World by Girls Contest

Dear Readers, 

American Girl was holding a contest from this past November to January. It was all about creating a place for girls, somewhere that is for girls by girls.  Pretty much anything that would make the world a better place. All you had to do was write a paragraph about your place in the world and draw a picture or make a sculpture, etc.  

American Girl was going to choose 3 grand prize winners and 30 first prize winners.  I thought that it would be fun to enter, even though I was pretty sure I wouldn't get a prize. 

Anyway, I decided I wanted to enter so I did some brain storming and came up with a pretty good idea. I drew a picture of a movie theater with a separate room for every girl in the world.  I wrote about it as well. I won't go into detail though, because it would probably be kind of boring. 

On February 20th (I think that was the date) we got a call from American Girl saying I had won one of the 30 prizes!  I was so excited!  I had not expected that at all!  If you would like to see the three grand prize winners and the names of all the other girls who won just click on the link below!

I'm sure you are getting just a little bit curious as to what I won.   So now I'll tell you, or should I say show you? 



Meet Estella!  She is our newest doll!  I was allowed to choose any American Girl Truly Me doll!  I chose her mostly because of her hair.  It is super curly and  kind of textured.  Her skin is a beautiful shade of caramel.  She is one of the most gorgeous dolls I have ever seen!  

Well, there you go!  Thank you American Girl for this fun opportunity!  

Love, 
Pip

What Tech Week Looks Like + SURPRISES and Disappointments

Image
Hey Guys! I’m really sorry.  I haven’t posted in quite a while, but I was very busy.  For now, let’s catch up on what been happening in this crazy life of mine, starting with tech week.    August 7 th This was our first day of tech week.  People always complain about it, because the cast doesn’t do much.  Just the crew.  But personally, I enjoy it the most.  Getting to the theatre, finding places for our costumes and filming.  Everything was great.  My favorite part was a little adventure after dinner…  Almost everyone was still eating, but I wanted to finish early and do my makeup in the dressing room.  After that I decided to join everyone again.  Out on stage I met up with two of my castmates.  Let’s call them Caleb and Blake.  I really wanted to go exploring the building, but not alone so the three of us went together.  First, we found some random rooms, ...

I'm Finally Back + Exciting News

Image via Pinterest Hey Everyone! I seem to have taken a brief (but much needed) blogging hiatus.  I was feeling a little discouraged and uninspired.  This time has helped me to refresh my mind while coming up with tons to talk about in upcoming posts.  And now, even when I finally post again, it's just a short one.   But   one filled with an exciting announcement...  I checked my number of followers sometime last week.  It was a measly 21.   This was the beginning of my blog burnout .  I was feeling discouraged.  On Saturday I checked my stats, and I had an amazing 90 followers!  It's amazing that people actually want to read my writing.  People all over the place are going to read these words I write. This afternoon I checked my stats and  literally squealed .  I now have  a gigantic 222 followers!   I don't know where all of this traffic come from, but I'm not complaining! As a ...

Friendship Day + What My Closest Friends Taught Me

Image
Hello! How are you?  I still can’t believe it’s August.  I know I haven't been posting often, but I've been very busy.  Guess what?  Tomorrow is National Friendship Day!  I really wanted to do a post about it, but I'm trying to stick to my blog schedule, so I compromised and posted it today.     My friends have taught me lots of things .  Sometimes I’ve gotten a little bugged with them, and sometimes I’ve tried their patience.  But not matter what, we stick together.  Here are a few things I’ve learned from my three closest friends. Lolly (because who is a better friend than my sister?) Stand up for yourself.   Don’t ever let people walk all over you.  If they don’t care about you, then there is no reason to care about them. You are safe.  God will always protect you.  You are loved, and there is nothing that can change that. It’s okay to cry.  Just don’t lose hope....
