Christmas Puppy

 

*strolling along*

 

*sniff sniff*

 

Hey....what's that on my tail!?


(Just a little post to let you guys know we're still here! Happy belated Thanksgiving to all. Thanksgiving happened to land on Pastel's birthday this year, so I have a lot of making up to do for her. Hopefully things will calm down soon and the dolls can go back to having their regular fun!)



The Storm

Come out, come out,
My little fae

The storm has passed
It's gone away

Come out, come out
And see the sun

The rain is gone
Let's have some fun!

Moving

Last week was crazy!

I know it looks like I'm in an episode of Hoarders, but actually I am helping The Keeper move.
She had been trying to sell her house for a year, and last week it finally sold.

As you can see, there was tons to do...which is why even I was recruited.

Thank goodness we had tons of boxes! The Keeper and her husband have WAY too much stuff!

I decided to take a break in my favorite room in the house.
The Keeper had the hardest time saying goodbye to this room.
She got teary eyed every time she came in here.

This room was her son's nursery.
She and her husband spent many hours painting a mural in here for him. It turned out pretty awesome.

This is just one little glimpse of the room. The mural covered all four walls.
They always knew they'd have to say goodbye to it, but it was still pretty hard.

The Keeper keeps telling me selling the house is a positive thing, but I get the feeling she's just trying to convince herself every time she says it.
I mean, if it was so positive, why did she shed so many tears?

Anyway, I'm just glad she let me come along to lift her spirits.
I'm happy to report it's been a few days and she's feeling much better about it now.
She promises me that this is a sign that better things are coming.

I know one thing...I hope we don't have to move again for awhile. That was HARD work.

Finding the Perfect Tree

Hurry up, Bea! I want to pick out the perfect Christmas tree!

Hmph. I'm cold.

If you'd worn a jacket like I told you to, you wouldn't have that problem.

I choose this tree. It's by far the best one out here. I must have the best tree.

Um, Bea...? Don't you think this tree is a bit...well...

...big? We'd never be able to fit it into the house, let alone our room!

Whatever. You pick your own silly tree then.

This one looks more like our size!

Pastel, that thing is no more than a glorified twig.

Hmm. I suppose you're right.

Let's see if there's something else out here...

Will you hurry up!? I'm cold...and I'm tired...and I'm hungry. I want to go home!

Uggghh. That's it. I'm getting a fake tree.

A New Job

Hi guys!

First of all, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes.
It meant a lot to me.
My friends all surprised me with a party...it feels pretty good to know I'm loved.
I can't wait to share the awesome present The Keeper and Scribble got for me.
I still haven't taken pictures of it yet...I know, I know...I'm way too lazy.

I'm really sorry I've been in such a funk lately.
The Keeper and Scribble finally opened their online shop and they've been working nonstop on it ever since.
I guess I was starting to feel a little left out.
Scribble had a talk with The Keeper for me though.
They decided I needed a job...so you're now looking at the new Photography Assistant of Scribble Dolls.

I get to pick the perfect spot for photographing the dolls.
(Yes, I am walking around barefoot in the cold. That's just the way I roll.)

I have to make sure their hair is all in place.
They have to look just perfect for the photos!

But my favorite part of the job...?

I get to spend special one on one time with each doll.
These girls get nervous about having their picture taken and getting ready for their future homes.
It does sound pretty scary.
I get to spend time chatting with them and putting them at ease.
The Keeper tells me I'm pretty good at that part too.

Anyway, how is everyone out in blogland?
Are you getting ready for Christmas?
Now that I'm starting to feel like myself again, I need to get the other dolls in the Christmas spirit!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, you guys!

I just wanted to say how thankful I am for each and every one of you.
It's because of you all that I continue to have my adventures.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Sorry things have been a bit quiet lately...there's lots of behind the scene stuff going on around here! I'll be back soon...I promise!

Happy Halloween!

Hey guys!
Do you have any big plans tonight?
The Monster High girls are having a big Halloween party tonight and all the dolls around here are invited.

Do you like my costume?
A spider wasn't really my first choice, but it was better than the other option...

Hmph. I wanted to be a princess.

Oh, I think you make a...uh- lovely pumpkin princess, Bea.

Whatever. I'm going on to the party.

Poor Bea.
Anyway...I know I told you all about my Disney trip, but there was one thing I left out.
I was afraid you might think I was silly, but I don't know...

This is the Haunted Mansion.
It was a great ride...pretty spooky (especially if you ride it at night like we did!)
At the end of the ride, they tell you about hitch hiking ghosts...they even show them with you!
The Keeper said it was just a funny part of the ride, but I'm not so sure.

Ever since then I can't shake the feeling that I'm being followed.
It's creepy.

I don't know...maybe I'm going crazy.
Still...I'm getting out of here.

Hey, Bea? Wait for me!

Oh, and have fun and stay safe tonight, you guys!
See ya!

Shhh...

Disney- Day 4

I was happy that day four of our trip would just be visiting Epcot.

I expected it to be a much more relaxing day.
What I didn't realize was just how much walking would be involved.
Especially when you walk all the way around the world...three times.

The "giant golf ball" was pretty cool.
They ride inside had been updated since The Keeper's last visit.
She thought it was much better than before.

 

We rode several rides towards the entrance of the park...including this one.

The seagulls over there would randomly start moving and saying "Mine, mine, mine!"

It was pretty cute.

And look...we managed to find Nemo!
I wonder how many times this little fish hears "It's Nemo!" in a day.

Now let me explain for a minute how this park is laid out.
Most of the rides are at the front of the actual park.
The back part of the park is the World Showcase. It's basically a bunch of countries in a HUGE circle around a pond. It's a very long walk...

Someone decided we would grab lunch at the World Showcase, and then finish riding the rides at the front of the park.
"We'll just eat in Mexico...it's one of the first countries you come to," they claimed.
Sounded like a good theory...until we got to Mexico and decided we didn't want to eat anything there.

So we went to China.
And that place was a little out of our price range for lunch.
We kept walking until we finally got to Japan.
At that point, it was pouring outside and we were pretty hungry.
We decided we were going to find something to eat in Japan.
Unfortunately, out of all the meals we had in Disney, this was the most disappointing. Ah well.
The Keeper and her husband think the quality of food has gone down in the World Showcase since they last visited. At least, the quality of food in the cheaper restaurants.
I guess they really want you to visit the super pricey places now.

Anyway, we had walked so far, we were pretty much at the halfway point.
See the golfball waaaay in the distance??

We made our way back to the front to finish our rides (we had a FastPass we didn't want to miss).

With the rides out of the way, it was back to another trip around the showcase...this time to actually look at the countries.
Norway was probably my very favorite...although that was probably because we had dessert in the awesome pastry shop there!

You'll have to forgive my lack of pictures from Epcot.
It was a very rainy day and most of pictures didn't quite turn out.
The evening was so wonderful though. The rain cleared out and it was nice and cool and breezy.
It was a perfect way to end our trip.

Our final day was just a travel day. We had to get up early and head for the airport.
Luckily, we had just enough time to grab some lunch before boarding the plane.

Nothing quite like a window seat!

We finally arrived home, completely exhausted.
We all immediately climbed in bed and slept for a few hours (until it was time to go pick up The Keeper's kids.)

Disney was quite an exciting adventure!
I feel so lucky I got to go...and I really hope to have many more big adventures to share with you guys.
(Probably not for awhile though...The Keeper said that trip drained them of all their spare money! Sigh, guess that means no new clothes for me for awhile.)
