Blog-gy Stuff!

Have you ever felt like you should be doing something more productive than what you're doing right now? I have. I mean, it's a Saturday morning. What are you even supposed to do on Saturday mornings? I know, I know. I should be working on the biography I have yet to read, or maybe the article for the school newspaper I have yet to write.
But here I am, writing on my blog.
Well I haven't posted in the longest time, and whether you watch my YouTube videos or not, I hope this post will be entertaining. Or interesting. Or maybe even helpful. So I'll be trying to jam-pack everything I can into this one post. Hip hip hooray.
So number one. I'll probably change the layout/design of this website. I don't know, it just seems too crammed and I've also gotten a bit tired of the background.
Number two. I almost have THREE. HUNDRED. FIFTY. subscribers on my YouTube channel, 347 currently. I would be absolutely ecstatic if I could reach my year's goal of 350! Here is a link to my YouTube channel, if you want to check that out. I don't post that much anymore, but I really would like  to. I'm hoping I'll have enough time this weekend to film a new baking stopmotion, as suggested by izzydog158.
Number three. Cupcakes. Robots. Olivia (aka Olivia's blog) is kind of dead, and I've decided not to use it anymore. I don't know, it might come back, but it just wasn't really going anywhere, and besides, I don't think anyone really liked it all that much. :P Although, good news -- I did decide to create a new blog called the dolls have the phonebox. It has different characters, for example Olivia plays a girl called Elune Sinclaire. That was just so that the blog wouldn't be the exact same thing CRO was, and also so that I could have some more fun writing about it. (So basically, TDHTP is about a girl named Elune, but it's just for the sake of the blog. The doll's actual name is Olivia.)
And now on over to number four. I've been extremely.extremely.extremely. busy at school! I have a lot of homework everyday, and also am part of the journalism club, so that's one reason I don't have much time to make videos or post or whatever.
Alriiight. Number five already. Woohoo! Okay, so lastly, I wanted to talk about the Christmas AnGels videos. It's a project by Ali, girloftheyearstudios, where Ali uses the money gained from her YouTube partnership to donate dolls to underprivileged girls!
Here's the links to the four adorable videos she made.
Hungry but Not Hopeless
Charlie Clause
Thank You Class
Once in a Lifetime
Just by sharing them and watch them, you can help sponsor the project without having to donate any money! YAY! :D Feel good without having to actually use any of your money. If you would like to donate, however, she has a feature on her blog where you can donate money to help.

Well..that's all! BYE! :D

Rawan's Innerstar U Code Giveaway

Hello everyone! It's Skye here, and I have some awesome news. Rawan from Viviness and AG is giving away a free Innerstar U code on her blog for sixty followers!
So head on over to her blog to enter!

Forget...or Protest. XD

Hello everyone! :D It's me, Skye, and I have some pretty awful news that you probably already know. YouTube (along with Twitter, Google, Facebook, Tumblr, & Flickr) may be shut down due to two bills that the Congress are trying to get passed. It's about internet piracy -- not privacy -- & the bills are kinda freaking me out, so I hope SOPA/PIPA don't get passed!

McKenna?

So I've been having tons of problems while brainstorming for videos, especially a series, because what type of show can you make with two dolls? Well, not the best series. So I'm not allowed to get any dolls (anymore anyway..), unless of course if I win McKenna from Liberty Jane Clothing. So you probably also want to win McKenna, I mean who wouldn't? A doll for free? If I do win McKenna, I'll most likely name her Amelia Jessica Pond. (Catch my epically nerdy Doctor Who reference?) But I shouldn't get my hopes too high because I saw quite a few awesome sketches.

Girl of the Year 2012... REVEALED!

It's the moment all of us AG fanatics have been waiting for... GOTY 2012 revealed!
AG revealed her name on their celebration cruise. Her name is McKenna! Just how I thought it would be. Who's the clever one now, buddy? XD

EPPPPP! Oh my gosh. :O

Hello everyone. Today, I'm going to tell you a story.

So I'm on chenpanhome's channel to check out a few Uncharted episodes. As I scroll down the video bar, I see a playlist of her favorite videos. I take a glance, and see that she favorited one of my videos! She favorited my tutorial on how to make spectrespecs for dolls. I didn't even know she was aware I existed!

So Emmalee, if you're reading this, thanks immensely! And I'm really glad to know that you've been informed of my existence on this planet.

Okay, well that wasn't exactly a story, but it was actually more like a dream come true. :) Whatever, I'm super excited and that's all that really matters (I sound so conceded >.<). Once again, thanks so much, Emmalee!

Girl of the Year 2012 Spoilers!

So we're all excited about finding out who American Girl's GOTY 2012 will be, so here's a collection of what we know so far. Please note that this information may not be accurate.

Name - American Girl is currently using the name 'Velma' to cover up for the doll's real name. In order for AG to make a new character, they would first have to trademark the doll's name. AG has currently trademarked the names Caroline, Saba, McKenna, and Teagan. It will most likely be one of those names because I would expect AG to plan early instead of trademarking a name late.

Personality & Appearance/ Movie - GOTY 2012 will most likely be a gymnast. On AG's website, it says that you'll do cartwheels & that you'll flip for the debut of the new GOTY. Also, on Nia Vardolos's twitter, she posted a picture of herself with Olympic Gymnast, Cathy Rigby, and Mary Casanova, who co-wrote Cecile & Marie-Grace's books and has been said to write both of GOTY 2012's books. Nia put as a caption she was on the 'American Girl Set' so there will most likely be a movie. Jade Pettyjohn, will apparently play 'Velma'. Also in the movie's cast is Ysa Penarejo, Nia Vardalos, Ian Ziering, Kerris Dorsey, Will Woytowich, Kadence Kendall Roach, and Paiten Raine Roach.

Story - According to Doll Diaries, here is GOTY 2012's storyline.
Velma is a wonderfully sprited, strong-willed gymnast with Olympic aspirations, whose whole world comes crashing down when she is unexpectedly sidelined by an injury. Unfocused, with her grades slipping, she meets a tutor 'Jane' and learns a few choice life lessons about what really matters.

So as you can see, I'm super pumped up for the release of the new Girl of the Year 2012! :)
