Who Should GOTY 2017 Be? Tag

Today I am doing another tag! Hidden Hollow AG Crafts nominated this tag to anyone with a doll with dark hair. This looks like a fun tag and since Beth has dark hair, I decided to give it a go! Thank you Hidden Hollow AG Crafts!


Rules:
Thank the person who nominated you
Answer the 10-15 questions given
Make 10 questions for the nominees to answer
Nominated 2-5 people

What is your GOTY's name?
Lily Katherine Fairbanks

How old is she?
8

What is her personality?
She is fun-loving and is very kind. She is willing to give up something if it means another kid who wants to can have a chance. She loves to donate her toys and clothes, and help out at the food bank.

What are her hobbies?
Lily's main hobby, besides helping other people out, is musical theater. She loves to perform. She has played lots of roles in her local community theater. She takes voice lessons and dance classes. She also loves to walk her friend's dog and play piano.

Does she have any siblings?
Yes! She has a younger brother who is six. Her older sister is 10 and she is also into musical theater.

Friends?
Her next door neighbor is the same age as her and is one of her good friends. They play outside together, and love to swing on the swing set.

Pets?
She can't have any furry pets because her older sister is allergic, but she does have a fish tank with beta named Eleanore.

What are the outfits in her collections?
She has an audition outfit including: black leggings, a sparkly soft t-shirt fabric dress, a headband, and shoes.
She has a performance outfit: A costume from the play she is in during one of her books.
She has a play outfit: A t-shirt from her most recent musical, shorts, flip flops, friendship bracelet, and hair clip.
She has a swimsuit: A one piece swimsuit, water shoes, swim cap, goggles, and towel.
She also has pajamas and an outfit that she wears while working at the food bank.

Anything else about her? 
Well, I thought I'd give a brief description of what she looks like. She has short brown hair with side part (like #57 but without side bangs). Classic face mold, with grey eyes and a new pattern of freckles. She would have Grace's feathered eyebrows.

The major sets in her collection would include a swing set with various outdoor playtime accessories. Another larger set would be a black upright piano with music, a metronome, bench, and lamp.

All About AG Hair Tag!

 I decided to create a tag! It's called "All About AG Hair".


Rules: Thank the person who nominated you
           Answer the questions
           Nominate 3 doll-bloggers and notify them
           Ask 5 questions about doll hair/hairstyles

I will answer my own questions to start off!

Which of your doll's hair color is your favorite?

Of the dolls that I have, I think Teddie has my favorite hair color. There are five different colors mixed in to make the strawberry blonde.

Straight, wavy, or curly?

Wavy :) But straight is nice for photo shoots :D

Long, short, or medium?

I like longer hair, because then I can do more hairstyles.

Favorite go-to hairstyle for your dolls?

A small section of hair pulled back with a bobby pin.

If you could create an American Girl doll with any hair color and style, what would it be?

I think it would be interesting if AG had a doll with really curly hair (like #26), but in a different color, like blonde or brown.

And I tag to answer the same questions...

Mini Mad
Journal of Two Dolls
Small Dolls in a Big World

In other news, I sewed Teddie a new outfit this week and can't wait to share it! :)

Sometimes When You Dream -- A Lyric Photoshoot

It's June! I took this photo shoot of Brooke today!


Sometimes when you dream


Your dreams come true


In extraordinary ways


Suddenly, a day can be so amazing 


And sometimes when you yearn


You burn the air


And then you are not the same


And the world is


(Astonishing)

-----

If you're wondering, the song is called Sometimes When You Dream and it's from Little Women: The Musical. I think lyric photo shoots are fun to do! I hope to do more in the future :) I hope you liked this one!
