Christmas presents
Now Playing: My dad on the phone.

Hullo!!!!

Well, right now in Pleasantville the latest "Pleasantville Lady" has been released, and Cristal and Lisa both bought compies as soon as the newspaper was done being printed.  This issue is all about decorating for Christmas and fashionable christmas traditions to do.

We would have recorded a nafycast on saturday, but the nafycast subscription sight isn't working because, Greta has to renew her subscription or something, so the next nafycast will probably be delayed a bit.

Peder and Britta have the shivers right now because they both fell into the waterfall, so Josefina is at their house giving them hot baths.

The men just had a poker party at the Grumpy troll a few nights ago, and John won one game and Tomas and Andres won all of the other ones. =)

I am going to work on a lot of Christmas presents this afternoon ,because Greta and Willow will be out of the house at a chamber music workshop for five hours! Hehehe...... ;)

You might be wondering, "Why are you getting ready for Christmas already?" The reason is that pretty much when December hits we won't be around the house very much, because we play for a lot of Christmas parties in December and things, so that's why we are plunging into Christmas already. =)

We also are thinking about starting to work on a new CD too, so that should be fun.

Well, talk to you all later!

Christmas is coming!!!
Hello!!!!!

Yes! It is officially OK to start listening to Christmas music! Yay!!!

I can't wait to start setting up all of the doll Christmas trees. Today is Teresa Berg's birthday. =) She is celebrating today by playing dolls and helping Louisa bake her birthday cake.

We just got back late last night from Ocean Shores, and so I slept in pretty late, lol.
This summer was really hectic and we were not at home very much, so now is the time that all of us have been waiting for. Because, there is a good sized break between now and December, that we can really work on things in Pleasantville.
I'm soooo excited!!!!
Willow and Nafy are working on editing Nafy's next blog right now which should be up on youtube sometime this week.
Well, that's it for now!
See ya'll next week!

Hello!

I just finished eating breakfast, and I am going to write my blog before we record a new nafycast. =)

The Masked Ball is finished!  It was a great success and everything went perfect, except that Suzanne now has a bad case of poison ivy.  There was a poison ivy plant at the ball, and now Suzanne is worried that other people in Pleasantville may have touched the plant.

The Larson's farm endured a tornado while they were at the ball, so they are working on cleaning up the farm, and preparing for winter.

Well, I'll talk to you all next week!

Happy early Halloween!

Getting ready for the Masked Ball

Hellooooooo!

I just finished making 22 lemons along with 41 carrots and a lot more doll food.  The reason for this is because Mrs. Wickon is making 52 dishes of food for her banquet at the Masked Ball.  Luckily the food stand did have 303 tomatos and 328 onions, so I didn't have to make any.  Can you tell that Suzanne likes Italian cooking? ;) 

Now that all the food is made Suzanne is going to start cooking.  This year instead of a Chinese theme, the banquet is going Dutch.  Mrs. Wickon has ordered many cartons of Karnemelk and other Dutch specialities for the occasion.

Samantha and Felicity are doing a mad dash right now, to finish their new ballgowns in two days.  (They started yesterday). 

Unfortunitaly, Suzanne and Cristal had an arguement last night.  Cristal said that Polly should dress up as a sockhopping Gramma.  Suzanne replied,"Ohhh..... so what is Kathrine dressing up as, a SKUNK??"  They said that they would never ever speek to each other again, but everyone in Pleasantville knows that this is just an everyday normality. =)

Well, Adios!!

I'm in Georgia!!
Now Playing: Nickle Creek- "This Side"

Hi there!

I'm in Georgia right now, and it is very humid and hot!!!!

We are doing some shows here, at the Georgia National Fair for five days.  The people here are really nice and doing shows here has been a blast. =)

We've been eating at Cracker Barrel a lot lately, and there is this really fun game on each table to play while you wait for your food.  We are planning on making a mini one for the Larson's.

I'm really excited about the masked ball when we get back; there is a lot that needs to be done first but the outcome is always worth it. =)

Well, ttyl!

Fall has arrived!
Mood:  hungry
Now Playing: Silence

Hello, hello, hello!!!

My, my it's been a while.  Lots of fun stuff has happened lately!

First of all Nafy just shot her second video blog, and she is going to start editing it as soon as she can.  Yay!  I love Nafy's blogs!

Lisa got her ballgown in the mail today from Miss Cristal's Fashions.  She was incredibly excited and kept pestering Laura to do the mail so that she could get her package.  It's gorgeous!  It's all black with a large bow at the shoulder and various ruffles and beads all over the place.  It came with a fashionable black silk handbag that ties around the wrist.  Lisa spent a long time gazing at herself in the mirror, and it took a lot of effort to take the dress off when she needed to return to work.

 Clara is all ready for fall!  Her sweetshop is completely decorated, and there are ghosts and spiders and jack 'O lanterns all over her shop.  The smells of fresh caramel apples and pumpkin pies are wafting all around town square, enticing costumers to stop inside her shop.

