Hello From Us: Hollis

Hello, everyone!  I am Hollis Ann.  Aighmi* received me as a birthday present last June, but it wasn't until now that I decided to finally include myself on our blog. I'm like that....I like to think about things, rather than just jump ahead.  Preferably, there should be plently of time to think about EVERY decision.  But then, once I have made up my mind, I jump in with both feet!

Full Name:  Hollis Ann

Age: 10

I Like This Time Period:  I guess I don't really have a preference.  Though I sure wouldn't want to have lived before indoor plumbing!

Hobbies: Being outside, hanging out with my buddies, going to camp in the summer.

Three Words that Describe Me:  Contemplative, loyal, adventurous.

My Three Closest Friends:  Rose Lynn, Addy, Mint Molly

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." - Helen Keller

It is so lovely to be part of Aighmi*s little family!  We have a great time together, and many adventures to share.

When the time comes for me to post, I will close by saying,

Farewell!

Hollis

Hello From Us: Molly

Hello, everyone!  I am Molly, and I had a very full life with a little girl who grew up to have only little boys.  She decided that someone else would have more fun with me, and that is how I came to be part of Aighmi*s family!  I much prefer the company of the other dolls than life in storage, which was VERY boring.  Also, it gave me the beginnings of silver eye, but Aighmi* said that doesn't bother her a bit!

Full Name:  Molly Jean McIntire

Age: 8

I Like This Time Period:  Right NOW!  Because I can dress however I like!

Hobbies: Cuddling, chatting with my new sisters, playing with My Little Ponies, and playing board games.

Three Words to Describe Me:  Grateful, curious, cheerful.

My Three Closest Friends:  Aighmi*, Emily, Mint Molly

"To Molly, the surprise was all the more wonderful because you had to earn it.  It was a discovery to be found only at the end of a long, hard hike.  No one was going to give the surprise away, so Molly didn't ask questions about it.  She was enchanted with the mystery of it all." - Molly Marches On, Valerie Tripp

Since I was given an opportunity at a new life, I want to use it well.  I hope to make everyone feel content and welcomed, and I want to enjoy every moment that I am not in storage!

When i post on this blog, I will sign with

Enjoy!

Molly

Hello from Us: Lindsey

MyLittleMegara read my book for the first time last summer and just started laughing. Apparently, she was EXACTLY like I am when she was my age... so of course I had to join her AG family. I popped up as a Christmas gift and am very glad to be here and out of my box after 14 human years in it!!

Full Name: Lindsey Esther Bergman

Age: 10

I Like This Time Period: Whichever time period the Doctor is currently traveling to.

Hobbies: I love to ride my scooter, help others, watch Doctor Who and Disney movies, play with my friends, read, do crafts, dress up... everything?

Three Words to Describe Me: Ideas, Love, Laughter

My Closest Friends: Hmmm... Rosie, Wendy, Isabelle, MyLittleMegara, Molly, Kit, Addy... everybody, I guess!

"Most of my problems started a month ago, when I wrecked my school's pet parade. Kids spend months getting ready for the pet parade every year. It's a huge deal. They make overalls for their dogs and ballerina outfits for their hamsters -- and that, my friend, is the problem. HAMSTERS SHOULD NOT WEAR BALLERINA OUTFITS!" - Lindsey, Chryssa Atkinson

Mostly, I just want to make this world the best place it possibly can be. I know this is a lofty goal, but I do my best to bring sunshine with me wherever I go! I really want a dog, preferably a dachshund, and I want a TARDIS so I can see and do everything.

When I sign off, I'll finish a post with

Saving the world one ____ at a time,

Lindsey

So for this one it's

Saving the world one introduction at a time,

Lindsey

Hello From Us: Rose Lynn

Hi, everyone!  I'm new here!  I'm Aighmi*s doll, but we have to borrow MyLittleMegara's computer because Aighmi*s died the first week in December.  But that has just meant that she has had more time to play!  Aighmi* named me Rose Lynn, but mostly she calls me Rosie. I guess I am what is called a "Just Like You" doll, and I sort of look like Aighmi* did when she was a kid.  I wonder if that means that i will have a lot of white in my hair in a few decades?

