Saige, 2013, and AGP

Heyy guys! So in two days I'm going to the American Girl Place! :)
I'm going to the American Girl place on January 1st! I saved up my money and the gift is the transportation to get there.
This trip is mostly because it's so exciting to go on the first and they give away a free GOTY t-shirt this year. (Last year the exclusive item was a bag for McKenna's gymnastics items). There's also some crafts and activities like a scavenger hunt to do so it will fun to do and get the items you can only get at an AGP. I will not be eating at the Cafe or anything like that, so it's mainly to go in, get Saige's Starter Collection, do the crafts, and take pictures of the new MAG and GOTY items. I'll definitely take lots of pictures for you guys, and possibly a video although I'm sure it will be very loud and crowded so I'm not sure how enjoyable the video would be to watch. I'm really excited and I'll vlog before I go, and while I'm there as much as I can since it will be very busy.
I plan to get Saige's Starter Collection, and maybe her horse and the horse's accessories (I think they're called the Parade Saddle Set or something like that). Or possibly her Starter Collection and her pj's and dress. Or maybe the easel. As you can tell, I'm still deciding :) I began saving in June for her so I've got a head start.
Anyway, I'll take lots of pictures and I'll make an opening video. I'm going to have a post tomorrow about 2013 and things like that :)
Thanks for reading/commenting and have a great New Years Eve Eve!

P.S. My family's computer is being fixed, after being broken on and off for a few months, so I'll be able to upload more videos and pictures! We should get it sometime late next week.

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town :D

Heyy guys! I'm so excited for Christmas this year. Can you believe it's tomorrow er.. more like several hours away?!
For Christmas, my family has my aunt over for a week or so. On Christmas Eve, we read The Night Before Christmas and I hang my stocking. I put the presents from me to my family under the tree already and Santa will come during the night. I leave cookies and milk for Santa, and oats and a for the reindeer. I always write a note to Santa each year. I finished baking the cookies about an hour ago and I'm just finishing up before we read TNBC and I go to sleep so Santa can come. Sometimes, we track Santa on one of the online Santa trackers, it's really fun to see where he is.
What does your family do for Christmas?
Let me know in the comments below what you asked for and how your family celebrates for what holiday you celebrate :)
Thanks for reading/commenting!

P.S. I'll have pictures of the cookies and milk in a future blog post, probably next week :)

Merry Christmas, Happy (belated) Hannukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Winter Vacation, and have a wonderful Winter Break!!!

New Series: Insider Info #1

Heyy guys :) So, I've been working on a new series for a little while now and I'm really excited to reveal it to you...but I think I should wait until it's closer to my uploading schedule. So right now, I have the storyline all worked out. I actually finished it on the bus ride home today... haha, I was trying to cover what I was writing because I was sitting next to this girl and I had no clue if she was looking at my paper. I actually get really paranoid about people looking at what I'm writing, even if it's just homework. I don't know why, I just do...anyway, back to the series idea. So, I think my weekend will pretty much be taken over by making sets and coming up with outfit ideas. Without giving too much away, the series I'm planning is pretty elaborate in the sets and theme. So, I really need to go to the store and pick up some supplies. I'm actually going to the craft store in about 15 minutes, so I can pick up what I need at A.C. Moore.
Here's my "Shopping List" xD
A.C. Moore
-3 Rolls Of Duct Tape (not for the series, my friends are doing a gift exchange and they are for the girl that I am getting the gift for)
-Posterboard (I'm guessing this will be a few dollars, so I think I'll get one)
-Felt (brown, blue, green, red, etc)

Staples
-Notebook (for my videos)

And I think that's it :)

------------------------------------------------The Next Day----------------------------------------------
So we actually ended up leaving right as I finished typing  the shopping list. So, it's Saturday morning and yesterday I went to A.C. Moore. I did end up getting everything I needed however I also got two other items. They're so cute (and doll-sized!) :)  The first item was a little bucket with handle. It's very cute and will definitely be used in my series. The second item is a little basket/picnic basket. It's so cute and will work great in my series. I did get a notebook for my video ideas and I'm going to use that from now on instead of just randomly writing down ideas in my school notebook.

I actually ended up getting one large cardboard tri-fold. It was less than $4 and the foam-core one was $15. I thought that was crazy, and I like the cardboard one better anyway because it still had a blank inside (they also had colored ones) and I can draw on it unlike the shiny foam ones with you can draw on because it doesn't show up since it's glossy. For the felt, I ended up getting about 12 sheets of various colors. A few sheets were the same but I have a nice variety now. That's pretty much it for the supplies and I have colored pencils, markers, and paints at home so I'm going to get to work on the set soon. I'm so excited for this series! Below, there is a schedule on the anticipated uploading schedule.

*Note: These are estimates. Not exact dates and subject to change*  (that was so official, xD)
December 1st-2nd - Make sets / Make Behind-The Scenes Video
December 9th - Upload Episode 1
December 16th - Upload Episode 2
December 22nd - Upload Episode 3
December 30th - Upload Episode 4
January 6th - Upload Episode 5
etc, etc, etc.
As you can tell I'll be uploading Sunday's except for December 22nd. I'm not quite final on how many episode there will be, since I don't yet know how long I want to make each episode. Please comment down below how long you would like them to be. I don't want to bore you by making them over 6 minutes but I want them to be long enough so it's not over in 30 seconds. They will be live video (not stopmotion), I may make an AGSM series in the future but not for this one. I also really want to make a Christmas special and I'll pause filming and editing for a few days to film that.
So, I'm super excited for this and more Insider Info posts to come :)
Thanks for reading/commenting!

P.S. Next Insider Info, the title is released :D
