Another School Day!

The end of school for the year (YAY!! XD) is fast approaching, and my dolls and I are working hard on finishing up the last of our work. I was working on a essay today, and Nicki is sitting beside me, looking pretty and 'helping' me. :). See her pretty hairstyle, too? For any one who has Nicki, or any curly haired doll, this is a great hairstyle. It keeps her curls out of her face, and she looks sooooo pretty with the little barrettes!

Felicity's Missing Necklace. Part 1

Felicity was just picking one of her fancier dresses for Nicki's upcoming birthday party when she realized something. Her favorite necklace, the one with the pearl, was missing!
"Oh, no!" She screeched.

"What are you screeching about?"  Rebecca asked, walking in.
"My favorite necklace is missing!" Felicity said, very upset.  "You know, the one with the little pearl."

"Well, it couldn't have just walked off.  Did you look?" Rebecca asked.

"Yes, I looked everywhere!"

"What's all the yelling about?" Saige asked, walking in.  She was still in pajamas, and sleepy eyed.  Both Felicity and Rebecca stared at Saige, forgetting their problem for the time being.
"Saige...." Rebecca began.
"I don't know if you realize this, but you're still in your pajamas!" Felicity finished.
"So???" Saige asked. "I don't know why you girls are already up and dressed! It's really early in the morning. "
"It is NOT early in the morning!" Rebecca answered.
"Is too!" Saige responded. "It's not light out yet!"
"Saige, its really, really cloudy out. It's about to storm! That's why you don't think it's light out yet."
"Well, it still can't be THAT late!" Saige insisted.
"It's 11:00 am, Saige!" Rebecca responded.
"Oh, (nervous giggle), I guess I overslept."
Rebecca rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Anyway, still. What's all this yelling about?" Saige asked.
"My favorite necklace is missing!" Felicity said.
"Well, Nancy Drew to the rescue!" Saige exclaimed.

"Nancy Drew?!" Rebecca said. "You've got to be kidding!"
"What are you talking about?" Saige said. "I've got red hair, just like her!" She pointed to her hair.

"I don't care how its found." Felicity said. "I just really want it back! I'm going out to look."

"Ok, ok." Saige said. "Give me a chance as Nancy Drew. I'll go get dressed and start looking for clues for your necklace." Saige shuffled back into her bedroom, and Rebecca and Felicity went off separately to look for the necklace.

Look for the next part coming soon! :). I hope you liked the first part of the photostory Felicity's Missing Necklace!

Helen and Cindy's Sunny Adventure! (A Collaboration between Fun with the Dolls and AG Photostory Central)

Hi, everybody!    It was an extremely pretty, sunny day, so Helen and Cindy decided to go outside.

First they had a delicious picnic of chicken tenders, french fries, and sandwiches.

"French fries are delicious, don't you think Helen?" Cindy asked, munching.
"Yes", Helen responded, "but I'm having a sandwich."

Cindy wanted to play a game.
"Let's play hide'n'seek!" Helen suggested.
"Ok!" Cindy agreed.

Cindy went off to hide, and Helen closed her eyes, then opened them and began to search.
"Maybe she's behind this concrete block." Helen wondered to herself.

"CINDY!!!!! Where are you?" Helen called, a little frustrated.

"There you are!" Helen exclaimed, excited to have found Cindy.

Next, they decided to pick some buttercups.

"Aren't they pretty?" Cindy commented.

Helen admiring her buttercup bouquet!  :)

For the end of their fun day, Helen and Cindy decided to climb on the roof! Lol!  :)  I hope you enjoyed the photostory!

Helen's Rainy Day

Hi, girls! Helen here! Well, today it was really, really rainy.....and windy too! Here's what happened:


It was soooo rainy!  Just standing this far out on the porch got my shoes wet!

"Can't I pleaaassseeeee go out and play?" I asked, looking through the raindrop-studded window.
"No, Helen!" Mommy said.  "You'll get all wet! "
"I don't care!" I responded.

"Well, can't I at least go check the mail?" I asked, looking longingly at the pitch black box.
"No, Helen," Mommy replied. "But I'll go check it for you.  Maybe there's something for you!"

Me sitting on the bench, looking pretty, waiting for Mommy to come back from checking the mail.

Soon Mommy was back.
"Helen!  There is a letter for you!"  I grabbed it excitedly, wondering who it was from.  I looked at the return address.  It was from Kanani!

To pass the rest of the rainy afternoon, I curled up with my letter to read about Kanani's adventures in the warm sea and surf.  What do you do on rainy days?

Early contest theme for this week!

I'm so excited, I just couldn't wait to post the theme for the week this Saturday. So, the theme for this week is..................Patriotism! I thought that was a good theme, since Monday is Memorial Day. The theme ends a week from Saturday, so send in your photos! :). Send any photos to funwiththedolls@gmail.com

New Heart for Heart Girls dolls this summer!

Heart for Heart girls is coming out with two new dolls this summer: Shola and Mosi! :). I like them both, but I totally love Shola! :). She may be coming to live with the rest of my 'dolly family'! (Mosi is on the top, Shola on the bottom)

Dreaming of Winter in the Summer Photo Contest!

Update: This time we have a sponsor! Yay! And it is..........Danielle! Danielle crochets adorable doll hats and scarves, and for this contest, she is sponsoring with an adorable doll hat that one of YOU can win! :)


Yup, its time for another photo contest for summer! This time, its an elimination style. Every week, I'll put all of the names of the girls who entered in a hat and draw one. The one who gets drawn is eliminated, and the contest continues. The whole contest will continue in this way until there are two people left, and then the one left gets the prize. I'm doing it this way because I don't want to have to pick a photo and hurt anyone's feelings, and this way is completely random! :). There will be a new theme every week, starting this Saturday, and the photo you send in should have to do with this. The next Saturday, the eliminated person is drawn, and a new theme is started for the week.

Rules:
~~~~~~
-have your parents' permission if you're under 18, and make sure you're able to give out your address
-the photos you send in must be your own completely (no stealing or copying; if you think your photo has been copied, let me know)
-make your photos appropriate
-Have fun! :)

The prize for the winner is to be announced: I'll let you know about that later on. :)

I was Awarded!

I know I'm late with this, but better now than never, right? :). Well, I was awarded the Brilliant Blog Bouquet Award from Country Girl Studios. ( http://countrygirlstudios.blogspot.com) :). Yay!

1. If you could have a "flower pen name" like we have here on our blog, Violets and Daisies what would it be?

2. What is your favorite ever Bible verse and why?

Galatians 5:22 - "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control." I've always liked this verse a lot; its like reminding you how to be godly and kind to others.
