Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!! Today was exciting and full of happiness and family.

I woke up this morning and ran to the living room to find all kinds of presents under the tree.

My stocking was hanging nearby. I always open my stocking first, because I'm normally awake before Skye, and I'm not allowed to start opening my presents under the tree before she's there to watch.

A chocolate truffle and bunny keychain were sticking out of the top!

I turned my stocking upside down and out fell lots of chocolates and a new pair of crafting scissors!

Once Skye was finally awake, coffee in hand, I was allowed to start opening my gifts. I chose this little one with the cute bears on it first!

I tore open the paper and...

...it was a pretty purple shirt! Purple is one of my favorite colors.

My next two gifts were these books--A Tolkien Treasury and a book called Happiness full of Hello Kitty pictures! You can never have too many books.

After that, I opened these ADORABLE pajama pants!! 

Look how cute the little kitties are! My brother thought they were rabbits, but I think they look more like cats. What do you think?

I grabbed the big bag and pulled out the tissue paper.

It was perfume! Recently, I've been really into sniffing the perfume samples in fashion magazines. I think they're so neat! Now I have my very own bottle I can sniff all I want. Look at how elegant the bottle is! 

My last gift was a perfect square. I tore off the paper and saw...

...it was a box from Liberty Jane! One of my all-time favorite places to get clothes and patterns!

I gently opened the box and pulled out this gorgeous pair of purple floral Janes! I can't wait to wear them around! They'll match my new purple shirt perfectly.

This Christmas was really fun. I hope everyone had a peaceful, joy-filled day. I'm so grateful for all my family, friends, and followers! Thank you to all that read my posts and enjoy them. How was your day? Did you get any cool gifts?

Feature Friday--Laughing Spirit!

Hey everyone! Another Feature Friday, coming your way! This week, my friend Laughing Spirit!

She is a Penobscot Native American, and is from the 1600s!

Her hair is so long and silky! I wish I could have braids that long (and perfect!)


The detail on her dress is so pretty!



 I love this picture of her!



Laughing Spirit is quiet, but very kind. She is also super good at identifying animal tracks, and can outrun me in a race easily (She doesn't like to brag, though!) She has a little sister who is really nice, too! I love having so many friends.

Feature Friday--Lilly!

Hello everyone! Sorry these posts are always so late; technically, it's Saturday! Anywho, in an attempt to continue the tradition, I'll be featuring my friend Lilly this Friday (or Saturday, if you prefer.)

Lilly is a time-traveler, so she has been to a lot of different time periods and played different characters. 

I'm so jealous of her freckles!! I've always thought they were super cute. :) She's really good at a lot of different accents, and knows multiple languages, too! 

She has even perfected countless different personalities in order to play a convincing role in the time she's in!


The Lilly I know is so smart, well-educated, and considerate of others.

I think it's remarkable that I get to know such a cool person!

Lilly is really fun to just sit down and have a conversation with. She has so many different stories from all the situations she's been in, and I love to learn about history and culture through her first hand experiences. Do you have any friends that have lots of good stories?

Feature Friday--Addy!

Greetings, internet pals! This week, I'll be featuring my friend Addy! She arrived at the Midcoast MTTB in the summer of 2013, and we've been good friends ever since!

Her Christmas dress is so pretty--I have to see if I can convince her to let me wear it next year! ;)

Addy is so nice. She's so kind and always willing to help or give me advice! 

Her hair also braids so nicely. I wish my hair was that thick!

And on top of all that, she escaped slavery during the Civil War! How brave is that? I really admire her courage and optimism. 



Addy is amazing, and I'm so glad I got to feature her this Friday! I'm lucky to get to know people from other times and backgrounds. Who'd have thought I'd have a friend who lived through the Civil War? :D
