Wednesday Hodgepodge

I just love how my blog looks, so I feel the urge to post everyday! Don't worry, I'll save you from that. ;)

1.  ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?  The NFL is back in action along with all the college teams.  Are you a fan?  Who do you root for?  If you're not a fan what do you do while the rest of America watches Saturday, Sunday, Monday night, and now Thursday night games?


I'm not a football fan. I root for the Stealers {I don't even know how to spell their name . . . is it the Steelers?}, but silently, and mentally in my head. I don't even watch their games {I know, I sound like a sad little loser. I'm sorry}.

2. What's something I'll always find in your closet?


Clothes {;)}, shoes, and bed sheets / blankets.


3. Share one of your earliest memories.


Whenever is was one of my family member's birthday, my grandmother would bring us brown bags with little gifts in them, even if it wasn't our birthday. :) She stopped doing it now, but we have grown up, after all.

4. What circus act best describes your week so far?


Whatever the circus gymnasts do. Sadly, I've never been to a circus.

5. What's a food you disliked as a child but you love now?


Green beans and zucchini. I had Farmer's Market green beans this afternoon, and they were lovely. Surprisingly, they tasted like potatoes.

6.  Describe your summer in three words.


Lazy. Boring. Energetic {I did summer ballet}

7.  Where were you on September 11, 2001? Will you do anything special to mark the day this year?


I don't know. I was JUST born then. I was probably sleeping. Or eating. Or anything other babies do.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

I have decided I want to move to London, England, when I'm 21 {maybe older}. Okay, gals, I'm serious about this. I already have a plan to save all my money, put it in my bank account {as so I can't spend it on clothes, speaking about that, I bought a charming tea and cookie ring from Etsy today. I'll post about that when it arrives}, and then when I'm old enough go and live in the ''wild''! Doesn't it sound exciting?!

P.S. I sold my Rebecca AG doll yesterday! I shipped her today. Any time now I should have more AG listings up. :)

AG post {Things I plan on selling}

I plan on selling these on Ebay, because I think it's a more likely place than Amazon. I'll update with listings when/if I put them up. :)

 Bitty Baby. Close Cropped blonde hair, blue eyes. I think his/her eyelashes are pretty short, as well. Since I've had him for a long time, his vinyl parts are slightly dirty. Nothing a good wash won't fix, though, so I might be doing that later. :p :)

 Molly. Her hair is in good condition. It's smooth, just it has that layer of frizz covering. The ends are frizzy, as well. Her eyelashes are long, plus her strings. No big marks on her vinyl parts, but I can't remember all that well. All marks will be posted on Ebay.

 She comes with her white thingy, sweater, skirt, and both shoes. All of those are from AG.

 Rebecca. Like I said with Molly, her hair is smooth but it has a layer of frizz covering it, so it's hard to tell. She has a blue mark on her ankle {or near}. Any other marks will be posted on Ebay. Her eyelashes are long, plus her strings.

 She comes with her dress, tights, underwear, and boots.

 One golden button is missing from her dress.

 Felicity! I'm pairing her off with some dresses {Two from AG}, so I can sell her for more. ;)

 Her eyelashes are short, but her hair is in amazing condition. Since she got a new head, it's rather loose. Her strings are long. All marks will be posted on Ebay with her listing.

 Her meet dress is from AG. {Click to see the tag.}

 She will also come with two home-made, sewing-machine sewn dresses I bought.

 And her riding outfit. Both pieces are from AG. Click to enlarge.

 Bitty Baby 'Princess Outfit'. I'm pretty sure it's retired. I'll double check that later.

 Bitty Baby meet outfit. This has been retired. All Bitty Baby outfits fit AGs.

 This was home-made, and sewing-machine sewn. I bought it earlier.

 Same thing as above. :)

 The McKenna exclusive outfit! It is fairly new, and has barely been played with. It comes complete, even with the box. I plan on selling it for the price of a normal AG outfit, $28 {or at least start the bidding there.... ;)}.

 It is from AG.

 Some sort of Bitty outfit. :) I think this has been retired.

 Sweater, BB.

 The Almost complete 'flower outfit' or something like that for Bitties. All that it is missing is the note bookthingy, and the Bitty Bear Tutu. It's from AG.

 Half Completed outfit, it's from Ag.

 Homemade, sewing-machine jeans. It was not made by me.-

Rebecca's hat and shawl.

What do you think? Does anything tickle your fancy? ;) ASAP, I'll have the listings up. :)

P.S. Want to know what's happening to the other dolls?
I am keeping Kit, Katie, and Kanani for normal play. The nicer Bitty and Samantha are staying on my dresser, as a family pass-on {hopefully} one day. I am returning Ivy, and I plan to sell Kenna in a year or so for about $150. :)

Can you Smell Me?

