McKenna books

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!

A new updated Holiday Blog

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

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!

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!

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!

We're Back LIVE with PHOTOS!

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...

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!

October?

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!

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!
