<br />
<br />
Three days after "quitting" my blog, I have more ideas than ever.<br />
<br />
<br />
And therefore you can disregard my last post. *ughwhyiamsoindecisive*<br />
<br />
<br />
So yeah foh now I want to be back. I'll try not to quit again after three days, no promises. XD I have some epic ideas now (could've come sooner but y'know).... my blog might have a bit of a different outlook, maybe different stuff than just dolls, but we'll just have to see. Anyway look for a post very soon that will be supah cool and if you still want me to go away that could be arranged. XD<br />

<br />
Surprisingly enough, it's already my two year blogoversary! I can't believe that I forgot, but I started this blog on January 17th of 2013. You guys have helped me to come so far! Without a blog, I don't think that I would've stayed involved with my dolls, or realized my passion for photography!<br />
<br />
<br />
Do you remember that giveaway that I had last year for my first anniversary? That was pretty awesome, and I'm thinking of having another one! What do you say? What kinds of things would you like me to give away?<br />
<br />
<br />
To celebrate my anniversary at Saige's Locket, let's throw it back!<br />

<br />
So, everyone knows by now that I looooove dolls, right?<br />
<br />
Right.<br />
<br />
But obviously the dolls do not make the girl (I can't think of anything better to say), and there is something that a do a lot of on a regular basis:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Reading. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
Yes, I love, love LOVE to read! I have a few awesome books that I've read recently that I think you guys might enjoy!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I: The Ashtown Burials Series by N.D. Wilson<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6CvVAD6WQMA/VL679nMGk3I/AAAAAAAABq8/w7UHiQ7ukK0/s1600/IMG_3710.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6CvVAD6WQMA/VL679nMGk3I/AAAAAAAABq8/w7UHiQ7ukK0/s1600/IMG_3710.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wow, this series is just like... in your face, for lack of a better term. I just finished <i>Empire of Bones, </i>the last book of the series, and it was powerful. The story follows Cyrus and Antigone Smith, two kids who's father has died and whose mother is in a coma. They, along with their older brother Dan, struggle to run this broken down motel, until this mysterious and sort of weird dude called Billy Bones shows up and turns their lives around. The story is set in the 60's, but you definitely get a steampunk-explorer vibe. Just amazing, so you should read it now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
II: The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5uKI-3FWrVo/VL68AZGyuwI/AAAAAAAABrM/YE9ToDZ10HQ/s1600/IMG_3712.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5uKI-3FWrVo/VL68AZGyuwI/AAAAAAAABrM/YE9ToDZ10HQ/s1600/IMG_3712.JPG" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I'm not exactly the touchy-feely sort of person (Adelaide can attest to that), but these books hit me right in the gut. <i>The Warden and the Wolf King </i>is the last of the four Wingfeather books, follow three awesome kids who live in a world with things other than humans: stuff like sea dragons and half-lizards. These kids figure out that they're not so ordinary (I don't like to spoil things either so just trust my word when I say you should read these books even though my descriptions are lame), and Andrew Peterson uses his literary genius to whip up amazing tales. There are also some <i>amazing </i>Biblical parallels in there.<br />
<br />
III. Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P4ZZZ33HL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a year or two since I read this book. I heard somewhere that there was a movie about it, but I don't need a movie because the pictures of this book are engraved in my mind. Hollis is a girl without a family. She's rough around the edges, she can take care of herself... and then she finds this place where she really belongs, and she thinks that they want her to leave. This book is really touching too. So read it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yuppers! There you go. Hopefully there will be something doll-related next post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
XOXOXO,</div>

