Who Needs a Resolution?


I can't believe that it is already the end of the year, it flew by so fast!  I hate that everyone is crazy about resolutions this time of year, so I resolved that I wasn't going to have any. So today I was enjoying playing with some of my frog collection when I noticed that Kit had walked off and left her shoes. I was quick to scheme when I remembered I had the same pair of shoes in another color.

 I thought it was quite humorous to switch one of her shoes,  but Kit didn't. She threw a big fit and went to complain to MGL. MGL sided with Kit and as my punishment she gave me a pencil and a piece of paper.
 I didn't really understand what the paper was for until MGL started dictating to me. She told me to come up with some resolutions for the new year or she wouldn't let me have my frogs back. I thought that she was being a little harsh, but I got right down to business.
It took me about 10 minutes to come up with a list of few things but I still wasn't satisfied( Who can live without sweets?). I crossed off the things I knew I would never be able to accomplish and added a bit of a note to the one I left. I am pretty confident that I can live with that resolution. I got my frogs back from MGL, but she said that she is still not completely happy with me. I don't though since I get to play with my frogs.  Feel free to come up with some resolutions of your own. (I have no idea why you would want to though.)Have a happy New Year everyone! See you in 2012!

A Very Mickey Christmas

 I just got back a few days ago from Walt Disney World. That's right, I spent a week in a mouse's house. MGL decided to take me along since I like to travel(only because she didn't have to buy me a ticket). I still had fun though-as witnessed by my happy face in the picture above that MGL took at our hotel(Port Orleans).
 This picture is a little blurry but I think that it truly captures what the castle looks like- it made me feel a little fuzzy inside. I wish that I could share with you what MGL's face looked like on Space Mountain, but I can't because then she wouldn't be so mysterious any more.
 We got to spend a lot of time in all the parks, I really liked Hollywood Studios the best I think. Who doesn't like to be on a free-falling elevator?(OK, I admit some don't but I think everyone should give it a try.)
 MGL got me a really nice Minnie Mouse outfit. She claims she felt odd taking this picture in the hotel Lobby, but do I care? Not really, I think I look good in front of this tree.
After days filled being surrounded by tourists, riding roller coasters, and being stared at by small children, I finally collapsed. I think I slept on the entire ride home. Now if you are wondering about my Christmas, well that is private; only Kit, Mini-Grace, and MGL have access to private things. If you want to see  me squeeing over getting some toys you are out of luck.

Paper Trees: a Craft for Dolls

I haven't posted in a long time, but I had a quick and simple Christmas craft to show you.
For this craft you will need-
green construction paper
spangles
1 star shaped spangle
glue
scissors
First you have to cut a triangle out of the green construction paper. The size doesn't really matter, you can make it however small or large you want to.

Next you have to make little glue dots all over the triangle. Be sure to make them pretty evenly spaced apart.
Next press the spangles into the glue dots.
Your tree should look pretty nicely decorated, but it still needs a little something more.
The star spangle should finish off the tree.
I hung my tree above the Kit's table in the doll space.
I am sure you are wondering why Kit's face is on this page. I suppose I could humor you and tell you the reason for her presence- Christmas photos. MGL has kept Kit and I restricted to the doll space for the past week in a Christmas display. I was finally able to break away today after MGL took her share of photos. I didn't like any of the ones taken of me, but somehow Kit got a decent photo in. I leave for Florida in a few days- I need to go pack.
Bye for now!
