Disney Dolls

 Today, I decided to play in Mama's room. I climbed up on her chair...

Why they make chairs so tall is beyond me.

 To my surprise, Mama came and sat besides me. {note from spicemuffin--ignore my messy room!}
'I have something to show you,' she said.

 She turned on her computer, and pulled up Google Chrome.

 To my surprise, she typed in the Disney store URL! I was a bit confused. What was she going to show me?

 I was shocked when she clicked on Rapunzel's link! 'Isn't she cute? Her hair looks amazing. I've never had a jointed doll before...'

 'What do you think?' she asked.
'Don't you like me?' I whispered.

 'Of course! I wouldn't love any of you any less if she were here.'
'Then...I guess it would be fun if she came.'

 I looked at her. She was cute in her own way. Then I saw her lovely jointed elbows and wrists.

 I looked at my own inflexible arm, and sighed.

 'Well Rapunzel,' I said, 'if you come, you're going to have quite an adventure!'

It's me, Ivy!!

Okay, not wanting to panic but...

People are taking over my blog!!


Anyway, Ari has convinced me that I need a new name. We can't do Simply Ivy, Always Arizona, and Kylie's Letters as a title!

This is where you come in. I need you to help me come up with a name. Yup,
please comment below telling us your name ideas and description ideas for this blog!


Thank you kindly. :)
Please, scroll down to see Kylie's post. I'm feeling very nice today. :)

Kylie's Letters: A Day in the Park

Hello! It's Kylie, with my very first post. I lightly mentioned to Arizona that I might be posting...I hope it's alright! To be truthful, I'm nervous of Ivy, and that she'll be mad at me for posting on her blog. Oh well. :)

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about myself {don't worry, I'll still tell you about the park!}

I'm 10 years old, and I'm from Ethiopia. My name is Kylie Grace, and I'm an adopted sister. I love chocolate! I can't sing, {unlike Nahji} but I can play the piano. Sometimes, I try to take pictures with Mama's great big Nikon camera. It's huge and heavy! My sisters say I'm a 'people pleaser'. I guess that means I please people? I think writing is fun. I hope you all will be my friends!

Now to the story.

It was February the 4th. Mama took me and Ivy to Elliebob's house! It was very pretty there. I took a few seconds to run around the grass, and scramble up their tree. I'm proud to say none of the other dolls can keep up with me. Eventually though, Mama made me go inside. Elliebob's house had the shiniest smoothest wood floors I had ever seen! It was all I could do not to just sliiiiiiiide across that floor.
Then, Mama and Elliebob took me into Elliebob's bedroom. Sitting to the side was this beautiful tanned Mexican girl. She had the prettiest hair I'd ever seen.
"Hi, I'm Kylie," I said.
"Hello," She said. "I'm Consuelo."
"How long have you been here?"
"Since before Christmas! How about you?"
"I just got here Christmas day!"

Well, needless to say, we became good friends in a matter of minutes. Consuelo and I were interrupted suddenly when Elliebob suggested, "Let's go to the park!"

Elliebob's mom was kind enough to give all of us a ride to the nearest park.

It was exciting riding in the car! Here we are, looking out the window.

 The grass was a bit dry and prickly. Since it's winter, a lot of the grass is dead.

 Consuelo was thrilled to be out in the open. I love her gentle sweet nature.

 My hair is so unruly! You wouldn't believe how hard it is to put in a ponytail. Consuelo insisted it was really cute. She enjoyed bouncing my curls around. I laughed. "Try brushing it!" I teased.

 Just look at this interesting tree! One of the good things of being a doll is being able to see the littler things. We can really appreciate everything. After my dark, bumpy, scary UPS trip here, anything is great! Mama told me that Consuelo and I were bought and shipped at the same time. She even told me that we were next to each other the whole time! Too bad we couldn't talk. It would've been impossible to speak through all that cardboard and plastic.

 Consuelo gave me a boost, and I shimmied up that old tree. Doesn't it look amazing? Kind of spooky though. A great "dolloween" tree!

Consuelo showed me her favorite path. It was nice and clean and neat. Okay, maybe not 'clean' to you Americans. :) But in Africa, the paths are nothing but little lanes where there are no weeds. It's so dusty, hot and dry!

 We talked as we walked. Before this, I'd never taken a long walk with a friend. It was quite a new experience for me!

 Here we are!

 Consuelo then went back on the grass. I stayed on the path.

 Woah, look at this tree! Isn't it huge? It was pretty darn awesome.

 I love this picture of myself, if I do say so. It looks like a real photographer did it! Sorry Mama, not to say that you're not a real  photographer. :)

 But, there were more places to explore. Mama had to pull me away! I waved goodbye to my tree.

 Then, I found this leaf. Truly, this is the biggest leaf I have ever seen. Seriously.

 "Look, Mama!" I called. She walked up. "I found a giant leaf!" To Mama, it wasn't very big. But she praised me on my find.

 Towards the end of our walk, we found unusual picnic benches! I would never be able to eat at this table. It's huge!

 On our way back, I showed Consuelo a good spot for a campout. It was nice, dry, and shady underneath those branches. That's what I call instant shelter.

