Well, this wasn't a long break

I decided to just post a little something before I go back into the dark shadows. :)



I'm sorry. I just had the urge. Anyways, I was contemplating this for quite a while, and now I have decided that I think I want to do this. What do you think about renaming? These names would probably be permanent, and I don't usually do this, but I thought it might be fun. So here are the options (most all out of Lord of the Rings, some from other places): And if you're worrying that I am totally consumed by LOTR, don't worry. I will snap out of this phase soon. I hope. I'm going to post one name per doll, and then I'd like to leave it open to suggestions, so here goes.


Saige as Arwen. ☺

Elizabeth as Eowyn. ☻

And Nicole...... I'm uncertain...... I'm thinking maybe Elanor (From LOTR too), but I will need suggestions.


But don't leave yet! There is a photo shoot, requested by AmericanGirl1972! These pics are from today, since it was almost like summer outside! And I decided to post almost all of them, untouched. I hope you don't get bored. :)

And also, remember that these photos might not be the best, because all I have is a Canon Powershot. :) But I still love taking them!

Oh, and P.S.: I would love your suggestions for names, just please don't feel offended if I decide to keep a name or change it to something other than you suggested. Thanks!

Breaks. *sigh*

 Yes, I'm going to take a small break. It just seems like dolls are starting to consume my life, and I'm thinking about them more than God. So I will come back soon, just going to take a little breathing space. Oh, also, this is my 50th post!

Laaaaaaa la la.

Molly. Molly. Molly. The chant has been raised. Why? Because of retirement. I actually like Molly and I think it might be good to get her before she's gone. Should I? Would I? Now that the trumpets have been sounded, and there is loud murmuring about retirement, I'm just kinking. Make that thinking. I hope I can find a doll at Goodwill someday.

Finally..... what we've all been waiting for.

It's Saige. You know that post a week or two? Well, if you ever have to go in for a follow up appointment at the doctor's, DON'T GO! Well, I guess you could go, but I warned you.

  So I decided not to wear my knee brace. Mom didn't know, because I would always put it on after school, but obviously the doctors could tell. When I got there, a nurse who looked a lot like my cousin Lucy handed me a hospital gown and told me they were going to take X-rays.

After that, she suspiciously went over and started talking to Nicole, who had come with me.

And then she ATTACKED ME! Well, sort of. All I know is she came in and put a cast on my leg. Why? Well, let me tell you I will always wear knee braces from now on.

 Anyways, at least I got my hand cast off. And trust me, I will wear the wrap!

Plus, mom wouldn't spend the money for crutches, and since Lizzie is gone at camp, I have to use her wheelchair. Ugh. Hopefully you won't hear from me again.

A Sparkle of Inspiration, Eh?

Yes, again, AmericanGirl1972 is quite inspiring. ☺ She just commented asking me to do a review on Saige's Sparkle Dress. And so I will. You might notice that my new photos with a post aren't up yet, and that is because I was watching more of the Two Towers. In the words of Aragorn, "Not a word."

Ah, Saige's Sparkle Dress. First let us do an overview of all the pieces, and then we shall ride on to the great verdict!

~Dress: This dress is a really fresh twist for AG. It has iron-on sparkles (That remind me of fireflies) that crawl from the bottom of the ruffled skirt to the wide shoulder on top. The dark pink cross-ties really add some dimension to the dress.

~ Shoes: Ah, the gold boots. While I'm not a big fan of the plastic heels, these tend to make your eyes pop out. Quite gold, and quite charming.

~Necklace: Phatooey. This looooong necklace looks amazing with the sweater outfit. But what's the use of a necklace that gets caught in your dress waistband? And silver and gold? The old girl scout song CLEARLY states that these are not the same. ☺ Marie Grace's gold locket, on the other hand? No reason to spit on that.


'Tis a very nice dress. In the words of Samwise, "I'm your (dress)." If it calls to you, I would get it. It looks perfect with Saige.

You know those movies you can't take your eyes off?

Well, I took some pictures for a post today, and I was going to put them up tonight, but then I got caught up in watching the Two Towers. So it'll have to be tomorrow. Also, Happy Birthday Nicole! (I heard from americangirl1972.blogspot.com that AG had posted that it was Marie-Grace's b-day!)

I got a comment from American Girl 1972 (she has a swell blog) saying that she thought a review of Saige would be nice...... so here it is.

Saige. What a beauty. I knew from the moment that I saw her on dolldiaries.com that I wanted her.

~Her Hair: It is soooo beautiful. It is really luminous in the sunlight, and those fiery curls are to die for. I think her hair is a dream to handle, and that's coming from someone who doesn't have a hair pick! Although I would recommend having one. ☺

~ Her Face: Saige has a classic face mold, and it has a nice tan to it. She has the freckles that were used on every doll except Mia, and I think they add to this doll a lot. Her lips are a nice shade of pink and her eyes....... Well, you can tell from this picture how shiny and penetratingly blue they are.

~ Her Meet Outfit: I really love this type of knit..... I don't know what you would call it, but it has small hints of lighter thread throughout it. This dress is really simple, and yet beautiful. It really captures an arsty-cowgirl's spirit. And those boots? They work with practically anything. I know a few fashionistas who probably have 10 pairs of those boots. And the ring. "My precioussssss." In the words of Gollum. But anyways, I love this ring...... except when it falls off and I frantically run around looking for it yelling, "Lost! It's lost, precious!" ☺ I usually only put it on for photo shoots.

~Her Book: I like Saige's story line, but the illustrations in these books? First of all, there are only three, and they are all pretty weird. These only took me an hour a piece to get through, because they weren't my favorites.


I would suggest Saige to anyone in a heart beat. Get this photogenic doll before she's gone or you'll be frantically looking at $200 Ebay listings next year saying, "She's gone, precious! Gone!"

Anyways, you can probably tell that my brain is saturated with LOTR. But I hope you enjoyed the review.

A ramble just for rambles' sake

It seems lately that my blog isn't very popular. Now, I'm not having a pity party here, but I would like some suggestions. What could I do that would make you more interested? Is my blog boring? Does it just need a new style?

  Also, I've been contemplating dolls. I'm probably not going to get a doll for a while since I have Saige, but it's always fun to look at dolls.  I have such a long list that it's hard to make any decisions. Some of my favorites are the originals, all the GOTYS except Lindsay, Caroline, Josefina and JLY #40. I'm actually starting to think about looking on Ebay and getting a fixer-upper or a gently used doll...... but who knows. I'd like to pay less than $110 dollars, which is pretty hard. Especially for a doll who is retired. But right now I really have the Mckenna fever, the Jess fever, and the Originals fever. Hopefully they go away before I spend a lot of money. :)

  I'm hoping to take some photos as soon as my camera is charged!
