I'M COMING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!

GUYS I'M COMING TO AMERICA!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh I'm am actually so excited I might pee my pants.. Ok thats weird but you lot have no idea how pumped I am for this trip! I should probably start from the beginning so you all can understand what on earth is going on :) 

If you hadn't noticed, I don't live in the USA. I live in a small country in the corner of the world called New Zealand. 

Ever since I discovered American Girl dolls I have loved the US. Everything from being so patriotic to listening to people with really weird accents. No offence! You should hear a kiwi's accent..Ew. so anyway! Over the years this passion for the states has grown into an obsession! I have so so so so wanted to go!! Just thinking about going brings tears to my eyes, that just explains how weird I am 

>.< Well, earlier this year my parents sprung it on me that in October we would, as a family go over to the USA FOR A HOLIDAY! I literally burst out crying, my dad has video proof. So we are coming over to celebrate my parents like something wedding anniversary and to visit their friends from childhood! (Something along those lines, i'm not totally sure but you get the gist!) 

Now here is where I need your guys help! If you live in the US along the east coast cos that's where we are going. What are some fun things/ cool touristy things that we should do? I am so excited to visit a Toys R Us and a target. You have no idea how big my shopping list is. I'm also so excited to visit my first American Girl Place! I may even be bringing a special someone home... I'm not gonna tell you guys, it's gonna be a SURPRISE!! Mwa ha ha ha I'm so evil :) 

I've been wanted to share this with you awesome people for so long but i decided to wait until closer to the time. And it's actually made the wait more exciting! So I'll fill you lot in on more details nearer to our leaving date! But for now, I'M COMING TO AMERICA!!!!! AHHHH I might cry again.. Oh no.

talk soon lovelies :-*

When I try and edit photos.. O_o

Hello my lovelies! No I haven't died, I just haven't been able to post as often :) I have moved bedrooms. I used to be on the top floor of my house but I swapped with my sister so I could have more space and a wall that I can use for indoor photography! *confetti* I'm so pumped! I also am trying out different editing apps to edit my pictures and make them look lovely :) So as the title of this post hints, I did my first attempt of editing some pics i took in my new room ^.^ There's only 2 but it's better than nothing right?! I don't actually know how to use the editing software (it's called lightroom) so I was just mucking around with scroll bars =) 

Do you guys like Casaleah's dress? I made it from an old dress I bought from a thrift store. I LOVE the pattern, feels very SPRING! Perfect for this time of year, well for me anyway :P 

I hope you all have a fabulous rest of your day!

A Porcelain Adventure (Part 2)

Hi guys! So if you read my last Porcelain Adventure you will know that I purchased 2 dolls, here is the second one :) I've lost the 'before' pictures but I basically did the same thing that I did with Genevieve. I just re-curled her hair :) Her she is! I think her name is gonna be Sammy :)

She still has a few fly aways but it's definitely much better than she was before O_o 

Isn't her dress just darling?!

Have a great rest of your day :-*