Full Name: Rose Lynn Applecross

Age: 10

I Like This Time Period:  Right now!  I really haven't learned much about other time periods, and it seems like this is a good one because no matter what time period you like or hobby you have, you can enjoy it right now!

Hobbies:  Watching movies, hanging out with Aighmi* & the other dolls here, playing with Disney Tsum Tsums.

Three Words to Describe Me:  Affectionate, curious, eager to learn.  (Oh, that's not one word...sorry!)

My Closest Friends:  Jesus, Aighmi*, and Addy.

At that time, Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

Matthew 11:25

I don't remember my life before being here...it's like I woke up for the first time when Aighmi* took me out of my shipping box.  There is so much to learn!  I love to snuggle and to learn all about this world I am living in now!  I know they are for little kids, but the Veggie Tales shows are so much fun to watch!!  

When I write, I guess I will sign myself....

Blessings, 

Rosie

Hello From Us: Addy

Hi!  I'm Addy!  I am a happy member of Aighmi's doll family.

Full Name: Addy Walker

Age: 8

I Like This Time Period: Civil War Era for my stories and fashion, modern times b/c I love jeans and t-shirts!

Hobbies: Gardening, playing with pets, cooking with Josefina.

Three Words to Describe Me: Playful, loyal, generous.

My Closest Friends: Aighmi* & Josefina.

Best advice I've ever gotten: "'We all make mistakes,' Miss Dunn said. 'I suspect you've learned a lesson about friendship.  But you can't make things better by hiding in here.  You need to think about what you stand for and act on it.'"  Addy Learns a Lesson, Connie Porter

I love living here!  I can't really remember my old life, but life here is great!  There are a bunch of other dolls, plus two humans who love us and let us do all kinds of cool things.  Check out the bathtub Aighmi* got us!  I spend as much time in there as I can, washing off the dirt from the garden.

When I write, I think you'll know it's me, since I am the only Addy here!  But just to be on the safe side, I will always sign out, 

Your friend, 

Addy    

Hello From Us: Kit

Earlier this summer, Ruthie told MyLittleMegara that she had a very close Kit friend from the factory that she had been separated from when she was purchased. Ruthie had missed her friend a great deal and, after several weeks of looking, they found me on eBay! Ruthie and I were thrilled to be reunited and I've enjoyed getting to know the other dolls here as well.

Full Name: Margaret Mildred Kittredge. Yuck. Call me Kit.

Age: 10

I Like This Time Period: The 1930's. I love the courage and stick-to-it-ness that the people struggling during the Great Depression showed.

Hobbies: Writing, playing outside, spending time with my friends, and reading.

Three Words to Describe Me: Strong, creative, and trustworthy.

My Closest Friends: Ruthie and MyLittleMegara.

"Click, clack, clackety! Kit Kittredge smiled as she typed. She loved the sound the typewriter's keys made as they struck the paper and the ping! of the bell when she got to the end of a line. She loved the inky smell of the typewriter ribbon, and the way the black letters marched across a page, telling a story the way she wanted it told." - Meet Kit, Valerie Tripp

I really, really want to be a reporter when I grow up. I know that since I'm a doll, I never will grow up, but I like to practice anyway. Writing is my favorite thing to do in the whole world, so I'll probably be a frequent face on this blog.

When I finish a post, I'll end it with

Signed,

Kit Kittredge

Hello From Us: Samantha

After Isabelle, apparently, MyLittleMegara was perfectly set. No more AG dolls needed... or so she thought. My old human had decided she didn't want me any more and she took me to a thrift store. I was so sad, sitting on that shelf with a Josefina doll who snubbed me... until MyLittleMegara saw me. Now I have a new home with new sisters (including a Josefina who does not snub me!) and I couldn't be happier.

Full Name: Samantha Mary Parkington

Age: 9

I Like This Time Period: Victorian! I love the frilly fashions and furniture.

