Happy Birthday Daddy! Plus Photos from Disneyland and DIYs!

Yesterday was my dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy! We went to Disneyland! As you can see he got his picture taken with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He was a character created by Walt Disney in the 1920s. He looks a lot like Mickey, huh? 

We went on It's A Small World a few weeks ago, and it was awesome!!  Everything was handmade!!! In It's A Small World, dolls sing and dance about their native lands all around the world. It's really good, and I highly recommend it! Here are some pictures:

Thailand 

India

Can-Can Dancers in France

Under The Sea in Hawaii. Can you spot any mermaids? 

Now for some DIYs! The first one is what I call my

Happy Box 

You will need: 

Any kind of container or small box (I used a cleaned out yogurt container)

Duct tape or ribbon

Stickers

Small things that make you happy, such as drawings or notes from friends, quotes, or even little trinkets like a heart-shaped stone or a charm

Instructions: First wrap the container in duct tape or ribbon. You can use one type of tape or ribbon, or you can do a pattern. You can even have a theme! (As I hope you can tell, I decided to go with a Hello Kitty theme.) Don't forget the lid! Then if you want you can decorate it with stickers, but of course this is optional. After that all you have to do is fill it with your Happy Things! 

Whenever you are feeling low, you can just go through your Happy Box and hopefully you will feel a little better! :) 

Heart Bunting

You will need:

Hemp or string

Scrapbook paper (you can find this at craft stores such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby)

Scissors

A stapler

Instructions: First cut some hearts out of your scrapbook paper. Next cut some string or hemp, and staple the hearts to the hemp or string. Then all you have to do is hang up your Heart Bunting!

Well, that's a wrap! I will be going on a trip soon, but I will be back in time to do a Halloween post. 

Peace, Love, and Craft Supplies!

Summer Reading!

Hello! 
I've added some more books to the Summer Reading list! (Also: new post coming soon!) And about the Land of Stories books, I only put in two of them because I've only read the first two so far, but there are more in the series!

The Land of Stories book 1: The Wishing Spell by Chris Colfer 

The second book: The Enchantress Returns

Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl

George's Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney

The Hero's Guide to Being an Outlaw (But if you are going to read this I insist that you read the first two books, The Hero's Guide to Saving your Kingdom and The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle,  before you read this one.) 

The BFG 

The Big Book of Spy Stuff  (I also really enjoyed his other book, The Big Book of Superheroes, but I didn't include that because I actually read that sometime around May, which doesn't count as Summer yet in my book) 

Frogged 

James and the Giant Peach 

Ever After High Book 1, The Storybook of Legends

Ever After High Book 2, The Unfairest of Them All 

I am also reading all of the Diary of A Wimpy Kid books. They are very good.

I hope you enjoyed! If you are planning on reading one or more of these, or have some Summer Reading suggestions, please comment and let me know.  I will be writing more posts soon! 

Peace, Love, and Books!

P.S. I will be making a new name tag soon!

Christmas is coming!

As requested by Lauren, here are some stocking stuffers that you can make for your doll!

Doll Candy Cane   

To make the doll candy cane is really quite easy. You can either make one out of salt dough, (click HERE to read how to make salt dough) and then paint red and white stripes on it, or you can take a pipe cleaner, trim it to the right size, bend it into a doll candy cane, and string red and white beads on it.

Teddy Bear and Stocking For Your Doll's Doll

You might have a doll for your doll. You can make a tiny teddy bear for your doll's doll, and a tiny stocking too. For the teddy bear, you cut the shape of a tiny teddy bear of a piece of brown or white felt, and cut it out. Repeat. Unravel a cotton ball and tear it apart. Place it on one of the felt teddies. Glue the other felt teddy onto the other one. Let dry. Trim a ribbon down the middle to make it less wide. Tie it around the teddy bear's neck. Take a thin black Sharpie and draw a teddy bear face on the head. 

For the stocking, do the same thing, except stocking shaped, and no cotton and no ribbon and no Sharpie face.

Doll Purse 

This is very easy. Just glue or sew together pieces of felt and add a strand of ribbon for a strap. 

Soon I will be posting how to make a fake snow globe as a decoration or Christmas gift. Bye!

Happy Halloween!

Hello! I'm sorry for getting this post up so late! I didn't realize Halloween was tomorrow until today! Anyhoo, here's how to make some doll costumes, a Halloween decoration idea, and also, if you're on Animal Jam, send me, SealGirl47078, a Jam a Gram saying Halloween Cupcakes, and I'll send you some Animal Jam Halloween gifts! As requested by Lauren, How to make a doll maiden costume: You will need: A doll dress, preferably in dark blue, purple, or yellow, or if you don't have one, most fabric stores will have solid colored fabric so you can sew a doll dress for instructions on seeing a doll dress go on YouTube there are lots of videos on how to sew a doll dress on there just remember it has to be long. Ribbon or if you don't have ribbon a fabric that is a different color from the dress Felt that, preferably, matches the ribbon Scissors Glue, fabric glue works best A small bow that matches the fabric that's a different color from the dress Instructions: Once you have the dress, take the fabric that is a different color from the dress, and cut it into thin strips. Then take the glue and sort of draw criss crosses down the middle. Then place the strips on the glue so that the strips are criss crossing too. Also put glue on the fabric strips that have fabric strips going over them. Then glue the small bow at the top. As requested by Julia, How to make a doll mermaid costume: You will need: One long doll skirt. It can be any color you want. If you don't have one or you can't find one at a store or if you don't have enough money for one, take a cute sock that nobody uses, stretch it out, and pull it over your doll's legs. Matching sequins and glue or a matching marker A doll tank top, doll bathing suit, or a doll T-shirt that you would not mind cutting Cloth, glue, and a barrette (optional) Instructions: Take the doll skirt and either glue the matching sequins on for scales, or draw scales on with the matching marker. Take the fabric and draw a flower on it. Then cut the flower out and glue it onto the barrette. Now you have the tail, the flower for your doll's hair. Now put on your doll's bathing suit or tank top, or if you don't have either of those, take the doll T-shirt and cut the sleeves to turn it into a tank top. After you've put your doll in the tank top or bathing suit, put the tail and flower on her. Spooky window decoration! You'll need: An empty pizza box Things to decorate the box like markers, glitter, paint, stickers, plastic spiders, etc. Scissors Tape Instructions: Decorate the inside of the pizza box, making it look like there's scary stuff outside, like ghosts, a witch (or several witches) riding broomsticks, a black cat with bright green eyes, goblins, etc. Then make a border that looks like a window sill and window frame. Do the same with the bottom part of the pizza box. Then cut the too "windows" apart and tape each one to you bedroom walls. Well, that's all. Happy Halloween!!!!!!                                     Wishing you lots of yummy Halloween candy,

