From the Dolls Perspective- Amber (6)

I wish, wish, wish, wish I could live with my cousins! I ALWAYS tell them this but then they just tell me just how much of a pain they think another sibling is. At least they have a sibling! I'm an only child, and trust me, Its not fun. My parents are nice, and I have good friends, but I wish I could just have a constant companion!

Anywhoo, Sorry if that first paragraph sounded like something from Dr. Phil! Ive been addicted to Dr. Phil and Oprah, and even Ellen Degeneres! There is only so much a person can take! I've also been swamped with Speech and Debate. The team president says we all need to construct a case for both the prosecution and the defense. Something about "being prepared". Whatever! I got to go, my mom needs help with girl scout cookies. I used to be in Girl Scouts, and somehow the old group roped her into being cookie mom again!

Love,
Amber

From the Doll's Perspective- Violet (5)

Greetings everyone, Violet Walker here. It may not seem like it, but I am over the moon! I GOT PERFECT MARKS ON MY GEOMETRY EXAM! But, I can't say the same for Carmen. Lets just say she got half of them wrong (do the math). Mom was furious, of course, who wouldn't be? Carmen had spent the whole time diddling around with her stupid friends when she could have been memorizing her figures.

Lydia and Sierra are also super ecstatic. Lydia gets to be in a commercial! She heard something on the radio and called in and scheduled an appointment all by herself. I thought mom would be mad, but on the contrary, she was pleased! She was proud of Lydia for taking the initiative and creating an opportunity for herself. Lydia has much more gusto as a seven year old tun I did.

Sierra also qualified for a really prestigious band camp in Pennsylvania. It starts March 1 and Im really excited for her. She has already picked out her outfits for the week, modern and professional of course, and she is even saving her babysitting money to buy an advanced flute! Im no flute major, but form what Ive heard it is a big step up. It's made of silver and plated with gold and even has open holed keys! id say the only unhappy person is Carmen, but she always has a sour attitude. She just shuts everyone out and listens to her music. I'll talk to you later!

Love,
Violet

Thoughts on the New AG Releases

Hey there readers! As you probably know, AG just released a BUNCH of new stuff. And, well, I have some...thoughts. Let's get started!

MyAG:

Shimmer and Lace Party Dress

This is actually really pretty! It's a tad bit overpriced for what you get ($30 for a dress, shoes, and hairclip), but it looks better quality than some of the other new releases.

Pretty Ballet Set

From the remant bin of Isabelle prototypes comes a mix and match ballet set! I love this! /sarcasm

Sparkly Jazz Outfit

No. Just, no. I pity any doll who is forced to wear this.

Soccar Team Outfit

Let's just say that sports and I have a bitter history, and my dolls share my hatred of them. Moving on.

Boho Beachy Swimsuit

I appreciate the modest one piece, but that PRICE!

Sunshine Garden Outfit

This outfit's great! For a five year old.

Sunshine Gardening Bench

Meh. It's a side table with a few gardening accessories. Like everything else, it's way too overpriced.

Beforever

Julie's Mix Print Maxi Dress

Erm, this may have been stylish in the 70's, but today it looks like a hot mess.

Julie's Skateboarding Set

Not too bad, but the skateboard's way too small! It would even be small for my Ever After High dolls!

Kit's Chicken Keeping Set

CHICKEN! Um, I also like the...um...CHICKEN!

Rebecca's Seashore Set

Uh...the boots are nice?

Addy's Dress and Sewing Set

Let's just say me, Elizabeth, and Saige want this. :D

Kaya's Fancy Shawl Set of Today

Pretty, but I have no need for this as I don't have Kaya.

If it's alright, there's SO much new Sam stuff that I'll just sum up my reaction in one sentence: justgobackintoacrchivalokayokgoodbyegetoutofmyfaceSamluvyabye

So, those are my thoughts! Have a good night everypony!

Love, 

Vera

From the Doll's Perspective- Carmen (4)

Ok, time for me to set the story straight, I AM NOT THE BAD GUY! Every single post I've read so far has made me seem like the stereotypical teenage girl. And while I very well may be, I think I should be the judge of it. I'm so glad the ice melted because now soccer has started up again. I'm so relieved, I was starting to go mental!

Soccer just is a place where I vent all of my anger. Violet brags: intercept the ball. Lydia whines: Make a beautiful pass. Sierra practices her god forsaken flute: Kick the ball as hard as I can into the goal. I don't really mind Sierra's flute playing. She is an amazing flutist, but she plays all the wrong music. I don't want my Arctic Monkeys and Panic at the Disco to be interrupted by Mozart and the B flat scale, thats common knowledge!

I have this big Geometry quiz on Monday and I don't know when I am going to find the time to study. While Violet has had it in her calendar for weeks now, I am just now scrambling and It is Friday. Two days may seem like plenty of time, but believe me, its not. Saturday morning I have a soccer game, and later in the afternoon Anniece has a horseback riding competition that I promised to go to. At 6:00 in the morning on Sunday I have o go down the street to babysit Kailey and Amber, and then I have plans to go to the mall and see a movie with my BFF's. I'll probably study in the car like i usually do. I don't even know why I bother freaking out because I always end up studying the day of!

Love Goodbye,

Carmen

Welcome Anniece and Kailey!

Hello Everyone! Im Anniece! My mom, Valerie, found me and my baby sister Kailey at a local goodwill and adopted me into her amazing family!

 I still need shoes!

My old owner really beat me up, but now I am good as new! Kailey was fine, and didn't need very much, but I was serious. Valerie had to: Sew back on my head,wash my hair, style my hair (which is no easy task!), re-glue my eyelashes, wash my clothes, and clean my skin! I can't wait to be in this blog more! Toodles!

How To Make Macaroons for Dolls

Hey guys! Today, Valerie and I had no school due to icy roads. Yay! I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and make the doll macaroons I had been meaning to make. Let's get started!

1. Assemble your supplies. You will need...

-white oven bake clay

-pastel oven bake clay

-clay shaping tools (optional)

-aluminum foil 

-small pan

2. Cut a small slab of one of your pastel clays.

3. Roll the slab into a small ball.

4. Press down on the ball in the center with your thumb.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 two more times; once with the same pastel color, once with white.

6. Take the white circle and squish it between your fingers.

7. Use one of the clay shaping tools to make the edges wiggly (for lack of a better term).

8. Stack the three blobs together.

9. Repeat steps 2-8 as many times as you need to make multiple macaroons.

10. Line the pan with aluminum foil, and place the macaroons in.

11. Bake the clay according to the packages directions.

12. Voila! Tasty macaroons for dollies everywhere!

 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! If make this craft and want to show it off, email pictures to valerieandvera@gmail.com. Have a great day!

Love,

Vera
