Have a good weekend,
-Lily

Snow!

2010-12-01T14:40:00.000-05:00

Today we had our first snowfall. There isn't much snow at all (I mean it barely is sticking to the ground) but it happened! YEA! It was so exciting... to watch the snow come on down!

I will try to take some photos of just the snow, although many of you northerners will not be all that impressed since you have had much more snow already.

-Lily

PS: Here This much snow makes people wonder about school! Seriously:) (I mean if it will be cancelled)

Thanksgiving!

2010-11-27T17:29:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I just got home from Buffalo about 2 hours ago. My family and I went there to visit my Grandma and some other relatives for Thanksgiving. Unfortuanately I don't have too many photos, but I do have some photos of J.J (my new doll) that I took while we were there.

I posted some photos from Michigan (we're talking August!), and Chicago (mid Chicago!). I am really behind, so I used Weebly's new feature called a Slideshow. I also talk about my Girl Scout Silver Award Project, and late news. The photos appear as a slideshow, but you can see them on the side or bottom. Here is the link for the photos: www.agpixplace.net/photos-2010.html. Enjoy!

I will hopefully have the photos up of JJ by Christmas. I know there will be lots of holiday photos, so I will hopefully have my camera clear before then.

Have a good week, and I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.
-Lily

We'e Back :)

2010-11-06T17:12:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

We are back to the web :) We got our computer back today, and I am SO happy because now I can post twitter, blogger, and webpage posts :) There is so much to tell but I think I will go eat a little snack before I do anything else... Maybe tomorrow I can uplaod some photos from Chicago since it has now been 3 weeks since we got back... (pretty pethetic I know, but keep in mind I didn't have a computer for 2 weeks except for my parents computers at work!).

Have a good evening,
-Lily

No Posting

2010-10-27T14:39:00.002-04:00

Hi :) Unfortunately I will not be able to post for a while because my computer at home has a virus... So we unplugged it from the internet and we are going to take it in... so I don't know when I will next be able to post photos, because I don't have those here at my dad's work...

I will keep you posted when I am here :)

Last few days....

2010-10-14T18:43:00.001-04:00

Where has time gone?

2010-10-10T11:00:00.002-04:00

I would like to start off by apologizing that I haven't posted in over 2 weeks :( I really do try, but with 2 blogs and Homework (LOTS and LOTS of HW!), I do not actually find THAT much time do this :) (Hopefully things will go better next quarter, but I kind of doubt it ;0)

Oh well I suppose that is life :) I am going to try to post photos from our Trip to Michigan in AUGUST today, but I sort of don't think I will have time because I am only taking a break from Soc. Studies homework now. (I tell you that Study Guide is Time Consuming ;0)

Please continue to enter my Give Away. I have the most entries I have ever had and you still have 1 week to enter ;) WoW! The link is here: www.agpixplace.net/give-aways.html.

I will email you if you win and I need it :)

I do have a photo that isn't related to AG to show you. It is my school photo from this year. I think it is really nice. I will change it on my profile (unless it does it when you change your Google profile picture), as soon as I get the chance (which will be in 20 years!).

Have a good week, and I will do my BEST to post a S&TW (or at latest Thursday. lol. ;0)

I have to get back to work,

Give Away Update

2010-09-20T21:22:00.003-04:00

I am sorry I haven't posted in forever. My internet was being INCREDIBLY SLOW (like taking 10 minutes to load a site). We finally (in despirartion) decided to try restarting the dumb thing... :) All it needed was for the computer to be restarted. FIGURES :)

I have been REALLY busy, and haven't had time to update or start the Give Away... I will try to do it ASAP like this weekend or later this week. With my luck though something will come up and it will never get done :) I promise you the Give Away is something worth waiting for though.

Have a good week. I will try to update you with the madness around here (aka, at school, homework, activities, etc) sometime soon, but hopefully will have some new photos up soon.

With Love,
-Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 36

Hi Everyone,

I am SO shocked to be done my homework at 6:45, and to be able to post this message to you all. Please remember that most days I am still doing my homework until the time I go to bed. :(

Hopefully that will change:)

This week, I am going to show you a video of what I got at the American Girl outlet store, in Oshkosh WI. To find the location or more about it, I just googled "American Girl outlet store, Oshkosh, WI". I got the information I needed and we stopped there on the way home. On the video it talks about a Give Away that I was planning on starting Monday. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, so I will get you details about when I am planning on ending it. It will start this weekend (guarenteed since I can upload the video today, and just not post it until Saturday or Sunday)

Here is the video ;)

If you can't view it try clicking here, or you can go to YouTube and search agpixplace to find my videos and my channel :)
Have a good week,
-Lily

Long Weekend, and Webpage edits

2010-09-04T14:15:00.003-04:00

I can't believe it is finally a long weekend :)

It will take some getting used to of 5 weeks with only 2 day weekends... :(

As you know 8th Grade as brought on a lot of homework, for me... I will not be able to post as often, but I will be sure to try to post weekly :)

I have been in the process of editing my other website, so you may notice some interesting things over there, like new font, or new font colors, or something like that.

