Today, I got back from Hotel Le Crystal. :( I wanted to stay in Hotel Le Crystal, :P. But my favorite part besides the hotel was....... CHINATOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D Chinatown is cool. :D :D I got the Anne books Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea. Oh and btw,


All my Anne movies we bought came today!!!!!!! :D Right now I'm watching Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story. I just finished The Sequel, it seemed to take FOREVER...... :P


In other news, I got a doll-sized disco ball, which was originally $4.00. But we got lucky, it was 75% off. I'm on like page 51 in the Anne of Green Gables book, its not going along very quickly...... :/ :P

My Question!

Hi, :D.
Does anybody want to try to solve a mystery? :D

If you do, try to find a certain thing in this blog and in the post you are reading when you notice it, write a comment, like:


I'm pretty sure this is the thing in the blog you said we can search for.

It'll be hidden in my blog somewhere, but I won't help you find it! Whoever finds it will have their user name in Blogger in the "Winning Post"I'll do. The Winning Post will say you found it.

I'll make it now. :D

Earning Money Tips

I have tips to earn money. They are:

Get a job. You can get a job like pet-sitting for somebody, etc. If they say they'll hire you, that's a good sign.

Clean up (AKA getting money for chores).Get money for doing chores, like:

• Making dinner

Cleaning up your room (not fun! :(

That's pretty much all. Bye!


Oh wait, I have lots more.
Tari just got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Hey bloggers that read!!! It's Tari writing a note for Samantha to read.

Samantha,

You're asked to star in the movie "My years, my life" BY THE DOLLS. I think you'll have the part of Lulu (AKA Lucinda) who is Zoey's (Emily stars as Zoey) sister and best friend. Their mom is Molly. Mia is both their younger sisters (Mia plays Jessie, the younger sister of Zoey and Lulu) and Nellie stars as the oldest sister, Kay. Kirsten says she'll be Lacy, the youngest sister of the Kinglion family. The Kinglions rolls are:

Lulu Kinglions- You
Zoey Kinglions- Emily
Jessie Kinglions- Mia
Ms. Kinglions- Molly
Lacy Kinglions- Kirsten
Kay Kinglions- Nellie

The big, happy rolls of the Kinglions!

Sincerely,
Tari

Hey its me.

Hey guys!

It's me!! Tari got a doll (not AG) in the mail from her grandma. What should her name be? Charlotte Lacy? Lacy Charlotte? She's way older than me (She is in gonna be in 8th grade at a school like mine.


Her hair came in a hairnet and surprisingly straight through all that tough and rough shipping. She has blondish-brownish hair and blue eyes. She looks almost like a "Kathrine" or an "Alexandra". She comes in a very, very fancy dress that's blue with lots and tons of lacy lace. There's like three layers of fancy dress!!!!! Oh, Tari heard that she was her grandma's before too. I wonder if she had a name then...... then her middle name will be Charlotte Lacy. Her last name is something like

MY REVIEWES FOR MY COUSINS/FRIENDS!!!!!

This is my review for the couisins (also friends) I have that never get annoying, angry, or sick!


Molly. I rate her ***** stars because:

She is shy, but looks like a ME with grayish-blue eyes and lighter hair. She is a nice little girl who risks doing things that she doesn't want to do. She is my age. She is the older sister of LJ. She's always cute and nice. She was Tari's first doll. (AG doll).
Nellie. I rate her ***** stars because:
She is sooooo nice like everybody I know. She has very, very bright blue eyes and hopes to become a teacher for 5th grade. She is very cute, too. I have to say, she would make an excellent teacher and is a 100% student, who always gets good grades, clues to 5th Grade! She was Tari's third AG doll. I hope she'll be my teacher in 5thb grade!!!!
Mia. I rate her ***** stars because:
Oh my gosh, she's soooo nice and brave!!!! (Like everybody I know, LOL!). She's also cute. She helps teach, she's really smart (like everybody I know, LOL!). She's a really good friend (like everybody I know, LOL once again!). She was Tari's second AG doll.
ME. I rate me ***** because:
I ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! (Like everybody I know.) I Like Myself aLot!!!!!!!!!! I ROCK!!!!!!!!!! That's all about me. Tari was lucky enough to get me for Christmas, in 2008 along Em and Kristabelle.
Kirsten. (also called Kristabelle). I rate her ***** stars because:
She's soooooooo nice. And a good friend.She likes meeting new friends (like everybody I know!).She's a good choice for friends (like everybody I know).
Emily. (also called Em). I rate her ***** stars because:

All of the other reasons I like my other friends!!!!!!!! THEY ALL ROCK!!!!!!!!!

My school project=

study for something (about something). I'll study about ME, that's always good, right? Molly is studying to be a better dentist, Emily is studying on Irish dancing, Kirsten is studying about Addy's time period, Mia is studying on penguins & polar bears, and Nellie choosing now.


