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!!! :)

Two things

First thing, if you haven't already done so, vote in my poll. Second of all, the book I am currently reading, amongst many others, is Watership Down. It's about rabbits who are leaving their tribe type thing, since one of the main characters thinks bad things are going to happen soon. Also, it's cool since the main characters are bunnies. I give this book an A+. I would recommend this book for people ages 10-13. Although it's really easy for me since I am an excellent reader, so you can possibly read it before that age range. Great summer book. I really like it. I am 12, and I probably would have had a slight challenge reading it, but could've read it in fourth grade. Remember, I am an excellent reader. Here's a helpful hint for the books I read: I ONLY read books my immediate family members have read.

Slacking off...

Well, for now, I have a project in Social Studies due next Monday, and I also need to do a couple of other things tonight. So, as the title implied, I'm slacking off; or more in terms, procrastinating. I know I haven't done any doll-ish posts since last month, but I have been playing Animal Crossing City folk on my Nintendo Wii. You may or may not have guessed, but I love video games. Not like my cousin Sophie, or my brother Griffin, but I still like them. I used to watch Griffin play v.g. all the time, and therefore, I like to watch him, not play them myself. Oh, I've decided to make my blog about, ..........................................MEE!!! :) I thought,well, I would LOVE to not come across as only a doll loving person, and I'm not exactly the kind of person one would think of as a doll lover... so yea. I will post about awesome books I am or have read , video games that are fun and exciting, family friendly games, of course. And, I'll post about my sweet little pigs, not to mention my dolls. I don't really care who follows me, as long as you don't want to kill me, not that anyone would,... I hope. So, if there's anything, I mean almost ANYTHING you want to know about me, just comment. So, the point of this pointless post is, well, to slightly get to know me better. So for now,...PEACE OUT!!! :0

Well, I can say this

This post will be entirely random, and will tell you about me as a person. I am an AG doll lover, a guinea pig owner, and an avid video game player. I have 8 dolls, and I got my first doll, Kirsten, in 2007. I have 3 guinea pigs, named Nibbler, Hot Fudge, and Chocolate. I also have a bearded Dragon named Liz, and two MALE goldfish named Beth and Bill. I thought Beth was a girl. Bill was white, and turned orange, Beth was orange, and turned white. I have been watching my 15 year old bruther Griffin play video games since he was 5 and I was two. I have been playing video games since I was 5. This is a poat where I am bored, don't know what to blog about, and I just want to update my blog.

2 darn vacations in a row...

Now I went to Panama City beach! I am exhausted! Oh, we stayed in New Orleans for 3 nights, too. Panama City Beach is WAY more fun than home! I am HAPPY!!!! Why, you may be wondering, am I so happy? Because, .........uhhhh... I don't know. It's just one of those things. Oh WAIT! I remember! It's because when I left I had three followers, and when I came back, I had 6!!! I will have pics of the hair thingys I got for my dolls at AG Place LA. They look great on my doll Lily Tazo! Remember, don't run with scissors, hug ducks frequently, and, 2 more things. Love dolls, and my blog is still occasionally about my pets, Nibbler, Choclate, and Hot Fudge. I will take pics of my guinea pigs someday, and the store exclusive hair thingys!

Food! And some personal life...

The best food is pellet food. You find pellet food wherever you can, but only buy it if it says for guinea pigs on it. Don't be cheap by buying the rabbit food, that doesn't supply your pet with the right nutrients. You can feed your pig fruit and veggie scraps that are uncooked and washed. Here is the safe food list: Orange, strawberries, asparagus, apple, carrot for sure, cantaloupe, watermelon, and you can feed cantaloupe and watermelon rind, and strawberry tops.

I currently have three guinea pigs, named in order of age, Nibbler, Hot Fudge, and Chocolate. Chocolate was in my first post, and I don't have a picture of Nibbler or Hot Fudge. I will have pictures soon.

Pottytraining, good or bad?

It all depends on how and where your pet will live, in a cage, or free roam? If you choose free roam, then you should potty train your pig. You first start by purchasing the litter box. Your pet should be comfortably sitting in it so he/she can do their business. Next, fill the litter box about one third of the way full of straw, then put soft litter on top that is different than your pets cage litter. Place some of your pets droppings in the litter box. Give your pet a few days to explore the litter box. Also, it is much easier to start with a baby guinea pig, old pigs don't understand the new tricks. When you see your pet eliminate in the box, treat him with his favorite food or a carrot. If their are other people who see him eliminate, ask them to treat your pet too, only treat him once, though. Some pets just don't get it, that's okay. Just leave your pet in a cage. He/she may just eliminate in the cage corners, which makes your job easier, too.

First advice snipet!

This is my adorable guinea pig Chocolate!He is an Abyssinian.

Anyway, if you are looking for a guinea pig as a pet, not food, look for one that is younger than 4 months old, but older than 2 weeks. Make sure all the pigs in the enclosure housed with the guinea pig you like have bright, clear eyes. If they don't, check another enclosure. If you can, hold your healthy favorite guinea pig for a few minutes to see if he/she is calm. If he/she is calm, healthy, and looks cute to you, hope you have $100 to $150, that includes the cage cost, food and water bottle cost, and, of course, the guinea pig cost. These animals grow up to weigh no less than 2 and a half lbs., and no more than 5 lbs. They can stretch out to be up to 1 foot long, and are normally 8-10 inches long. Guinea pigs make great pets, just don't let children 5 and under pet, hold, or (provoke(not recommended)) the animal without an adult around, or you may have a dead pet and need a shovel, or a bitten and upset child.
