Oh my gooseness!

Wow, it's the last day of 2011!
The days drag by, but the years fly past! Time startles me. I don't like time myself, so I think I'll be glad when time will stop. :)

P.S. Sorry, not Ivy! I just wanted to steal Ivy's blog for this post...XD

Nahji is Here Part 1 (Video)

Title says all!

Let me know how it goes!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

To all people everywhere, Merry Christmas!!!
It's so hard to believe its Christmas! Yet here I am, at 5 in the morning, waiting. 
So, while I wait, would you like to sing some Christmas praise with me?

Joy to the World 

The Lord is Come

Let Earth receive her King

Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and heaven and nature sing

O Come, all Ye Faithful

Joyful and triumphant

O come Ye, O come Ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him

Born the King of angels

O come let us adore Him

O come let us adore Him

Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

Hark, the Herald Angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

Peace on Earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled.

Joyful all ye nations rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With angelic host proclaim,

Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark the Herald Angels sing

Glory to the newborn King!

Infant Holy, infant lowly

For His bed a cattle stall

Oxen lowing, little knowing

Christ the babe is born of all

Swift are singing, angels winging

Noels ringing, tidings bringing

Christ the babe is born for you,

Christ the babe is born for you.

Now if Yoda were caroling with us, the lyrics would be a whole different story. (Ye Faithful, O come all, Joyful and triumphant, to Bethlehem O come ye O come ye...)

I would like to wish you ALL a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Arizona's Zone: Part 11

As soon as I was in my bedroom, alone, I cried. "It's all my fault," I sobbed into my pillow. I didn't see Jubilee standing at the door. "I think it's time you told your secret," a gentle, yet firm voice said. 


I didn't want to hide it anymore, so I told all. Jubilee nodded. "It's up to the police now," She said. "No! I can help!" I protested. Jubilee shook her head. "I don't think so. Why don't you help us prepare Nahji's room?"


"I don't want to do Nahji's room, I want to find Willow."
"Well, you're not making our new sister feel very welcome here." 
I sighed, knowing she was right. But I wasn't giving up.


The next morning, I smiled, remembering that there was no more school. I flew out the door with Spicemuffin yelling that I hadn't had my breakfast yet. :) I had no time for breakfast!


I searched till lunchtime. Grace had told me the name of the fast food place Willow had gone into. I decided to go there. The food was very cheap, both monetary and taste-wise. 


I decided to talk to the manager. "Did you see a little hungry girl the other day?" I bluntly asked. He eyed my for a second. "Sure did," He replied.


"Where is she?" I asked. "Dad came and got her yesterday." He said. I was suspicious. Willow didn't have a dad! She was an orphan. "What did they go?" I asked casually.


Now it was the manager's turn to eye me suspiciously. It was a while before he pointed out the window. "That blue house on the corner over there." I thanked him, and ran towards the house. It was an old house, with paint peeling off the walls.


I grimaced. "Well, Willow must be in there somewhere." I thought. I sneaked up to the porch, and looked around. The windows were covered with curtains. The door had windows!


I promptly stepped up to the door, and peeked inside. Suddenly, an old rotted board in the porch snapped under my weight! I gasped as the door swung open with a horrible creak.


The man standing there did not look pleasant. In fact, his eyes looked evil. "What do you want?" He demanded. My heart was beating faster than the speed of light. But it nearly stopped altogether when I spotted a gun on his belt.

A new friend

Remember a while back, when Fidelia was writing Nahji? I think it was on Mama's blog. Click the linky, and it will take you to the post. :)
Well, I have a story for you!
Yesterday, I was reading. Fidelia came rushing in. "Ivy! Ivy! IVY!" She exclaimed. I winced. She was loud!
"Yes?" I answered.
"I got a fat envelope from Nahji!" She replied.
I grinned. I liked Nahji. She had just turned nine last month, and was a little older than Fide. "Well, open it!" I urged, putting aside my book. Fide destroyed the envelope, and pulled TWO letters out! 
She opened the first one.


