Linda’s Family Tree: Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Over the next several days, Linda’s family tree grew to fill her entire poster. Nonna was thrilled with the task and and spent her evenings with Linda checking through her old letters and photographs for names and dates. Nonna was still strict and sometimes quiet and distant, but she at least seemed…
Linda’s Family Tree: Chapter 3
Chapter 3 The first week of school passed quickly, and Linda found herself wishing that each school day would go slower. The evenings Linda passed with Nonna were becoming less and less bearable as Nonna became grouchier and more impossible to please. After thirty painful minutes of voice lesson, Nonna would retreat to…
Linda’s Family Tree: Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Linda woke the next morning to the miserable sound of mewing coming from the garage. Mom had agreed that Mittens could stay there until they could come up with a better idea. Mom had to work and Joey had a paper route, so Linda was under strict instructions to help Nonna get…
Linda’s Family Tree: Chapter 1
When I “created” my dolls Linda and Susan to be friends with Molly and Emily, I knew it was important to me that they have “meet” story to go along with them like all of the other best friend characters made by AG. I have finished writing Linda’s and am excited to share it with my readers!…

Happy Birthday Molly!
Today is Molly’s birthday! I love the book Happy Birthday Molly, mainly because it is the only one of her central series that features Emily. Emily gives Molly a bit of the reality check she needs, which makes for a good story. Have fun celebrating today, all of you Molly and Emily fans!
Josefina’s Fancy Dress
Happy birthday (yesterday) to my little sister! Nothing says “I’m entering my twenties” quite like receiving the gift of an American Girl doll! 🙂 My mom actually won a Josefina lot on eBay a few months ago, and since she already has the doll, she decided to save her for my sister’s birthday and keep the…
April Showers…
Responsible dog owners always walk their dogs, even when ominous gray clouds loom overhead, so today Molly set out with Bennett hoping to avoid the rain. Bennett scampered and frolicked, excited to be outside, until… Was that a raindrop Molly felt? It was, and Bennett refused to take a step further. Molly tried to pull…
Susan’s Meet Outfit
I have finally finished Susan’s “meet”outfit based on the illustrations in Molly’s book series. I took some liberties, so it’s not exactly like the illustrations, but I did base my design off of the pictures. This is the “Meet Molly” illustration from which I drew my inspiration. I think these three best friends look so…
