I'm Colorful... Are You?

Hi Everyone!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to my 2 new friends Sayoko and Vivy!!!  I now have 10 friends!!!  If I reach my goal of 30 friends (followers) by October 1st, I will host a giveaway!  On to the blog award:





1. Thank the person who gave you the award and leave a link

Thank you, Katie, from Katie In The Spotlight!

2. Why did you get a blog?

I had started a private blog a few years ago because of my wonderful friend Claire from Claire's American Girl Dolls, and then I stopped blogging.  I wanted to start blogging again, and now that I'm a little older, I have a public blog, and I'm more dedicated to the blogosphere! 

3. What is you favorite animal?

Hmmmm... That's hard!  Probably a dog or a cat.

 4. What inspired you blog template?

I don't really think I was 'inspired,' I just found this and I liked it!

5. What is/are you favorite color(s)?

Blue :o)

6. What is your favorite thing about your blog?

That I can write about whatever I want, and that people read everything I write and enjoy it (hopefully :).

7. What's your favorite blog?

I don't have a favorite blog.  I enjoy all of the blogs that are on the side of my blog, plus more that I've read that aren't up there yet.

8. Award five people this award.

1. Claire from Claire's American Girl Dolls

2. Madeline from Instantly British

3. Jess from Rosalyn's Blog

Our Entries For The Pink Dancer's Contest: Round 2 and Caroline Abbott

Hi!

First, I want to say THANK YOU to my new follower Arabesque!!  I now have 8 followers!  This makes me so happy.  I love finding blogs I enjoy and it is an honor when someone enjoys reading my blog enough to follow it.

Second, I know I haven't been posting a lot, but I have a lot of family visiting right now, so I will post more next week.  Sorry about that!

The Pink Dancer's Contest is on to Round 2!  This time, the theme is Wedding/Bridal Shower.  It was hard for me to think of something at first, but this is what I came up with.

Grace's Entry:

Wedding Cupcakes!  Classic Chocolate and Vanilla.  I made these today, and they turned out great!  This was really fun because I was able to combine my love of baking and photography into a project together.  Thanks again Lexie for inspiring creativity!!!

Lindsay's Entry:

McKenna in her wedding dress. (She's not getting married!:)

So, AG has some super exciting news!!!  They posted a real picture of their new historical doll, Caroline Abbott!  She is beautiful!

Here She Is:

I love her long, blonde, curly hair, and her beautiful eyes.  Her outfit is pretty cute, too.  Great job, AG!!  I can't wait to read about her in her books!  Do you plan on getting her when she comes out?

2 New Followers and Movie Tab

Hello!

I hope everybody had a nice weekend!  Thank you to my 2 new followers Grace and Kylee!!!  I get so excited when somebody new follows me, so if you like what you read, please follow! ;)

I was thinking that I would start a new tab/page on my blog about the movies I've watched this summer.  I'll start from June 1st, and go on from there.  It will take me a little while to get it up, because I'll have to look at what I've watched this summer.  What do you think?

I would love to hear about movies that you have watched and enjoyed, because it is hard to find good movies sometimes.  Have a nice night!

Hello!  This is an AG Photo Story that I made with Lindsay and my friend Claire.  To see Claire's Blog, click here, and to see her YouTube Channel, click here.  Here is the story:

{door opens}
Josefina: "Hello!"

Audrey and Kate: "Hello!"  

Josefina:  "Welcome to Tangled!  Are you the 1 o'clock?"  

Audrey and Kate:  "Yes, yes we are."  

Josefina:  "Great!  Your stylist will be right out."  

Audrey and Kate:  "Thank you!"

Audrey: "Hey Kate!  Look at all of these great magazines!"

Kate: "Oooooo!  I'm going to read Dance Teacher."

Audrey: "I'm going to read Pointe.  Elizabeth is a dancer, and she said it's a good magazine."

Hailey: "Hello, my name is Hailey.  I will be your stylist today.  Come take a seat."

Audrey: "I'm so excited!"  

Kate: "Me too!"  

Hailey: {rustling around trying to find the hairbrush} "So, what would you like me to do with your hair today?"  

Audrey: "I would like a surprise hairstyle."  

Hailey: "OK, that will be fun.  What about you, Kate?"  

Kate: "First, I would like to have my hair curled, and then, I would love to have some Drop Braids."  

Hailey: "OK, I can do that.  Ah, here is the hairbrush!"

Hailey: "I'm going to curl your hair, and then I'm going to let it dry while I work on Audrey's hair."  

Kate: "OK, sounds great!"

Hailey: "I'm going to start out by brushing your hair."

Hailey: "Your hair is so pretty, Audrey!"  

Audrey: "Thank you!"  

Hailey: "This hairstyle is going to look great on you."

Hailey: "And now for the final touches.  Brush the hair..."

Hailey: "...and blow dry.  You're all done!"

Hailey: "Here, you can look in the mirror."  

Audrey: "Wow, it looks great!  Thank you!"  

Hailey: "You're welcome!  I'm glad you like it!"

Hailey: "OK, Kate.  Back to you.  I'm going to finish drying your hair, and then I'll start on the Drop Braids."  

Kate: "OK."

Hailey: "I'm almost done.  This is the last braid."

Hailey: "What do you think?"
Kate: "It looks so pretty!  Thank you so much!"
Hailey: "You're welcome!  It looks really great on you."
Kate: "Thanks!"

Audrey: "Thank you so much, Hailey!  See you soon!  Bye!"  

Hailey: "Bye!"

Josefina: "Goodbye!  See you next time!"

Audrey and Kate: "Thank you!  Bye!"
