Little Baker - A Photoshoot

Hi everyone!:)
I hope all of you are having a great day so far!:) Yesterday, I took a photoshoot of Eden in her baking outfit from the previous photostory she was in because she just looked so cute!:D
I love how these pictures came out, and I hope you do, too!:D

















***
Eden is seriously the most photogenic doll!:D I kept wanting to take more and more pictures!XD The lighting was really great, too, so I didn't have to strain to find the right angles!;)
-Emma-
Which doll of yours is the hardest to take good pictures of?
I think for me, mine might be Elizabeth or Molly. Their hair is pretty bad and they're really old.;)

The Cookie Mystery - A Photostory

Hi everyone!
Saige, Sophie, and Eden had a mystery on their hands...Keep reading to find out what happened!:)
Eden walked to the counter with a smile on her face. Now that her carrot cake cookies were cooled, she was excited to taste the cookies she invented. 
"Wait..." Eden gazed at the counter. There were no cookies! "Where did they go?" 
"'Sup, Eden! Are the cookies done yet?" Saige said, walking onto the scene.
"No! They're gone...I don't know what happened. Did someone put them in the fridge? I hope not!" Eden ran to check on the other places that people could have put them.
She came back, sighing.
"Nowhere." 
Saige's eyes widened.
"I'll be right back! Don't move!"
She dashed up the stairs. 
Eden waited for her to appear again. After a few minutes, she heard the sound of storming foot steps beating down the stairs. 
Saige raced in, breathing heavily and wearing a long, dark coat. 
"This is a mystery that I plan to solve!" Saige exclaimed. "But first... I need an assistant! For would Sherlock Holmes be anything without John Watson or would...um...actually, they're all I can think of right now."
She twisted her head and perused the living room.
"SOPHIE!"
Sophie snapped her head up.
"Huh?"
"You're my assistant!"
"I don't think-"
"It's not a choice!" Saige yelled.
Sophie slipped next to Saige as she spoke with Eden.
"It's clear that this was an inside job. We must interrogate our sisters to find out who did it," Saige declared.
***
"TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COOKIES!" Saige screamed in Elizabeth's face.
"I don't know what happened to them," Elizabeth muttered, squinting in the light.
"YOU ARE A LIAR! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!"
"I dont know!" she yelled.
The harsh light drooped and fell as Sophie managed the flashlight.
"Ugh! Sophie!" Saige whined and looked away from Elizabeth and to Sophie, who was scrambling to catch the light.
"Sorry," she replied, frowning. "I don't think Elizabeth did it though."
"Then which sister did it?"
"I don't think a sister did it. Well, one could but if we-"
"You're right, Sophie. A sister didn't do it."
"Saige-" Sophie started, but was cut off by Saige's abrupt departure from the room. Sophie plucked a loose eyelash from her eye as she waited impatiently for Saige to get back so she could continue.
"You were right. A sister didn't do it," Saige said and came in dragging Adam behind her. "ADAM DID! A BROTHER!"
"I didn't do it!" Adam shouted. "Wait...what is 'it'?"
"TELL ME WHERE THE COOKIES ARE!"
"It-It-It-It..." Adam stammered, his eyes wide as Saige grabbed his shirt, pulling him to face her.
"TELL ME!" she spat and Sophie pulled her hair in front of her face in embarrasment.
"Da..." Adam mumbled, clearly terrified out of speech at Saige's blazing expression.
"Saige, it wasn't Adam either!" Sophie cried, exasperated.
Saige let go of Adam and turned her head away.
"I can go?" he questioned hesitantly, but he was already up and scooting away. Saige nodded her head and he bolted.
She walked to Sophie and looked her in the eye.
"If it wasn't a sister and isn't Adam, who is it?"
"Well...I don't know, but we aren't following the trail right. We need to go back to the 'crime scene' and follow the right trail," Sophie answered. They walked back to the 'crime scene' and Sophie pointed out the right trail.
"A good detective should look for clues, and I saw this trail of orange crumbs earlier on. I think it will lead us to the culprit," Sophie muttered.
They walked the short trail until it ended at a door.
"Whoever is behind here is the culprit," Sophie said while grabbing the edge of the door. Saige held her breath as Sophie slowly yanked the door back, revealing...
Everyone gasped. The toddlers had the cookies! Elsa held a sponge-y orange cookie in her chubby fingers and crumbs heavily littered the carpet.
"Hi!" Elsa exclaimed, waving her cookie in the air. They both were so innocent, they didn't know that it had been bad to have taken the cookies.
Sophie suppressed a smile as Saige turned to face her. Saige's eyes wandered over the floor until she spotted the flashlight and picked it up, rolling it over in her hands.
"So...I guess we can't interrogate them, too?"

