And You Thought You'd Seen the Last of Me...

Hi everybody! It's been awhile. I'd say I forgot about AGA, but truth be told, it's never left my mind. It stayed in the very back of it, surfacing as I lay in bed at night. I'd remember all the hard work I put into this site, how excited I was every time I got a comment, and most importantly, the heart and soul that went into every element of this blog.

I want to do it all again.

I want to put hours into a single review again. I want to show the world everything I do with my dolls. I love doing that, and I guess I just forgot how much I do.

My main focus right now is school. My second focus is writing, because I'm working on getting published (and you all can say you knew me when;). My third focus is YouTube. I love watching YouTubers like Dan and Phil and Connor Franta and Tyler Oakley and Kian Lawley and the like, so I wanted to try it. Of course, I'm using my doll Logan as my main YouTuber. 

This blog is going to be the behind-the-scenes stop for our YouTube, ag.manatee. Yes, it's a new channel. I'm also still posting on our Dollstagram @ag.manatee, but I haven't in awhile. I'll start that up again soon, I promise.

So I hereby welcome you back to AGA take two, AG Manatee. This is the next chapter of my story as a member of the doll community. I can't wait to see what happens next ;)

I'm Back I Think;)

Wow, it's been awhile. I haven't posted for months! I'm so sorry. Life's been pretty hectic lately, and I haven't had a lot of free time. But I promise, I'm going to try and post whenever I can. They may not be as frequent as they've been in the past, but I promise I'll make a valiant try;)

Quick Little Updates;D

Sooo... I may have forgotten to post that I went to Washington D.C! I just got back two hours ago, and I'll have a more official post on that tomorrow;)

Also, there's an awesome giveaway going on at Doll Diaries right now! You can check that out HERE.

Have a great day!

Quick Little Update

I just updated the Meet the Dolls page! I split it into two pages to make it a little easier, too. I hope you like it!

How Long Has It Been?

Whew! I haven't posted in weeks! Between all of my extra curriculars, studying for my three huge finals, and spending time with my family and friends, I've had next to no time to post!

Don't worry, that stops now!

Summer's coming, and I have a ton of surprises up my sleeve! 

Be on the lookout for-

1. A tour of my new doll house!

2. A tour of Camp Doll Diaries, and weekly recaps! (I'm going to try harder with the recaps than I did            last year;)

3. Tons of crafts, reviews, photography, photo stories, thought posts, and, of course, other awesomeness!

Felicity Here, With A HUMUNGOUS Announcement!

Hello everyone! Felicity here! I know I usually post on my sisters' blog, The CRAZY Life of a Doll, but I am posting on Mom's right now. Because…

 I have a big announcement!  

We're MOVING!!!

Kind of…

Mom's room is getting redone! And a DOLLHOUSE was built in the process!

We now have a nine room house!  

Mom will share pictures when it's all furnished!

We had to pack up everything in boxes.

All of the furniture, doll sized and people sized, had to come out.

We all spent a long time packing everything up.

And then we said goodbye, and moved into our temporary house.

See you soon!

Doll Diaries Givaway!

Doll Diaries is having a great giveaway for the OG laptop set! Hurry, it ends Thursday!

Ballet Week: Recital Time!

Hey guys! Sadly, this is Ballet Week's last post:( But, the giveaway won't end until next Saturday, so you still have time to send me your entries and pictures for the Ballet Week Gallery ( which currently has no pictures:( )

But... Here is the video from Saige's recital! I hope you like it!

I really hope you enjoyed Ballet Week, and that it helped you find your inner dancer! But, this post is bittersweet.

I'm leaving.

I'll think about you guys all the time while I'm gone. I love blogging and always will. You guys will always be my cyber friends no matter what. And I'll take pictures.

Confused?

I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeppo, I'm going to Disney! And I'll be back to blogging next Sunday! So don't think I'm leaving for good. I just like messing with you! I leave Wednesday, and this will be my last post until I come back. Ruthie and Nina the Shark are coming, and I'll take tons of pictures! AND I'M GOING TO SEE REAL MANATEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'll see you Sunday!

Sorry Guys!

Sorry I missed the ballet week post yesterday and Wednesday! I started school yesterday, so I won't have as much time for everything, especially with four hours of homework a night, and at least an hour of studying. My hardest class is Honors French, but it comes easy to me so I'll be fine. Oh, and would you mind praying for my friend Cathleen, please? She just got her appendix out. She'll be fine though. She's a trooper;)

I'll have two for you tonight! 

Good luck to all who start/started school!

Nina:)

I got Mini Saige!!!!!!!!!! Review soon!

I also got a doll from Germany! My mom went there and brought her for me! Review soon!

New siggy! Ill see you soon!

