Hello, readers!
     Autumn is drawing to a close. Pretty amazing, huh? I feel like it just started. Anyway... here is a photoshoot of me enjoying the last remnants of Fall. :)

     Have a lovely day, ya'll! :)

P.S. You may choose multiple answers for this one. ;)

Our First Blogiversary

Hello, everyone!
     This post is a little late, but we're going to put it up here anyway. A few weeks ago, on November 20th, we celebrated our first blogiversary! Journal of Two Dolls has officially existed for a year. (More than a year now, actually.)
     Let's look back to the beginning, when we were just starting out.

Here's a link to our first post.

Well, needless to say, we've changed quite a bit since then...

Not the best photography. ;)

Remember when Sylvia did her first sewing project?

And our first Christmas? (On this blog, of course.)

Then, the arrival of Saige...

...and Caroline.

Now, here we are... December, 2015.

     Thank you, readers, for sticking with us throughout this year, commenting on our posts, and encouraging us to continue on! We couldn't have done it without you. :)

     Have a lovely day!

-Kirsten, Sylvia, Saige, & Caroline

GOTY Poll #9

Hello, readers!

     We hope you all had a fantastic, gratitude-filled Thanksgiving. :) Now it's time for the next GOTY Poll! Between the colors green and turquoise, the winner was...

Turquoise!

It won with fourteen votes, beating out green by six points.

     The next poll will determine what our GOTY's favorite hobby will be. There are literally thousands of hobbies out there, so this will be set up a bit differently. Instead of voting on an actual poll this week, tell us in the comments what you think her favorite hobby should be. At the end of the week, we'll pick five or six of our favorites and set them up on the sidebar for you to vote on. Hopefully that all makes sense! :)

     Have fun and be creative!

GOTY Poll #8 - Extended

Hello, readers!
     Well, what do you know, but we currently have a tie in the latest GOTY poll! Turquoise and Green both have nine votes each. So we're going to put a tiny poll out there for this week: just green and turquoise. Hopefully you'll be able to decide between the two. :)

GOTY Poll #8

Hello, readers!
     The polls just keep coming and coming, don't they? ;) Let's check out the results from last week. Out of all the eyebrow styles, the winner was...

Feathered!

It won with a total of fifteen votes.

     So far, our imaginary GOTY doll has: 

~The Marie Grace facemold

~Medium skin

~Aquamarine eyes

~Feathered eyebrows

~Black, wavy, waist-length hair

     We have officially graduated from Appearance Polls to Personality Polls! This means that the rest of the polls were determine our GOTY's personality. 

     So, what is this girl's favorite color? Check back next week for the results!

Kirsten's Hair Treatment

Hello, everybody!
     Yesterday, Mom decided that it was time to give Kirsten's hair some attention. It was rather frizzy, dry, and still had some strange waves in it from her original braids. Mom's friend Julia Grace had recently sent her a video by CraftsAdore on how to fix such hair, so she gave it a try.
     Here are the results!

Before...

...and after!

     Mom also trimmed off some of Kirsten's dry ends. Now her hair is straight, smooth, and soft again! She would totally recommend this treatment to any straight-haired doll.

     Have a lovely day!

Green Floral Happiness

Hey, readers! Sylvia here.
     I don't know about you, but I love the color green. It's one of my favorites. And I love floral fabric, too. So when you have green floral fabric sewn into an adorable tank top, you have a very happy Sylvia on your hands! :)
     Here's a photoshoot of Caroline to help you share my happiness. ;) Enjoy!

     Have a lovely, happy, green-floral-ish kind of day! :)

-Sylvia

P.S. This is Kirsten. I do not know what a green-floral-ish day is, so do not feel obligated to have one. Perhaps Sylvia has been writing poetry lately. That's when she starts inventing things of this sort. ;)

GOTY Poll #7

Hello, everyone!
     Thank you for your patience, and it's now time for the next GOTY Poll! Before we begin, let's review the results of poll #6. Between the options of Freckles or No Freckles, you chose...

No Freckles!

Here's a nice picture of Caroline to illustrate.

She most certainly has no freckles.

   The next poll in our series will determine eyebrow style. Now, it may be strange to you that we notice this sort of thing, but there are actually five eyebrow styles: Single Line, Feathered, Josefina, Kaya, and Grace Thomas! (The eyebrow style in the above picture is Feathered.)

     So have fun voting, and be sure to check back next week for Poll #8! :)
