April Annie Give-Away
Gosh!!! Finally! And I say that because I couldn't get online last night after school or this morning! I was starting to freak out! I know I promised ya'll that I would post my doll give-away on Wednesday night...but I couldn't help it...it was out of my hands! Darn Verizon!
So....here she is.....in honor of my son's 11th Birthday...just like last year....I am doing a give-away!
All you have to do to win this lil 11" cutie is leave me a comment telling me you want her!!! No fancy tricks..just a lil comment! Make me feel LOVED! LOL
Can you believe I am still alive after the sleepover? It was fun and crazy! I sent the hubby packing LOLOL I told him that he shouldn't stay here.....he had to work the next day and if he wanted any sleep he better find another place to sleep! So he did. I went to bed about 10:30 ish....and I heard lots of wild and crazy things going on...but no one came to me with any emergencies...so I just let them have fun! I think the BEST part of it was the very beginning when I picked them all up from school!!!!
I had a van FULL of kids! And they were blarring the music very loud and they were all singing! So cute! Don't worry...they all had seatbelts on...even though this pictures looks like they don't.....I took this picture right when we got home...I had totally forgot my camera...so pulled up to the house..told them all to stay put..that I would be right back!!! LOLOL Right when we got home...the Ice Cream man was coming around...and Christopher had some birthday money....so he bought everyone an ice cream. Very sweet of him!
We played a cute game of where you hide a piece of bubble gum in a plate of whip cream. I thought it would be hard for them to find the gum...but they were very quick...but....did have struggles getting the gum chewed and blown into a bubble (which was the object of the game). This is the cutest picture!!!!
But.....silly me..what was I thinking? It never even crossed my mind that when the game was over that they would shove the plates into each others faces!!!!! Silly me!
After I went to bed.....I did get up several times and check on them....half of them were asleep when I woke up at 3am. (ignore the mess)
2 were still awake when I got back up at 5:30am!!!! And one of them had to get up and leave by 7:30!!!! I woke up again at 6am and I was going to make him go to sleep...and get atleast an hour of sleep...but both were asleep this time!
I made them pancakes in the morning....started cleaning up....rolling up their sleeping bags...parents started picking up around 10ish...and I had the house clean by noon! And I still had the rest of the weekend since I did this on Friday night! GREAT decision!!!!
I finished up MOST of my orders...and they are in the mail...only a couple more (plus some new ones) and I did even put a couple of dolls on my website!
I know this post was long...and you've probably forgotten in all my rambling on that there is a give-away...so don't forget to leave me a comment!!!!!
Have a great day everyone!
Wierd... my comment is gone!!??
Hmm no matter what, I think your dolls are SO amazing!! If i can't win... maybe we should do a trade some day? ;);)
Remember to relax!!! ;)

Hi Nicole! I just love tiny Annie and I love your blog. I just found it several days ago and I am enjoying all the fun! I too had a sleepover this past weekend but it was 16 year old girls for my darling 16 year old (on the 25th) Caroline. She would love to get this as a special reminder of her special day. (I guess I would share with her!) Thanks for all of the joy!

Hi Nicole! I would love to win this little cutie for my grand daughter Jadyn! I know that she would hug and love on her and put her in her little stroller to push around the house and outside now that it's finally getting a little warm here in OHIO. LOL
If you would put my name in.....I would really and truly appreciate it! And thank you for doing this!

Your little Annie is just as cute as can be. She is just the right size for a 2 year old and up. I have 4 little grandaughters. I keep my home-made dolls that I made ,out for them to play with when they visit me. I also love making my own dolls.Love your patterns. Hope to start making some of your Annie's soon for birthday gifts! Bonnie in Tx.

Sheesh! It looks like my long comment just vanished! I would love to own that Annie. She is adorable- just like all of your Annies.
I enjoyed your post about the sleepover. My sons are both in college now, but they still enjoy having all night parties with groups of their friends. These days they are much louder.And they make a bigger mess and eat much more food! But I always enjoy the extra activity. And sometimes they even let me play rock band with them.(But only because I know the older songs well enough to sing them on hard.Lol!)