 They were branches from coniferous {something along those lines anyway} trees, as you can see from this picture.

 There was another branch not too far away. I sat on it. Well, I can't say it was a comfortable seat! Yeah...

 Can you spot us? You may have to click on the picture to enlarge it. :)

 Oops! After the above picture was taken, I fell down! I think I tripped on a dirt clump.

 Mama came and helped me up. :D

When we went home, we got to eat pizza and breadsticks! Yum! We never eat pizza. Here at Spicemuffin's home, we are all on diet. We usually only eat Challah bread, other than that, no wheat, grains, occasional potatoes, no rice, and nothing with a lot of sugar in it. 

Well, enough about me. That was my day in the park! Hope you have a fun time today. :)

Spoiler: I can't keep a secret. We might be having a giveaway this month.

Rahel Arrives Part 2

Then, quicker than lightning, Rahel pulled away, and dashed into the house. I sighed, and followed. {sorry no pics on this post}

She rapidly and excitedly introduced herself to my sisters. Of course, she and Jubilee became very good friends. She loved Fidelia!

I followed my sisters around. Sure, it was nice that there was another doll. But, I confess, I liked our little group before she and Nahji came. There were just too much arrivals.

Nahji was so excited. Eventually, she came over to my side. "Ivy is not happy?" She said to me. I didn't reply. Her eyes were so pitiful. "Ivy does not like Rahel."

"I like her okay," I said with a smile, hoping she'd go. This did not cheer Nahji up. She pouted. "You want Mama to change her personality?"

"No!" I was quick to say. She smiled. "Come. We're about to have our names changed!" This piqued my interest. I followed her, and sat down next to Jubi. "What's going on?" I whispered.

"Some of us have requested that their names be changed!" Mama had Rahel on her lap. "I've been watching you for a while, Rahel. I think I have a few suggestions for you!"

Rahel squirmed excitedly. "Here are your choices: Kylie, Kallista, and Mira." Mama smiled. Rahel thought for a while. "I like Kylie ," She murmured. "Then from now on, you are Kylie Grace. It's official! Welcome to our family, Kylie."

Rahel {oops}, that is, I mean Kylie squealed happily. Then, I realized that I was happy too! It was me who had the wrong attitude. I realized I loved her too.

To my surprise, Nahji leaped up onto Mama's lap. She was agile as an elf! "Well, I think one of these names will fit you," Mama said. "Jessamine, Kate, Nali, or Jewel."

"I like Jessamine and Kate." Mama grinned. "Then, your new name is Jessamine Kate." She smiled, and Nahji, err, Jessamine clapped her hands excitedly.

All of a sudden, I walked up, and hugged Jessamine and Kylie. Kylie looked at me with an adoring look. I was in love. I would love my sister forever.

Rahel Arrives

Well, it was one of those boring days. The other dolls were hanging out doing nothing, and the 9-inchers were having some 'private' group thing.

Arizona was miffed about being teased all the time. Everyone always says to her, "Ooooohh, look, there's the spy!" or "Spying on anyone Arizona?" Some neighbors even say {in the most sarcastic tone}, "Oh, you're a fantastic spy, Arizona."

Arizona gets so annoyed by that! Contrary to very popular belief, Arizona is more interested in frisbee, gardening, and {big shocker} is taking a modeling class! Fancy that!

Anyway, back to my story. Since no one wanted to do anything, I decided I would go outside for a walk.

I asked Nahji if she wanted to come. She refused. She missed her Indian friends, and was depressed that Rahel hadn't arrived yet.

 So, out I went. All by my lonesome. It was overcast and gloomy. I wondered if anything interesting would ever happen!

 Then, all of a sudden, I saw something! I blinked. Was I really seeing what I thought I was seeing?

 There was a girl standing on our back lawn! She grinned at me. She wore the most colorful clothes! And I loved her bracelets. She was a small girl, about Nahji's size.

 She was barefoot. I was shocked. Barefoot on the freezing stone? And a tee and sarong? This person did not know how to dress properly.

 The girl waved. "Hi!" She yelled at me, disregarding the fact that I was standing a little under 5 feet away.

 She skipped right up to me. A little too close for someone you don't happen to know. I felt uncomfortable, and blushed a bit.

 Without a second of warning, she launched forwards, and threw her arms around my waist. "I'm home! Hello Ivy, how are you? It's cold here! I'm Rahel from Ethiopia, and I'm really excited to be here! Do you know how long it took me to get here? But I'm here now so I'm so excited, and now where are the others?"
She said this in about 5 seconds. Wowza. She talked fast.

 I was happy that she was here. But...as she talked for the next 10 minutes {still hugging me all that time}, I was doubtful. She was very assuming, too talkative, and...nevermind. After this photo, she even pulled the white string off my braid, and tied it in her own hair!

She talked waay too fast, and hardly ever considered my opinion. I mean, she was adorable and sweet but...I wasn't too sure that we'd get along too well.

SO SO Sorry!

I'm so terribly sorry that the dolls and I haven't been posting!
I'm a terrible blogger.

Since school is starting in a few minutes, I don't have time to post. :(
But I'll have a new blog design up soon!
