1.5

It amazes me. One and a half YEARS I have been posting on this blog! Can you believe it?! I really can't. I would have PROBABLY given up blogging if I hadn't known that 34 people follow me. I mean, sure, I wouldn't have DELETED my blog or anything, but I considered stopping posting.

But, why I am talking about such things?! This is a HAPPY occasion! And, also today, it's Phoebe from Love That Doll's 1.5 Blogoversary, too! :D She is really important to me, because she was the one that caused me to blog in the first place! I'm sure that most of you have heard of her blog, but if you haven't, then check it out HERE!!! She's pretty awesome, and she's one of my closest friends! :D

My dolls are doing pretty good right now, and I'm shocked. Just ABSOLUTELY shocked, that I'm still into dolls! Five years, twelve dolls. That's pretty awesome. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that I'm moving into other interests right now! ;D

Well, have you guys ever been shocked that it's been _____ years since you got your first AG doll, and you STILL love collecting dolls today? Comment and tell me!

~Miranda

Merry Christmas everyone! :D

Have you guys been enjoying today so far? I know I have! :D

I WOULD have taken pictures of my new dolls(NOT AG dolls), but I couldn't find my camera! :( BUT... since I CAN tell you about them, and you can Google image them if you REALLY want to know what they look like, I got Akoya(a Pullip) and Arashi(a Taeyang). They're both ninjas, and I was LITERALLY spazzing out last night about them! :D Sadly, when I was taking Arashi out of his box, his foot like, BROKE, but it's okay... I've got a plan to fix it... d:

I also got two new AG outfits! One is this A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E dress, and the other is this hard to describe outfit! On top of that, I got an accessory set, and it basically has a newsboy hat, ipod(with headphones), purse, belt, and a scarf. The hat is REALLY cute, and I think it's not my favourite thing ever. ;D

My dad gave me a how to draw Manga book, and some special markers for doing so!

I got some other stuff(and enough choclate to last me several days, since that's probably all I will consume! XD) but it's kind of minor, and I'll probably bore you even more than I already have if I tell you about it! XD I tend to ramble a lot...

Well, Happy Holidays everyone! :D I hope you guys got what you wanted for Christmas! ;)

~Miranda

I made something! :D

For now, I won't have pictures, mostly because my camera doesn't have batteries. :(

BUT, I made a tee shirt for my dolls today! :D WHY is this so amazing??? Well, this is the first actual piece of clothing I made for my dolls! :o

I'm quite proud of it.

PEACE OUT!!!(well, I'm not EXACTLY one for TOTAL peace... lol)

~Miranda

Call me "over-thinker", but...

I already have my whole Christmas wish-list figured out! :D

Since I have nothing better to do, I thought I'd list it out!(Oh, and mind you I was going to buy about half of the stuff on the list, okay?!)

Jesse(#48)

Kanani's Ukulele set

Kanani's party dress

Kanani's Aloha outfit

Hawaiian Monk Seal

Special Mini Kit

Special mini Rebbecca

Special mini Kirsten

Special mini Felicity

Merry and Bright Dress

Holiday accessories

Frosty party outfit

Coconut pajama's

Sporty Winter outfit

Snowshoe set

Cozy Sweater outfit

Sweet School Dress(maybe.)

... Sure, it's a little lengthy, but considering I'm going to buy about half of this stuff myself with my own money, WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!?!?!

Kit and Ruthie MIGHT be retired this year, and THAT would screw up my AG buying plans.

Sad. :(

You know that feeling you get when you do something you love, and it brings joy to your hearts? Most likely that feeling when you play with(or "pose") your AG dolls? Well, I've been feeling like my dolls and I are becoming "disconnected". I just don't feel like they bring happiness to me anymore. And no, I haven't been feeling this way towards my dolls for a long time, it's just been this last week.

Now. What REALLY worries me about my dilemma, is that this is the same way I felt when I stopped playing with Littlest Pet Shop when I was ten(it was my favourite toy, okay?!) So, yeah, I'm really scared about what I might do with my dolls. I don't feel like getting any new ones, or getting them new clothes, or even just picking them up!

Have any of you felt this way before? And, if you did, COMMENT AND TELL ME HOW YOU DEALT WITH THIS!!!

~Miranda

A bunch of whoas.

