Well, Hello There 2018!

Hello, it's your friendly neighborhood moustached neighbor! (Heh heh, sorry, another DanTDM reference!)

GUYS!!!!

IT'S 2018!!!!!

2017 IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2017 started off with me coming home from the youth retreat after driving all night. I was exhausted but happy to be home.

2018 started off with me starting to write this post and listening to Splatoon music. Not quite as eventful but, eh, who cares. XD

Didja guys stay up all night? I didn't, actually. I mean, I saw the clock at 12AM but I was in bed, almost asleep. XD

What did you guys do to celebrate? My family doesn't do a whole lot but on New Years Eve we had a super yummy supper of bacon wrapped wieners, Caesar salad, chicken wings, and pizza buns. It was all SO good! :o We also played a game called Balderdash which was creative and fun! Before supper, though, me and Koolest and my brother watched DanTDM on our Wii U and then my brother played Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild WHICH IS SO COOL!!!!!! :O You can hunt animals with your bow and arrow, climb mountains or pretty much anything, make food in a pot over a fire, catch fish, and AHHH, it's awesome. XD

Okay! Enough with my little chitchat!

Today's New Years! (Oops, I didn't end up finishing this post on New Years...)

So I'm going to be doing a little New Years post. (I said "little" because I don't have a whole lot of time to write it... heh.)

Looking back at 2017, it was a good, good year. But in some ways, it wasn't as good as I hoped. The main reason being that many of our AJ Blogger friends have quit. And I miss them all so badly. :(

But I try to look at the good of 2017!

Here's a small list of some of what I found good about 2017:

• I got closer to God and started to really enjoy praise and worship at my church or church in general.
• I got super close to some AJ Bloggers due to being able to talk to a lot of them in one place. (Y'all rock. ^-^)
• I started to learn how to really enjoy life.
• I made tons of awesome memories in the summer such as biking in the rain after getting ice cream blizzards (and having one explode on me, XD) or swimming out in the lake with my family on vacation or walking Mocha or biking with Koolest and than stopping somewhere random just to talk or talking for hours with the AJ Bloggers or watching TV shows with my siblings or biking fast down the sidewalks of my city.
• I got more connected into my nursery class at church.
• I learned how to socialize a bit more.
• I drew more and got better.
• I wrote more and got better.
• The Maze Runner series captured me and I seriously am the biggest fangirl for it.
• I found out Splatoon music is awesome. (XD)
• I found out DanTDM is an awesome, hilarious (and kid friendly) YouTuber and now love watching him on our Wii U with Koolest and my brother.
• I hung out with my siblings more.
• I found out that my AJ Blogger friends have my back.

I could keep going on but I think I'll stop here!

I hope you all can look back at 2017 and see that it was a good year! If you can't see it at first, look harder!

Alright, before I end this post off, let's have a little mini throwback. ^.^ I'll be looking at 2017 posts and pick random highlights. Throwbacks are fun so WOO! XD

Doll Devine Pixie Scene Maker and Chibi Maker Character Haul!

Hey, howdy, hey! ^.^

Today is going to be quite a long post with a lot of pictures. Curious? Good!

A few weeks ago, I found an online dress-up game that I mentioned back here named Doll Devine. There's a lot of different dress-up options, such as chibi, fairy, anime, dragon, etc. My favorite is chibi but I also enjoy the fairy one. ^-^

And I found out that I love making characters from books. I don't know whyyyy! XD It's just so fun.

So, I will be posting all of my creations on one big massive post so let's start or else we'll be here all day! XD

- - -

Pixie Scene Maker

This was the first one I made (on left)! I made it look kinda like my fairies outfit (on right). I hadn't seen any bows and I was trying to figure out all the different things you could do so yeah. XD

This is Knife and Paul, two characters from a book called "Spell Hunter" (Also known as "Knife") by R.J. Anderson. The characters are really cute together. ^.^

Again, I didn't know that I could get rid of wings so Paul is a fairy! He really isn't supposed to be...

Since I've been in a Maze Runner craze, I made my favorite character, Newt! I think he had a bow in the book... Maybe not... 0.o Too bad they didn't have shovel or something, like he had in the movie... Anyway, he's awesome. CX

I made Peter Pan! I was trying to do the Once Upon A Time version (AKA the best Peter Pan ever) BUT I DIDN'T CHANGE HIS EYEBROWS TO BE ALL RAISED AND COOL. So, it's kind of a lame attempt since everyone knows Pan has his eyebrows raised a lot in OUAT. XD It's his signature or something!

This random fairy me and Koolest made together! She looks a little sad but I don't know why...


These next few are all from the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. I just HAD to make these characters because THE SERIES IS SU AMAZING AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL SO WONDERFUL!!!

