A Teenager's Dollhouse

I don't really understand why we were given this, because we (I am speaking on behalf of all my dolls), are anything but elegant. Um, excuse me, I was not included in that vote! Right..so Mia here is going to be helping out a little with this! 

Thanks so much Claire from Hello Little Birdy and beastsbelle from Never Grow Up for awarding us. The award orginiated here. 

Yep! Today's the day! It's my sweet Lanie's third birthday! Can you believe it? Before we celebrate, Molly's birthday WILL BE UP THIS WEEKEND! There were so many photos, it took a while to organize it all. 

Okay, now back to Lanie's birthday! I have a lot of memories with this girl! She's the first ever doll I saved up for! Actually, one of the first things I've ever saved for! I remember the day I got her, I saved up SOOOO much money for! 99 bucks! (do you remember those days? Now it's 110$!) and, it was the first week of school, I finally had the money for her, and my mom and I planned on placing the order later that week. So, somewhere around today's date (August 29th) my mom was working late, so my grandmother came to pick me up from school. 

I opened the door, and there she was. 

In the box, waiting for me. I started at her through the window, and when we got to my house, 

my grandmother forgot the key....

Yikes! 

So, we were able to get into the backyard, and my dog was going crazy from inside, we had a little patio swing then, and I sat there with my grandmother next to me, crying, opening her. 

She was an early birthday present. 

When I first saw Lanie in the catalog, I knew I had to have her. She was unique, original, something I've never seen before. 

I loved it. 

Then, on my actual birthday, I got her accesories, her PJ's, her PJ's for ME (which surprisingly, still fit!) and her Nature outfit, and her nature accessories, and her hammock! Talk about a Lanie birthday! 

So, now, a flashback! 

Here are my favorite photos of Lanie; 

And there are so many more...just trapped on my phone! ;)  (from Instagram, I only use a camera now!) 

I'm going to a celebratory post with like cake and such, but that will come this weekend....

Anyways, a new tradition starting here! On Molly's b-day, I gave her a photoshoot, wearing Chrissa's Sundress..and Lanie did one too earlier! 

So, here is Lanie's Birthday Photoshoot! (un-edited) 

Happy 3 year birthday to my sweet, daring, adventurous girl! 

And, here is Lanie's profile, so you can get to know her better! 

Hi, my name is Lanie, I have a bunny rabbit named Lulu, I like exploring, and reading! Science is my favorite subject, and I post in green! I love Nutella!!!

Hiii! I'm so excited to be able to share me first ever tutorial! So I (and mommy) have recently become OBSESSED with Pirates of the Caribbean. See that red hat type thang Jack Sparrow aka Johnny Depp is wearing? Well...

For this project, you are going to need your doll (how much would you pay for that lace tank I'm wearing? ) a red sock, and scissors. 

Our sock is from Virgin International Airlines. Momma's papa loooves these socks, because he (like momma) is very picky about there socks! So, as you can see, this one has had much love and is ready to be re-used! 

We cut as closest to the hole with cutting the hole, as possible. 

A little big...

So, we cut off some more, 

Much better! Jack's hat is more of a tie-headband, but we like the beanie look! With the leftover sock, we cut a long strip and tied it around out head! Silly me took no pictures! 

Have a nice day! :D

First off, is this back to school letter! :) 

The supply list, and, I am working on a new series (hint hint) and everything on that list, we shall make! :D

Class Schedule #1 I actually made this with my schedule! So, umm yeah! Those are my classes! The times are also roughly accurate, I do start at 8:45, have lunch at 1:30 (ugg) and the final bell is at 4:30, but the others are made up. ;0) And of course, those teachers aren't mine either. 

Here is Schedule #2. I WISH I had Science with Peeta Mellark as my teacher. *sigh* and of course, History with Ky. *sigh* 

Here is a blank Cafeteria Menu. I left it blank, so you can write whatever you want! I wasn't sure if everyone would appreciate "Red Glop" Blue Glop" Green Glop" as the menu choices. 

Here's a fun little corkboard too! :) There is plenty of space to add more things if you want also! 

Here's a little chalkboard with some writing on it...

and here's a blank one! 

So, the locker sheets turned out HUGE! Ugg...but, here is one,

and here is another! 

Here's a sheet of notebook paper that somebody has written on, 

and here's a blank one! 

Enjoy the printables!

It was a really boring day in the dollhouse today. And, it was raining. So, we couldn't go outside! Bummer. 

Momma agreed to let Kanani and play with the scooters in the loft upstairs. Kanani is teaching me to get really good with the scooter! So, we went to the garage to get our scooters. 

I pulled out my green and pink one! 

I can't wait to start riding! 

Kanani got her white and pink one! 

Lanie, because you are more inexperienced

, and there is only one helmet, you have to wear it. Okay? 

Okay! 

Are you ready? 

I am now! 

So am I . 

I'm so excited! 

Let me pull ahead of you...

Okay Lanie, today try to keep the moped at a steady speed. Go to the wall! 

And we were off! Kanani and I were a bit close, so..

I moved closer to the staircase. 

Lanie, be careful! 

Too close to the staircase. 

I fell down...

And down. 

Lanie! 

I was laying there, while Kanani hoped down the staircase. 

Errr almost there! 

Just as Kanani was getting close...

the seat belt came undone! 

I tumbled down some more stairs...

and some more...

Lanie! Lanie! Are you OK? 

Ow. 

Come on! Get up! 

I then woke up in a hospital room with a nurse beside me. 

So! Lanie how ya feeling? 

Errrr....

I'm Nurse Katie Liv. 

Okie dokie. 

So...

Uhh...can I go home? 

As soon as you learn how to use your wheelchair and crutches.

Kaite grabbed the crutches, and showed me how to use the wheelchair. 

This is the brake, 

I finally got it! 

Now can I go home? 

We went back to the room and I fell asleep. 

Next thing I knew, Pepper woke me up giving get well wishes. 

Well! Looks like I'll be in a cast for four weeks then. :(
