ADAW 2016 - 6/52

Sweet, sweet Nevaeh! 

I think I'll post at least one picture of each one of my dolls during this photo challenge. It's been a LONG time since some of them have seen the front of my camera lens. This may help me decide if I want to keep Haven (fka Rebecca) or find her a new home.

Happy Easter everyone, may you have an AMAZING day! 

Spring is definitely here in California and I find myself taking photos in the early evening because I feel the lighting is just right. Talk about the perfect "golden hour".

ADAW 2016 - 4/52

Happy 1st Day of Spring everyone! Please welcome Meadow (formerly known as Girl of the Year 2016, Lea Clark), the newest girl to join our family. This beautiful girl arrived on 3/04/16 and she's even more beautiful in person. Here hair is sooo silky soft and her complexion paired with her eyes and hair color are perfection. I will admit I'm a little scared of the whole zip ties instead of strings but I'm so happy she's here and I'm finally able to share her. (^_^)

Spring has arrived here in Southern California! I absolutely love this time of year. The days get longer and warmer. I hope to break out my sewing machine and create some new clothes for my girls because they could use a wardrobe update. (^_^)

On another note, I'm thinking about FINALLY posting videos on my YouTube channel but not sure what to post. LOL I've never done stop motion but I'd like to give it a try and create photoshoots to post. I don't know. Haha What do you like to watch on YouTube? Any suggestions?

Saleen got to play in the rain this morning. It very rarely rains here, so I took her out and captured the moment. (^_^)

Update: The new girls arrived on Thursday and my new girl is amazing! I haven't taken her out of her box yet because we are renovating our bedroom and I would be sad if something happened to her BUT one of them found a new home. I gave my mom her very 1st American Girl Doll as a "Just Because I Love You" gift. It was amazing to see her happiness and surprise when she realized the doll was for her. My mom had been sick for a week and I felt a little AG cheer would perk her right up. She laid in bed with her and they watched t.v. together ALL DAY. My Dad told me when he got home they were "asleep". Oh, the third doll is my 9yo daughter's new #44, which she was SUPER excited! So three generations of doll lovers! Priceless!!!

Saleen is ready to take photos of the new girls this week. 

I hope you didn't think my explanation/update post was going to be the only post for today. 

Say Cheese!

Hey everyone! I'm back... again. LOL

Let me just say, I adore GOTY 2016 Lea Clark's camera! I thought I was going to purchase her accessories when I bought the doll BUT after watching quite a few YouTube review videos on her accessories, I decided I'd just buy the camera if I came across one at a decent price since that's all I wanted anyway. I'm happy to say I was able to find one and I snapped it right up! (^_^) 

I must admit when I first took it out of the package I was confused on how it was suppose to fit around the dolls head until I realized the strap detaches. LOL I do like how they are able to hold the camera without the straps too. 

Doesn't Saleen look like a budding photographer? I think she's happy to finally have her own camera. She'll be able to put it to good use later this week. We will be welcoming 2 new girls to our family and they should be arriving by Thursday (according to their tracking information). I think they'll be here sooner. You already know 1 of the girls but the other is going to be a total surprise. (^_^) I already have their names chosen... I think. LOL

Oh yeah, from now on posts will be on Sundays. Since I have failed miserably at my ADAD attempt this time around because I'm not finding the time, I've come to the conclusion ADAW will be easier for me to do. I'll post photos and/or any other updates on a weekly basis to see how that works out. 

I want to take this time to thank everyone for stopping by and reading my blog. I really appreciate and it means a lot to me.
