About Me

Hey there!

I'm Emilie, and welcome to my blog. A little bit about me: I am an almost thirteen year old collector of Sylvanian Families and I love everything about them, from their soft fur to their intricately detailed sets and pieces. Although I don't 'play' with my Sylvanians as I used to when I was younger, I do enjoy setting up life-like scenes, writing their stories and capturing their charm with photography.

I started this blog when I was ten years old. At the time, my favorite family was The Maple Cat family. I had just received them as a Christmas present and I was eager to create their personalities and decorate their home. I wanted my blog to be based around them and their daily lives; all the memories, surprises, joys, sorrows, mishaps and so on. So it became 'Life of a Maple', so as to say, 'Life of a Maple Cat'.

I continued my blog and found a place in the Collectors Community for Sylvanian Families, which is an amazing place full of kind, creative, safe and friendly people of all ages from all over the world.

Unfortunately, as time went on, my life became to busy and stressful to hold up my blog at the same time. So I took a break. A very, very, very long break.

And now I've returned, after a year of absence, and, like I hoped, the members of the Collector's Community gratefully and happily welcomed me back into their club!

So please enjoy the new & the old stories and characters I have written about and shared through this very blog.

~ Emilie

Renovations in the Maple's House... PART 1!

Image
Hi everyone! I was hoping to do a post based on the Creative Crafting Challenge - Christmas Lists, but something else has been on my mind, and that is re-decorating the Maple Cat's house, and turning it into more of home. If you are wondering why, it's because I have moved into a new home, and all the furniture has been taken out and carefully arranged into bags. Now I can finally take it out and play with it again, much to my delight! Setting up new scenes is fun, ya' know! ......................................... Hope you enjoy! ......................................... Millie is quietly enjoying herself at the table, cutting up old scraps of newspaper and drawing on them, making pretty floral designs like the plants in her mother's workplace. But, nothing around Millie is as silent and peaceful as herself... "Heave ho!" The workers' joke. They are being especially kind today, not only doing reno's later but also helping to move fu...

A Christmas Prelude

Image
Hello again, fellow collectors/photographers/bloggers! Since the move is getting back to normal and we have now partially settled in, let the posts begin! But first, I would like to say a few things: I've been pretty late on the Creative Crafting challenges, missing two in a row. The first one I missed was the Gratitude challenge, due to the business of preparations for the move and packing and unpacking my things. The second one I missed--the Christmas Lists one--because I posted a different topic on my blog instead: renovations in the Maple Cat's house. So... here's something to get us into the Christmas spirit and focus a bit first on the renovations. Here goes!! Oh yes, and one last thing before we start: Thank you, everyone, for your support about my blog, your lovely comments and the encouraging things you say! With this blog and this community, not only do I have an audience but also friends--from all over the world. So thank you. You, my parents, my sister...

A Very Merry Christmas

 Hi again... it's been FOREVER since I have last posted a story, but those of you who know me from the collector's forum also know that I was thinking of getting back into blogging eventually. Soooooo without further ado I will now present a short Christmas themed story for the Winter Celebrations creative challenge... with pictures, of course. It was a lonely Christmas morning for Felicia Tuxedo. She had been so busy this year with her photography career, multiple photo exhibitions and moving into her own apartment that her Christmas tree didn't dawn a single decoration. Gazing out the window she saw slushy city streets and barely any snow. Was it just her, or were the Christmas lights a little dimmer this year? She decided it was best to relax and sat down. But her thoughts kept wandering to her family and friends back in the countryside. And suddenly, as if by miracle, there was a knock on the door and her mother Natalie appeared holding a shiny present and in her best c...
