I Survived . . . XD

Woah, long time no post! Sorry about that guys, but about a week ago a huge noreaster ripped through my state! The title's mostly a joke, but there was a fatal car accident only about a block from my house.
:( :( :( :(

Anyway, I was mostly letting you guys know I'm still alive. The power was out at my house from early Sunday morning to late Wednesday night. I had a snow day on Halloween :) And the next day too, because there wasn't any power at my school. Anyway, once we got back on Wednesday all of my teachers decided to load us with homework to try to make up for the lost days, hence the lack of posting. As soon as I get some time (maybe Wednesday, we'll see) I'm going to post a photo story I made AGES (well, two weeks) ago. It's for Halloween, so it's a little late, but I thought you guy'd like to see it anyway. :)

Halloween was kinda funny for me because there was snow everywhere while I was trick-or-treating. :) But, since there were still wires down all over the place a lot of kids didn't go this year. :( I went as a pirate named Anne Bonny (real person!) and I carried a stuffed parrot that I named Clyde (get it, Bonny and Clyde?)! My dolls dressed up, too, you'll see their costumes in the photostory!

Bye, guys! Thanks for reading!

Chrissa's Quest To Get a Blog!

Hey readers! It's Chrissa! Remember how I said awhile ago that I reeeeeeeeally want a blog like Katie? Well, she's almost given in! I thought that to show what a responsible blogger I'll be, I'd do a tag just like a real blogger! For simplicity's sake, I'm going to do the one she made awhile ago.

1. My favorite movie is 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'. Gotta love all those special effects!

2. My favorite book is 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkeban'.

3. My favorite store is the AG store! (No surprise there)

4. My favorite food is s'mores made with a slice of banana in it. (I looked for the picture of me eating one from my book, but I couldn't find it :(

5. My favorite dessert is also s'mores with a slice of banana in it :)

6. My favorite outfit is the one I'm wearing here. It consists of an orange shirt, jeans, a rainbow scarf, a crotched purse and western boots.

7. My favorite TV show is Project Runway and my favorite designer on it is Kimberly, but I like Anya and Anthony Ryan (too bad he got out :( too.

Favorite Kimberly outfit:

Favorite Anya outfit:

Favorite Anthony Ryan outfit:

Apparently I have good taste because all of these outfits won that challenge!

I tag Emma's (From My AG) dolls, Priya's dolls, Emma Wright's dolls, Hannah Wright's dolls, Caelen's Dolls, and any other dolls that think this looks like fun!

Thanks for looking!

Almost a whole year of blogging!

Hey guys! In preparation for my Blog-a-versary, I'm going to share some of the highlights of this past year. Today, to get started, I'm going to share the story of why I started my blog.

Almost two years ago one of my friends, who I used to play American Girl dolls with, gave away most of her stuff. She was really the only person I still played with at this point, so I was really sad. So I was fiddling on the internet one day, and I googled 'American Girl Doll Lovers'. And whoa! I couldn't believe all of the results! The first one that caught my eye was American Girl Fan. I saw the most recent post, which I think might've been the mini adventures of Kaya, I can't really remember, and I was instantly pulled in. I loved these things called photo stories, they were just so cool! Then from the links page on American Girl Fan, I found Our Dolls. I was amazed at the Gothard sisters' collection! I found a bunch of other blogs through comments on American Girl Fan.

Then, about a year ago, my guinea pig, Cookie (short for Lord Cookiemonster of the Guinea Pig Dynasty) died. I was really sad. When I had him, my dad and I had cleaned his cage every Saturday, and it took between an hour and an hour and a half depending on how much Cookie ate that week (if you know what I mean) so I didn't want to be reminded of that every week, so I thought I'd find something else to do on saturdays . . . and American Girl World was born. Believe it or not, my mom came up with the name. :)

Here's the first picture I ever took of an AG doll:

Not half bad, if I do say so myself.

And here's a picture I took of Emily today! I like the lighting in this one better, and I've learned that shadows exist in nature so it's okay to have them (hehe). I also think this picture is softer somehow.

What do you think?

Thanks for reading about the history of American Girl World!
