The holiday season has pretty much arrived and I thought I would find myself with loads of free time on my hands like last year. I imagined myself gaining inspiration for and writing in my work-in-progress novel, swinging outside while listening to music, sipping hot cocoa while reading a book by the Christmas tree, and getting together as many presents as I can possibly buy or make for my family and friends just because it’s so fun to give things away. I also envisioned myself not spending too much time on my blog.
Unfortunately, that just doesn’t seem to be the case this year. It’s the craziest thing, guys!
In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, I look at the calendar on my computer one day and happen to notice that Christmas is in less than two weeks and I haven’t bought or even made a single Christmas present for my family or friends.
Now, enough of my rambling and onto the photoshoot. 😉 Don’t worry, there aren’t a bunch of random photos – I edited down to eleven of my filtered favorites. 😉 I hope you like ’em!
She looks like she’s in the jungle!
I had wanted her for a very long time, and when I finally got her last year from my little brother, I realized she wasn’t everything I had hoped for her to be. 😛 Her hair wasn’t very style-able and would get messy fast. Because it was so short, it was hard to do much with it at all.
But when I took these photos on November 19th, I realized that all you need to spark your interest in a doll again is a new hairstyle!
She looks so calm and relaxed and… thoughtful. And serene.
I made this her new profile picture, but it was so hard to pick one! Emma’s first photoshoot turned out really well in my opinion. I can’t wait to take the other minis out and snap new photos for their profiles, too! It was fun to experiment with the different lighting. If you’re curious, these pictures were taken from 6:36 PM to 6:53 PM.
Did you have a favorite picture? Are you excited for any of the things coming up next?

Ooh! I’m excited for everything. Your photoshoot of Emma is so beautiful! She is such a sweet doll, and your way if portraying her as a thoughtful dreamer is adorable! Your photos are just SO gorgeous!
P.S. I noticed you requested access to my new (private☹️) blog. I really really REALLY wish I could let you read it, but my parents have a rule about only people I know in real life being allowed to read it. ? However, hopefully next year I’ll be allowed to make my blog public, and then you’ll be the first to know! ?
P.S. Oh, okay! No problem at all! Thank you for letting me know! 😀 ?
Well, it makes me smile to read your blog! ?? I ? it! ?
Aw, that means so much! ? Thank you very much, Izzy! ?
Yes! On our bannister we have white lights that blink-it’s really cool!
I bet that’ll be fun! Do you like decorating for Christmas?
That is so cool! I bet it looks beautiful!

I’m just like you- haven’t bought anybody anything yet! Ooops! I guess I’m going shopping tomorrow!
Lovely pictures! They turned out great! I don’t mind that mini doll monday was a week early! Good luck with all your Christmas shopping!
Also, on a lighter note, I would like to mention those photos are AMAZING!! Makes my photos look amateur!!LOL!LOL!LOL!
I’m actually working on one of those posts right now as we speak! 😉 (LOL! ?) I know, right? (And hey, you can make some pretty awesome styles just using wet-with-water fingers to finger-style it! 😀 I actually tried not using a doll hair brush for a long time, and my doll’s hair was still great!) LOL!
And aw, thank you SO much, AGfan! I actually visited your blog a little while ago – it was AWESOME! I really want to comment and follow – is that little form at the bottom right-hand side of the page for commenting or subscribing?
I actually can’t post on it at the moment 🙁 due to computer problems…but as soon as i can, i want to change the who look(i can’t even get the editor:(. Anyway the posts are a little bit so-so so i might start over?? And yes, the box is for commenting, but it doesn’t feature the comment on the blog sorry!!Thx for looking tho!!
Aww thx!! Your so understanding!!
Hey how do you get laughing faces…and ones poking out tongues??
This one? ? On most WordPress blogs, the “code” for it is “XD” in all capital letters and without the quotation marks (I use it as a laughing face, a silly/mischievous/sheepish grin, or a grin in general 😉 ). However, XD will not turn into ? automatically on my blog. I copy and paste the ? smiley instead (it’s my favorite!).
I can’t wait to see them, the Photoshoot of Emma, I’m sure will be amazing!!
Great pictures! Can’t wait to see what’s coming up!
P.S. Oh, phew! Thank you so much! My comments are crazy. They end up in spam a LOT. 😛 Thanks again!
P.S. You’re welcome! I wonder why? I thinks it’s because you have 2 links in your profile and people with WordPress blogs have in there settings that 2 links and more are in spam. You’re welcome!
Ah! That must be why! Do I really have two links? OHHH… My YouTube *and* blog. No wonder. Grr, WordPress! *shakes fist* 😛 Thanks again for letting me know!
Yes! No problemo! I changed my settings to 3 so you want be in the spam folder!
Phew! Thank you so much!