// Inspired to go to BBW by this post {and made happy/sad by it - I'm an only girl} //
// Stinkin' up the world with love, one sniff at a time //

 Okay, on a first note:
Sorry for the blurry photos. Peace. I use my mom's iPad.

I got a few things from BBW last Saturday! They have a buy 2 get one 1 free sale/thingy going on now, so that was my opportunity.
The first ''thing'' is Midnight Pomegranate body lotion. For all ye people going ''sheesh'' at me, at least I didn't get ''Dark Kiss''. :p
I really like this! It's spicy and fruity, two of my favorite things. And besides, I'm happy to add to my {EX-}only Sugar Pea collection.

 I was getting tired of smelling like Sugar Peas {I have the shimmer mist}, and since Paris is well... ya know.... fascinating I went for it! Out of all three, this one smells the best. It's a limited collection, so buy now, girls! ;)
The Sweet on Paris body lotion smelled wonderful, so I'll have to get that next time....

If you're wondering, ''where's the third item?'' my mom was out of shampoo, so she got a bottle and reduced my cost by $11. :)
But anyway, it's amazing how the smell stays on almost forever! {So hopefully I like it forever, cuz' those things are HUGE}
~Madeline
P.S. I'm too tired to add my siggy... I have yet to make it just ''be'' there. :p
P.S.S. This was scheduled... I was bored. ;)
P.P.P.S. For those of you who are interested I'm adding an AG post only part soon of what I plan to sell. I know not all of my followers followed me for the AG part of my blog, so that's why it's separate. ;)

hey you. yeah, you.

{Look at me, going all 'offical' and not capitalizing my words and adding periods! ;)}
Last Saturday was the end of 6 weeks. And if you know what that means....

Then you know this..

 The package finally arrived! What was in it, you ask???

 {My ears grew bigger over the course of six weeks ;)}

 Some pearl earrings! Yes, it has been six weeks! Woot hoo! I've only tried gold earrings and these have some sort of special backs, so they won't kill my ears. I plan on going to Claire's and getting some normal, cute {cheap!} earrings, and testing them out. They also gave me coupons {when I got my ears pierced-- got to Claire's!}, so that's a bonus! :)

P.S. Update on the little boy:
He's okay. He tends to make chocolate out of honey {a.k.a. drama queen}, so I should of noticed. The guilt has vanished. I put his arm holder thingy on {he took it off} and declared I was ''injured. Give me a cookie,''. BTW, I didn't get a cookie. :P

Soup The Day!

Believe me, I laughed at myself, too!

 While I was enjoying my soup, I realized fall and winter are coming on fast. Also known as the soup seasons {yeah, I did make that up.}.
I love trying different soups, and finding my favorites for The Soup Seasons {I don't really have any...}. Thus, I bring to you...

Soup The Day!

Every month or week {I haven't decided yet} I'll try another soup. Sometimes they'll be homemade, sometimes bought. I'll rate it, saving you the trouble of trying it out {and perhaps not liking it} without knowing. 

THE SOUP BRAND: Progresso

SOUP NAME: Chicken Cheese Enchilada

WHAT'S IN IT {MAIN}: Chicken broth, cooked white chicken meat, tomatoes, celery, onions, cream cheese. 

WHAT I SUGGEST WITH IT: I had tortilla chips with it. Any Mexican side dish should be good, too.

HOW I HEATED IT: I used a microwave. I would suggest using a stove, though, because I like meat that feels cooked.

THOUGHTS: The soup was very thin {I like thicker, almost stew-like soups}. The chicken flavor wasn't strong at all.

RATE: I give it 2 stars. It was OK, but I wouldn't have it again.

What are your thoughts on Soup The Day!? Should I keep on doing it?

Happy Late Easter :'(

Happy late Easter....
Yes, you can tell from the sad face that I am bummed. Hince why this post is late. Easter was beautiful, Church wonderful, and friends awesome. So why was this post late?
First of all, we went to my Grammie's and Granddaddy's house for Easter (Yes, they live in VA.) We stayed their until about 7:44, not leaving much time to post. However I had set my mind to posting, so I got supplies to take a picture of Ivy and some Easter candy. Until I noticed I had forgotten to get a cord to attach my mom's iPad (what I take pictures with) to the family Mac Book Air. That I had left in my dad's office, which was off-limits because my little brother made a mess in it. My dad would not let me get, nor would he get it, so I took the picture anyway (because Ivy was ready). And so I posted this post tomorrow, A.K.A. today.  And that is my post of sadness. *Carry on now with your chocolatey smiles and Easter baskets full of candy*
HAPPY EASTER!!!!!
*Insert late picture here*

Ivy and the rest wish you a very merry berry Easter!!!!
