Pineapple Phoebe

The next couple of posts will also be Phoebe oriented 😂 But here is another photo shoot of her!

Thanks for stopping by!

Phoebe's First Photo Shoot... In Hawaii!

Phoebe journeyed to Hawaii recently and I got some photos!

 

That was Phoebe's first photo shoot! I'd heard that the Ivy mold can be difficult to photograph because the dolls usually don't look at the camera. I noticed this while photographing Phoebe, but hopefully I can figure out the right angle in which she is looking directly at the camera. For now, not a big deal :)

Random thought: I've been thinking about her story, and I think she may have cousins who live in Hawaii, or perhaps her grandparents live there.

Also, a note on her name, because I don't think I have mentioned this yet... Phoebe is not a name in Little Women, however there is a character in Louisa May Alcott's Eight Cousins named Phebe. Thus, I expanded from just Little Women inspired names, but stayed within the Alcott realm :) Eight Cousins is about a girl named Rose, which is actually where Teddie got her middle name! Fun fact ;)

Until next time!

2016 in Blogging

Hi! Happy New Years Eve! (Or New Years Day depending on what time zone you are in ;)

Before I get into the true purpose of this post, I just want to mention that I recently went to the American Girl store for the first time! It was fantastic, and I took some pictures (which are kind of outdated now since the new releases), but I will post a few anyway. Also, I purchased two little things with the gift card I received from Jessica's photo contest! I will share what I got in a future post.

Anyways, as 2016 comes to a close, I thought I'd post some statistics/summary of my blogging year! This year, my blog received about 15,000 views, and gained 9 new followers. The most viewed post was Teddie's First Photo Shoot. Thank you so much!

Thank you to everyone who has commented on my blog! I love getting all of your wonderful comments :)

Now I will share my personal favorite posts from this year!

January

Remodel Photostory! This post was really exciting, because my dolls moved in to their own official space with bedrooms. I have had a lot of fun decorating and making each room unique to their personalities :)

February

 Maggie Emelyn. This shoot was a lot of fun! Maggie is the Star Wars fan in the doll family :)

March

Ooo this month was hard to pick, but I ended up choosing Happy Easter, because (although the dolls kept falling over throughout the shoot) this was the first photo shoot I did with more than two dolls.

April

In April, I reached 2 years of blogging, so that was exciting! My doll family also welcomed Teddie!

May

Teddie by the Pool. I believe this was the second shoot I did with Teddie. I really like how it turned out :)

June

Playing in the Stream. I feel like this shoot was perfect for Maggie. She loves to play outside and do active things, so exploring a stream was great for her :)

July

Summer Evening. Beth had a lovely evening on the dock. And oops I only made 2 posts in July...

August

Ohana. The flowers blooming were a great backdrop!

September

Love is Marching. I had been planning this lyric shoot for a while, and was really happy when I finally had chance to do it!

October

Fallen Leaf. I always enjoy photographing Maggie :)

November 

Teddie's Ramble. Fall was made for Teddie. Her hair matches all the fading leaves.

December

 

Happiness Is. This shoot was so fun. Possibly one of my most favorite ever.

I wish you a happy New Year! :D

 

PS I recently returned from Hawaii, and I took Phoebe along!! I took lots of photos and can't wait to post them!

Phoebe Browses the AG Website

Hi! Phoebe here! I'm so happy to be back for another post! Today I will be talking about some cool old-fashioned things I found on the American Girl website!

 This bike! This is Samantha's bicycle and it is so cute! From the white wheels to the pink metal to the flower basket, it would be so fun to ride this bike around while pretending that I am Samantha. This would be amazing to have on a summer evening!

This is called "Josefina's Heirlooms". I included it mostly because of the fan! Look at it! It's so amazing! I would put it in my bedroom (when I get one 😆). I really like Marie-Grace's white fan, but it isn't sold by American Girl anymore, so Josefina's would be my second pick!

 This set is awesome. Check it out! The old-fashioned camera would be so fun to play with.

Can you have an old-fashioned room without a phonograph and records? I don't think so. It reminds me of Christy!

This might be my favorite. I would love to read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm! The dominoes and the Russian dolls. Plus a bag and crochet supplies!

Lastly, Kit's Typewriter. I have always wanted a typewriter, because then I could write out documents that look like they were written a long time ago. That would be cool!

Well, I think that's it for me today! Bye!
