-Going adventures even though I'm afraid
-Being a risk-taker because I have friends by my side
-Solving real life mysteries that seem like they belong in books
-Writing so many books at a time I sometimes get confused when someone mentions one of them
-Going to camp for the first time ever and having so much fun
-Meeting wonderful/mean people

AND OF COURSE, I THANK YOU GIRLS, BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE  SO WONDERUFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.P.S. Look out for some late Christmas photostories! And comment and help Alyssa pick what jacket she should take to................... well go find out for yourself!

Surprise from Alyssa

Hi happy people!
It's Alyssa here and I have something to tell you all!!!
I, Alyssa Mikayla Cranterberry am going on a adventure!!!!!!!!!!













Yup! I'm going on a cruise ship to London! The ship goes from Miami to London, stays there for 3 days and then comes back to Miami, where I will go in an airplane to Sunnyside! In case you don't know, my family lives in Sunnyside (it's a very small,  pretty village).
So, Julie is the traveler in our family, and when Natalia said one of us could go to London, she was thrilled! She has been to China, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, France (not Paris though) but dreamed of going to London! When Chrissa and Hannah said they were okay with staying, only me and Julie were left to go. Natalia said that Julie always goes places, so she said I could go!!!!!!!!!!!! Julie says I have to send her a postcard though! Lol
So I thought I could share with you what I'm taking and things like that! You are lucky because on my iphone I have blogger, so Natalia said I can post whenever I want to! :D
So here is a pic of all that I am taking in my duffle bag!














So from top to bottom, left to right.
1 row: Water bottle, passport, airplane ticket, a few dollars to buy things in the plane (all things bought in the ship go to the price of my ticket for the cruise)
2 row: Ipod with earphones, GPS, bubbly cola drink, pack with British money
3 row: Debit card and metro ticket, deck of playing cards, iphone, map of London
Not shown: Pack with hair things

Here are the things that are going in my suitcase!
















A pink tunic, my nightgown and slippers, a skirt and shirt and a jacket and the outfit I'm wearing now(the shoes on the first picture are the shoes I'll be wearing all the time) I am also bringing a pair of jeans and a white tank top but Julie is wearing them now so I can't show you. Now I need your help. I am taking a sweater with me and a jacket, but I don't know which jacket to take. Here is a review of both!













Here is the first jacket (I tucked the cardigan in). It is a purple(my favorite color) thick, woolly jacket, that is very warm. It has two pockets and keeps anyone who is wearing cozy. Although it is warm, it isn't good against rain, because it does tend to get wet. It also has the old old old logo of american girl, which is the colorful girl pic thingy.















(Sorry, I look kind of creepy the lighting was weird). This is the second jacket. It's a very pretty shade of blue and you put it over your head. It also has a zipper. In the front there is a big pocket, which would be handy for when I don't carry my duffle bag. This jacket is good in the rain, because it is water proof and it is also a good wind breaker (I heard it rains a lot in London). I just don't like it because it is kind of chilly, not cozy like the other one.


So, which one should I take???????????????????? PLEASE COMMENT BELOW AND TELL ME WHICH ONE YOU THINK I SHOULD TAKE!!!!!!!!














I thought I should share this funny pic of me closing my suitcase. I couldn't close the small thing!!!!!!! Lol :D


Love ya guys, and I can't wait for more of my adventure!

Peace, love, surf and have fun!
Alyssa

Adorable back braid hairstyle and, MORE HELP

Hi everyone! So, please comment below on the post below because I need help! Also, does anyone know how to make, like a tear while doing a stop motion???? And also, how do you photoshop a doll onto another picture, NOT using photoshop? Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a easy, five minute hairstyle that will spice up any outfit!!!!!!! ENJOY! (Sorry about the constant change of lighting, I was experimenting with my new camera)

How to: Make this adorable hairstyle!





What you will need:
About 2 little hair clips (Just in case)
A doll brush
Two doll hairbands (Just in case)



Step 1
Gather an inch of your dolls hair from the left side, when she's facing you.









Step 2.
Separate it into four parts:
One of the side parts make very thin, and clip it away.
Then separate the rest into three parts, and braid. Then put a hairband on the braid.
















Step 3
Now you have a few choices. The remaining part you can twirl, leave the way it is, or if you know how, braid the small part. If you braid it, leave about a inch of the hair from the bottom NOT braided.
With Julie I braided it, but you can do whatever you want













Step 4.
Wrap the braided, twirled or normal piece of hair around the braid, and then secure it into the hairband, making sure that it's in tight. You can leave as much space as you want in between each wrap. (You can't see it in the picture but it shows up in real life)













Step 5.
Flip the braid back so it's on the back of your dolls head, and secure it with a hair clip.














Step 6.
Take about a inch or so of you dolls hair from each side and brush it out. Leave it in the front and put the rest of your dolls hair in the back.













Ta daaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This hairstyle works on short haired dolls too, but I don't know if it will work on super short haired dolls like Kit, or the Mag with brown hair and side bangs. But go ahead and try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also the outfit's the girls are wearing are the ones my mom made me for Christmas!













So, one of my late X-mas packages arrived today, with the doll travel kit and the Mckenna movie!

I will do a review of both maybe tomorrow!

Love,

Natalia, Julie and Alyssa
