My blogoversery! (important stuff! You should read)

The title says it all! Well, more like only the very beginning. As you may have guessed, today, July 7, is my two year blogoversery! I know I haven't been the BEST blogger, or the most diligent blogger, or even the most polite blogger, in the past few years, but hey, I have some followers, and they all mean a lot to me. Seriously, you guys are the best. If I can get 1 more follower, I might do a special post involving some pictures that are NEW! =D

I know, shocker. But, I figured that I'm super DUPER bored, and it IS the summer, so... yeah. It's kind of hard for me to do doll photos right now because my doll room/house is DEMOLISHED. And, on top of that- Oh forget it. This is a happy day! :D

"You know, all of you guys who also followed my-OUR doll blog- are the BEST! I can't believe you guys actually care! Some of you even follow Lily's blog, and others follow all three! I love you, peeps." ~Gwen (doll party photoshoot)
And this photo, I took last summer around early July. I actually took it at Phoebe's house when we did our "Dolls and Basketball" thing! Willow(on the right) is mine, and Emily is Phoebe's. ;)

Seriously, though, you guys are the BEST! I don't even mind the fact that I've had 34 followers for the past year, I'm just glad I have that many!

In fact, I've decided that I'll have the rest of July set aside for requests! If there's any of my dolls you want to see a picture of, or a picture of them doing something together, please comment, send me a PM, something! Anything! If I see a request for a picture (pretty much anything except for what I or my family/friends look like. ;) Safety measures.) I will fill that request! :D

Anyway, you guys mean the world to me. It makes me feel like even though I have a relatively unstable personality, there are some people out there who care. ;)

30 Day Photo Challenge

Most of you have probably heard about the 30 day photography challenge from Phoebe's blog, and I decided to start doing it myself! ^-^ One of my only doubts that I have for the challenge is that I'm not really allowed to have a picture of my face on the internet, so day one is going to be... interesting... But, I figured that I'll just kind of "cheat" and use a self portrait I drew a couple weeks ago! :D That way I can incorporate my art into it which is something I really enjoy doing... ;)

In case you weren't already familiar with what you have to do, here's the list for every day; just to give you an idea:

1. A photo of yourself
2. A photo of what you wore today
3. A photo of your favorite place to be
4. A photo from a high angle
5. A photo of whatever you please
6. A photo from a low angle
7. A silhouette photo
8. A photo of something close up
9. A photo of something from a distance
10. A photo of whatever you please
11. A black and white photo
12. A photo experimenting with bokeh
13. A photo edit that you like
14. A photo focusing on eyes
15. A photo of whatever you please
16. A photo experimenting with light trails
17. A photo with street lights
18. A photo depicting an emotion
19. A photo that involves landscape
20. A photo of whatever you please
21. A photo of the sunset
22. A photo of the person you love
23. A photo that makes you think of childhood
24. A photo that has a color scheme
25. A photo of whatever you please
26. A photo playing with shadows
27. A photo using the sun as your lighting
28. A photo that incorporates motion
29. A photo with clouds
30. A photo of whatever you please

Well, that's it! That's all I have to do for thirty days! Since I probably won't post EVERY day, because I'm SOOOO focused when It comes to posting on a regular basis, I'll probably just post every few days with like, three or four photos instead of every day. (^_^;)"

Oh, and there was a problem for with Blogger so my poll wouldn't come up, but now it's there, so please be sure to vote on it! :D

Some new picasa stories are in the making! :D

As you can tell by the picture below, I got my iPod dock! :D Sorry the picture is crappy, but that's life, you know. It's amazing, it charges my iPod(something I needed it to do) plays Cd's,(another need), and has a radio antenna(something I don't care about). When I was "shooting" a photostory today, I was listening to UB40(A reggae band, also the first band I had ever heard in my life(It was when I was seven... long story...)) Oh, and this is my old iPod nano, 3rd gen. ? Anyway, it was my brother's, but he gave it to me the day after I got Lily in 2009. :D

And, most(probably all of you) follow Phoebe's blog(Love That Doll) and she mentioned that we did a photo story together last Tuesday! Well, I'm going to upload it to Picasa today, so I'll give you the link later! :D

Oh, and there are a few pictures of... "accidents, such as Hollie being the clumsy oaf she really is, as seen below. XD Oh, and there's my touch and doll brush(sorry! i forgot to hide them :) )

This is one of the seventy pictures of Willow's late birthday present that I took today(my dolls felt bad they threw her twin a party, but not the newest doll, so they gave her a present(you'll know the present! he he he...)

So, you can tell that I've been "busy" recently, so check blogger tomorrow for the links to my photo stories! :D They're really good!

~Miranda

P.S. I'll probably have a special doll party photo story when I reach 35 followers... maybe 40, but I don't know when I'll shoot the story...

Another one?

I got ANOTHER SNOW DAY TODAY!!! THANK YOU!!! I REALLY didn't want to go to school today, i wanted to work on my quilt! Also, yesterday, I made Phoebe her birthday present, and It doesn't look bad! It's actually REALLY cute! Phoebe, I think you'll like it! No more spoilers! I'll share what it is with the rest of the world, AFTER I get home from her sleepover! and now, to entirely change the subject...

I want Nanaimo bars. Do you know what they are? They're the BEST square-ular treats from Canada, EVER!!! They have coconut, custard, and chocolate! I would recommend finding a recipe for them on the Internet.

I've been TRYING to make a good doll-sized Christmas, and I'm not sure how well it's going... Chrissa has been in two photo shoots, Lily is getting ready to host her Christmas party, Lanie is putting up decorations, Kirsten is 'baking', Sonali learned the true meaning of friendship, Felicity and Elizabeth are prepping the horses, and Gwen is readying her voice to sing at Lily's party. (I'm a GREAT singer, so I occasionally make my dolls 'sing') I have been reading blogs all morning, and I found out MORE about Kanini! Her hair is the same color as mine, AND we both have curly/wavy hair! Except, I have bangs... and my skin isn't tan... But alas, I plan on buying her next year! Which doll will retire next? That, I'm worried about, because here are the dolls I want next year: Molly, Emily, Kit, Ruthie, Julie, Ivy, Kaya, Rebbecca, Jesse, and some more Jly's. Comment on which of these doll I should get first! I personally think I should get Molly and Emily, and Kit and Ruthie. They have been around the longest, so they're less safe.


P.S. Maria won't SHIP until tomorrow! I won't get her for, like, A WEKK!!!!!! UGGH!!! >:(

NEW BLOG!!!

Okay. I have a new blog that is for half of my dolls to chat on! The blog is called Inside a Doll's Mind, and the web address is dollchat.blogspot.com! So please, this is a debate blog, it shows two sides at the very least, of the debate, and it shows what my four dolls think!!! PLEASE VISIT IT! Phoebe is my first follower!!! :)

Countdown to Fall Festival! Kirsten's cool hairstyle!!!

This is Kirsten's winter/fall hairstyle. Here's how to do it:

First, make a french braid on each side of the doll's head.

Next, use a u-shaped hair pin to secure the end of the braid to the part that will be underneath. Look at the picture for a little help.

Next, put another pin on the end of the braid(slip it through one of the crosses,) and tuck it under the hair. Look in the picture for help, especially on this step.

Lastly, repeat on the other side. There! Now your doll looks like Kirsten!

So for now.........PEACE OUT!!! :)

P.S. Our Internet was down for the past few days. This would have been posted on a Tuesday, but our telephone and Internet were broken. So, sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you!!! :)

Thanks!
