"Anne of Green Gables" Fashion Week has officialy begun!


Today is the start of the week long fun event, Anne of Green Gables Fashion Week! I am so excited to be hosting my very first event! After participating in all of AmandaBeth Online's events and several other others, hosted by various bloggers, I decided it was high time I hosted one myself!

Through out the event, I will have a Mr. Linky at the end of all of my posts, and a link to our group flickr for those without a blog. And to let you know, Gabrielle and I will both be posting this week, but only my post will have Mr. Linky in them. I thought I should clarify this so there isn't any confusion through out the week. =) 

Remember, you don't have to do just fashion posts. Here is a refresher on all of the different categories you can do posts on through out the week.

  • Modern Anne (Wear what Anne might wear today.) [For ideas look at this post, this post, this post, and this post.] =)
  • Costumes of Anne (Show off those costumes/dresses/skirts/you name it that were inspired by the movies, or books.)
  •  Crafty Anne (Make something for the event that is inspired by Anne.) 
  • How Anne Has Effected Your Life. (Write a blog post on how Anne has effected your life.)
  • Drama Club - (Write a story or poem, sing a song, create a play or movie, paint/draw a picture about Anne. Go all out and have fun!)
When you write up your posts, do include in your post (or title) what category it is for. This will make it a lot easier for me, when I go through all the posts and organize them for voting for all of the winners. Also include a link back to my blog in your post.

And please remember, when linking up your post each day in Mr. Linky do a direct link to your post, NOT your blog.

Another Movie Quote Quiz!

Hello, I thought y'all loved doing Ashley's, so I thought I would do a movie post.  Here are my quotes.  Number 6 is not off of IMDB but I had to put it in. It is from one of my most favorite movies.  :P


Here are the rules:

1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies. (I did 15 instead. ;) )

2. Go to IMDB.com and find a quote from each movie.

3. Post them for everyone to guess.

4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

5. NO cheating.

Poodle Skirt - Made by Me

__________________________________________________________________

I was looking at my old posts yesterday and I realized that, I don't really wear my historical clothing  anymore. Now, before I started this blog, I would wear my historical costumes (1770s - 1900s) all the time! Now, I hardly wear them at all! So I thought, as it was historical costumes that got me into sewing, I should go back to what made me love sewing. =) So don't be surprised if you see me in, lets say, a regency gown sometime soon on the blog. 

What are you all planning to do tonight, or tomorrow? Tonight is camp-out night in our house. Us kids all take turns sleeping in each others rooms, watch movies/old TV shows, eat popcorn (sometimes), and talk to all hours of the night. =) Sound fun? Gabrielle and I, along one of our other sisters are planning on finishing Young Victoria and maybe watch part of Anne of Green Gables (for next week's big event) or Emma (2009). That is, if our favorite baseball team isn't doing good tonight on TV, other wise we may just watch the game. =)

AOGG Fashion Week Starts Sunday!


Just a reminder that the AOGG (Anne of Green Gables) Fashion Week starts this Sunday!  I hope many of you can join in all the fun! As it looks like it is going to be lots of fun. We have two giveaways lined up for you all, so keep an eye out for those next week.

Also remember, you don't have to do just outfit posts. You show off that Anne costume you have, a drawing you made of Avonlea, a story on your trip to Prince Edward Island and of visiting Green Gables. You see, there are many different angles you can go about joining in all of the fun.

If you want to see my past posts on "Anne' visit this page here.  Also in honor of AOGG Fashion Week, I have created a blog dedicated to everything "Anne". Check it out here.  And who knows? Maybe one of your posts will show up on this new blog. =)

~Ashley

P.S.

We have given the blog a whole new look. Yes, again. =) How do you all like it? We love it! We think it is our favorite look so far!
