Me and My Doll Elizabeth

I was looking through some of my old pictures a few days ago, and I came across one that I wanted to show you all! :D

This is the picture of the day I got my second doll Elizabeth, and Hope got Samantha! This was on Christmas day of 2005. (I think the date on the camera was wrong.) My mom is in the picture too! I am so happy that I found it! :)

Here is a close-up of me when I was 12 years old with my new Elizabeth doll. I was so happy that day!

 

Here I am today, at 15 years old with my Elizabeth doll. I can't believe it has been 3 years since I got her! How time flies!

I hope you all enjoyed reminiscing with me! :)

 

Molly's Hair Fix-up

Since my doll Molly was my first American Girl Doll she has been loved on a lot! I was 9 or 10 when I got her, so I took her everywhere with me! To the library, wal-mart, even to Florida! I was playing with Molly a few days ago, and noticed that her hair was getting awfully hard to brush! Molly's hair is frizzier than my other dolls because when I was younger I didn't have a doll hairbrush, so I used my own. (NOT a good idea) I have really been wanting to make Molly's hair look better, so a few days ago I washed her hair. :)

I took off Molly's clothes, and put on a hair cape instead, so that she wouldn't get wet.

 Here is what Molly's hair looked like before I started washing it. I braid her hair a lot (her favorite style) so it has gotten a natural wave. I wanted to see if her hair would get straighter if I washed it too. :)

 

Here she is getting her hair washed. I used a mild shampoo and conditioner. I was sure to cover her eyes with a dry wash cloth! :)

 

After I washed her hair I brushed it out. Her hair has always been uneven, so I trimmed her hair just at the ends. (I got my mom's permisson too)

 

Here is after I trimmed her hair. It looks SO much nicer!

I put Molly on a chair, in her room to let her hair dry. It had to dry for one day.

 

This is what her hair looked like the next day!!! I am so amazed at how nice it looks now! It is so much easier to brush!

 

Now, Molly will have a new 'do when she goes back to school! :)

My Doll's New Room!

When my dolls are not being played with by me they are sitting on a bin in my closet, since I have two cats that like to get into things.:) They looked a little crowded in there though, so just a few weeks ago I renovated their room completely! :D

Here is what their room looked liked before...

and now after! :D

Let me give you a tour of their new room! :)

Here is the dining room, where the girls can eat and also have parties!

Here is part of the living room where Kit is writing a letter! I wonder what she is writing...

 

In the other part of the living room Abbey is reading...

 

(I am also going to turn the doll box into a TV sometime)

 

Now here we are in the girls bedroom, where Addy is sleeping...

 

 

Here's a cute decoration in the room.

 

Here is their own closet where they keep backpacks, purses, and shoes. (It used to be my jewelry box! I took out the drawer to make the shoes be able to be there! You can also see that Mia's mom let them keep the dolls! hehe :) )

 

 Just for fun, here is my whole closet with my doll's area being at the bottom! :)

We hope you enjoyed the tour! :D

 

Elizabeth Gets Her Cast Off...

"Hi Everyone, it's me Elizabeth! Do you Remember when I fell and sprained my ankle during our Sports Day, well you may have noticed that I now have my cast off! I got it off just a few weeks ago! Let me tell you about my visit to the doctor's office to get my cast off...

My mom drove me to the doctor's office, and a little while after we were there it was my turn to see the doctor. I followed a really nice looking nurse through the building, and finally we turned a corner and the nurse opened a door into a room. She helped me onto the examination table, and then I was told that the doctor would be in to see me soon, and she went out of the room.

 I don't really mind doctors much, but I don't like being left alone at all so that was a little scary.

They had some posters there in the room, so I looked at those to pass the time, and calm my nerves. Finally, I heard the door knob jiggle and then Mrs. Martin, my doctor, came in.

 Dr. Martin is really nice, and always greets me with a smile. 'Hello she said to me, how are doing today Elizabeth.' 'I am doing well, but a little nervous' I replied. 'Oh, don't be nervous, it won't hurt at all' Dr. Martin smiled warmly like she always does. I was happy that she said it wouldn't hurt. After I answered some questions of hers, she checked my cast to see that all was well.

She smiled again at the stickers my friends had decorated it with. 'What a pretty cast, Elizabeth' she said. 'My friends decorated my cast with stickers my mom bought me' I said happily. 'You must have some very nice friends.' she told me. 'They are the best.' I replied proudly. After she checked out my cast, she told me she would be right back. Oh no I thought, I was being left alone again! To my relief Mrs. Martin came back just a minute later. She had a type of saw thing, but she reassured me again that it wouldn't hurt. Then She started to saw through the cast. I didn't really keep track of time, but it seemed like it didn't take long at all.

 After she was done sawing, the cast slid right off!

Then Dr. Martin gave me my crutches, and helped me climb down from the examination table.

 

I stepped down onto the floor with both of my feet! (I put on my other shoe first though) It felt so weird, but I was really happy that it was off!  I had to stay on my crutches still for a week or so, but at least I could walk! Also, I got to keep my cast since it was decorated so beautifully by my friends.

As I walked out of the Doctor's office with my mom, I was so happy that I had my cast off!

So there is my story! I now don't have a cast or crutches! The next time I preform Gymnastics I will be really careful!"

Love,

Elizabeth
