First of all I want to Thank everyone for their questions, taking the time to read my blog and ask your questions!! It really means a lot to me!!!

Ok let's start!!
*********************************************************************************


Q: What's the story on how you got all your dolls?
A:Well the story was I got June for Christmas I had really gotten into American Girl Dolls so my Brother Joey he knew I wanted a doll so when he was snooping around in the living room he saw a 18 in doll sitting in the middle of the room!! So he runs and wakes me up ( At 6:30 ) :) !! 

Lacey was from E Bay her hair was really bad and she was really cheap so my mom bought her and to this day we are still working on her hair !!!

Then Katherine was a display doll :( she has 2 holes in the back of her legs where she was strapped down we decided to save her plus her hair was really pretty . She was a surprise gift but you know doll lovers we know what a 18 in box looks like !

Q: Who is your favorite AG Doll ( retired or not )?

Q: What do you like better Historical Dolls, Girl Of The Year or Just Like You Dolls?

A:Crafts and fun things I do with my mom and the girls. I liked AmericanGirlFan's blog and I wnated to have a blog like hers so I searched around and found blogger I already had a Youtube so I made a Blog !!


Q: How do you get so much stuff?
A:I save money like I saved up enough money to buy Emily , Yank, and one outfit but then me and my parents saw we could save 14$ So we combined our money and bought the best friends collection !! My brother bought me Yank though!! My mom told the lady no so she just gave me Bennett and he bought Yank !! My mom also looks on the Sale page on American Girl if it's something thats cheap she will buy me a little present !!


Q: Do you buy it, if so how do you get your money or do your parents buy you what you want?
A:My parents do not buy me what I want I mean they give me gifts sometimes but I'm not spoiled I save my money from chores, Basketball, Grandparents, Holidays, It all adds up in the end !!

As GOTY 2014 rehearses her ballet routine for The Nutcracker, she wonders if she'll ever master her pirouettes, especially with her classmate Renata pointing out her every mistake. She tries focusing on the other parts of the production she enjoys: exploring the costume and props room and helping out with costumes for some of the younger dancers. But when Jade, her big sister who also attends Anna Hart School of the Arts, becomes moody and withdrawn, GOTY 2014 taps into her design skills to try to find a solution for Jade. In the meantime, can GOTY 2014 find the confidence to tune out Renata and perfect her own performance, too?

GOTY 14 is doing great at the Anna Hart School of the Arts--her dancing idol Jackie Sanchez even invites her to go on tour! GOTY 2014 jumps on board, but she quickly finds that the traveling show has its challenges, not the least of which is bossy Renata who was invited to come, too. When the dance show suddenly starts falling apart, GOTY 2014 tries to help Jackie pull it back together--and begins to learn more about a mentor who encouraged Jackie to dance as a young girl. As GOTY taps into her talents to try to save the show, she not only discovers who inspired Jackie, but also how she, herself, can inspire those around her.

Welcome Home Emily!!!!

We finally made it home and the girls had a GREAT Welcome Home Party for our new sister Emily!

 
Everyone is ready to Party even the pets!! LOL!!

 
June, Lacey, Katherine, Licorice, Coconut and Praline welcome Yank, Bennett and Emily!

 
Emily is so happy to be home but is wondering when Molly will get here!

 
Bennett and Yank checking out their new home.

Emily: Guys we are home!!!

 
Everyone blowing on the Blow Horns and Celebrating the new family members but
Hey Where is Molly? I thought Emily and Molly were coming to live with us?
 
Stay tuned for more....................
 
 
 
 
 
********************************************************************
 
How to make the Party Hats and Blow Horns:
 
 
We found a Party Hat template on line and just reduced it by 1/3 and printed it out

 
 
Also some confetti or something to decorate the hats with.

 
I also used a hole punch to make different color decorations.
 

Trace your Party Hat pattern.

 
Trace as many as you need

 
I decorated them before I cut them.

 
Doesn't it look pretty??
 
I forgot to take pictures of the final product so just cut it out, then roll it and glue it on the ends and you got a hat. You can get some really thin elastic to help hold the hat on, I didn't need it the hats stayed on pretty good. I might add the string later.
 
 
***************************************************************************
 
How to make the Blow Horns:
 
 
 
You need some streamer, scissors, a template (we just cut the Party Hat Template in half) and some colored paper for the base of the Blow Horn.
 
 
 
This is how it will look!

 
Cut some stream about 6 in long

 
Fold it in half

 
Then in half again

 
Then start cutting it in slits (like we did for the Pinata) don't cut to the end.

 
Then open it up and you have like a hula skirt!

 
Put some glue on the end of the template

 
This is a better picture of what we did.

 
Then stick on the hula skirt!! and press it down hard.

 
It will look like this

 
Then roll it up and it will look like this

 
Trim the ends so they aren't so long

 
This is the end product!!

 
Fluff it up and your ready to Party!!!!
 
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed our Little Party!!!
 
Bye,
Kayla, June, Katherine, Lacey and Emily!!
