Siggy Test and Estate Sale Finds

Hello! Well, it appears that my HTML code worked out good. :)
So! Mama went to an estate sale a while back, and she asked ME to post them! Yay!

This pin is really pretty.

It's a little golden rose. Mama says it's only costume jewelry, but if I wore it, I'd feel like a queen! I believe it was $5?!

d'Awwww, Mama got a basket for us! She has this weird thing for baskets. And it was free! We love to use it as a catch-all. 

This is Mama's. It's her catch all. :) It's a lovely {heavy!} glass bowl, only a dollar and fifty cents.

Sweater! 

Gray. :) It matches our weather right now.

Mama says she might use this 1 dollar shirt for clothes for us! How nice of her.

*gasp* I adore this necklace. Too bad it's too big for doll necks. ;O

Mama loves it too. :) But it's Nanay's necklace.

Pretty!!! Yet again, costume jewelry. :)

Below is my siggy. I think it worked!! Ha ha, enjoy your day!

Arizona's Zone: Why not? Part 9 and Part 10

{Woah, sorry it's been a while! I completely forgot about it. Still, it's good to know that people read my poor series. :)}
{And guess what? I'm putting TWO parts instead of just one.}

PART 9

It had been a week since seeing Ms. Jordyn. Every day, I had sent Grace or Natalie to bring food to Willow. I was too ashamed to show my face to the little girl I let down.


"You know what?" A voice snapped. To my great surprise, Natalie stood in front of me. "You need to snap out of it. You can't change what happened." I knew she was right, but I wouldn't admit it.


She sat down next to me, and wrapped her arms around me. "Ari, it wasn't your fault. A week, you've hidden in here. The girls in the gardening club and the author's group have missed you so much."


I didn't respond. "Arizona. Willow is so depressed. Arizona! She thinks it's because she did something that you're staying away."


I turned to look at her. "Tomorrow afternoon, after the club and the group. Tomorrow I will see her." Natalie smiled warmly. I smiled back.


I sighed in relief as the bell rang and glanced at my schedule.

8-8:30 Bible Group

8:35-9:15 Grammar

9:20-10 Science

10:05-10:50 History/Lit

Fifteen Minute Break!

11:05-11:45 Government/Economics

11:50-12:30 Lunch

12:35-1:10 Health

 1:15-2 Math

I had survived my school day...and math! Yuck. I stuffed my things in my locker quickly before running off to the Gardening Club. On the way there, I noticed Jubilee and Ivy running together to their Photographers Guild {just a homey studio created by the girls at the school} I laughed. The two BFFs {and my sisters!!} made quiet a cute picture.

I only vaguely remembered our activities. We planted some crocuses outside our dorm rooms, and Elizabeth gave us some exotic succulents from her extensive collection. I remember discussing plant names, and nothing more.

I was about to head to the Lake when I remembered the Authors Group! Meep. I darted off just in time for the gathering. We wrote some stories and exchanged books. By that time, I was almost too excited to stay in my seat!

As soon as the group ended, I rushed out to the Lake. "Willow!" I cried. Nothing. I scoured the banks of the Lake. Aside from some food crumbs, I found nothing.

I tried searching the woods. I wore my voice out yelling. Willow was not to be found. I stumbled to the meadows by the Lake. It started to rain. "Willow's gone, and it's all my fault," I cried.

The rain bore down heavier and heavier. Still, I stayed out, calling for my dear friend. My limp hair was soaked. My clothes were drenched. I shivered as my clothes started to freeze around me. November weather wasn't conducive to staying cozy in one's clothes.

I remember growing light headed. I ignored the sensation, and pressed on. Then, the world started to spin. My vision started to gray from the outer edges in. The blood drained from my head, and I collapsed.

PART 10

"Ari! Oh Arizona!!" I heard a voice. I slowly opened my eyes. There was Grace. Her unseeing eyes were scary to me. "I'm okay," I murmured.

I looked around. I was still laying on the grass outside! "Natalie spotted you, and has gone for help." The sky was clear, and it was freezing. There was frost on the ground, and frost on myself.

"Tell me all," I said, and closed my eyes again. "Well, last night, you didn't come back to the dorm--"

"Last night?" I cried. "Let me finish!"

"We thought that you might've gone home. Then, this morning, you weren't at the Sunrise overlook. So, we searched for you. Natalie found you. She thinks you might have 1st degree hypothermia. Do you feel very cold?"

"Not very cold...just a touch. Actually, sometimes I feel warm." I said. Grace nodded. "She's right. Anyway, it's 7:30 in the morning, and 40 degrees F."


I nodded slowly. "Willow is gone," I whispered. Grace heard. She combed her fingers through her silky brown hair. "She was getting sad that you didn't want to see her anymore. I guess she decided to move."