Okay. Well, now that I FINALLY have some free time with my newly arrived spring break, and being alone in the house for a while, I decided to catch you people up! So. On Tuesday, my AG stuff came!(I ordered AG stuff on Thursday) :D I got Kanani's collection, Willow(for my B-day, though. :( ) the chocolate gasses, birthstone earrings, the photographer outfit, Chocolate Chip, Kanani's PJ's,(which is for my birthday,) but her chair and the MAG travel set are back ordered. So, I have been ecstatic. Oh, and the Friday BEFORE I got my HUGE package, my mom gave me Lanie's pajamas, and her whole nature set and outfit. I'll show pics on my other blog later. I read my little Math story to a bunch of fourth graders on Friday, and It was alright. I had to ask them what Pi times 2.25 was, not because I didn't know what it was, but because I had to see if they knew how to solve for a circle's circumference. I went to a BUNCH of stores yesterday, and I was T.I.R.E.D. This included an exotic bird store my relative wanted to visit, because that's what her business revolves around. They had a Hyacinth Macaw at the store! :o Other than my usual laziness, I haven't done... WAIT! Yesterday morning at 8:08 A.M., I had to perform in a room with my ensemble, which meant I had to wake up at 5:40. :( Other than me(one of four flutes) and one of the three clarinet players, we SUCKED. Everybody else SUCKED. But, that's mean... :( That's really it this time. NOTHING else... WAIT! My relative and I cleaned my bedroom, so now Kanani has a bedroom! :D Okay, now that is SERIOUSLY it! :) What have YOU done in my absence? ~Miranda

Doll decisions

I have two dolls that I really want. It took me forever and a whole school day to decide on them! I want(when I say want, I mean WILL GET) #33 and #23. I was going to get a doll named Lucile Conea(from France) and she was the caramel coloured hair and blue eyes doll, but I'll get her next year! :)

Free shipping has started, so you know, I'm planning all my AG purchases for my birthday, Easter, and everything! I did NOT have any LJC items, :(, BUT, I AM getting a few outfits I KNOW are being retired this year: the ballet outfit, Honey pj's, outdoor play outfit(camp themed), photography outfit, and the yoga outfit! The only outfit that is relatively new I am buying is the snowflake pajama set. IT'S SO FLIPPIN' PRETTY!!! :D:D:D:D:D Not to mention the GOTY, Kanani and her starter collection! :) Long, golden locks aren't far out of view...(stares dreamily into distance... :) ...)

~Miranda

Liberty Jane doll clothing!!! :D

Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVE their clothing! It's so... in, and I would LOVE to get some doll shoes, or buy some clothes patterns from there! Go to this link for Liberty Jane, trust me when I say this: you will LOVE the clothes! If you're a doll fan who's getting older, and you want to ditch your dolls(I would hate you if you did) then you can make them more "in"! Sorry that this is more of an advertisement than a post, but hey, I have good reasons!!! :D

~Miranda

Last day of winter break... :(

Let ALL of the retired goty's prices rise on eBay. I saw some pretty good deals. There was a $138 Jess doll, of course. But, one of my friends may sell her dolls someday, so I'm waiting for that. :) All of the snow has melted, so I'm sad. That means there WILL be school tomorrow. I don't want to wake up and do social studies! That's just wrong! Well, I may show some Animal crossing screens pictures, if you want to see them. I will take some more pictures of my dolls, and I will probably wait until they say which doll they're retiring this year until I ask for a doll for Christmas. Personally, I think it's Molly. But, I don't know for sure. My fingers are hunks of ice, same with my toes, so I think I'll blog more tomorrow. :)/:0/;)/:D

~Miranda

Oh, and my dolls are going to AGPPA in California, so check out Lily's blog!

Update on Kanani!

If I don't spend ANY money this year, I CAN AFFORD ALL OF KANANI'S STUFF!!! Well, except for her meet dress for girls, and the slippers for the pajama's, but I CAN AFFORD EVERYTHING I WANT! YAY!!! All I need is ONE more babysitting job! I'll probably make, ... $110 in three or four jobs, so, I KNOW will get about five jobs or so! I will order Kanani's starter collection when I can afford it in March or April, I AM HAPPY! I will get five dolls this year, and all of Kanani's stuff! EVERYTHING. Her luau dress, aloha outfit, the doll, everything else, even the shave ice stand! I AM BURSTING WITH JOY!!! I'm getting Molly and Emily's Beat friend collection for Christmas or my birthday, and I'm also getting Kit and Ruthie's best friend collection for my birthday or Christmas! I don't know which is retiring this year, so I'm getting both! With my babysitting money, I will buy some outfits for Kit and Molly. YES! I AM FILLED WITH BLISS!!!!!!!!!! :)/:D/;)/:0

I'm SUCH a smiley fanatic!!!

Should I change my blog title? I think I will. In fact, I am going to RIGHT after this post! Oh, and I have over 1,500 page views! I am happier. If that's even possible!

ACCKK!!!

DOLL PRICES ARE RISING!!! One doll WITHOUT accessories is now $100!!! YOU ARE KIDDING ME! I'm still going to get Kanani for my birthday, specifically her starter collection, I actually plan to get her, Molly, Emily, Ruthie, and Kit this year. I don't know if Molly or Kit is being retired this year, so I'm getting both! Man, FIVE DOLLS in one year! I need to get all the money I can get! I already have a plan: I get Kanani for my birthday, I buy Molly and Emily, and for Christmas, I get Kit and Ruthie! IT'S GENIUS! That means I'll have... FOURTEEN DOLLS BY THE END OF 2011! This will be THE BEST year EVER!!! Of course, I'm in debt to my parents, so... I won't get allowance until next Saturday... I'm ALREADY behind! It sucks. Well, Happy New Year, and Happy New Year for getting new dolls!!! :)

Goodbye, Lanie Holland. Let your prices rise on eBay. Oh, one more thing. Go on American Girl and look at Kanani! SHE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOLL I HAVE EVER SEEN! She has hair like mine, and I also have hazel eyes! She's a pretty doll.

