My Bad Collecting Habit. :P

Hello Lovely followers! :) (it is me AGMarket!)

Thank you SO much for 95 followers! It means a lot to us.

Ok, so this week is "American Girl Dolls", and I thought about my bad collecting habit, so here goes! :P

__________________________________________

Some might say I am bankrupt... If you follow my blog (www.livelifewithyouragdoll.blogspot.com) then you know I make a new purchase everyday. :}

Think I am spoiled? WRONG! I don't have any money left? WRONG! Think I buy a ton of stuff without thinking. WRONG ..... well maybe. *ahem*

I am a collector. I buy and sell for a living. to support my HOBBY. And that brings us back to the topic. :-) AMERICAN GIRL!

Wait, what? Those 18 inch dolls with the expensive pricing? RIGHT!

Most of you have them, so I won't have to describe them to you.

BACK ON TOPIC!

___________________________________________

I currently have 6 American Girl Dolls. I had 14, then I sold some, then I bought some, and I am STILL buying some.

Here is the order of dolls I have gotten!

A picture is worth one thousand words...

Hi guys! :) Happy Wednesday! I am enjoying my spring break!

It was so nice outside today! It finally is starting to feel like spring, my favorite season after summer!

Can you believe that Easter is this Sunday? I love Easter! My family always goes to our grandparent's house after church to hunt for Easter eggs! You?

Since this week's theme is American Girl, I'd thought I'd venture outside with my new doll, Nicki, and take some creative photos! Enjoy! :)


From rags...




...to riches!



She's such a beautiful doll! I will be posting more photos on my main blog soon!

Have a great week! :)

Quiz: Which Type of Friend are You?

1. There's a huge rumor going around school about your friend Megan... and she's totally devastated! You:

a) Get your shoulder ready for her to cry on. Your friends always turn to you when they are upset or need help.
b) Think of a way to cheer her up. There's no better way to get her mind off things than making her laugh!
c) Decide you're going to stop this rumor right now, once and for all. You do not allow rumors to go around about your friends. No way!

2. Your group of friends is trying to decide on weekend plans at lunch. You:

a) Step right in when nobody can decide. Two want a spa night, two want a movie night... so why not watch a movie while giving each other pedicures? Problem solved!
b) Jump on top of your chair and start belting out the new Taylor Swift song. Obviously your recommendation for the weekend is karaoke!
c) Know your friends will go along with whatever you suggest. You tend to make most of the weekend plans in your group. Sleepover, anyone?

3. In the school yearbook, you'd probably win:

a) Most Likely to Be President. When there's a problem, you have the solution!
b) Best Laugh. You are always laughing, after all!
c) Most Likely to Be Famous! You know what you want... and you get it!

4. Your best boy friend's parents are going through a divorce. He's super upset, but not the type to talk about it. You:

a) Print out a bunch of info you found online for kids going through a divorce. He needs to know he's not alone!
b) Start leaving a silly gift in his locker every morning. Who knows? Maybe a whoopee cushion will help make him smile again!
c) Organize a huge surprise party, and get all your friends to come. This will help cheer him up and get his mind of things!

5. OMG! Your friend Kelly tripped at lunch and spilled milk all over her new shirt! You:

a) Run to the get the emergency kit you keep in your locker. You're always prepared and ready to help!
b) Put a huge glob of chocolate pudding over your teeth, then smile and her and say, "I don't think anyone will notice!"
c) Suggest to your friends that you all spill milk on your shirts so Kelly won't feel so bad. You're a team, after all!

Add 'em up!

Mostly A's: The Advice Giver
If any of your friends need advice, they know just who to turn to... you! You dish out the best guidance because you always listen carefully and consider everyone's feelings before you propose solutions. You love helping friends figure out their problems - and they love your help! Just be careful never to push your advice on anyone, and all will be well!

Mostly B's: The Joker
There isn't a situation out there that your can't have fun with! With your incredible sense of humor, friends know to turn to you when they need a good laugh... or two! Being able to make people smile and laugh is awesome, and you're a blast to be around - no doubt about that! Be sure to show your serious side every once in a while, too.

Mostly C's The Leader
You're a born leader who naturally stands out from the crowd and knows how to take control of a situation. You help your friends make decisions, and your confidence often rubs off on other people. As long as you don't hog the limelight, friends will continue to look up to you! Hey, someone has to lead... why not you?

Have a great day! :)

Ballet is a sport.

Hey girls!

This weeks theme is sports.
And I am not a very sporty girl. Football makes no sense, baseball is boring, and soccer is...dangerous. I won't even tell you what happened when I tried to play that.
But there is one sport I'm good at. Ballet. Yes guys, ballet is a sport.
Because...
If Ballet was any easier it would be called football
Pinterest has it right.
Ballet is my passion, and one of my many daily activities. It that takes up a lot of my time. I go to dance four days a week, and I’m there for more than two hours each day. I dance a total of twelve hours a week or about forty-eight hours a month! And that doesn’t even include the extra rehearsals I have over the weekends... Ballet also helps me gain confidence in my abilities, keeps me fit, and helps me make new friends.

Do you play any sports? :)
