• I am going to update completely for right now: here is the new plan:
• A daily journal of my activities with my dolls!
• I will post photos when I can.
• Mainly I will be taking notes of my activities
• with my American Girl doll Josefina,
• and, of course, Emma.

P.S. Please excuse the posting mistake, it was NOT posted in June!!!!

Emma's Halloween Costume

I bought this fabric a while ago, intending to trim it and turn it into a full Indian princess outfit with a variety of fabric, but yesterday I just took the full length of fabric (A half yard) and folded the top part over so that it was almost halfway folded, then I pinned it at both ends and the middle. Then I hemmed it with a straight stretch stitch and tied it in a nivi-style sari (I got the insructions from The Daring Book for Girls). Her choker is my Indian ankle bracelet, and her ornament is a chandelier earring. For Halloween I am going to be an Ancient Greek and wear the chiton from that book.

I think we will look quite nice!!!

My Fourth of July Cake

Here is my July 4th cake.

I actually made it on July 2nd so it was not a 4th cake originally

but it is so appropriate.

I am, in fact, going to make another for our Independence Day dinner.

I love this cake- it is so gorgeous and perfect-looking.

Yes, it's me posing with it.

A Happy Fourth of July to everyone & God bless America!

Some pictures of the cake I made for Mardi Gras.

It is a yellow cake with buttercream frosting.

I used a Martha Stewart template and sugar crystals to decorate.

It wasn't that hard to decorate but time-consuming.