Hello!

Yesterday I played Animal Jam with Lovebeck! I took a screen shot. Also, so far Lauren and Julia have said what doll Halloween costume they want me to post. Lauren wants a doll maiden costume, and Julia wants a doll mermaid costume. Will do! Now you comment what doll Halloween costume you want me to post!! 

Bye for now!

P.S. In case you were wondering, Sparkle Snowyrose is me, and Princess Magicmoon is Lauren

Summer is almost here!

I loooooooooooooooooooove summer! I thought I'd tell you some of my favorite things to do in summer, while I work on doing a post with lots of recent photos in it. I can't post it yet, because there are so many photos and it will take a while. 


Run through the sprinkler. (Sometimes I play a game with my friends where you have to try to stand right next to it, and at the very last moment try to run away without getting wet.) 

Go to outdoor pools. (My absolute all time favorite one is Sunset Pool.)

Have a squirt gun fight with friends. (You can buy squirt guns at places like Michael's, Target, & Ross.)

Have a contest with friends to see who can stay under freezing cold hose water in a kitty pool the longest. 

Have a lemonade stand, a duct tape wallets and bracelets stand, or a stand where all the money you make goes to endangered species. (National Geographic is good.)

Make ice pops in flavors like lemonade, orange, strawberry, root beer, etc. and see which ice pops taste the best with your friends. 

Run around at the splash ground. 

Buy a pair of plain white flip-flops and decorate them with things like fake flowers, stick-on rhinestones, ribbons, buttons, beads, duct tape, etc.

Have races with friends.

Make a clubhouse in the backyard. (You can use a blanket over a table, a blanket over a tree, or just put your tent in the backyard.)

Have cookouts.

And guess what? This year on Animal Jam there's going to be a summer carnival! Can't wait for that!!!!!! www.animaljam.com

Home camping trip

Yearning for camping? But it's too cold? Guess what? You can have a camping trip in you're very own house!

What you will need: 
A sleeping bag
A lantern (optional)
Marshmallows (if you're mom wants you to eat something healthier, ask her to make these: http://urbanposer.blogspot.com/2011/11/home-made-honey-sweetened-marshmallows.html )
A blank scrapbook
A camera
A computer and printer
Crayons

How to: First, roll out you're sleeping bag on the couch or on the floor. Put the lantern next to it. Then, take a picture of you on you eating marshmallows on the sleeping bag. True, you can't roast them, but I think they taste good anyway, right? If you want, you can draw a picture of a campfire and pretend to roast them with you're dolls and stuffed animals. You can take a picture of that, too. 

Sometimes when I go camping, I buy postcards and mail them to friends. If you want, you can draw pictures of forests or lakes or campsites, and paste them into the scrapbook. You can even add magical forest creatures, like gnomes, phoenixes, dragons, and forest fairies. If you have a stuffed magical creature, (or a magical creature doll) you can place it in front of a drawn picture of the woods and take a photo. Or you can take a photo of a magical creature in the woods in a fairy tale book. (Make sure you can't see the words!) 

Finally, print out all the pictures you took and paste them into the scrapbook. (Glue sticks work best.) For extra decoration, draw things like leaves, mushrooms, flowers, etc. around them. Presto-wham-o! Not only was that fun, but you also made a really cool scrapbook, right? =)

Tea Parties

                                       
Here are some ideas for tea parties:

Doll Tea Party: Use a shoe box, a stack of books, an upside down bowl, or a chair for a doll table. Decorate your doll table with a few paper doilies, or a piece of pretty fabric for a tablecloth. Use pillows for doll chairs. 

For doll-sized refreshments, put a small plate in the middle of the table and fill it with small chocolates or candy, berries, mini cupcakes, mini pretzels, mini cookies, or nuts. If you don't have a tiny tea set, you can make one with play dough or salt dough. My mom has a recipe for salt dough on her website. Click HERE for my mom's salt dough recipe. 

More suggestions for doll tea parties: Make tiny invitations and hand them out to friends, (make sure to remind them to bring their dolls!) ask everyone to dress up their dolls for the party, ( and themselves, too!) and make mini party favors for the dolls, like tiny bracelets, tiny stickers, tiny thank you cards, tiny colored rocks, or anything fun and tiny! (To make colored rocks, just paint rocks in bright colors.)  

Stuffed Animal Tea Party: For stuffed animal tea parties, just do everything you do for the doll tea parties, except for stuffed animals! 

Paper Doll Tea Party: Draw a tea set on paper and cut it out for your paper dolls. Then draw some refreshments, cut those out, and put the tea set and refreshments on the top of an old spool of thread or jar.
