Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

Thanks to everyone for the sweet "cough-go-away" wishes on my last post!  I still have the cough and it's still irritating, but I am feeling better. :) 
I was nominated by the Lovely Flo at "Say Hello To My Little Friends" (I smile every time I read her blog title) for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award.  I love Q & A posts!

Thanks Flo!
Here are her 10 questions....

1) Besides blogging, what other things do you like to do on the internet?
-Well, a lot, unfortunately!  I love Instagram (both my personal and blog ones) as well as Facebook (although I'm getting much better with not being on it as much) and I do a lot of photo editing for both the blog and my personal photography.  I also love Pinterest and YouTube.  I usually have the iPad on Netflix next to me when I'm on my desktop working on the blog.  Double-tasking!

2) Why did you start a doll blog?
-I was really inspired by Emily's blog "The Toy Box Philosopher and Hannah's blog "Never Grow Up."  Their blogs were the first doll blogs I ever came across and I just fell in love.  I loved the idea of doing doll reviews and as I kept reading, I realized there was a community of people who loved collecting, photographing, sewing and sharing their dolls with everyone else!  My favorite aspect of doll blogging is photography and I really felt inspired to share my doll photos with you all. :) 

3) What doll don’t you have that you would most like to have?
-There are SO MANY.  I'd have to say though, right now, I'm in love with Tonner's Spring Flowers.  

4) Your favorite American Girl doll accessory?
-I honestly don't own any AG doll accessories.  Since I'm relatively new to collecting, my focus has been more on actual dolls.  My favorite accessories that they make would have to be their beautiful doll beds.  I am contemplating picking up Caroline's before it is archived!  I really love the historical beds and most specifically Addy's, Caroline's and Josefina's. 

5) Your favorite Non-American Girl doll accessory?
-Again, I don't really own any doll accessories, but my favorite Non-AG accessory I've seen is probably the Our Generation Retro Diner.  LOVE!  

6) Do you play any instruments and if so, what?
-I grew up playing the clarinet in school and in high school/college I played a lot of acoustic guitar and now I mostly play the ukulele. :) 

7) Favorite type of music to listen to?
-My tastes have changed so much over the years.  Right now I love folk-rock (like Mumford and Sons, Lumineers, Monsters of Men) but I love, love, love most all music and especially acoustic and live performances.  I admit, I also really love Taylor Swift. :)

8) Tea or Coffee?
-Coffee all year round and tea in the winter!

9) Favorite Movie?
-Amelie

10) If money were no object, where would you most like to travel to?
-Every country.  :)  If I had to pick one, though I'd want to take my time and travel all through Australia. 

Thanks for reading everyone!
