hi I'm alive :)

Wow, is this possible? I'm actually POSTING?
Okay let's all just establish that I'm really not going to have frequent posts until christmas break (WHICH IS ON FRIDAY AHH) honestly I hate writing apology posts, I have way to many of them anyway, so…

~

Yay, I have new photos! Actually they're very old photos from October that I never ended up posting oops.
In August my mom dug out her old Nikon D70. She got a new camera about a year ago and said I could use her old one! So I tried to be a professional photographer and played around with the camera controls. Turns out I'm not very good at being a professional photographer and that's why a couple of these photos turned out looking over saturated. Heh heh.

^ see it's pink ^ 

yep that's all :) There were more but these were my favorites. 

I also updated the girls' profiles and the about me page if you'd like to check that out ^-^

*Started by Stargirl* 

dear m,
I'm pretty sure you stole my sweater in third grade. I would really like it back please.

dear e,
okay first of all yoU ARE FABULOUS and thanks for buying me cookies during play practice when I didn't have money. I still have to repay you, sorry 'bout that. heehee.

dear gym class,
can we move past the fact that I'm bad at basketball and soccer and kickball and pretty much all the other sports?

dear dad,
thanks for picking me up after play practice and teaching me how to play bass guitar. You're amazing.

dear w,
*casually strums tennis racket like a guitar* "WE ARE THE FAILURES!" Also I love your rants during lunch, and I still have our powerpoint from fourth grade.

dear math teacher,
you sort of scare me. When you're sitting at your desk and creepily watching everyone take your quizzes...it's sort of freaky. Just saying. Also, you cannot teach. You never explain anything correctly.

dear mom,
thanks for making waffles in the morning and giving great advice. Love ya <33

dear christmas,
please, oh please get here faster. I have a tree to decorate and carols to sing and two weeks off from school. And if it doesn't snow this year…

dear taylor swift,
NEVER STOP BEING PERFECT

dear cafe near my school,
your cookies are wonderful. Like really wonderful. But your sandwiches need more mayonnaise.

dear every single person who has ever watched me eat a sandwich,
sTOP JUDGING ME FOR LIKING MAYONNAISE there are enough of those people in this world. I just really don't like dry bread.

dear computer,
there should be a way to reopen tabs. 'Cause lets be honest, we all close tabs and then forget how to find them and get really mad because we liked that website. Just some advice.

dear diet coke company,
I don't drink diet coke, but I'd really appreciate it if you made a "share a diet coke with CHARLOTTE" can. That would be cool. Thanks.

dear h,
WE ARE DOING MORE PHOTOBOOTHS OKAY?! okay. And can you teach me how to play soccer? Or, make contact with the ball? Great, thanks. :)

~

oh hey, remember me??

I'm so sorry, I meant to post, but…let's just blame school, okay? I'm getting tired of writing post after post apologizing for not posting, so I'm just giving you a heads up; if I don't post, I'm sorry, but it's probably because I have absolutely NO TIME.

SevenLittleDaisies Photography Challenge - round one

Hello everyone! I received two results for the SevenLittleDaisies Photography Challenge, and I'm really excited to share them with you. The theme for this round was "friendship".

First up, we have Allie D. from Spreading My Joy! If you haven't already, check out her blog here. 

Next we have Mira, from Days of Dollight! "One of the best things about friendship is the fact that your friends are always willing to listen to you! (Even when you jabber on and on and on…)" 

If you'd like to enter for round two, the theme is black and white. You must have a blog, youtube, google+, instagram, or any form of social media to enter, and you MUST send me your photo via email (sevenlittledaisiess@gmail.com). I will not post email addresses. Anyone can enter round two by October 25th. 

Tell me in the comments which picture was your favorite, and thank you Allie and Mira for entering! (originally for this contest I was going to eliminate the picture with the least amount of votes, but I have decided against that. This is just for fun.) 

Charlotte 

Who am I?

Hello everyone.
Lately I've been thinking you guys don't really know me. Like, you know that my name is Charlotte and I love dolls, but that's it.
That's going to change today.