Anyways, that time has rolled around for a new GOTY doll, and this year her name is Grace. Let's take a look at her and her back story.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="CGD13_main_2.jpg (400×400)" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/48/30/a348302b44a170d53b486babccfb9e1d.jpg" /><br />
<br />
So yeah, Grace. First off, I like her wig and freckles. The side bangs are very "in", and it looks like the freckles aren't the generic "Kit" freckles. Yay! She comes with pierced ears and also has feathered eyebrows, it's a unique combo. The outfit is pretty stupid in my opinion except for the boots. And they're only a one on the 1-to-10 cool scale.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Avant Garde', 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Nine-year-old Grace is always thinking up big ideas, like starting a business with her friends over the summer! When Mom announces a trip to Paris instead, Grace gets on board, but it quickly seems as if none of her plans are working out the way she’d hoped. She and her French cousin aren’t getting along, and Grace’s friends back home have started a business without her. Can she find the courage to stay open to new ideas and turn the summer around?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Avant Garde', 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Avant Garde', 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">So, that's the synopsis for the first book.. it sounds kind of lame as well, but Paris <i>is</i> cool, and so is baking. I just feel like I've grown out of the AG stories. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/V9xHL8gY-sc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's DeenaandBeena's entire collection video... what are your thoughts. The only things that are <i>sort of </i>worth my time are the baking set and pink dress (I like the neckline sort of), but I wouldn't spend an outrageous amount of money on a plastic mixer and a super short tulle dress. La-aame. I feel like this collection is definitely focused towards the younger generation of doll players, not doll collectors. I'm still iffy about the doll... I slightly like her, but we'll have to see how she pans out over the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that's Grace Thomas (correct me on the last name if I'm wrong), and farewell Isabelle. I personally didn't like Isabelle that much, although I do like the dancing aspect since I dance as well. But the downhill slope in the awesomeness of GOTYs is just annoying. I mean, look at Kanani: super awesome doll, a story about a girl who is struggling with her friendship, and about finding herself. Mia was a figure skater who didn't always win and who had to work for her own skating time because her parents were low on money. Jess left her friends and comfortable living and learned to explore and be brave in a foreign country. Grace... has parents who take her to posh Paris and complains because she can't cook and make money...... *hurls*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yeah, so what do you think about Grace? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
XOXOXO,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

So AG always has a supah Cyber Monday sale, and although it usually starts at twelve when I looked it wasn't up... so I got on earlier this morning and there it was! Try to order fast, because things disappear like bread on the beach of seagulls or something.<br />

Welcome Linea! On my birthday a few weeks ago, my mom gave me a used doll from ebay to fix up: and it's Lanie, the GOtY from 2010! I have always really wanted Lanie, and I'm so excited to have her in my collection. Now, I'm trying to make the decision of whether to get her a new head or a different wig... her current hair is very thin at the roots and dried out. So what do you think? Should I customize Linea, or just get her a new wig? </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a small list of blogs and Youtube channels that I have been obsessed with recently. (Okay obsessed is harsh)</div>
<div>
<img src="http://www.byutv.org/seethegood/image.axd?picture=2013%2F9%2FDCOME_Large09-12-13.jpg" /></div>
<div>
Studio C- Okay, so this isn't doll related, but these videos are seriously addicting. They're comedy sketches and are hilarious beyond compare.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="mailto:thesaltysadollblog.blogspot.com">The Saltys</a> (renamed the Salty Breeze)- This is one of my all-time favorite doll blogs. The three sisters: Chrissa, Elizabeth and Georgia, all super unique and super awesome!<br />
<br />
<img alt="//" src="http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/30/69/d4/3069d4a2e99fe11e4fb2c0db69ea5457.jpg" /><br />
<a href="http://downbythewillows.blogspot.com/">Down By the Willows</a>- Adelaide is my sister, and who can pass up some advertisement? ;) Anyways, Addy's blog is supah cool and she's the poet-introvert-super cool-tumblrlike type. This picture above is one that I stole from her Pinterest. :)<br />
<img alt="Dreaming in color's avatar" height="320" src="http://33.media.tumblr.com/avatar_2d30f7b6a356_128.png" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/AGsmiless">AGsmiless</a>- Alexis of AGsmiless is a very talented AGTuber! She makes a series called Aspen Heights with her dolls that is *awesome*! Even Addy thinks that it's okay, and she despises dolls. XD (Obviously this is not the best picture but I couldn't find anything else)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I'm exhausted... XD So enjoy!<br />

<br />
Crazy, right?<br />
<br />
More like scary.<br />
<br />
<br />
But back to the point, I've been thinking about re-naming some of my dolls. Of course, this is super cool in some ways, but in other ways it's lame because then everyone is confused and you have to change all of your "marketing merchandise"... as in if I re-named Saige I would also have to re-name this blog.<br />
<br />
Buts I'm going with it, so deal with ti. No, I meant with it. Deal with <i>it. </i><br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="Marie-Grace w/ hazel eyes and #35's wig." height="320" src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/20/27/f9/2027f9867a6c2bd45b7ddbeaba86084e.jpg" width="228" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Let me take a moment to freak out over this ah-mazing custom Marie-Grace (I don't know who did this but wow)...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Marie Grace, I'm re-naming her.... *drumroll*<br />
<br />
<br />
Dun dun-nu<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*battle of the five armies happens*<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*Doctor Who theme song plays*<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*Death Star blows up*<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Alberta Estelle Lininger</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
Woah, yeah, what a mouthful. But Alberta it is.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And now I need to go to bed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
*I love dolls. (what's that you said?)<br />
*I'm the bookish type, and I love LotR.<br />
*Photography is a hobby of mine.<br />
<br />
But who is Dally really?<br />
<br />
*I love the Lord with all of my heart.<br />
*Writing stories is my passion, and telling them is a gift.<br />
*I want to be a scientist.<br />
*I'm left handed, and that's a lot different than being right handed.<br />
*I'm kind of on both side of the spectrum: Science and math, reading and art.<br />
*I play oboe, and making music is something amazing.<br />
*I really wish that I was a hipster, but I tend to spend my money on other things than clothes.<br />
*I'd rather be cold than warm.<br />
*I don't have many friends... people probably just think I'm a big joke.<br />
*Sarcasm is my thing.<br />
*CAPTAIN AMERICA! *faints*<br />
*Addy. my sister at <a href="http://downbythewillows.blogspot.com/">Down By the Willows</a> is super cool and we do a lot of stuff together.<br />