My dear friend Fidelia,
Such a lot had happened since last you wrote me. I have made a new friend! She is my pen pal. She is from an orphanage in Ethiopia! Ethiopia sounds ever so far away. Her name is Rahel. She is very nice, and is 9 years old, just like me! I asked her to write a note, and I had her sign a photo of herself. She is a very beautiful girl. And her hair is absolutely amazing! I think you'd like her, Fide. Did I also mention that she, too, is a believer? I hope that soon, we shall meet again.
Friends always,
Nahji


Fidelia snatched up the other letter. A photo slipped out. "Oooo, she IS pretty!" I murmured. Fidelia could hardly keep still!!

Unlike Nahji, who wrote in script, Rahel wrote in plain bold letters.
Hello, my friends in America!
My name is Rahel. I am Ethiopian. I was born on November 24th, nine years ago. I enjoy bright colors. I hope you like my photo. It was taken in a real studio. I am very proud of it. America has always sounded exciting to me. I hope that I get there soon. And when I do, I might change my name. I'm not sure though. Everybody always says my name is pretty, but I'm not so sure. Bright colors are my thing, although I'll wear anything pretty. Anyway, I'd better go. 
Best wishes,
Rahel


I had to say, it was pretty exciting! We can't wait to talk to Rahel and Nahji again soon. Ethiopia and India do sound very exciting.

We Clean the Room

Well, Mama's bedroom was getting pretty messy. That meant that our bedrooms were getting messy too! No one wants giant clothes or giant hangers tossed haphazardly into their rooms. So! Us dolls decided that we were going to clean it for her.
First, we wondered how to begin. We decided to gather all the clothes into the center of the room. That was hard! So we took a short nap.

 Then, we folded that big ole monster pile of clothes! I sat on top of the 'skirts' pile. :)

 It was then necessary to browse through Mama's fan art of her favorite series, DragonKeeper.

 The one on bottom is "Dragonkeeper Kale" Can you see Kale? How about the dragons?

 Aha! Jubilee gathered all media. We found an AG hair book, Narnia {squeal}, Return of the King from Lord of the Rings {yay!}

Haha, then we gathered some other of Mama's stuff into a pile. :) Hehe!!

After we finally finished, we struck a group pose for the camera. I can do the splits! Joy did a headstand, while the rest of the girls just created random poses. :)

I hope you enjoyed!!

We never knew

I have a guest speaker today! And it's someone I never even knew about.

We're dolls. I'm a doll. I'm not ashamed of it. Most people don't even know that we're alive, just like everyone else!
But what about our dolls?

My sisters and I have three dolls all together. We assumed they were just...well...not alive.
Well. We were wrong!

May I introduce...Sierra Rose!

♡♥♡Hi! I'm Sierra Rose. Today, I'm going to talk about my friends Taylor Angelique and Karina Grace. We are all 11 years old. It's nice to meet you!
So, our story begins with...well, when we first joined up. Prior to meeting each other, we were shy, and dared not even move or blink. 


Aren't I pretty? I'm the redhead in the pink hoodie. Taylor is, of course, the blond. We were riding on a pony: Chestnut. Those are our dogs. The white terrier is my pup, Cupcake. The brown beagle is Taylor's dog, Patches. If you're wondering, Karina isn't there with us because she wasn't around yet. :)

 Here's the first time Taylor and I got to have a long talk. Using our legs and being silly felt GOOD after months of sitting on Spicemuffin's bookshelf, sitting still and wearing the same facial expression. SO wonderful!

 You don't know how hard it is to be an Only Hearts Club doll. If people thought that AG dolls were small, what do you think we are? Miniscule. Tiny. Hardly even thought of. Well, it felt good to have this special time together. BFF time!

  Even the pups loved it!

I'm terribly sorry about the lighting and quality of these pictures. I'm not so good with the self timer or a huge camera. :( Also, the blue twilight was messing up the cam. 

Continuing...

Last week, I called a meeting. I told the girls to meet by the big pumpkin. 

Here's Karina, the girl in the light sweater.

Taylor suggested we tell Spicemuffin. I nodded. We all thought it would be the best thing to do. 

"So what are we waiting for?" Karina blurted out. "Let's go!" We all yelled, "YEAH!"

So, we directly went to Spicemuffin and introduced ourselves, then and there. Spicemuffin, perplexed, excused herself. 
We thought we had messed everything up, and moped.

But then, guess what? Spicemuffin surprised us with a new bedroom! We were so pleased. We still LOVE LOVE LOVE our new room. 

All of us hope that soon, other dolls will join us soon. :)♡♥♡