The taxes for the town are due this month and everyone is getting out their checkbooks and sending off massive amounts of money to the Parkingtons.

Josefina has a slight cold, but Ana is fixing her up and right now she's steaming in a hot bath with Heather giving her a back massage.  That sounds pretty good right now!

The Larsons and the Atonmys are getting ready for the winter, stacking their firewood piles and their hay, and making sure that their houses (and teepees), are going to stand up all through the winter.

That's pretty much it for Pleasantville!  Everyone is getting out their fall decorations, jumping in piles of leaves, and getting ready for the Masked Ball.

I have a cold right now. =( Kleenex has become my best friend lately. Not.  I've been doing a lot of school work to get ready for my upcoming home school test, and I just got my music for orchestra, so I've been working on that too.

We just got back from Wisconsin two days ago!  I really enjoyed doing some shows out there even though we were just there for one day.  Now we are working on getting our shows ready for Georgia , and planning our next CD's.

Right now my mom is reading a book on the couch, Willow's working on Cristal's new ball gown, and Greta's updating the website. 

That's it for now! ttfn,

Hello!!!!!!!!!

It's been a looong time since I blogged!  The Montoya walls are up! Hurray!!!!  

And there is a picture of their Grand Sala fireplace on the front page of the website right now.  It looks so neat!

Life has been very busy lately, but we still find time to play dolls in there somewhere.

We are working on recording a special Nafycast right now, but it probably won't be up for a while because it is going to be extra special so it will take longer than normal.

I think you'll be surprised!

 Also we are working on that surprise that we told you we were doing before we left for our tour.  

That project will take a while, but I can't wait for you guys to see it!

Also, Greta has been posting new videos of our shows on youtube a lot so you should go see them sometime.

And I am soooo excited about the new video blog!  It's going to be a lot of fun!  

Please leave a comment!  I love checking all of the videos for new comments.

 

Well, the Merriman's just got a new shipment of fabrics, lace, feathers, household objects, and other trinkets, so they have been busy setting up their store.

The Montoya's are all moved in now and Ana has set up her house in the goatshed, until she and Tomas can build themselves their own Rancho.

That's it! ttyl,

Little Norway
Now Playing: Greta and my mom chatting

Today we are in Wisconsin!

We did a little bit of sight seeing today and went to a place called little Norway.

It was really cute! There were a bunch of buildings that were great examples for the Larson's farm. 

At the gift shop we got a wild goat for the Larson's farm that is going to be called billy and will probably have fun eating all of the Larson's hay and vegetables. Also we found some clogs that are perfect for Mrs. Larson! I got some raspberry filled cookies for myself as well.

I've really been missing the dolls lately, but it's fun when we have conversations with the dolls even though they aren't here with us.

For example on the way to breakfast today, Suzanne, Sonja, and Cristal were arguing about what heritage they were from, and who should be queen of which countrys.

In the end Sonja decided she would be the queen of Russia, Suzanne of Italy, and Cristal would be queen of Polland.

Today we spent a lot of time figuring out how to change some of our shows around and now we are going to settle down and watch a road to Avonlea.

Also we came up with a few more ideas for our next CD that I'm really excited about! ( We are already thinking ahead! lol)

Well I should probably go, but I'll talk to all of you later!

1 last day!!!!
Mood:  not sure
Now Playing: Willow packing stuff in the living room.

Hello!

Today is our last day at home before we leave on the train tomorrow for 5 weeks!

I'm really excited but also kind of sad because I have to say goodbye to my dad today because he is going to stay home during the trip.

Last night we mock packed everything that we are going to bring to see if we could carry everything. It worked but we could only move a foot or so each so we are doing some more re-packing today.

Also Greta has a laptop this year, yay!!!!!!!!!! That means I can get on on the computer and go on the Ourdolls message board and stuff in hotel rooms!!!

It also is going to be very hard not to be able to play dolls for five weeks...... eeeeeeps!!!!

Also, Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Leaving in eight days!

Hi!

Ahhhh! We leave in eight days!!!!!! I can't believe how long we are going to be gone, I'm going to miss all of the dolls soooo much. 

5 weeks seems like a really looooong time to me; I've never been away from home for that long.

Well the fun doll thing that Greta mentioned we were doing on Friday was a great success and all of you on the website will only have to wait a month or so to find out what we are talking about.

Yesterday we cleaned up all of the doll houses so that when we get back from our trip they will all be clean. In town right now Angelica is on a jog and just met up with Laura who was practicing soccer.

Cristal is having tea with Kathrine and they are both enjoying eating small raspberry cakes and talking about what a perfect family they have.

Sonja is having tea with Suzanne because when she went over to Cristal's, she got sick of hearing Cristal call Kathrine the perfect little sister. 

Well, I should probably go, ttyl!