Hobbies: Playing the violin, climbing trees, playing with my sisters and my dog

Three Words to Describe Me: Nice, loyal, spontaneous

My Closest Friends: MyLittleMegara, Nellie, Aighmi*, Jip

"[Samantha] was angry now. She was very angry. And when Samantha was angry she was not likely to sit still." - Samantha Learns a Lesson, Susan S Adler

 

I like bright colors like purple and pink and I like to make music. I'm not very good at playing the violin yet, but Isabelle told me that when I get better she'd love to dance while I play it. I also like learning about Ancient Egypt and have ever since the first time I went to the museum.

I'm going to end my posts with

- Miss Samantha

Hello From Us: Isabelle

It was a long time before MyLittleMegara got another AG doll... almost three years, actually! She was happy with her six dolls and didn't even really have a want list. Then the GOTY 2014 was launched and she fell head over heels in love. Luckily, her grandparents came through once again and I was a very exciting birthday present.

Full Name: Isabelle Anne Palmer-Bjorgman

Age: 13

I Like This Time Period: Modern! I do like vintage inspired modern outfits... peter pan collars, stuff like that, but I'm happiest here, in the 2010's. I have been known to borrow a dress from Molly or Ruthie and pair it with sneakers and a jacket...

Hobbies: Sewing/ fashion design, dance, collecting Tangled memorabilia

Three Words to Describe Me: Passionate, creative, intelligent

My Closest Friends: MyLittleMegara, Wendy, Aighmi*

"When I opened the door, I felt as if I were stepping into a cave filled with treasure, like the one in the story 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.' Only instead of chests of gold coins and jewels, there was a whole wall filled with bolts of fabric in all sorts of colors and patterns." - Designs by Isabelle, Laurence Yep

As you've seen, I really, really like to sew. I actually made the overalls I'm wearing! They were really easy to make... I drafted the top, pocket, and straps and modified a pattern I got here for the shorts.

I probably will post style guides and things like that, which I will end with

To the stars,

***Isabelle

Hello From Us: Elizabeth

When MyLittleMegara got Wendy, she very nearly chose to ask for Elizabeth instead. Wendy came home instead of me and that ended up being wonderful because both of us are family members now.

Full Name: Elizabeth Constance Cole

Age: 12

I Like this Time Period: I love colonial dresses, but I also love Alice in Wonderland so the 1800's, I guess? But then I also love modern clothes... please, don't make me pick!

Hobbies: Figure skating, caring for my many cats, reading

Three Words to Describe Me: I can't possibly do this quickly... I'm an INFJ, and as such I am a walking contradiction and complication!

My Closest Friends: Josefina, my cats, and MyLittleMegara

"'Perhaps,' said Elizabeth, "But I like the way it is here, where people are independent and can work hard and make their lives better.'" - Very Funny, Elizabeth!, Valerie Tripp

I don't know if anybody reading this knows anything about the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) test, but I'm an INFJ. We are the most rare type, making less than 2% of the population and are somewhat complicated. Most people have a hard time understanding how our minds and hearts work, which is part of why it is so cheering to me to have a friend like Josefina. She does everything she can to make sure she understands how I'm feeling.

I probably won't post very often, but if I do I shall end with

Elizabeth

Hello From Us: Ruthie

MyLittleMegara hadn't been planning on getting any more AG dolls after Wendy. She had four and she liked them all very much. Then Kit's collection was expanded to include her best friend, and she couldn't resist the curly haired charms of the new doll. That was me... Ruthie!

Full Name: Ruth Ann Smithens

Age: 11

I Like This Time Period: Modern and the 1930's. Modern because of all of the fairy tale retellings we have now and the 1930's because of my stories and the fashions.

Hobbies: Watching movies, writing, dressing up, daydreaming, telling stories

Three Words to Describe Me: Generous, ladylike, romantic

My Closest Friends: Wendy, my twin; MyLittleMegara; and Coconut (the sweetest puppy ever!)

"Ruthie struggled to say what she had in her head. 'I don't really believe  that life always works out like fairy tales do,' she said slowly, 'and the wishes-come-true and the happy endings aren't the only reasons I like fairy tales. I like them because they show that no matter what happens to us, it's how we act along the way that matters. We still get to choose what kind of people we want to be.'" - Really Truly Ruthie, Valerie Tripp

My favorite color is purple. I like it for a lot of reasons, but one of the reasons is that traditionally, purple is the color of royalty. As you've seen, I like to pretend that I am a princess. My favorite princess is Snow White because we look similar and I admire her kindness.

