A Teenager's Dollhouse

Woah! It's been like what, TWO WEEKS??!?!?!?! you can blame camp for that, lol. Enjoy the photos! 

I was working on some indoor photography, but then I had the genius idea of taking Kanani to the window! I'm happy with the results. What did you like better, the indoor photos or the ones at the window? I liked both. The indoor ones are some of the best indoor photos I've ever taken, but I love the window ones where you can see my camera. 

Doll: Kanani GOTY 2011

So ya, there is a wild Bear loose in camp DD. (or at least in our neck of the woods) Which means all campers must stay indoors. Good. IT IS SO HOT. 

Anywho, today was crafting/rehearsal day for everyone. All the dolls were either in their cabins, the art room, or the rec room.

If you didn't know, the Deer Den is doing a puppet show. Saige gave us this GIANT box to make a theater out of...right now Lindsey and I are just trying to see where to cut first!

"This side?" Lindsey asked. 

"hmm...maybe.."

Being the best artist out of us three, Lanie started to draw the puppets! We don't have a desk so we had to convert our nightstand to suit her needs. c:

"Okay, this side." I said. Then I started to cut after twenty minutes of looking at box. I might of went a little crazy with the scissors too...

Caroline and a lot of the counselors are dealing with the bear issue right now, so some other dolls (like the assistant cooks, craft cabin assistants, etc.) are in charge of campers. We get Katie Liv, one of the assistant nursers. 

"Oooh. You shouldn't of cut there!" Katie is very judgemental. 

"Ta-da! What do you think?" I asked Lindsey and Katie. 

"Uhhhh...."

Well, I still have a lot of work to do, ttyl!

After breakfast, the campers were told to say in their cabins until their counselor came and got them. The Deer Den is buzzing with excitement right now. Everyone's curious about what we're going to do! The theme for this week hasn't been revealed yet. 

After about forever and a day, Caroline walked in. "Hi girls! Sorry I'm late. Today, I'll be showing you a new area in Camp DD...the rec room!" We all followed Caroline into the hall. 

When we got into the rec room we saw some dolls playing games. Caroline said that the rec room is always open to play games, chat, and sometimes activities happen here if it's raining. 

Caroline had to go..something about an 'emergency counselor meeting' because there might be a bear in the forest. She said all we need to know is in the rec room, and we can either hang out here or go back to the cabin until lunch. 

I immediately saw what we need to know!

"What's this?" Zoe asked.

"Oooh!" Lindsey squealed, "This week's theme is Take a Bow! We're doing a recital!" 

"And we have to choose an act..." I said.

We went back to the cabin 'cos we didn't want the other dolls to steal our recital ideas. 

"So what do you want to do?" I started the conversation. 

Everyone thought for a moment. "I don't know. I could do gymnastics but I don't know what you and Lindsey could do." Zoe said. 

"We could do a play?" I suggested. "Zoe you love writing- you could write it! I love to preform to!" 

"Well, I don't love to preform! I have massive stage fright!" Lindsey added. 

"But a play is a good idea...maybe if we did a play without showing our faces? But how could we do that...." Zoe sighed. 

"Hmmm..."

Lindsey gasped. "I know! I know! We could do a puppet show!!"

"That's a great idea!" I exclaimed.

Zoe nodded eagerly. 

"All in favor of doing a puppet show put your hands in!" 

Hello, everyone! The time has come to start the second annual Days of Fabulous! This year, it's going to be Fabulous ALL SUMMER LONG! Every Saturday and Sunday is a new post from either me, Abgaile, or a guest post. 

So let's begin! 

When we first announced the 1 Summer of Fabulous, we got lots of requests to do OOTW! If you're not familiar with these, an OOTW is Outfit of the Week. At Sweet Nokia Street, our OOTW pictures are also unedited. 

So, why not start with tips on doing an OOTW? We've seen many similar posts, but ours was the first! 

I think the first 'step' is to find an easy bokeh spot. We use this tree. Sometimes it looks good, others...not so much. ;)

You also need to move around. Don't limit yourself to one area to take photos. Like, here we are at another tree! 

Try lots of different angles for one photo, we like this one much better then the photo above it. All we did was move the camera angle! 

This tree is also a great spot to hit solar flares. We really like solar flares most of time, try to get one of your own! 

Weird angles sometimes look really creative. ;) 

A wood fence acts a great neutral background. 

Try and get creative with some of your photos! We used dead flowers as a prop.