A tear rolled down my face, and I sighed. 

~~~

After that, Natalie came with some paramedics who took me to the hospital. They gave me an IV, and a nasty cocktail of medicine. Yuck.

Then, after all that icky stuff, Natalie, Grace, and Joy walked in. They weren't smiling. "Willow was reported being seen going into a fast food place. She never came out."

J.J. comes over

Yes, I realize that there has been a terrible lack of posts. But you know the holidays. Even a doll has to prepare for Thanksgiving. Mama is visiting relatives for a big feast. Us doll sisters just can't sit around on the big day! At the end of this post is a plan that all of us decided on. But for now, here's some pictures!

One of Mama's besties, J.J. came over not too long ago. And she brought all the Gold Valley Dolls! 

Arizona here! May I introduce...

Stephanie Antoinette!!

*applauds*

Stephanie is a new arrival from France. Luckily for us, she speaks a fair amount of English. Every week we talk to her, the more she improves in her speech and grammar. Jubilee and I have been helping her. She's very nice, and even Ivy loves her.

Oh, you be quiet! Ivy again. That's enough for Ari anyway. ;) My blog anyhow.

 New faces, and old friends. Here's the well loved Sunny. She's been going over fashion changes. Her vest looks rather cute, but I'm not quite sure what to think of the green eyebrows.


I like them.


Of course you do! You'd be rainbow colored if you could help it. :)

 Isn't Jubilee so chic?
My sister is a pro at fashion.
Yes, and she always looks adorable. She went preppy that day. Elizabeth went casual in softly worn denim.
:D

Ari and Joy!
Meeeeeeee!!!!!!
YES YOU!!!
Can you see a the pic of Elliebob on the bulletin board? In case you were wondering, the photo next to that is not Mama. :)

 I don't really know why this is here. I love Mama's camera's macro setting. :D

I'm not even sure if my blog posts are interesting anymore so...
SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
Tell me what you'd like to see, and I'll try and do it. :)


So! Let's get to the Thanksgiving plans.

Mama leaves.

Start cooking Thanksgiving feast!

Play in some leaves outside

Have a mini dance party.

Eat Thanksgiving feast! YUM!

Watch a movie while falling asleep

Get up and rampage the living room.

I don't know about you, but it sounds fun to us. XD

Don't forget! Suggestions for this blog. :) Anything! :D

The Brightest Flowers You've ever Seen {and rain rain rain}

Our geraniums are loving it! I've never seen our flowers this bright. Keep in mind, these are not edited.

I know, right? It almost hurts the eyes!
And today, Arizona and I made up a little poem to the chant of "Rain Rain Go Away"

Rain, rain, come and play

Come and play with me all day

LOL. Gotta love Arizona!

Also, sneak peek!!

Bedroom Redo

This photo is of Jubi and Marie's REMODELED Bedroom!

Yes, those white pillars are the legs of Mama's desk. :) 

We're all remodeling! We can't wait to show you!

Especially now that Ari, Joy, and I share a room.

Come back soon to see the final results!

Little Avatar and Something New

Isn't she adorable? I made her with my friend yesterday. :)

Well, the something new is...

We've been learning about HTML!

We know how to put up images in a JavaScript gadget, format signatures into our posts, and create drop down menu boxes!

Yeah, pretty much pointless post. ^-^

Still, I don't want to send you away without photos! So here you go...

Winterberry! My awesome, incredibly cute, super puppy!

Yes, I love my pup.

Rainbow! {if you can see it}

Little sis Noni {Naomi} calls them "Rainy Bows"

 Mama's awesome succulent dish. Doesn't look like that anymore though...I think because winter's coming.

 I think we named this plant "Nonay"

 The fuzzy plant is "Chia" That's not the name of a variety, but the name that Mama gave it. :)

"Heartit" is this plant's' name. Sadly, Heartit is losing its leaves. Wah!

Well, the Rose Hollow Dolls have to sign off now. Be seeing you real soon!

Grrr

I'm so upset with Spicemuffin, AKA my mama.

Do you know what she means to do?

She wants to change the whole plot of our lives!!

She wants to make us all adoptive sisters! I am so. Angry.

It's not that I don't like the other girls, it's just that we originally were adoptive sisters before she threw us into different families!
Now that we've finally adjusted, she's changing us back. How frustrating.

Nothin' I can do about it though. She's waay taller than I am after all.


~IVY~

Please forgive Spicemuffin

Hello, it's the Rose Hollow Dolls all assembled on the computer! LOL. ;)

Ivy here in red. :)
Arizona {i have to pick one color?!} in green.
Joyce in blue!
Fidelia in dark yellow!!!
Jubilee in purple. <3
Marie in a light purple!




I believe we are all here?


Except Naomi and Peace of course.


Then, yes, we are all here.


So, we want to apologize for our dearest guardian and friend, Spicemuffin.


You see, Mama has been well. . . very busy!


Isn't she knitting the giveaway present?


HUSH!


That, and she's been dancing and practicing gymnasticisms!


You mean gymnastics?


Yeah, that.


Yes, well, we'd like to say she is almost done with the giveaway present. 


So please forgive Spicemuffin. She is very sorry for not posting.


Since it's no good keeping a secret, YES, we're having a giveaway. We're giving away a pair of fingerless gloves for dolls just like us! In case you're wondering, there'll be other *mystery* items to be given away. Excited? We hope so. You **MAY** even get a hand-drawn picture from Spicemuffin. That's a huge maybe. Considering she's so busy.


I CAN'T WAIT! That'll mean pictures of the giveaway items, and Spice will need models, won't she? I'll be a real live model! How cool!


Um, yeah, I guess you would! So yeah, Spice WILL be done soon, no worries. :)




We'll be seeing you soon!