{So, yes, this will still be a mainly doll blog, but every so often I'll pop behind the screen with some random post. }

Anyways.
while writing this post I found out I hate talking about myself is that weird
-I have a huge passion for writing
-my favorite color is yellow
-I will eat anything chocolate
-my birthday is May 20th
-I love rain
-I'm seriously obsessed with Taylor Swift
-books. yup.
-my fav animal is a dog
-I actually have a dog. His name is Sailor and he is the most precious thing on earth
-my dream vacation is Paris. Mostly because of the food  I love the language but the food's really good too
-weekends are just pajama days for me

SO YEAH. I KNOW THAT'S ONLY 11 FACTS BUT IT'S ENOUGH

xo Charlotte

Hi…can we talk?

Let's talk, everyone.
I'm known to be a very long talker. I talk and talk and talk and talk. But I won't bore you with that today.
Would you guys hate me if I started posting more than my dolls? Like, my dolls don't write the posts, I do? Or if I shared a little more of my personal life with you?

I'm honestly just trying to figure everything out.
I feel like so many people are leaving. Some people don't get the respect they deserve. Or don't feel needed.
I've been there. Not on my blog, but in regular life.
And it sucks.

When I started this blog, I didn't realize how difficult it was for some people to fit in. Tons of people who I admired got hate on their blogs. Their blogs. 
And I've gotten hate on mine, too.
I've received a few rude emails. Not enough to brag about, but. Still.
I've found that I don't really care. People can hate all they want.
*sings* HATERS GONNA HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE!
Anyway.

I draw the line when people start leaving because they're hurt.
I can't stand seeing people upset.
It really ticks me off that some people - several people - don't post because of the haters.
Because of social bullying.

My blog is a safe place. I do not tolerate hate. And that goes to my blogger friends, as well. If you think you can get away with hating on my friends - you're so wrong.

I don't want to start a fight.

I don't want to get involved.

I just want to blog about my dolls. I didn't think that was so wrong.

Because apparently it is.

This is not about me. This is about my fellow bloggers.
You can send me rude emails, type obnoxious comments, unfollow me. But not on other blogs.

Just stop.

I don't understand why anyone would give other people a hard time. Don't you understand that, behind those screens, there are living beings? Living beings with feelings?

UGH.

I don't want to get involved. But I have to.
I have to make it stop. Or at least try.

Congrats if you've read it this far! Here's a celebratory photo for you. :)

Please keep in mind what I've said.
And for the people who are leaving; it's your choice. I'm not here to change your mind. That's not the point of this post. Maybe you're sick of blogging or have no time.

To the haters: BACK OFF.
There are fabulous people out there just doing there thing, and then you have to go and ruin it. On my blog, it's fine. But quit hurting my friends.

Have a lovely day, and I will try to post more often. Stay fabulous.

xo,
Charlotte

Complicated

Uh-huh, life's like this

Uh-huh, uh-huh, that's the way it is 

Chill out, what're you yelling for?

Lay back, it's all been done before. 

And if you could only let it be

You will see

I like you the way you are

When we're drivin' in your car 

And you're talking to me one on one

But you've become

Somebody else 'round everyone else

You're watching your back like you can't relax

You're trying to be cool

You look like a fool to me...

Tell me

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? 

I see the way your acting like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this you

You fall and you crawl and you break 

And you take what you get and turn it into honesty

You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it.

No, no, no

THE EIGHTH SISTER

Hey guys! It's Charlotte here, with some super exciting news. In a couple of days, I will be releasing my new series, "The Eighth Sister". I'm seriously SO excited! I have been planning this series for so long and I can't wait to release it. I cannot give an exact releasing date, but look out for it on my youtube. 

Here's a little sneak peek:

A Day With Bella

Hi all, Kit here! Long time no blog. Since the rest of the girls were at camp today, Bella and I got to hang out for the afternoon.

"I can't believe you've never ridden a scooter before!" I laughed as I helped Bella get on. 

