Magpies and Contests


Hey! I know the title's weird but it will all make sense in the end (well I hope it does......).

Anyways, Kaya and I have something in common. Something we would rather not say, but yes I will. We are both called magpie, I mean well you may know if you have read Kaya's books. I got my new nickname today. My teacher is going to start calling me Magpie because I talk too much, apparently magpies talk a lot. lol.
And for contests, I just want to let you know- My Contest Ends Tomorrow!. Please have your link to your entries posted in a comment by Wednesday at 5:00 eastern time! Oh an thank you so much Crazy Doll Lady for picking me to win her story contest!

Until Next Time,
Gabby

Savannah's Contest

Hey! I just want to thank all of the people who commented on my post below and entered my contest. Thanks ya'll!

Speaking of contests, here is my entry for Savannah's contest over at Georgia's Life.
Today was a really rainy day (we even have tornado warnings :( ) so I decided to whip out my camera and snap some photos! The theme was "Rainy Days" so Kirsten is set in a fun springy outfit and is reading Meet Rebecca with her Rebecca doll to past the time away.

By the way, do you like my new blog background and header? I wanted to find something a little more springy and I was tired of my blog header, so I changed it to a picture that I took.

Sadness

I am sad. Very sad. So why am I writing in this happy orange color? I don't know. The reason I'm sad is because no one entered my contest that ended today. :-'( However, if some people still want enter it than I can keep it running but for now, the contest has ended.

This is a very short post. But I also have a question for you- what happened to Mia from American Girl Lover? She said her blog was re-opening after not posting for a month but when I look it up I found that the blog was deleted. Hmmmm..... I really did like reading her blog.

Until I'm Happy,
Gabby

Making A Western Outfit........

Hey everybody! I just thought I would post this quick update. I am going to make a western outfit! I haven't exactly started but I'm planning to start tonight. I will use the Liberty Jane t-shirt pattern (probably) and some plaid fabric. Then I will either make or buy some jeans. Do you think I should make them? Or should I order them? Now for the boots. Obviously I'm not experienced enough to make them so I was thinking of ordering them off of Liberty Jane.
But the cost would total up to $19 which would come out of my doll money. Do you think I should order them? Is it worth it? I would really appreciate your comments about Liberty Jane as I really can't decide!

Thanks,
Gabby

PS: I would really liked it if you could check out the doll's new blog- From a Doll's Perspective!

Garage Sale Finds.....

Hey! Today, my sister, mom, and I went to my school's garage sale to raise money for a new gym. I was browsing the toy section and look what I found:

Inside was a complete Girls of Many Lands doll! (only for $5!) For those of you who don't know, GOML Dolls was released in 2002 and retired in 2005. Inside was Cécile Revel! She only had one stocking in the box, or so I thought.......

However, this pictures were taken before I knew that, so you'll see the sock on her head! :-(
She also came with book too! (look for a book review soon!)
I love her shoes!
Do you have any GOML dolls? Where did you get them? Which do you have? I would love to know!