Oh, yes, she's decided to study American Girl. Tari is the principal of our school. She sent me a letter:

Hi Samantha,
YOU are chosen to (as your other five cousins) to:

1. Choose a topic of your choice to study on and read about.
2. Study, study, study! You'll have to record your facts and studying onto your blog or website or OpenOffice or Word or something.
3. Make a rough draft! Check yourself by doing SelfEditing, an important skill.
4. After you make changes for the better, you will make a fancy, complicated final draft.
5. You'll have to practice presenting it after you type up your final draft. Use your friends and family as audience.
6. Go to warm-up practice after school once you and all your cousins are done and stretch and rest.
7. Practice there and tell yourself NOT to be nervous.
8. Read over your report not to be nervous you'll read wrong.
9. Stand in line and relax.
10. PERFORM!!!! Be excited, be happy, don't be nervous! Be relaxed!

There are a lot of steps, but if you are a winner (top winner) then you'll get to move of to your next Grade (you're currently on Winners Level on Fourth Grade) and you'll win to Beginning Level, Grade Five.
You may be nervous if you don't win, but don't be! Don't be upset because you'll move up there (if you don't win) in a month or so. Here's your current scores for reading:

Reading Dec. 2008: 98%, fine and skilled, best level to be on.
Reading Jan. 2009: Perfect and lovely! Very, very fine and skilled. You have improved by 2%!
Reading Feb. 2009: Even better than Jan.! But I guess that the month isn't over, and you can't get any higher than 100% if you ask the contest judges.

There is a big chance you'll move to the start of Grade Five. You have been doing very, VERY well in the Woodsweet Private school as long as I've had you as a student.




That's all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I win REALLY, really badly.

hi, i'm happy to c u.


OK, I usually don't write like that! LOL Hi but so far AG is still retiring me. :P :p I gotta go. Bye!

My Retirement, by Samantha Parkington

In October 2008, American Girl said their choice, a retirement choice, to retire me and my friend, Nellie. I know most girls don't like it, neither do I. This means that I, the very me, and my friend Nellie are going to be sent to this place called the 'American Girl Archives.' While the dolls of me and Nellie, are accessories, clothing, and furniture are going to the 'American Girl Archives,' you may think, "What's gonna happen to the mini dolls, books, and the dvd/video?" Well, I know, they aren't going anywhere. You may think this is odd, but really everybody must think that. It is unknown if the dolls will ever come out after being Archived. I think we must have AG rethink this.


The green words are written in green to show that they are trademarked names. The red words are written in red to show that they are very important to this paragraph/draft.

Here are some more facts:

"archive" Samantha's entire collection......"
Sold out on Feb 3, 2009. It is unknown if Samantha and Nellie will ever be available after the archiving.




I'm gonna make a rough draft soon. I'll edit myself.

Here's a FACT:
With the exception of books and the Mini Dolls.

This is a cut-away fact. Not a complete fact.

Next FACT:

They are being put away for an unknown number of years.

This is also a cut-away fact.

Enough for now.

Hi! Re: Post on my retirement! :(

Okay,
So I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. Here's the note :( AG sent about me and Nellie's retirement:

Dear Samantha™ Fan,

We’re writing with important news about an American Girl original, Samantha Parkington®. As one of her biggest fans, we wanted you to be among the first to know that soon, Samantha’s complete collection—including Nellie® and her accessories—will be moving into the American Girl Archives™.

While Samantha has been one of American Girl’s most popular historical characters since her introduction in 1986, we felt the timing was right to preserve her place in American Girl’s history, making it possible to introduce new characters and time periods for our customers to enjoy.

Starting today, we’re inviting American Girl fans to share their favorite Samantha memories (see below) as a way of commemorating Samantha and the impact she’s had on girls for more than 22 years. Whether it’s remembering your beloved Samantha doll or an important lesson learned from her books, we want to hear your story.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating Samantha! Watch for more information via our catalogues or at americangirl.com. In the meantime, don’t miss the opportunity to purchase items from Samantha’s collection before it’s too late. Thank you again for your continued support.

Sincerely,

American Girl
P.S. Though Samantha will soon be moving into the American Girl Archives, her stories will live on! You’ll continue to find Samantha books at americangirl.com, at American Girl stores, and at booksellers nationwide.

Yes, it's a problem! Send lots of emails complaining to AG at:

service@americangirl.com

If you have an online petition you can copy and paste all the comments along with the petition url (or link!) to AG, and call and write to them! We HAVE to stop this! American Girl really needs to think this over! I don't want to go! Oh, and if you have some questions on my retirement, well, Tari emailed AG and got answers! Here they are:

Q: Are the Samantha games going to stay?

A: They are going to stay. They will be on a part of americangirl.com called the American Girl Archives, where you can read a part of her book and buy the Samantha and Nellie mini dolls.

Okay, those aren't really SOME questions, just an answer to one.

You can sign this petition:

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/DontRetireSamantha

*We have to do something!*

* One way dolls can help is by making signs that say things like "Don't Retire Samantha!", "Save Samantha and Nellie!", and, for Sam and Nellie dolls.....

"I don't wanna GO!!!!!!!!!!!"

* For girls.....

. Email AG, complaining about this problem

. If you're older, you can maybe call AG (IDK their number)

. Sign and create petitions, JUST to save us!

. Write letters, like.....

Dear American Girl,

I understand you would like to make room for new dolls, but I think Samantha is a valuable historical, one that should be kept.

Sincerely,

Amy P.

or something like that.I just thought up the name Amy P., which I'm sure is taken or used.

I'll be back in a while. I'm researching news that I'll post here on my retirement for a school project.

I'll post it here.
