Craft Time With Natalie and Saige!

Natalie and Saige here!
     Before we start, everyone at Emily and Friends wishes Saige a super happy belated birthday!!! 
     Thanks! So we have an idea for a new series of posts here, called "Craft Time With Natalie and Saige!". It's a pretty self-explanatory series. 
     What Saige is trying to tell you is that we are starting a crafting series! We've been feeling like, SUPER CRAFTY since we got back from camp in July, but we just can't think of any good crafts! 
     So we need your suggestions! Anything would be a big help. We're thinking of fall/halloween/thanksgiving crafts for right now. We would even accept winter crafts, too!
     You can leave us a comment or email us your suggestions/requests (You could also email us just to say hi!). Just tell us your craft request and if you want us to write your name at the beginning of the post. Example: This craft was requested by DollLover42003! 
     Which would be cool because then our other readers could be like "Woah he/she made an awesome request!"
      By the way, if 2 people suggest the same craft, we'll use both names in the introduction :)
     So that's pretty much it! Thanks for reading and don't forget to request/suggest a craft!
     
     Natalie
     Saige

P.S.- Our email is emilyandthedolls@gmail.com, for those who feel like emailing us.

Happy Birthday Emily!!

Saige here!
     It's Emily's birthday today! We had a little party for her. We all put some money towards getting her a gift, and we got her a little plush dog. A short explanation of doll birthdays are in order, so here it goes! 

     Doll birthdays vary from owner to owner, this is how our owner has set up birthdays for us. Doll birthdays are pretty much the same as human birthdays. We celebrate living another year, just like humans do, and we have parties, too! The only real difference is that we don't age like humans. Our owner just chooses an age for us when she receives us, and that's our age forever. Emily, Natalie, and I are 13 years old, and we'll stay like that. 

     Thats all for now!

A Post Featuring Many Updates

Greetings from Emily!
    Before I start, I have a very important update. We have updated our blog, so we now have a new, easier to read font; and font colors! We've updated our old posts, too. I've color-coded the posts according to who's writing. I (Emily) post in black ink. Taylor posts in pink ink. Saige posts in blue ink, and Natalie posts in purple ink. Back to my post!

      Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that we haven't posted in a while! We've been SUPER BUSY lately! While we were gone, a lot of stuff happened, like......

     OUR OWNER'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! All of the dolls chipped in some money to buy her a mini Kirsten doll! Yay! She's been wanting a mini doll for a while...We were going to do a post on it, but we got too busy :P



     It was also Taylor's birthday! She shares a birthday with our owner, August 30th. We got her a pearl necklace.


     We're starting school on Monday! We go to Maple Meadows Doll School. Some of us are not as excited as others...

     Also, BeForever has launched. I know that we don't sound excited, but we are... It's just a big change to get used to. Our owner just wants a 1950s BeForever doll. Or for American Girl to bring Kirsten out of the archives like they did with Samantha. Maybe next year....

     Another reason that we haven't posted in a while is that we've been feeling crafty lately, but we don't know what to make! We'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to have your suggestions! If you have an idea, just tell us in the comments, please! Natalie and Saige have been wanting to do some crafts ever since they got back from camp. They got to work in the craft cabin!

     We just made a survey! You can find it at the top of the page. Click on where it says "Help us improve our blog, please!", and click on the link there. Thanks!

     Well, that's pretty much all that's happened during our break! Remember to leave some comments and/or take our survey to tell us your craft/future post suggestions!

Return of The Campers- A Photostory!

Natalie here!!
     HEY GUYS!!! I've missed seeing all of you! Well, not seeing all of you, but you know what I mean. Anyways, I am so happy to be back from camp! I was told when I got home that I was supposed to put together the first ever photostory for the blog, so I will. This is....

The (Very Short) Story of What Happened When I Got Back From Camp

Saige and I were packing up our belongings at Camp Little Lake, when the camp director, Abigail, told us to finish up so we could load our stuff onto the bus. We got onto the bus, and we left camp.




The bus driver dropped us off at home. The first thing that we saw when we walked into the door was Emily and Taylor holding up a big sign that said "WELCOME HOME!".






When we put down our bags, Taylor ran over and gave me a big hug.




Once I managed to shake Taylor off of me, I put my clothes into the washing machine and headed upstairs. When I got upstairs, I took a well-deserved bath. Camp is dirty!




When I was finished, Saige took a bath while I took my clothes out of the dryer (Emily switched my clothes around) and put them away. After I unpacked, I took a looong nap.





THE END

Thanks for reading!

Natalie

P.S.- Sorry this is late! Friday was SUPER busy 'cause I had just gotten back from camp; and yesterday I was still fixing the photos for this post.

7 More Days!

Greetings from Taylor!
     Guess what?! Natalie and Saige are coming home in 7 more days! WOO HOO!! We got another letter today; this one's from Saige:

Hey Emily and Taylor!
     Saige here! Camp is so awesome! It's hard to believe that it's over next Friday... I'm going to miss it here a lot :( I really can't wait to see you guys!! Maybe Natalie and I will post one or two of the crafts that we did there on the blog. The camp director, Abigail is super nice! Did Natalie tell you that we have to have silly counselor names? My nickname is Sparky and Natalie's nickname is Green bean. We can't tell the campers our actual names; it's so hard to not call Natalie by her real name! Some of the other counselor's nicknames are Bubbles, Mittens, Ninja, Spill, and Dill (Spill and Dill are identical twins so it's super hard to tell them apart! I called Spill Dill, and I called Dill Spill for the first 2 weeks!). We have free time every Saturday and Sunday because campers arrive every week on Monday, and they leave every Friday. 
See you on Friday!
Saige (A.K.A. Sparky)

     So hopefully we can do a photostory on Friday showing when Natalie and Saige come home, but our camera isn't particularly nice. It's actually our owner's laptop! She has a camera but nobody can find the cord that connects it to the computer so we don't take very many pictures. That's the reason that we haven't done any photostories yet! Do you think that our laptop takes good enough pictures for us to do a photostory? Tell us in the comments please! That would be awesome :)

Bye!
Taylor
