Just a little movie of me!

My grandmother wanted to film me, so here I am.

I feel a little shy.  What do you think?

DAD SENT A PRESENT FROM JAPAN!!!

Dad sent me a present from Japan.  He said he would send something for Nancy as well.  He sent us both Kimono!  I thought that they were called kimonos in plural, but Dad said that it is still Kimono.  And we have special ones called Furisode.  It is a special kimono for unmarried girls.  Kimono are made from one bolt of cloth and are a robe with a sash called an obi.  It feels kind of funny, but only because we are not used to it.  They are comfortable, though.  And so beautiful!  There is even a pouch in the sleeve that I can put small items in.  I don't need a purse!!!  Dad said to make sure we tie the obi in the back and not in the front.  I love the pink and doesn't Nancy look lovely in the red?

It came finally!!!

My mother sent me a dress from China!  Isn’t it pretty?  It is silk and satin.  My mother is in China for a conference and had a little of shopping time.  What is your most favorite outfit?  Tell me about it.

An Olympic Surprise!

My dad sent a package!!!  He is in London now and is seeing a bit of the Olympics.  He sent a nice surprise to me and I enclosed a picture of Nancy and myself wearing the presents.  I wish we could be in England as well, but wearing shirts that came from Great Britain is almost as good....who am I kidding?  I would still love to be in England and see the Olympics.  Dad is going to Skype me tomorrow about it.

Got a THEME!!!

OMG, Nancy and I were talking and we said we both liked Steampunk!!  OMG, what an idea for a theme for the bedroom.  A room done all in Steampunk!  Brass and wood and Victorian accents!  We are going to look through our attics and try to find used items to decorate my room. 

Have you seen the Steampunk laptop?  It is so kewl!!!  http://www.datamancer.net/
I will do the room in wonderful things.  Look around and give me some ideas!

trying to decide a theme

Nancy and I went shopping (did I tell you about my bestest Nancy?).  My grandparents said I could look for new furniture, but that they suggested second hand or possibly reusing furniture that we had at home.  I wanted to look at new furniture to give me some ideas.

We found this funky chest of drawers that has a safari feel to it.  What do you think about this and a complete African theme with fake fur and maybe a drum nightstand?  Or it could even be maybe a rock theme?

Or this....an Asian theme with very minimalistic furnishings?

Or this one?  I could do a complete Parisian theme with an Eiffel Tower painted on a wall and maybe even a mural of fancy shops and an outdoor cafe?

What do you think?  Give me ideas!!!!  How would you like to redecorate your room?

Love,

I am getting my room redecorated

Oh, my gosh.  Grandpa and Grandma said I could redecorate my room.  I am not sure what I am going to do!  We have the old wallpaper off and the primer put on, but I am not sure what I am going to do.  What do you suggest?  Pink?  Purple?  Black with glitter?  Flowers?  Guitars?  Maybe a Parisian theme?  Give me some clues on what to do.  Thankfully, my friend Nancy is going to help.  We are going shopping.

Who would like a shout out?  Give me a click and I will shout out the next time I post.  Maybe by then, I will have replaced the old princess castle bed that had belonged to my older cousin.  I have so outgrown that.  Well, maybe not being a princess.