I'm back!

Hey guys! I'm back from camp! I'll Have a big post for you tomorrow! Bye! 'Cause I'm so very tired... See you tomorrow:)

Leaving...

Hi everyone! I'm going to summer camp from tomorrow till Thursday, with no access to Internet. But I'll be back with two crafts, photo stories, and more!

Oh, and my three winners, Tarynn picked interview, so my other two, please comment your first choice prize (interview is taken).

Bye until Thursday!

I'm so mad...

It's like, 11:00 here, but we were watching the Saige movie at my cousins' house, and at the VERY end, they had this dumb breaking news thing about the George Zimmerman trial! So what if they finally reached a verdict? The last 5 minutes!!!!!! They couldn't wait 5 minutes?!?!?!?!?!?! ? So yeah, I'm very mad. Craft in the morning...

Happy 4th of July!

Garage Sale Haul, Craft Store Visit, Doll Makeover, Review, but Mostly I'M BACK!!!

Woah, it feels like I haven't posted in forever! Well, I am OFFICIALLY on summer vacation, so I will have way more time for dolls and blogging! Soooooo...

Grandma and I went to the craft store on Tuesday, and I got some cool stuff!

 This make your own furniture set was $5.00 but with a coupon I paid $2.50!

 The furniture pieces came on sheets of balsa wood that you had to punch out and put together like a puzzle.

 Here is only some of the furniture after I put it together and painted it.

 I also got cow pencils, stickers, (I got AG stickers too but they're not in the picture), and PENGUIN DUCK TAPE!!! And I found an unused SF Style Club code on the ground!:D

 Isn't that cute?!?

 Plus, Springfield Uggs! Time for a Mini Review!

 It came with the boots and the code!

 They are soft, they have fur around the edge, and the soles are foam. They fit AGs, OG, and Springfield perfectly!

Now, I had some EPIC garage sale finds!

 At garage sale #1, I got A Moxie Girlz Avery! Her hair had been cut, and she had marker in her hair, but she's still pretty.

 She had marker on her face too.

 But, I cleaned her up! So, meet Aubry Alexis Saratoga! She's so pretty! The marker didn't come out, but I washed her hair. I got most of the marker off her face, too, except for a little bit. Welcome to the family, Aubry!

 Next, I got 3 CALICO CRITTERS BUILDINGS, 9 PETS, AND TONS OF FURNITURE FOR $5.00!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo grateful and sooooooooo lucky to find these! I have literally wanted Calico Critters since I was 2, and I FINALLY have my own!:D

 

Top Row: Sarah, Myra, Mara

                                                          Middle Row: Logan, Maggie, Layla, Megan
                                                          Bottom Row: Andrew, Marrissa

 Here's the furniture: Master bed and bedding, high chair, day bed, slide (missing support), random drawer...

 ... kitchen counter, oven, two chairs, little nightstand, random handle, kid's bed and bedding, mold/pan...

 ... and a desk.

 Two of the buildings are identical.This is the inside.

 The other building is a big cabin.

 It has two floors and a little bulletin board.

But my next find was the most amazing...

 AN AMERICAN GIRL BITTY TWIN RETIRED DOUBLE STROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I can not begin to explain how grateful and fortunate I am to find this! It is awesome!

 This is what told me it was AG! There's a funny story about this thing; I rode my bike to this garage sale, and I saw this and internally screamed. I was afraid to bring it home. I kept thinking, What will Mommy say? I didn't really play with baby dolls any more (except for my precious Mike and Maggie). Plus, I had ridden my bike, so it would be hard to get home. But I couldn't leave it there, so I lugged it and my bike home. It took a half an hour for a usually 10 minute trip, but it was worth it. And my mom let me keep it despite the fact that it takes up a lot of room. Nevertheless, I love it:)

Here's the AG tag to prove it!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not think I'm bragging, I'm just super excited. And please don't think I'm spoiled either, because I bought the garage sale stuff with my own money and I owe my mom a week of chores for the craft stuff;)

Now that I'm off till September, I have TONS of posts planned, including:

1. 2 crafts, so you might want to find an old pair of pants to cut up (hint hint;))
2. There's been lot's of AG scoop going around :O, so I'll give you my thoughts.
3. What's going on with Nina the Shark Productions!
4. Mini movie, an AGA EXCLUSIVE for blog readers ONLY:O:O:O
5. A SPECIAL summer surprise!

So get ready, 'cause AGA is BACK!!!!!

OMG!

Guess what! Tonight we have to pick up my mom's car at the mechanic, and it is really close to the biggest and BEST toy store ever, THE PUDDLE DUCK! I can't wait! I'll take pictures and post them tomorrow. I have another post planned for tonight!