Whenever I post, I will close with

Really Truly Ruthie <3

Hello From Us: Nellie

Hello, my name is Nellie.  I only recently moved here to live with Aighmi* & MyLittleMegara & their dolls.  This is a wonderful place to live!

Full Name: Nellie O'Malley

Age: 8

I Like This Time Period:  I am not sure.  I am most familiar with the early 1900s, but would be happy to learn more about this modern time, too.

Hobbies: Climbing trees, doing useful things and making crafts, and spending time with my new family.

Three Words to Describe Me: Curious, helpful, cheerful.

My Closest Friends: My heart sister Samantha, Aighmi*, and Aighmi*s Molly.

"I wish you could see me now, Mam, thought Nellie. You'd say I am the luckiest girl in the world." - Nellie's Promise, Valerie Tripp

I love to be outside!   You can see that from these pictures, of course.  If I can't be making something or helping someone, then I want to be up in a tree and enjoying fresh air.  I only just arrived here a few weeks ago, so I am still figuring everything out about this new world of mine.  It is such an exciting place, and I have already been on several adventures...and I can't wait to tell everyone all about them!

When I write, you will know, because I will proudly sign my name,

Nellie O'Malley

Hello From Us: Wendy

By the time Christmas 2007 rolled around, MyLittleMegara wanted a doll who looked like her. Not having a fair skinned curly haired brunette, I (MyAG #13) was chosen instead and I am certainly glad I was! It was so wonderful to be opened up that day and see her excited face.

Full Name: Wendy Natalie Smithens

Age: 11

I Like This Time Period: Modern. They didn't have glittery t-shirts in the 1600's, did they? I do like 1930's fashion as well.

Hobbies: Reading, fangirling (especially over Disney, Once Upon a Time, or anything Peter Pan related.) I used to do ballet and gymnastics  but I don't anymore. I'm sort of considering doing one of them again, though.

Three Words to Describe Me: Gentle, loving, kind

My Closest Friends: Ruthie (we're twins!) and Isabelle and MyLittleMegara and Sugar (my Yorkie.)

"Wendy had lived such a home life that to know fairies struck her as quite delightful. She poured out questions about them, to his surprise, for they were rather a nuisance to him, getting in his way and so on, and indeed he sometimes had to give them a hiding. Still, he liked them on the whole and he told her about the beginning of fairies." - Peter and Wendy, J M Barrie

I was named for Barrie's Wendy (well, really Disney's Wendy but they are very similar) so I suppose it's only natural that I love Peter Pan so much. I would really like to meet a fairy. I truly believe in them, even though some of my sisters *coughcoughJosefinacough* don't agree that they exist.

When I post, you'll see

Hugs and Kisses from Wendy

Hello From Us: Josefina

Aren't grandparents the best? I was purchased to be a decoration in MyLittleMegara's grandparents' home along with my table and food. They never did display me but soon I had a new human: MyLittleMegara.

Full Name: Josefina Maria Montoya

Age: 12

I Like This Time Period: Modern. I'm much more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than anything else.

Hobbies: Cooking, tennis, playing with my "sisters."

Three Words to Describe Me: Energetic, caring, tomboyish

My Closest Friends: MyLittleMegara, my pets, and (despite our differences) Elizabeth. my BFF

"Faster and faster she ran, out of the village, up the road to the ranch, toward the house, until she came to the orchard. She climbed up into her favorite apricot tree." - Happy Birthday, Josefina!, Valerie Tripp

I really, really like to cook. I think it's probably because I've always been around food, even when I was in storage at MyLittleMegara's grandparents' house. I also really like to play tennis. I'm not the best player in the world but I've really improved since I started playing around 4 years ago.

I probably won't post very often (I'd rather be outside than sitting in front of a computer) but when I do, you'll see

Adios!

Josefina M
