Hello!

Today, we are going to be interviewing Melody from Pink Melody!

1. What is your name (or Blogger name) and age (if you don't want to say your age, that is just fine :)?  Tell us a little bit about yourself.

My name is Melody Melone, but please call me Melody. ;)  I'm 13 years old.  I've always wanted a pet, but I can't have one because people in my family are allergic, so I fill that wish with stuffed animals!  I have tons of Build a Bears, (plus a '55 teddy bear) and just random fuzzy friends. ;)

2. What are your blogs about, and why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because my best friend Piper blogs and I thought it looked like so much fun!  I'm not really sure what my posts on Pink Melody are about.. Just my everyday life with a few twists of randomness. ;)

3. What are your hobbies?

I love to swim!  It's my favorite sport, and I've been on the team for about three years.  Other then that, writing.  Me and Piper write stories together, and it's a lot of fun to just let your imagination run wild!

4. If you are a doll lover, how many dolls do you have, and which ones?  If you are not a doll lover, how often do you go to the library?

I have two American Girl dolls.  Elizabeth Cole, and a doll I designed to look like me.  Her name is Olivia.  My older sister has Josefina, but she lets me have her in my room along with my other two. :)  The happy trio has loads of fun together!

5. What is your favorite book (or book series)?

A Charmed Life.  It's SO good!  Piper lent it to me!

6. What is your favorite movie?

I love so many movies!  But if I had to pick just one, I'd have to say Princess Bride.  It's a classic!

7. Do you prefer to watch the movie before reading the book, or do you prefer to read the book before watching the movie?

I'm not really sure. :P  I have seen the Lord of the Rings movies, but I never read the books, because the small print is a little daunting. ;)

8. What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

Strawberry all the way!

9. What is your most favorite place that you've ever been to?

We went to a National Park this last year called Death Valley.  I know it sounds weird, but it was a really cool place and it was so much fun sightseeing.

10. What do you like best about my blog?

Well for one thing I love your design!!  It's so cute!

11. What would you do to improve my blog?

Nothing. :)  I love it!

12. What are your top 5 favorite blogs?

Ooh that's a toughie!  I love all those wonderful blogs out there!

Interviews!!!

Hey Everyone!

I have started doing interviews on my blog!  I have a new page for interviews (check it out here), and all you have to do is answer the questions and send them to me either in a comment or via email.  Interviews are a great way to get the word out about your blog, and I would love to help you gain readership!

To kick off the start of my interviews, I have interviewed my sister, Lindsay, from Stories By Me!

1. What is your name (or Blogger name) and age (if you don't want to say your age, that is just fine :)?  Tell us a little bit about yourself. 

Hi!  My name is Lindsay, and I am 10 years old.  I have five pets; two dogs, two kittens, and one fish!  I love pets very much, and when I'm older, I hope to be a professional dancer and a veterinarian, at least right now. :)  I love to hang out with my family and play with my sister.

2. What are your blogs about, and why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because my sister, Grace, started, and it looked really fun!  My blog, Stories By Me, is about my stories, my adventures, and my thoughts and feelings.  Occasionally I do other kinds of posts, though.

3. What are you hobbies?

I love to dance!  I have been dancing since I was three, and it's my true passion.  I also enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking/rafting on the lake, hiking, bike riding, hanging out on the beach, swimming, making friends, skiing, and playing in the snow!  I like doing lots of things!

4. If you are a doll lover, how many dolls do you have, and which ones?  If you are not a doll lover, how often do you go to the library?

I am definitely a doll lover!  I really enjoy playing with American Girl Dolls!  I have three dolls, and I love them very much!  I have two gorgeous My American Girls; MAG #55 (Kate), and MAG #24 (Fern).  I also have the 2012 Girl of the Year, McKenna Brooks.  All of my dolls have lots of hair!

5. What is your favorite book (or book series)?

The Mother Daughter Book Club Series.  I also really like Wendy Mass's books!

6. What is your favorite movie?

The Sound of Music comes first, but I also really like the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies.

7. Do you prefer to watch the movie before reading the book, or do you prefer to read the book before watching the movie?

I'm not sure.  Normally I read the book before watching the movie, but it's not that I like one better than the other.

8. What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

Well, it's a sherbet.  Wild and Reckless from Baskin Robbins is my favorite!

9. What is your most favorite place that you've ever been to?

Hmmmmmmmmm, I really like DisneyLand!

10. What do you like best about my blog?

That you include lots of pictures, and write about your experiences.

11. What would you do to improve my blog?

A bit more AG posts.

12. What are your top 5 favorite blogs?

I like all kinds of blogs, and I don't want to name favorites.

13. Would you be interested in guest posting on my blog?

Definitely!  I would be honored to post on your blog!

Thanks for letting me do this interview!

Thank you, Lindsay!  I really enjoyed your interview!

Our New {Super Awesome} American Girl Doll House!!!

Hi!

Guess what??  Lindsay and I have reorganized and revamped our AG house!  It is SO COOL!!!!!  We LOVE it!  Here is a tour:

 An overview of the house.  We used foam boards for the walls.

My dolls' room (farthest to left in house).

 Their little bed area.  I really need to get some bedding on their beds!

Their dresser, plus their laundry basket that I found at Target for $1.

 Their 'vanity'.  I love this area!

 Their little shelf.  {From L to R} Words to Live By, mini Vaseline lip balm, another mini lip balm, Audrey's knitting basket.

 Frames that I need to fill :).  A mini Eiffel Tower from my special friend, Claire.

Lindsay's dolls' room. (Middle of the house)  McKenna, Kate, and Fern are sleeping! :) 

 Their bed.  Lindsay joined all three beds (AG boxes) together.  You can't see it in this picture, but I actually sewed a huge, long pillow for their bed!

 A cute little desk.

The living room/dining room. (Farthest to left in house)  Elizabeth, Hailey, and Audrey are chilling out!

 Their little dining table.

What do you think?  We absolutely adore it!  We will be doing a video tour soon on our YouTube channel, FantasticalAGStudios!

I'd love to see your AG houses!  Have a great day!

Screaming Rabbit!

Hey Guys!

I was watching pet videos the other day, and one video that popped up as 'suggested' was called 'Screaming Rabbit.'  Well, with a title like that, you just have to click on it, right???  So, I did.  It is probably one of THE FUNNIEST videos I have EVER seen.  I have probably watched it over 100 times now (I am seriously not exaggerating, ask anyone in my family :).  My family is getting annoyed with me, but I laugh so hard every time, I can't even laugh!  Does that ever happen to you?  It totally happens to me all the time!!!  I wanted to show you the video, because it is JUST SO FUNNY!!!!!  Enjoy!

I'm laughing so hard right now!!!!  Ok... calming down.  I LOVE THIS RABBIT!!!!

And, uh, yes, I realize that it is not really the rabbit screaming, but, I mean, it is just so funny!!!!

What do you think?  Have you found any hilarious videos lately?

Have a great day!