Linh Cinder and Emperor Kaito! (Kai's my favorite character. :D)

Scarlet and Wolf!

Cress and Captain Thorne! (Thorne is hilarious. XD)

Iko! (I LOVE IKO, SHE'S SO SWEET!)

Chibi Maker

My first chibi person I made is Barry Allen from The Flash! He is so sweet and is such a great hero. ;)

Modern day OUAT Peter Pan! I wish there was a better hair for him but oh well, that works! And YEY FOR QUIRKY EYEBROWS! XD

It's Newt again! The first one is his outfit in the Glade and then the second is his outfit in the Scorch. I can't decide which outfit I like best. XD But I realized I made a mistake on the Scorch outfit! I didn't make him wear cargo pants. DX

These next two are me and Koolest! I could have given Koolest a book too but she loves her coffee/hot chocolate. ;) And I NEED THAT SWEATER I'M WEARING. XD

Koolest told me I should make Nancy Drew when I asked her who I should make one day. So, HERE'S NANCY DREW, GIRL DETECTIVE, WHO IS REALLY SMART AND NEVER EVER GETS HURT!!! XD

It's Link and Zelda from Legend of Zelda!! I would have added a hat to Link but he looked like a Christmas elf so I ditched it for elf ears. And he has the Master Sword, duh duh duh DUHHHH! ^.^ (That was an attempt to sound like the music that plays when you receive the Master Sword. ^)

Am I the only one who thinks they look like siblings? XD


These next 5 are from the series Wings of Fire! They are the Dragonets of Destiny and are only main characters in books 1-5. This would be they would look like if they weren't, well, dragons. XD

Clay!

Tsunami!

 

Glory!

Starflight!

Sunny!



I really like all of them but Sunny and Glory might be my favorite outfits that I did.

 

These next 7 are also from Wings of Fire. I made the dragonets from book 6-latest book. (I think... I haven't read them all yet.)  I really like these 'new' dragonets, more than the Dragonets of Destiny, actually! They are just so fun and get on each other's nerves. It's the best. XD

Moonwatcher!

Qibli!

Kinkajou!

Turtle!

Winter!

Winter's sister, Icicle!

Peril!

I actually love how I made all of them. CX


This next  are from Wings of Fire again! I made all the Queens in Pyrrhia as chibi! Most of them are kinda cranky and murderous... And creepy. And the ones who aren't scary are kinda ditzy. And let's look at them, shall we?! XD

 Blister, Blaze, and Burn. They are all sisters fighting for the throne of the desert. (If you can't tell, Blister is the sneaky smart one, Blaze is the fashionable ditzy one, and Burn is the sarcastic murderous one. Which one is fit to rule? 

Queen Moorhen of the Mudwings!

Queen Scarlet of the Skywings!

Queen Coral of the Seawings!

Queen Battlewinner of the Nightwings!

Thorn the leader of the Outclaws!

Queen Glacier of the Icewings!

I actually like Queen Scarlet a lot, even in the books. Yup, it shocks me too. I like a scary, murderous dragon queen who hates the Dragonets of Destiny. But she's so FUNNY. XD


This next collection is AJ Alphas as chibi!!! :D I really enjoyed making these with Koolest and I love them all but Greely is my personal favorite that we made. :D

Liza!

Sir Gilbert!

Greely

Graham!

Peck!

Cosmo!

And my last collection for this post is my big Once Upon A Time collection. I made Storybrooke (our world) versions and Enchanted Forest (fairy-tale world) versions of some of the main characters! I REALLY LIKE HOW THEY TURNED OUT!! :D

Storybrooke - Emma!

Enchanted Forest - Emma!

Henry! (He doesn't really ever change his outfit... Like ever.)

Storybrooke - Mary Margret/Snow

Enchanted Forest - Snow White

Storybrooke - David/Charming



Enchanted Forest - Prince Charming

Storybrooke - Regina

Enchanted Forest - Evil Queen

Storybrooke - Killian Jones

Enchanted Forest - Captain Hook

Storybrooke - Mr. Gold



Enchanted Forest - Rumpelstiltskin

Storybrooke - Belle



Enchanted Forest - Belle (Her name is the same in both places. XD)


I personally am proud of this collection since I think I made the characters accurately and I'm a big fangirl of OUAT. XD

I hope you enjoyed this long, picture-filled post!

Have an amazing day, let it snow, ho ho ho, Christmas is coming, and...

Jam on!

Comment call: Did you like the characters and people I made? Who was your favorite?

If you're wondering why I added a bunch of Christmasy stuff to my outro, it's because it snowed a week ago!! And I'm so excited for Christmas!!!!!
