Hi!

Craft day!

Doll Diaries has awesome crafts, they partnered with Karenmomofthree for this craft. It looks like a lot of fun! I think I will end up making it. :)



(see that surfboard?? I am so sure that is easy to make.)

Things you need:
1. Cardboard
2. Some suplys from the dollar store.



Karen found these for $0.50 each, now that is a cheap great looking craft!



For the surf board, it is super easy. She made the pattern by itself. If you see the first photo the pattern was the perfect fit.



Awesome right?? It looks great, not to make the stand.....

This will need a project board, they are lik $2.00 at Walmart or Target. Or get a piece of cardboard and fold the sides.



"Once it is cut out then you can decorate it by taping the store bought garland to the cardboard front or you can just draw and color your own designs."





So cool! I think this is awesome and very very inexpensive! You could make like 50 surfboards and have a surf shop or something! :) Send me your pics when (if) you make it! AGMarketCluub@hotmail.com - I will share them with everyone here.

Have a nice day! :)

Sports Day 2 (sorry!)

Hey-
Sorry for not posting yesterday, I was out of town until pretty late last night.

Day 2- Basketball
For basketball, you should get either a mini basketball or a ball of paper. You also want to get a mini basketball hoop from a dollar store (they have them at craft stores and party stores as well). If you can't find a hoop, simply tape a rigid circle of some sort to a wall so that the hole is facing the ground.

Make a key around your basketball hoop with some chalk (if you set up outside), or use painters tape on wood or tile floor, if your parents allow you to. Don't put this on carpeting, because it sticks to all the fibers in the carpet.

Teach your doll how to shoot a basket and do a layup!

sorry

sorry for not posting yesterday my computer wasnt working and i was busy so i am just going to post it today :

1. Mount your horse.Usally you have to mount from the left side of your horse, but it is good for your horse to mount from both sides.
2. 

   Find your balance riding.
   Find your balance riding. On your first lesson, your riding instructor will probably lead your horse or put him on a lunge line while you get used to the feeling of riding a horse. If you feel unbalanced, hold onto your horse's mane until you feel balanced again.
   • If you move at a brisk pace, you'll be able to feel a rocking motion as you ride. Your seat should naturally move with the motion. Your arms also need to move with the motion of your horse; though you should have light contact with your horse's mouth, keep your elbows light and move them with the horse.
   • When you ride, look straight forward and keep your back straight. About a third of your boot should be in the stirrup, and keep your heels pointing down. Don't let your leg go too far forward as if you're sitting in a chair - this is called the "chair seat" and is incorrect. Your shoulder, hip, and heel should all be aligned.

   Use aids to control your horse.
   Use aids to control your horse. Aids are what you use to control your horse. They can be natural, such as your hands, seat, and legs, or artificial, such as a crop (whip) or spurs.
   • To make your horse move forward, squeeze with your calves. Horses that do not move forward after a gentle squeeze may need your squeeze to have more energy in it. Some people will say lazy or stubborn horses require kicks with your legs or the use of a crop or spurs but if a horse has been correctly educated then this amount of force is not needed. Remember, ask yourself the question, if a horse can feel a fly land on it then why would it need so much more force to get it to do things?
   • To make your horse halt, sit deep in the saddle and apply pressure with the reins. You can also say "whoa". Practice halting your horse without using your reins; your horse should respond to your seat.
   • To turn your horse, pull the left or right rein out to the side and apply pressure with your outside leg. You have to add pressure with your outside leg or your horse will turn his head as much as you please - while going straight forward.
4. 6
   

   Learn how to trot.
   Learn how to trot. Once you're confident at the walk, squeeze tighter and start trotting. You can sit or post the trot.
   • When you sit the trot, sit deep in the saddle and keep contact with your legs. Be careful to keep your elbows relaxed, so you don't jerk on your horse's mouth - you can also try sitting the trot on the lunge line without reins.
   • To post the trot, rise up in your stirrups every other step. Point your heel down and keep contact with the horse's mouth.
     • When you post the trot, you'll have to think about diagonals. Horses trot moving their legs diagonally. When you're moving to the left, you should rise when your horse's right shoulder is forward. When you're moving to the right, rise when your horse's left shoulder is forward. Try to just look with your eyes when you're checking your horse's diagonal - you could lose your balance if you turn your whole head.
5. 7
   

   Learn how to canter.
   Learn how to canter. The canter is a rocking gait similar to a rocking horse, except faster. To canter, move your outside leg slightly back and squeeze. Use this signal while you're at a slow trot; don't just speed up your horse or he'll usually start trotting quickly instead of cantering.
   • When you sit the canter, your seat rolls with the canter and you stay in the position you normally ride in. Don't tense up - keep your upper body still and keep a steady contact with your horse's mouth.
   • You can also canter while in the half-seat. You can sit in the half-seat by inclining your shoulders forward slightly (but don't slump!) and rotating your pelvis forward. You can also sit in the two-point position while cantering, but this is generally only used while jumping.

   Have fun with your horse! Riding is an incredible sport, and you can do anything from polo to trail riding.

Craft Time! - Who wants Cotton Candy?

Hi!

All of you enjoying camp? I know my dolls are, right now they are swimming in a puddle in front of the house!

Ok, thank you Emma for posting for me last Monday!

I was going to post about how to make a wreath sorta crown, but I lost my camera with the pictures! So here is a tutorial, "How to make Cotton Candy".

I got this From "KarenMomofThree" blog, she has awesome (and easy) crafts all the time!








Ok, so this is the picture form "KarenmomofThree".




First you make a cone out of card stock. Then you get some fiber out (cotton ball would work too), and  sew it together (Needlework). To make the kind of cotton candy shape you will need. Then you get the hot gun out and glue the fiber onto the card stock (or the cone). DONE under 5 minutes.

Fun, right? Check out more fun things to do here on her blog!  Or wait every Monday for a new craft!

Have fun crafting!
