Needn’t worry fantastic moonbeams, I still love dollies, this is just kind of a *Change* post!
Boy have I grown since I started this blog. I remember me on my mom’s iPhone, taking blurry pictures of clay macaroons. That was my very first post. It’s been nearly two years, and blogging may have been the best thing to EVER happen to me.
BLOGGING HAS CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE. So Thank you Mya, Loren, Megan, Clara, Madi, Rutvi, Emma, Hannah, Jackylina, my family and friends, and every single agdollawesome, marvelous person who comments, follows, reads, and likes. I would never have made it this far without a single one of you.
Every comment left on this blog makes my day, every heart faced emoji puts a couple of hearts in my eyes. Because you love my content, and you have been for a very long time. But something has felt sort of off to me in these past two months.
My content hasn’t been very original, innovative, or quality.
As always, I LOVE making every post, seeing you guys enjoying it, but now and then I go to this whole new level of joy when I make a post, and now that 2017 is almost upon us, I want to embrace it. I want to go to that new feeling for every post. Every single one.
And that probably doesn’t mean posting every day. It might mean working on my post for a few days, and scheduling it, which I’m so excited to play around with.
I redid my whole doll space, and I realized how much I want this blog to be known for photo stories. I LOVE MAKING PHOTO STORIES!
I want to get Better at them, I want to make really, really, REALLY good ones, and hopefully this will happen. Over time. I’m kind of done with the photo shoots that take me 5 seconds to type up, I’m really done with my rushed photography.
I need to take my time if I want to get to my goal.
2017 seems to be the perfect time to do so. I filled up two pages with photo story ideas, two pages guys. Needless to say, I’m excited.
I’ll be 12, because TOMMOROW IS MY BIRTHDAY! I’m a whole ‘nother year older, and quite different from the 10 year old AG lover who posted on this blog 2 years ago. Because you know the story, a bored little AG fan on her spring break, wanting to show you how to make clay macarons for your dolls. My first photo story was basically a copy of a photo story that my favorite blogger, funwithagfan made. It was about the girl’s dog who had some chocolate and had to go to the vet. I also made a horrible one about Molly’s Birthday.
I remember my mom and I looking for AG bloggers to follow, and the first three of them I followed was the Doll Mag, Happyhouseofag, and Clarascraft corner, all three very great blogs.
I remember the rushed posts, and I really don’t want to do that any longer. As I said before, my priority shouldn’t be the quantity but the quality of my posts.
Boy did that sound more cheesy than it needed to. XD
I honestly don’t know where I was going with this post, all I know is that I most likely won’t be posting on my Birthday. I changed my dolls’ personalities, and
I changed Adaline back to Amelia, and to be honest, I’ve realised I’m not too great at series’.
Seriously, I have 5 unfinished series’. (If you go back in the endless archives..) So Mermaid Cove will not continue, but I will.
I will always continue.

Happy Birthday! I hear ya! I look back at my first posts and kind of cringe a little inside. LOL! I have also decided to post less and find quality over quantity. I agree with posting things that really make you excited, instead of just posting things because you haven’t posted in a while. Good luck on your new blog goals, and a happy new year to you! 🙂
