Happy Halloween & Craft!

Hi everybody!!!

Happy Halloween!!!!

Last night I had an amazing time at a farm with my youth group at church!!!! There was a HUGE jumping trampoline type of thing, which was SO FUN!!! Then we had pizza, hot chocolate, and s'mores around a very big bonfire! Afterwards, we went on a long hayride in the dark!!! Then I went with my friends in a corn maze!! It took us a while, but we finally got to the end. But what took us even longer was trying to get back out at the entrance. We had to walk through the corn and outside of the corn maze to get back out to the entrance. LOL It was pretty funny!

Anyway, today I have a doll Halloween craft, which you can do if you want!

Doll Halloween Candy

Materials: Brown Foam, Tape, Colored Paper Wrappers

Directions: Cut out a small piece of brown foam the size of a doll sized candy bar. Wrap a colored paper wrapper around it and secure it with a small piece of tape. Then you have doll sized candy bars! (The Doll Party kit has candy wrappers you can use. But you can also make your own or maybe even print pictures of the candy brands off the computer.)

Here's how mine came out!

Have fun making them! Happy Halloween! :D

Felicity Just For Fun Book Review! And a Discovery!

Hi everyone!

I recently went to Borders Bookstore and got the Felicity Just For Fun Book! But before I give you the book review, I wanted to tell you all something. I had noticed that at my particular Borders, the AG section seemed to be getting smaller and smaller each time I went. There were fewer AG things each time I went. However this last time I went to Borders, there was a HUGE section of AG books/things!!! Can you guess what Borders is now selling from the American Girl Line??!??? THE AMERICAN GIRL CRAFTS!!!! So, go to Borders because there is a lot of cool AG crafts there! Now for the book review:

The front cover. :)

And... here is a sneak peak inside the book!

(Sorry, I forgot to turn the flash off.)

It comes with a page of bookmarks! I thought that was cool!

This book has tons of puzzles, activities, recipies, games, crafts, stickers, and much more inside! It was $12.95 at Borders, which I thought was a little expensive for this book. But you can use coupons from Borders if you get them. I give this book an A+! I highly recommend it!

I'm planning to get Felicity's Tea Lesson Gown before she retires too! I also really want to get Elizabeth! ;)

Are you getting any of Felicity's things before she retires? Do you have this book? Do you like it?

Also, PLEASE check back soon because I have some FUN Halloween related posts coming your way VERY SOON! :D

A Music Quiz!

Hi everyone! :D

I decided to enter a giveaway from Miss Jo March's Blog, Scraps from My Workbasket! Here is the music quiz that goes along with her giveaway to win a beautiful doll dress! This is all part of her Fiesta de Octobre!

The Music Quiz:

{1} What musical instrument(s) do you play? I play the piano!

{2} How long have you been playing that instrument(s)? I have been playing the piano for about 5 or 6 years.

{3} What is your favorite era of music: Baroque, Classical, Romantic or Contemporary? I like Classical music!

{4} Why? (in reference to the above question) Classical music sounds beautiful! So I love listening to it!

{5} Who is your favorite composer? (If you're drawing a blank, click here for a nice long list to pick from :D) I like Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet music! I also like Pachabel's Canon in D!
{6} Do you like jazz music? Why or why not? Yes, I like some kinds of jazz music because it's fun- sounding.

{7} Are one of those folks who could play their musical instrument for hours and love every minute of it? (or...just about every minute?) I like playing pieces I've already learned on the piano for a long time. However, when it comes to practicing, it depends on if I like the piece or not.

{8} Would you rather listen to music or play it? I like doing both!

{9} Do you like to perform in front of people, or would you rather not? I like performing in front of people, but I get really nervous.

{12} Would you rather listen to an entire CD (or playlist) of just one artist, or a random shuffle list or CD? It depends on the artist. If it's Taylor Swift, I'll listen to the whole playlist.

{13} Do you like listening to movie soundtracks? YES!

{14} Does listening to music while doing schoolwork distract or help you? It ususally distracts me! Except for music appreciation class of course!

{15} Radio, CD or iPod/mp3 player? I have a portable CD player, but it broke. So I listen to the radio in the car and use the CD player in the car. I would LOVE to have an iPod though!

{16} Do your siblings like to listen to the same music you do? My siblings like to listen to country music like me!

{17} Do you like to "sing along" with the songs you know, or would you rather just listen to them? It depends on my mood.

{18} Do you like to listen to "old music", a.k.a. the music your parents listened to way back in the day? (not that our parents are old or anything....) Sometimes.....

{19} Do you like rap music? (random question, I know) No, I don't like rap music.

{20} Ready for Christmas music yet? ABSOLUTELY YES!!!

This was FUN! Do you like music?

Hi Everyone! We got a request from a girl named Phoebe who requested a review on Lanie's Hammock! Check out her American Girl blog at http://lovethatdoll.blogspot.com/      It really is awesome!!!!!
Lanie's hammock may be a whopping $38 but let me tell you it is so worth it! The set includes Lanie's nature journal, the beautiful green hammock, an adorable pillow to go along with the hammock, some screws(to screw it together), and the instructions.
