Adalyn Takes Back What She May Have Said About Spring

That's right, you guys! It snowed! IN MARCH. Any other day, I'd be upset, but we haven't gotten any other snow this year, so my reaction is YAY!!!!!! Adalyn decided to go out in her brand new coat I made her.

This picture looks a little weird-too much human sized stuff  in the background.

Snow, the endless expanse.....

Crunch, crunch, crunch Adi walked through the snow.

Oh, no! A hill of snow!

Ah, but nothing stops the amazing Adi!

Oof!

Snow angel time!

Step

She looks so pretty in this picture!

Easter Craft Collab; Doll-Sized Chick Candy Jars!

Hi everyone! Today I have the inaugural craft for Anna's and my Easter Craft Collab! Chicks are springish, so I'll be showing you how to make these adorable chick candy jars-in miniature! (In my mind, everything is cuter in miniature.) Okay, let's get started!

You will need;

• Acrylic paint. I suggest gloss finish.
• Mini corked glass jars (I got mine at Michaels)
• A paint brush
• Orange foam
• White foam

Here's a close up on my paint-I'm using Apple Barrel Gloss Finish in Dandelion Yellow.

Pour your paint out. I didn't have a palette, so I used a plastic lid. Only start with a little, because it dries quickly, and you don't want to waste any!

Next, paint your jar! Try to make all your strokes go in one direction. I got best results with a horizontal stroke.

While your jar dries, paint your cork. You could do it in a different color, but I left mine matching.

 Next, cut out a little triangle for your chick's beak.

Also cut out two little white circles, for the eyes.

Use a pen to add detail to them.

By now, your jar should be dry, so use a little glue to attach it to the jar.

Then do the same thing for the eyes.

Congratulations! You're done! Adi and Emily had so much fun with this. I tied colored yarn around the necks of the jars to give them character. (AREN'T THEY SOOO CUTE?? EEEE!)

P.S. Anna posted some really fun crafts at her blog, From A Doll's Perspective, so I suggest you hop your little rabbit tail over there!

                                        

*drumroll* Your Attention, Please!

Yippee! Anna, my doll blogger bestie, and I are doing a collab! I am so excited! We have all sorts of super, duper fun crafts and recipes for you and your dolls, plus a special surprise at the end! So stay tuned for that. We are going to start posting March 17th. (sooooo exciting!!) Actually, I really don't have much to say, because this is just an announcement...so in the meantime, scarf lots of Marshmallow peeps and Jellybeans!

The Marvelous Misadventures Of Americans In Paris; Part 1

Yes!! MY FIRST EVER PHOTOSTORY!!!! Well, technically, it's mine and my friends-her dolls are co-starring. A HUGE thank you to you and your dolls-I couldn't have done it without you! Okay, I know, I know, mushy stuff is boring. So Now, Say hello to;

''Oh my goodness WE ARE 12.5 SECONDS LATE!!'' Maryellen cried as she and Adalyn hustled their way down the airport halls to catch a plane to Paris.

''Ellie! Take a chill pill! 13 seconds is NOT going to make us miss our flight!'' Adalyn had a touch of annoyance in her voice

Just then their friends they were traveling with arrived. ''Hi, Ellie! Hi Adalyn! Ready for Paris??'' ''Oh, most definitely! Are you and Caroline all packed?''

''Ok, everyone; here's the plan; We'll be sitting on different parts of the plane, but we'll meet up at the hotel-got it?'' Everyone nodded. '' The good news is that we're 20 minutes early for boarding!''

''Oh...I guess I better get my watch fixed...''

Later, on the plane;

Adalyn was digging through her bag, apparently looking for something. Ellie was relaxing, with her legs daintily crossed, her hands clasped in her lap. Except for the fact that her knuckles were completely white.....

''Goodness, Adalyn, won't this be just Magnifique? In Paris, relaxing all day....''

Adi said, without looking up; ''Spit it out Ellie-what is it?''

''What if I look like an American in Paris?!? It would be terrible!!''

''Um...I hate to break it to ya, but you're going to BE an American in Paris no matter what you wear.''

''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' Ellie's cry of despair rang out through the aisle.

Adalyn; *facepalm*

A stewardess hurried over and asked ''Is everything all right?'', interrupting Ellie's dramatic yell. ''Oh, yes, yes, certainly, I was..ah...practicing my..uh...singing! Yes, I was singing!'' Maryellen had never looked so sheepish.

Ellie looked at Adalyn and whispered; ''This is SUCH a disaster!!! What am I going to do??? An AMERICAN  in PARIS!!!!-''

Adi groaned and leaned against the headrest; ''I cannot spend five hours like this....''

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Plane......

Samantha; happily unplugged, and reading a book.

Caroline; Intensely plugged-in, and engrossed in ''TempleRun2''

Suddenly Samantha turned around. ''CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!''

.

''Hold on! Just lemme finish this level-oops......'' Caroline realized Samantha had forbidden her from electronics for the whole trip.

''Yes, about that level.''

 ''It was an accident!! Honest, Samantha! And how do you expect me to LIVE without Pinterest? Social media is LIFE-''

Samantha cut her off. ''Give it.''

''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''

Stewardess; *bangs head on wall*

Caroline got up in disgust. ''I'M going to go get a snack-you haven't confiscated my wallet have you?''

''Oh, Caroline.'' was all Samantha said.

Or maybe not.

TO BE CONTINUED........

So?? What did you think?? Did you like the story so far? Do you think the dolls will get to France without going insane? Thank you again to my friends who helped me photograph this-You are so awesome!