I am hoping to have all of my edits on the pages (you know- the fact that I am in 8th grade not 7th etc), fixed by next week (aka- Monday Sept. 6th, 2010).

If you have questions or concerns, you can email me at: agpixplace@gmail.com ;)

Have a good long weeeknd,

-Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 35?

2010-09-01T20:15:00.005-04:00

Sorry for not posting much at all... WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER. 8th grade has brought a TON of homework. I haven't had much time at all for blogging.

This is the first real time I have had time to blog except for Sunday.

This week I am going to show you a photo of me in San Francisco from this past spring, with Julie on my back. I am still planning on editing the other videos... it may just take a year :)

Here is the photo. Sorry for such a short post and that it's crooked, but in the photo viewer it isn't and I have uploaded it twice so... but I still have to go read....

New School Year... New Features!

2010-08-23T13:52:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I know it is a new school year for everyone (maybe yours has already started), but I will be having a Give Away soon, AND, I have a new feature on my webpage.

There are many different American Girl Fan webpages now, and since you may not have time to check them all out... I have created a solution!!

You may know that some places or groups have a ListServe, or an EMail Group. Well... I have my GMail group. :) I will email you to alert you when I have a Give Away, or something else that you may want to know. I will not junk up your inbox though. Please sign below or email me at agpixplace@gmail.com, and just let me know you would like to be on the EMail list. When you comment or email please tell me what topics you would like to be notified about.

If you have questions just email me at agpixplace@gmail.com, or post a comment below.

-Lily

Hello... Back to school:)

2010-08-23T10:01:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I can't believe school is either here for you, has started (if you are in KY), or for me is starting Wednesday. Where has summer gone?

All I can say, is that the summer flew by and I know I had a wonderful time. Hopefully you all had a good summer too. I know next year the summer will just go by faster as each year the summer seems to go by faster and faster:)

Have a safe and fun school year,
-Lily

Show and Tell Thursday? (Wed) Week 34

2010-08-19T21:48:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone. Welcome to what really is Show and Tell Thursday. :) (It is suppose to be S&TW but I forgot). OK!- Welcome to Show and Tell Wednesday Week 34. I am at 200 posts:) I can't believe that just a year and a half ago I was writing my first post!! :)

Ok. This week I am going to show you a photo from the 2nd part of the Photo Story I did in Michigan in June. This will be coming live hopefully soon along with photos from our last trip:)

Here is a photo:

Heather swimming

Also: I am planning on having a Give Away from the first week of September until the end of September. So look for details here and on my webpage:)

Have a good week,

-Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday vs. Thursday?

2010-08-19T09:40:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone:)

I forgot about Show and Tell Wednesdsay yesterday. How would you feel if I did a Show and Tell Thursday instead just this week. It would still be under the label "Show and Tell Wedn-esday", but since today is Thursday, then I figure that I really should call it S&TThursday. :)

I will try to post one later today. I am at my mom's work and don't have photos, so I can't post it right now:)

~Lily

Home...

2010-08-16T12:45:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,

Incase you don't read my other page, I am home:) It is so wonderful to be home:) On our way home from Michigan we stopped in Oshkosh, and shopped at the AG Outlet Mall at Prime Outlets. To read more click here... It is under the section: Outlet in Oskosh WI!!

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 33

2010-08-11T15:40:00.000-04:00

Hi:) Welcome to S&TW week 33. I can't believe how fast 33 (ok. really 34, or 35 since I have forgotten a few) have gone by.

This week I am going to show you a photo I took at my Grandma's house a few weeks ago. The photo was on a chair and I think it looks pretty good:)

Here is Kit and Rachel (JLY 4) posing.,

BUSY!

2010-08-08T13:10:00.002-04:00

Hi:) I am sorry I haven't been posting as much as I usually do lately. My Grandma is here and I have been loving every minute of her company:) I can't believe she is going home on Thursday:(

Liz's latest posts are really cool so check them out.

Ok. I am going to go post on my other page. (www.agpixplace.net)

Have a good day
~Lily

Woops!

