My Ever After High wishlist!

So, I made EAH wishlist. Now, when I say wishlist, I mean it's more like a plan. I've had my AG and MH wishlists for a while, but I just couldn't get into the mood to do an EAH wishlist. Now, I was in the mood!
So, I'm now going to share my wishlist! Please know, I'm not trying to boast or do anything similar to that.

First, I would like to get Cerise, as she's been out for a while. Then, I would like to get getting fairest Maddie, and then C.A. Cupid.

Next, I would like  To get Cerise and Blondie together.

Then, I will purchase "character hauls" which is where I purchase 2 of a character.

So first, Legacy day and getting fairest Raven

Then the same with Briar

Then the same with Apple.

Next, and lastly, I would like to get the play sets. First Raven's dorm and then Apple's couch.

I'm going to e-bay!

I have made the decision... I am going to e-bay and buy slo mo! He is NOWHERE!!! In my area, he's just not going to show up. Besides... he is now going for as low as $26! I plan to buy him soon as I get enough money. I feel so drained!

Here's what I want...

Emily mini doll

MH Frights Camera action honey swamp and black carpet lagoona

Plus...
MH
ghoul spirit line
dead tired wave 3 line

EAH... Each doll is Aprox. $21... I want/need 11 dolls, plus I just found out there's a new doll line Hat tastic coming out! I don't have the other play sets either. That's over $200. I know, it's a problem/

Don't even get me started on my AG wishlist.

Let's talk about dolls

So, with all the rumors and stuff, it is just crazy, here's my plan to get through all the craziness

  1. Get mini Emily before mini dolls possibly change
  2. Get the rest of Molly's books. I just need 3,4,5,6,and her last mystery, clues in the shadows
  3. I am wanting Kaya for my b-day, so I am going to save up money for other items i am not going to put on my wishlist
  4. I am totally putting MAG stuff on the back of my list, plus keep in mind I also collect MH and EAH dolls.
  5. Marie grace haul! I hope to get MG, her accessories, dog, lacy parasol, and pj's together. Then I will have to get the other stuff. I may get Cecile, I may not.
  6. Rebecca is who I want to collect for next, but probably not for the next few years.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with all the stuff you want? Here's my tip!
Set a monthly goal. Say I am going to purchase item, item and item this month. Also make sure to save your money and budget! 

I wish good luck to all the collectors out there!

Kaya's story review (Books 1-3)

So, I have read Kaya's first,second,and third books, so I thought I would do a review on them all.

Meet Kaya-
This book is wonderful. It tells the story of how Kaya gets her bad nickname, as well as giving more facts and information on Nimmipu culture. If you have a young child who is going to be reading these books, I recommend you have an adult read with them, as younger children might have lots of questions about Nez perce culture. One thing I love about Kaya's books is that I always wanted to read the next one. I can't wait to pick up books 4,5,and 6.

Kaya's escape-
In this book, Kaya's  village is raided. Kaya and her friend speaking rain are taken captive to another village. I did not enjoy this book as much as the first one. For 1, Kaya loses 2 things that are very important to her. ( Don't want to spoil anything) The book really just did not follow in the great footsteps that Meet Kaya did.

Kaya's hero-
I enjoyed this book, but at the same time I did not like it. This book tells the story of how Swan circling become's Kaya's friend. Only thing is... There is a death in this book. I would tell you, but I don't want to spoil it unless you haven't read the books.

Overall, Kaya's books are great! As soon as I finish one, I immediately want to read another! One thing I would change is all the tragedy that happens in Kaya's story. Definitely have a parent nearby to answer any questions little kids may have. If your child is going to be really young, I would recommend waiting till they're at least 7 or 8 before they read her books. I definitely want to get books 4,5, and 6 so I can finish reading the series. Out of 5 stars, I would give it 4 stars. It is not the best series ever, but is still a good really good read.

Doll find!


So, today I went to a renaissance fair with my friend. I went to a table where they had souvenirs, and they had mini hats! Now, they were mini hats for humans. They have 2 clips to hold the hat in your hair. But... It works perfect as doll sized hats!

Just keep hunting!

Innerstar-u, why do I not have time!



So, I do have an innerstaru account, but I have like no free time, so i rarely play on it. I also think my account is messed up because I can't find any new projects. One thing that upsets me is when I see people giving away innerstaru codes, I mean, that's YOUR CODE. btw, you can actually register multiple dolls on one account. I don't know why, I'm just not in favor about this. Plus, I think it's kind of boring not to have the doll to pay with online. So, be sure to keep your codes!

*NEWS*

News, news, news! ( News, newsy news, news time with news newsman. - My music, Youtube)

Wow, what a lot of news!

First of all, The new Canada AG stores will open May 3rd!!! Keep in mind that these stores will not have historical characters, or doll hospital admissions. I don't think they will have bistros, but I'm not sure.

Secondly...
Okay, this is not technically news

AG replacement meet outfits, the $$ is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
Let me show/tell you?

( This comes from Rhonda at livingadollslife.blogspot.com)
So, someone e-mailed AG to ask about replacement meet outfits ( For Molly and kit) and got these results

Kit

  • Meet outfit ( Sweater, skirt, jacket) $20
  • Kit's sandals $10
  • Kit's underwear $8 Wow, I can make a pair of doll underwear for less than that
  • Kit's barrette $2
  • The total for the complete meet outfit is $40
Molly's complete outfit is $48

With the $, it's just cheaper to buy almost 2 outfits from AG!!!! 
Now, kit's barrette, that price is reasonable. The sandals, okay, I can see you there. 
Meet outfit, I think it should be cheaper, it's not a full outfit w/ shoes or accessories!
The underwear, just save money and use a t-shirt sleeve.

Also, if you go check out My froggy stuff stuff They have cute doll sized wall outlet and light switch printables for your doll house.

Camp doll diaries 2014!!!!

A little while ago, Doll diaries announced the return of camp doll diaries! If you watch me on youtube, you know that I loved camp doll diaries last year, and I can't wait to do it this year to! If you don't know what camp doll diaries is, it is a virtual online camp where everyday, the doll diaries team will post a daily craft! It doesn't have to be AG dolls, it can be other toys to! It is all free choice ( you can decide what to do). I'm sure more information will be announced, but I do know that the doll diaries team is already working on it!

Here is all of my camp doll diaries stuff from last year:


Don't worry, all the posts from last year are still on the website! I made the name tags, sit upons, and the signs from kkollect's tutorial. 

Go here: http://dolldiaries.com/camp-doll-diaries-2014-announcement/ to learn more. You can also search their website for camp doll diaries 2014.
I love the new logo doll diaries posted, it has a rainbow!
I also need to get to work on making Anna Clare a name tag, as this will be her first time here!

*Please vote*
If you haven't noticed, I put up a new poll. Tell me which posts you want to see more of, so I can observe and plan posts accordingly. It seems that AG posts get more views, so I wanted to see what you guys like the most!

Camp starts the last week of may with a week of "camp prep" and then continues ALL SUMMER!!!!
Get excited folks, I can tell this year will be AWESOME!!!!