I hope you liked the photostory, although it was pretty long.:)

Cookies or cake?
It all depends on the cookies or cake for me, but I might have to do cookies...Yum!;)

TAUT - Through Fire - Part Three

Hi everyone!:)
I know that some of you are desperate to know what happened in the last part, and I can't wait to reveal what happened!:D
Fire.
Dmitri breathed in pure smoke and her eyes burst open wide as she coughed. Her eyes watering, she tried to gain her thoughts.
How long had I been about? she thought. She scanned the area, but all she saw were flames shooting up all around her, trapping her. Why had I fallen unconscious? 
"The spray!" Dmitri cried then realized too late that speaking wasn't a good idea. Her mouth went dry which made her cough harder. The spray must have made them fallen unconscious. It must have been toxic.
"Chris!!" she called. She could barely hear herself above the roar of the fire. "Logan!!!" Dmitri stood up and a wave of dizziness flooded over her. She pushed her fingers into her throbbing temples, telling herself to get it together.
Be the leader.
She grabbed her phone out of her backpack. There wasn't any signal. She pushed it back into her bag and looked around at the fire encasing her. As she looked up at the burning trees, she heard a sickly crack. Her gaze shot to a nearby tree, screaming as it came crashing toward her. 
Barely missing the fiery tree, she jumped to the side as the tree burst to life with sparks. Her legs burned with the heat of the fire and, once she snatched up the fallen spray and stuffed it into her backpack, she called out to Chris and Logan, wherever they were. She had to move. They weren't around here. Dmitri stumbled away, dodging flames that threatened to overwhelm her.
"Help!" a voice called out over the sound of the fire. 
"Chris!" Dmitri exclaimed and ran to a burning bush, which Chris was stuck in. She grabbed her arms and pulled her out.
"I'm so glad you're safe!" Chris said. 
"Where's Logan?" Dmitri questioned and dragged her away from the bush.
"I don't know," Chris coughed, shaking her head.
"We need to get out of here or else we'll burn to death!"
"But what happened? I fainted!" She cried.
"I can't be sure, but I think that spray we used somehow caused it."
"It could be poisonous," Chris added and Dmitri nodded.
"We need to leave. Now."
They tramped through the burning remains of a forest, desperately searching for a way out and to find Logan, whom they called to every now and then. Chris fell onto a slippery, wet rock, saying, "I need water."
Dmitri handed her a hot bottle of water, still looking at the fire around them. Soot lay on the floor like sand and smoke smothered the sky. Neither one of them could stop coughing for long.
After Chris drained most of the bottle, they picked up their trek through the forest, but their hopes diminished as the fire started to get too large around them, blocking paths.
"Wait!" Chris shouted and grabbed Dmitri's arm. "Sara said they'd be waiting for us!"
Dmitri gasped. She was right.
"Yes! If we can find that circle we began in, we could find them!" she exclaimed, her hopes flaring like the flames around them.
"It was this way!" Chris pointed to the left. They ran for what felt like hours, but they didn't find the circle.
Dmitri panted and breathed in heavy smoke as she brought herself to say the two words circling in her mind.
"We're lost."

Another cliffhanger? Ooh...I'm bad....;)
I hope you are enjoying the series!:D
Since these were all the pictures I took when I was at the park, the next part will take longer to get up, but I hope to have it up as soon as possible!:) Thanks for being patient.:)
