An American Girl Mom

2024 is going to be an amazing year for me! I feel like if you're super positive, then good things will happen. Last year (2023) was the year I had to abandon my other blog. It was super sad because it meant everything I had done for years was just gone. But I still have my photos. This year I'm looking at this as an opportunity.  So I've decided to put some photos together to make a video called Welcome to Shedville. Look for that to be coming in a couple of weeks. I should probably explain Shedville a bit before it's big movie debut. Shedville is where all of my dolls live. It's their little town. It's also an eco village. They're completely off the grid, growing all of their own food. Living the good life. Another thing I didn't lose was my YouTube channel.  https://www.youtube.com/@anamericangirlmom475 Not all of my videos are great, but they're getting better. Baby steps.

If youve been following me for a while now, then you know that I had to abandon my last blog and come back to Blogger. This means that everything I worked on for the last few years is gone. At least online. BUT it also means that I have some great photo stories ready to go. I had plans to share a stop motion story for this Christmas, but the universe had other plans.

But being sick has put me really far behind.  The stop motion will still come out, but I can't say when yet. When it does, of course, I'll post here and on  Instagram . Until then, I wanted to share one of my very favorite Christmas photo stories. This is when Ben and Will got picked to put together a Meet Santa event for Shedville Academy. Ben dressed as Santa.

I was super worried I wouldn't have this done in time, but here it is on  YouTube !! This year's Christmas stop motion movie. https://youtu.be/yyIHgBf1rQs?feature=shared Be sure to like and Subscribe. And have a very Merry Christmas!!

Everyone in Shedville loves Christmas. Even the people who don't celebrate Christmas, enjoy the festivities and seeing the joy it brings to their friends and neighbors. Next year I want to show some of those celebrations, such as Diwali and Hanukkah. This year Santa's coming to town! I've got entire news coverage coming soon to my  YouTube channel . Hopefully I get it done by Christmas. 🤞 Some of the other families are celebrating a little early.  Here we have Rowan with her mom, Elowyn, and her grandparents, Grammy and Pop Pop Cranwrinkle. Rowan lives with her mom in a penthouse suite of the Arcona building. She wishes her dad was here, but he is always traveling for work. He did send her some very beautiful gifts, but she'd rather have him home. All around Shedville are getting ready for Christmas day. Stockings are hung, trees are going up, and the smell of fresh baked co
