Celebrating Two Years!

Hello, everyone! I can't think of a better way to celebrate my second blogaversary than by saying that I have finally gotten caught up. From here on out, any new content on the blog will not be from the year before but happening in as close to real time as I can manage! Thank you so much for sticking with me. I'd like to present my stats to you now. :)

This blog has been viewed 6,208 times.

I have viewers in the USA, Hungary, the UK, Russia, Canada, Ukraine, France, Portugal, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Thank you to everyone who reads and enjoys this blog. I hope to keep it going for many years to come. :)


Come back this summer to see some exciting changes to how this blog is set up!

May- October, 2015

In mid May, Esmeralda got her earring and coin shawl that she'd been trying to get since she came to MyLittleMegara's house! They look so good on her!


In early June, we got some sad news.


We were talking with Hyacinth, one of the newest additions, when Zia and Hannah came up to us.


Zia was carrying Ariel's blue dress.

"Here, I want you to have this back," she said.

"Oh, I only wanted to borrow it back for the wedding. You can keep it," Ariel smiled.

"No, Ariel, I don't need it any more. You see, we- Hannah and I- are leaving."

"Why?" I burst out, "Why are you leaving?"

Hannah piped up. "We both decided we would rather be played with than sit on shelves. MyLittleMegara is great, but she isn't five years old."

Ariel and I looked at each other. They had a point, but we didn't want to see them go.

"We're really going to miss you," Ariel said.

"And we'll miss you," Hannah smiled, "but it's for the best.


Hannah walked over to Hyacinth and they started to negotiate something. Turns out Hannah was giving Hyacinth her bed since she wouldn't need it anymore and Hyacinth didn't have one yet.


After that had been dealt with, Hannah and Zia said their goodbyes. I gave them each big hugs and Ariel wished them luck on their journeys. Then they walked away.

A few days later, Herc and I went to MyLittleMegara with the intention of having some of our factory paint flaws remedied.






We look much better now. :) His eyebrows were coming off in chunks!

Then, in October, I went to New England with MyLittleMegara. It was a lot of fun. I saw Greek and Roman art, as well as the sea! Sadly, most of the pictures of that trip have gotten lost BUT here are the ones I could find:






With that, I have now brought you up to date on everything I have pictures of or have written a post on! :D

The Great Doll Blog Award!

Hello, internet! I'm back, though not with an update on my actual life. I do have an in progress post in my drafts, though, so we are getting closer to catching up. Instead, I'm here to announce that I was nominated by Grace for this prestigious award!


I have to answer her questions:

1. How long have you been blogging?

It feels like forever, but it was May 17 of 2014. Almost two years!

2. What is your favorite doll that you own?

Being a 12 inch doll, I don't own any dolls but my two closest friends are Esmeralda and my boyfriend, Hercules.

3. What doll do you hope to own someday?

Again, I'm a doll... I don't own other dolls, but I would love for Esmeralda to someday have a love interest. I know she wants one, even though she'll never admit it.

4. If you could have the outfit of any of your dolls, which would it be?

I've borrowed Ariel's blue dress a couple of times... but If I could have any of my friend's outfits, I'd want Elsa's blue dress. It's so pretty!

5. What is your favorite post/video that you've ever photographed/filmed?

I'm partial to Anna and Kristoff's engagement and wedding shoot. I love how MyLittleMegara did their pictures.

I would nominate 5 other bloggers, but MyLittleMegara is in a rush to use her computer again so she can do some sort of French thing... anyway, if you want to do this, feel free to answer the questions I was given in comments! Thank you, Grace!
