Thank You
It's award season and the blog awards are out there too. Sharing the love and encouraging those just starting out. All awards come with an interview; blog awards tie everything together in one spot.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Claire, Marisa, M, AGDTime for nominating Tea Time With Melody Q for this award. We've learned a lot about you in reading the answers to the questions you were given. We've put all your questions together (there were a few duplicates) and answered them here:
|
1. Do you prefer reading an actual paper book or a
book on a device?
|
Both,
but books over eReaders because there are no batteries to run out.
|
|
2. Do you prefer baking cupcakes or eating them?
|
Just
can’t decide on this one…both.
|
|
3. Do you prefer doing someone else's hair or
yourself?

My
own.

|
4. Winter or Summer?
|
Summer
|
|
5. Spring or Fall?
|
Fall
|
|
6. Nature or electronics?
|
Interesting.
Nature, but when I think about doing without some of our modern conveniences…electronics.
|
|
7. Lengthy books or short books?
|
Depends
on the book. Some long ones are so good they feel short and some short ones
seem to take forever to read.
|
|
8. Spiders or bugs?
|
I
guess bugs. There are more of those that I won’t run from.
|
|
9. Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
|
Chocolate
|
|
10. Swimming or Ice skating?

|
12. When did you start blogging?
|
January
2013
|
|
13. What made you want to start a blog?
|
My
friend, Hannah O, had a great blog and introduced me to Doll Diaries. I had
some great fashion pictures I had taken of Melody and thought I could put
them to good use.
|
|
14. What is your favorite doll?
|
American
Girl
|
|
15. What doll do you want next?
|
A
Hearts4Hearts…either Tipi or Mosi.
|
|
16. What doll should AG make next? (Like traits of a
doll that you'd like, hair color/length, eyes, face mold, etc.)
|
I’m
not as familiar with the different face molds, but I’d like to see a Marie-Grace
face mold with light skin; long, wavy, dark red hair with Lanie’s style bangs;
a smattering of freckles; and green eyes.
|
|
17. How many blogs do you currently contribute to?
|
Two.
|
|
18. Do you plan to start any more blogs?
|
No,
between the blog writing, reading, and updating facebook…that’s enough.
|
|
19. Where is your favorite place to photograph your
dolls?

The
front porch has great light all day long. Soft in the morning and bright in
the afternoon.
|
|
20. How good do you think you are at taking doll
photos? Why?
|
Not
quite a beginner, but still a novice. Just check out Clarisse’s Closet or
Dolly Dorm Diaries or Doll Diaries…those are the pros.
|
|
21. Will you ever "grow out of" dolls? Why/
why not?
|
Nope…because
age wise I have already passed that time when many put away their dolls. I
never did, so I can’t see it happening now.
|
|
22. Do you prefer Historicals, My American Girls, or
Girl of the Year dolls?

I really do not have a preference – there is so much potential in all of
them.