2010-08-05T21:38:00.002-04:00

I was really busy and knew I was going to be busy on Wednesday so I pre-wrote this but forgot to pre-post it at the time. So I went back to "EDIT POSTS" and tried to change when it would post but it didn't work.

Sorry the S&TW has been up since Saturday saying "August 4th, 2010"!!

Come back for another S&TW (on Wednesday. lol.), next week.

~Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday week 32

2010-08-04T19:28:00.001-04:00

Here is a photo I took of Kit (in a cute hairstyle) on the way to Grandma's house a few weeks ago. (I know I just uploaded the photos on Saturday and they took FOREVER!!!!).

Here are 2 photos.

Here is one from the side

and one like Kit would take (in black and white).

Have a good day,

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 31

2010-07-21T17:56:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I just noticed that I posted S&TW Week 31 on Monday. I was at my dad's work and usually go on Wednesdays. So when I came home it was automatic for me to post one (even though I remembered at like 9:30 at night).

To see the post click here!! I would have posted this on Wedensday but forgot that "today" (aka Monday) wasn't Wednesday.

I was at Hillforest today. I was at a American Girl camp there. I'll tell you more later.

Don't forget about my Give Away that ends on July 23rd, just 2 days away. Click here to enter.

Have a good day,
~Lily

Show and Tell Wednesday Week 31

2010-07-19T20:21:00.003-04:00

Hi. I am sorry this isn't more planned.

Because:

I was going to make a video of my "character" on InnerStar U, but the InnerStar U system is really slow right now...

Preview of Weekends Show it All:

I am going to show you a preview of the Weekends Show it All that I will be doing this upcoming weekend instead. These are from while Mia, Heather and Rachel were at "camp". lol. :)

Give Away:

Don't forget that there is still 4 days of my Give Away left. It ends on July 23rd, 2010. It is a Sports Package that you can win for FREE!! Click here to enter:)

So, here are the photos:

Crafts at Camp

A flower finished

Come back this weekend (to my webpage) to see the whole Photo Story complete:)

Have a good day,

-Lily

Good evening...

2010-07-18T20:27:00.002-04:00

Good Evening Everyone,

Show and Tell Wednesday:

Not much is happening here. I am planning on doing a Show and Tell (Week 31) tomorrow. I don't know what photo I will use ( I haven't been very good at planning lately), but I will find one and post it!!

Weekends Show it All:

Also- I should be able to do a Weekends Show it All on my other webpage this weekend:) I am so excited. I have a photo story of Heather, Mia and Rachel "at camp". I have to add my "www.agpixplace.net" onto the photos and then post them, but that is about all. Infact- it is kind of lengthy so I may do the whole story over 2 or 3 Weekends Show it Alls, but we'll see!

New Posting Format:

Do you like the new posting format? No one has left a comment so I don't really know if you like it more than the old posting format or not. Please leave a comment and let me know:)

Give Away:

Don't forget about my Give Away(<-- link)! It ends on July 23rd, 2010 so enter today! So far we have 7 entries, so if you enter there is a pretty good chance it will be you. The prize is a "Sports Package" that I put together. One girl asked if you had to pay. I replied on the comments, but Britt... you DON'T have to pay if you win. I pay the shipping costs. I will try to have monthly Give Aways. I already have one for August:)

Ok... I think this pretty much closes our post.

Have a good night,

~ Lily

New Post/ New Post Format!

2010-07-16T14:36:00.003-04:00

Hi Everyone, it's Lily:) I have just posted on my webpage. (<-- link).

"New Posting Format"
I am trying a new "posting" format. I am putting sub-headings for each different subject that is in the post. That way you can see all of the different topics that are in the post and then read the ones you are interested in if you don't have time/ don't want to read the whole (LONG) post.

"Table of Contents"
I may even put like a "Table of Contents" at the top of the post so you know what I am talking about in the post before you have to scroll down.

Give Away:

Don't forget about my Give Away. (<-- link) It ends on July 23rd, 2010. One week from today.

Please leave a comment about how you like this new format!

-Lily

Show and Tell Week 30

2010-07-14T22:35:00.003-04:00

Welcome to S&TW Week 30. If you don't know what S&TW is click here. (<-- link). I am sorry I am posting this so late. I forgot about it until now. So I didn't get a chance to put the http://www.agpixplace.net/ onto the photos. (YES!- http://www.agpixplace.net/ and http://agpixplace.blogspot.com/ are owned by the same person (aka Lily), so the Copyright would be the same).

