Introducing Madison Grace Thomas

Hey everyone! So as some of you know I announced on Google + that I ordered a doll off of American girl!

I'm super excited that she has finally arrived after a week of waiting!

Well, without further ado,

Introducing...

(Drum roll please!)

Madison Grace Thomas!

Yes! I got Grace! And I have decided to rename her Madison.

I've loved that name for her ever since I saw her!

I'm super excited to finally have her in my collection, she's an adorable doll, and she actually looks more like me than Claire! Okay... Looked like me. Not looks like me. For those of you who don't know, I had super long hair and I ended up cutting it to sell. I ended up cutting off 15 inches! That's just crazy... But now I have shoulder length hair. I absolutely love it. ^_^ But I felt that I needed a drastic change with my appearance for the better.

Anyways, I'm super excited to finally have her in my collection!

Her bracelet is adorable! I love all of the charms that are on it!

Sorry for the lame photos... :P It wasn't quite the best day for photos outside.

Also, stay tuned for a mini giveaway! I'll post it later on today. :)

Thanks for reading!

The Sleepover (Part 2) ~ A photo story

Go to part 1 here.

(Amelia's perspective:)

Mae: "Okay guys, so what should we do?"

*Awkward silence*

Amelia: "Hey! I know what we can do!

Saige: "And what's that Amelia?"

Delilah and Claire: "Yeah! What is it?"

I started feeling a little uncomfortable with the fact that everyone was staring at me.

But I proceeded:

"Well, I was thinking that we could... HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT!"

I stood up, picked up a pillow then spiraled it towards Mae's face.

WHAM.

My pillow hit Mae right in the face.

It was hilarious seeing her reaction.

Mae: "Hey! What was that for!? It is SO ON"

Claire then yelled at the top of her lungs: "PILLOW FIGHT!"

It had begun.

We all took sides with pillows in our hands ready to charge.

We weren't exactly sure what to do next.

Then out of nowhere a pillow hit Saige.

You could tell that she wasn't happy about it.

We then somehow all yelled in unison: "ATTACK!"

Pillows went flying everywhere. The girls were grabbing pillows, blankets, and really anything that could be thrown to use as ammo.

It was a blast! Each of us loved every single bit of it.

This probably went on for about 10 more minuets then

towards the end we were all tired.

We decided that Saige's team had won even though we didn't know why or how you would even win a pillow fight, but we didn't argue.

Sarah: "Man, you guys are intense when in a pillow fight! Someone got multiple head shots on me!"

She exclaimed while brushing the many knots out of her blonde hair caused by all the pillows that were thrown at her.

Delilah: "Yeah... That was probably me..."

Saige: "I got you Mae in the face sooo many times! It was hilarious."

Mae: "Yeah, but I let you!"

Saige muttered "Whatever..."

While giving her a playful nudge.

Thanks for reading!

I hope you enjoyed this story. ^_^ Part 3 will be up shortly.

Btw my camera stopped working for some reason and it's not auto focusing. Any suggestions?

I think I may have to send it in to see whats up with it. I can't seem to take pictures because it won't focus. So I won't have many posts up this next week that involve pictures that I took. At least recently took.

So sorry for my absence

I know that I said that I would be gone in Idaho for about two weeks but I never really gave official notice that I was going to be absent on the blog... Oops...

But I'm back!

And it was a blast! I had tons of fun up there with my bestie. ^_^

We did tons of fun things together and I am really happy that I got to see her again!

I will definitely be going back.

Anyways, so sorry that I was gone and wasn't the best follower! I have a ton of posts and blogs that I have to catch up on and read. So I might as well apologize now for the spam comments these next few days. :P

I'll be deleting this eventually...

But expect a real post on Monday for sure!

Adios!

AG sales/AG news ~ Summer 2015

Hello everyone!

I'm posting today because I didn't post yesterday...

Yeah...

Sorry about that.

So, first off Innerstar U is officially shutting down!

American Girl announced it just yesterday that the game will be shutting down November 6 2015.

We already knew that this was coming ever since Truly Me came out, but

I find this kind of disappointing tbh. I never played it a ton, but when I did it was of fun!

Especially when I was younger.

I wonder why they are shutting it down...

Any thoughts?

So yeah, play it while you can!

Also, there are a couple sales going on on the AG site.

There's 20% off select items through August 17 2015. Most of the items are school inspired items such as the school locker, school lunch set, school desk, and some outfits and other accessories.

They have some reasonable prices! So make sure to go check that out. Link will be on the picture so just click the picture to go to the AG site.

There's also 50% off select items while supplies last. As in clearance. There's a lot of newer items that are on sale! Like the Flamingo beach dress for dolls. Historical classic meet outfits such as Julie's, and Rebecca's. A lot of Caroline's items are on sale like her bed, her skiff, and some outfits and accessories.

Some of Isabelle's items are back even! Her legwarmers set, and her funky leggings for dolls are on sale. There's a ton of stuff,

so go check that out here!

Have fun shopping!

So I think that's all I have for you! Make sure to vote on the poll!

It's whether I should do mini giveaways frequently.

I would most likely every time AG has a sale buy a little accessory or outfit and give it away!

Idk. I think it would be fun. ^_^

Let me know what you think!

Winners of the 50 follower photo contest!

Ya'll probably want the results already.

Yup. I know you do.

I just wanted to thank everyone who participated in this contest!

I hope it was fun participating in, and I hope to do another one in the near future!

So without further ado,

the winners of the contest are...

Haha never mind I'm just going to make you sit through my updates/ramblings.

(Yes I am that evil.)

So.

I haven't done a update in a while. No time is better then the present am I right?

Here's something really cool I think:

I actually mailed Alexis (AGSmiless) a package just about a week ago!

I'm really excited to see her open it!

I sent her a couple shirts for the guys in the house. I didn't sew them though... The were just some shirts that I never really used for the dolls...

I can't wait to see her open them! Hopefully she will on a video.

Fun fact: This is not my first time sending fan mail to a AGTuber. I have also sent agoverseasfan a fan letter!

And she actually opened it in one of her videos! But sadly I can't really share which video and all that information because the letter has my age on it and really wasn't supposed to do that...

But I kind of forgot and got carried away while writing. And I really didn't think that ya'll would see the video and recognize my name in it but lo and behold one of ya'll did!

Which is totally fine. ^_^

I still think it's hilarious that one of ya'll know my age...

You know who you are.

Also! I am going to be out of town all of next week!

I'm going to Idaho to visit my bestie... ^_^

I've mentioned her a ton in posts but her name is Haylie. She runs a blog called craftyeinsteins.blogspot.com

We haven't seen each other in about 2 years. We've been best friend for like 5 years or so...

So yeah, I'm actually leaving the 8th of August and coming back the 20th.

I've never been to Idaho so I'm excited to see what that's like. The state of potatoes. Sounds like my kind of place! I've been to Utah before but not Idaho. Can't wait!

Well I think that's it for the rant.

Let's actually get on with the results shall we?

3rd place goes to...

Emma!