<br />
<br />
Can you believe it's almost been a month since I posted last? Crazy. I've been playing volleyball, oboe, saving up for a DSLR (squeee!) and starting school tomorrow!<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't worry, I'm still in love with blogging!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, Beforever showed up. Right? For the most part I'm kind of "meh" about the whole thing. It seems like they're just gearing the line towards younger girls. Kit's outfits are fluffy and pink, so are Julie's.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
BUT AMERICAN GIRL DID SOMETHING RIGHT! *gasp*<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's Samantha.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://images.anbmedia.com/products/11388/11388_300_300.jpg" /><br />
<br />

I can't tell you how happy I am that they brought Samantha back! She has always been my favorite doll - always. I was first introduced to AG in 2008 when I read Meet Samantha (my mom, who was a teacher, had the book in her classroom) and started saving up to buy Samantha. I ended up using the money on something else instead, but I still love her! Sure, the collection is a bit pink, but can we talk about her Holiday Set?<br />

<br />
Wow, yes! I love it!<br />
<br />
I really do like the whole clothing line for girls that came with Beforever, too! I would wear almost all of the outfits (except for Julie and Rebecca's) and the styles are really in tune with today's girls! So yeah, I'm not overjoyed, but I don't hate it, either (thanks, Samantha)!<br />
<br />
XOXOXOXO,<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's safe!" She said. "Just don't let go of the branch!" As she said this, I let go of the branch to pull a strand of hair out of my eyes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Yeah. Not funny.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways, camp went great! I such a great time! Oh, yeah, and so was band camp. And 2-a-days in volleyball have started smashingly. But obviously it's hard to fit doll stuff in there. I'm hoping to put up a photostory tomorrow! *Hoping*<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, so, I wanted to let you know that I'm alive, as usual. Also, I've gotten two awards (or tags and such) while I've been gone, and I wanted to say thank you! I'll try to do that tag soon.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Ugh.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah, I'm not too happy about these changes, and I'm not sure that I've met many other people other than the designers at Mattel who <i>are </i>happy about it. Mattel is retiring all of the BF dolls as well as Marie-Grace and Cecile (but we saw that coming, didn't we? They never sold well). It sounds like this is kind of a last reach thing to get younger girls into the Historical Line. I think that they're going to be doing a lot of changing and downsizing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-roHhyP1DkL4/U2xPcb0_SQI/AAAAAAAAk2A/Z_hpZKruR6A/s1600/Copy+of+american-girl-beforever.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-roHhyP1DkL4/U2xPcb0_SQI/AAAAAAAAk2A/Z_hpZKruR6A/s1600/Copy+of+american-girl-beforever.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
We come to the question that a lot of collectors have been asking: Is the true vision of AG dead?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If the title doesn't make sense to you, don't worry. I'm getting to that.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Whenever AG comes out with a limited edition doll or they announce that they are retiring a doll, do you get that sudden urge to buy? I have had my eye on Ruthie for quite a while, and when they announced that they were retiring her, I started making plans in my head of how I could save up enough to buy her A.S.A.P. But I hadn't been so zealous to buy her until I knew that she was being retired. She didn't barely cross my mind before! I don't know... I just wanted to give you some advice. Don't buy a doll just because it's retiring. Buy a doll because you think that it's something that you would use, and something that would improve your collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, tell me: What do you think of this new line?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
XOXOXOXO,<br />

<br />
Teehee. I know, I know, I said I was back, and I am now, right? Yeah. Right.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But still... I took these photos of Shola right after I opened her (It's been a bit now), and I must say, she is STUNNING!<br />
