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 PenarejoNia 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! :)

American Girl Order {woot, woot}

Hey everyone! It's Skye here, and I ordered a few things from American Girl! The package should be here in about six days. I just ordered a couple of items, but I'm still really excited!
Cecile's Special Dress - $28
My dolls were in need of a Christmas dress, and this is just so adorable! Plus, this'll be my first Historical outfit!
Snowflake Pajamas - $24
When I found out AG didn't retire this, I was ecstatic! It's so pretty! My dad thought the colors were bland, but I think it looks fine. :) I'm sure this'll look great on Ellie, who is a My American Girl 28.

Christmas Movie in the process!

Hello, people! It's Skye here, and I have an epical update! A Christmas movie is in the process! It's inspired by Eloise in the Plaza/Eloise at Christmastime, which are two of the most wonderful movies on earth. Eloise is so cute! Oh, and expect Olivia playing multiple characters (probably three or four.. XD), lots of Christmas music, and pink Christmas trees.  Hopefully, I can get Domo to bring her doll, Julie. I'm thinking maybe a SUPER-LONG video, maybe twenty minutes tops, separated into multiple parts, and 100% stopmotion. Maybe four parts? I don't think it;s ever happened in AGTube, so I'll be sure to keep an open mind. :)