My LAST doll is getting a blog!!!

Lanie's getting a blog! Hopefully, this won't end up like Chrissa's blog!!!

A post by Hollie

Hello, readers of Miranda's blog! I went out to THREE places in the past forty-eight hours! I went to see Tangled today, and it was AWESOME! I was kind of upset, because THREE kids pointed to me and said,"look, mommy! It's a dolly!" YEAH, big woop. I LIVE with eight dolls, people! It was kind of embarrassing, too. I mean, six-year-olds pointed to a person who was twice their age, and commented about her doll.

I'm going to Lily's holiday party with Gwen! Yep, Gwen might not be Lily's favorite guest, but she's DEFINITELY better than Sonali! Just so you know, Lily's JEALOUS of ME! We're both twelve, so I don't see- oh. Wait a MINUTE! I'm getting ALL of Miranda's attention, and Lily normally gets it! That's probably why I'm doing a post, and why Lily didn't invite me to her Christmas party! Gwen is taking a guest, so... I can go! I will be sure to take pictures of Lily's party, but I don't have too many things to wear right now... I stole Chrissa's pants so I could leave the house today, so that PROVES that I have NO CLOTHES! (well, to me, I have no clothes...)

Here's a bio of me: My hair is red, but goes blond in the sunlight. My eyes are hazel. My favorite color is purple, my favorite shoes are the JLY. meet shoes. Miranda and I are wearing matching shirts. I play basketball. I LOVE snowflakes. I read a LOT! I love shoes, and clothes. I have at least twice as good of grades as Sonali, and I have a B! Miranda: WHY did you mention your grades to the world?
Hollie: I was bored!
Miranda: Well, mention your PET!
Okay! My pet is a porcupine named Scarlet. I'm friends with everyone. I am twelve. My little sister Gwen is ten. I have a top bunk, Gwen has the bottom. I may join the Inside a dolls mind blog. My full name is Hollie Annabeth Jacobs. Gwen and I fight every day. I slapped Gwen when I met her. I am blogging right now. I will NOT go on innerstarU. Well, maybe.

Well, that's everything I can ramble on about today! Goodbye!!! ;)

Yea! In some ways...

I have a bunch of projects coming up, so I may not post 'til Friday night, and even then I have a big Social Studies project due next week, Soo... you may NOT , I repeat NOT, hear from me until next week is over! Why are ALL the school projects due in December? Do teachers not believe in the holidays? WHY?!?!?! I seriously don't know why, so if you do, PLEASE comment!!! :) Also, I've developed a personality for Maria! She plays basketball, is almost thirteen, her birthday is March 15, and her friends are lily and Chrissa(her new roommate is Chrissa, too! ) Her pet will be Coconut(I want her for my birthday next year) Do you think that Maria should have a blog, too? Ah, well, I'll make one for her anyways. Only my favorite dolls will have blogs, and those dolls are: Lily, Lanie, Chrissa, Maria, Felicity, and possibly Kirsten and her sisters, Gwen and Elizabeth... But not Sonali, DEFINITELY NOT Sonali! Sonali would expose ALL of my dolls, and it wouldn't be a pretty sight... So, for now................................................................................................................................................... PEACE OUT!!! :)


P.S. Which doll should I get next? Ruthie, Rebecca, Molly, Jesse, Emily, Kit, Kaya, Kanini, or Julie? I want any of those historicals, and the one JLY(I still call them that)

My FIRST photo story!!! :) :0

Chrissa had a fight with Sonali the previous day, and her friends/sisters had taken to her bed.

She woke with a yawn, and had begun to wipe the sleep out of her eyes.

She had realized that Lily Tazo was in her house, and Chrissa huddled up in a corner.

"GET OUT!" She screeched. Who would have guessed Lily was in her house!

"Good morning! Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, but why are you here?"

"I spent the night to make sure you were feeling better!"

"HEY! CHRISSA! OPEN UP!"

"Hi Lanie!" Lily peered to see who was there.

"It's me!"

"Hey! Glad to see ya!"

"Hey, Lanie!"

"Hey Lily!" Lanie waved back.

"I brought you a present to get you in the Christmas spirit! It's also a get well soon present! :)"

Chrissa gasped. no one had EVER given her ANYTHING like this!

"Thank you SOOO much!" Chrissa squealed. They embraced happily.

It fits in perfectly with Chrissa's decor.

I ORDERED MY NEW DOLL!!!!!!!!!!!

I thank all of you who voted, and I ordered......................................................................................