"I know, I know. I've just never had the opportunity to learn before!" she smiled. 

"Don't worry, I'll be here every step of the way," I assured her.  

"Put your hands there to steer, and then kick off." I said, showing Bella where to put her hands and feet. 

"Thanks!" she replied happily. 

"You're doing it!" I let go of the handlebars after guiding her down the street for some time.

"I'm doing it - I'm doing it!!" Bella squealed. 

In all the excitement, neither one of us noticed where Bella was heading - straight for a rock! 

"Look out!" I yelled, but it was too late. 

Bella crashed to the ground, face-first. 

"Ow." I heard her say. 

"Let me help you up," I said, rushing over. 

"Thanks," Bella replied, dusting herself off. "Now c'mon, help me get back on!"

"The only way for me to learn is to try again!" she laughed as I helped her onto the scooter. 

I was a little surprised, considering scootering isn't typically one of Bella's favorite pastimes, but I admired her determination. By the end of the day, she was nearly a pro! 

We walked back to our house and sat down on the bench, talking and laughing. 

Until next time! :)

10 Summer Activities

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I probably won't be posting much anymore - but don't worry, I'm not leaving! I found a love for making videos and will be more active on my youtube then here. But I'll still post once in a while! I just wanted to let you guys know I'm not leaving anytime soon and I'll be here for a long time, just more on my youtube. Thanks so much for all of your support; I love you guys. :)

Happy (late) 4th of July!!

Hi everyone, it's Caroline here! Happy late 4th of July!! I love the 4th of July, especially the fireworks. Watching them burst in the air into a million sparkles is incredible. :) 

I mean, just look at that!

While I tried to get some other pictures last night, it was too dark and they didn't turn out so well. However, I did take some photos this morning in front of our GIANT flag! Enjoy!

Love,

Caroline

P.S. 20 FOLLOWERS?! Thank you guys so much!

No, I did NOT fall off the face of the earth.

2 WEEKS? I HAVEN'T POSTED FOR 2 WEEKS?!

Hi guys! Charlotte here, with a quick update. As you might've noticed, I haven't been posting a lot lately. Sorry 'bout that.

EXCUSES:
My computer is currently out of space, so I can't upload any new photos…However I am getting that fixed and I should have something up soon! :)
I was also in NY and got to go to rockstar13studios' meet up! It was so much fun and I will hopefully have the video up.
I have been going to a day camp since I got back from NY which takes up a lot of my time.
I also been filming a LOT - I have tons of videos for my youtube in progress.


Also, as you may have noticed, I have a new blog design. I for one, love it! Anyway, at the bottom of the posts there are the little buttons to share on twitter, Facebook, pinterest, etc. But over the buttons is this weird writing…I don't know what it is, or how to get rid of it, so you can just ignore it.

Well, that's the update!

IN SUMMER!

Hey guys, Caroline here! Guess what? We are out of school!! I can't wait for our yearbooks to arrive--but I'm more excited for all the things we'll do this summer. :) To celebrate, enjoy these pictures:

Bee's will buzz, 

Kids'll blow dandelion fuzz, 

And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer. 

A drink in my hand, 

My snow up against the burning sand, 

Probably getting gorgeously tanned in summer! 

I'll finally see a summer breeze

Blow away a winter storm!

And find out what happens to solid water

When it gets warm… 

And I can't wait to see

What my buddies all think of me. 

Just imagine how much cooler I'll be

In summer! 

Da da da doo

A buh buh buh buh buh boo doo

The hot and the cold are both so intense, 

Put 'em together; it just makes sense!

Rat dat dat dat dat dat dat da da da doo doo 

Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle,

But put me in summer and I'll be a--

Happy snowman!

When life gets rough I like to hold on to my dreams, 

Relaxing in the summer sun,

Just letting off steam!

Oh the sky will be blue,

And you guys'll be there too!!

When I finally do what frozen things do

In summer! 

Kristoff: I'm going to tell him.

Anna: Don't you dare!

Olaf: IN SUMMER!!!

What are you doing this summer? 

-Caroline