S&TW Explanation:

In Michigan I perched my dolls onto this buerau/ shelf in the hotel we stayed in since it takes 2 days to get to the part of the UP we stay in. So here is a photo I took. It is so easy to get photos of dolls, and I never realized that until very recently. So lets take a look at the photo.

Rachel (top) , Mia (bottom Left) and Heather (bottom right) in the hotel in MI.

Give Away Reminder:
Time is running out to enter my GiveAway. Please click here (<-- link) to see the page. The deadline is July 23rd, 2010. I will pick the winner July 24th or July 25th and let you know who won the Give Away ASAP.

Have a good day,
-Lily

InnerStar U!

2010-07-14T08:51:00.002-04:00

Hi Everyone,

I am SO Glad that InnerStar U!- is here. I am a little upset though because you have to buy a new doll to be able to get an account. I understand there are a few games you can play without a doll/ "membership", but still that is kind of dissapointing:(

Leanna told me (on Liz's site) that you can just buy a $10 package but I don't know where you can do that. Does anyone know? If you don't that's okay because my mom emailed American Girl and asked if there was another way you could join without having to pay for a "My American Girl" Doll. If the $10 package exsits then AG will tell my mom how she can get one:)

Have a good day. I am planning on doing a Show and Tell Wednesday today. Sorry I forgot to do one last week!

-Lily

Buffalo:)

2010-07-11T21:37:00.000-04:00

Hi:) I just got back from Buffalo about 4 hours ago:). I took some photos and will post those soon...

We were visiting my dad's mom, and other relatives. We were thinking we might go to Niagra Falls because NF is so close to where Grandma lives but we didn't get a chance.

I will post some of the photos a little later:)
-Lily

Link Fixed...

2010-07-06T16:03:00.001-04:00

Hi. I fixed the link on my homepage that says "Give Aways". I realized yesterday that it went to AmericanGirlFan.com. I fixed that so that it now goes to the right place: www.agpixplace.net/give-aways.html. Remember the last day to enter is July 23rd:)

Have a great day,
-Lily

Video...

2010-07-04T18:39:00.003-04:00

Hi:) I am going to show you a video of what I have been up to today. My bed still isn't cleared off, but it will be by tonight. :)

My closet that holds my dolls' clothing was getting kind of full, so my mom decided to clear it out and re-arrange:) Here is a little video. I will post another video when it is complete.

I can't get the whole HTML code to get on. Please click here to see the video. (The link goes to my webpage not YouTube). Don't forget about my Give Away: www.agpixplace.net/give-aways.html! Go enter before it's too late.

-Lily

PS: happy 4th of July

Google Accounts

2010-07-03T15:23:00.003-04:00

I have decided to restrict comments. You can only comment on HERE if you have a Google Account. If you don't have a google Account you can email your comment to me and I will post it for you (if you would like).

Have a good day,
-Lily

Don't Forget...

2010-07-03T13:03:00.003-04:00

Hi. Please don't forget to enter my Give Away. The deadline is July 23rd, 2010. If you would prefer to send me an email with your entry you can do so: agpixplace@gmail.com. Otherwise, just stop by the Give Away page (<-- link), and leave a comment. You will have to hit the number of comments at the top of the post and then scroll down to leave your comment.

I should have the winners up by July 24th or 25th!!

ALSO!!- If you haven't already; please stop by www.americangirlfan.com, and leave Liz a comment. Her site is amazing and I can't believe how fast 2 years have gone by. I first found Liz's webpage in August 2008. I had clicked her webpage by accident, and didn't really think to follow it. Then in November 2008; I found it again and that is when I started following. Liz is such a great "web friend". I'm sure she will value your comment a lot!

Have a good day,
-Lily

Please...

2010-07-02T17:35:00.001-04:00

Hi. Please stop by Liz's webpage and wish her a Happy 2nd [webpage] Anniversary. She has been such a good friend, and has a wonderful webpage.

Remember....

2010-07-01T08:44:00.003-04:00

So this morning I came across a comment that thought that I was running my website like a business, and thought that my comments on Liz's site looked as if I thoguht I was "popular".

You cannot see that comment though because I deleted it. Please remember that I can delete your comment if I wish, and that when you post a comment it says to: " Please be kind and considerate to people :) And don' say rude comments because I have the right to delete them:))." My webpage isnt' very popular I know, but YOU should let the people who want to enjoy it, enjoy it.

I am not saying this to most of you, because you already do all of these things, but I am saying this to the person who left the comment, and some other people who may in the future.

Have a good day,
-Lily

Give Away

2010-06-30T20:57:00.003-04:00
