The new horses!

Hey guys, I'm really sorry I haven't been posting in a while. While I was not posting I got McKenna's loft bed, McKenna's practice wardrobe, wooden bunk beds, and I think you can tell by the title of this post............AG horses :). I bought Penny, Patriot, and Sparks Flying off of ebay for a really good deal especially considering Penny and Patriot are retired. Here are some pictures of them for you.

 The owners and their horses

 Amika and her horse, Penny

 Mia and her foal, Sparks flying

 Andrea and her foal Patriot

 All of the pretty horses

I hope you enjoyed this post, a doll DIY and pictures of McKenna are coming soon :)

I bought all of those things :) It took me a while to save up the money, but I did it. Have a happy rest of the day :)

April Fools! and Honey

Dear Gracie from AGDdiaries.blogspot.com, please do not EVER scare me like that again!!!!!!! You so totally scared the poo out of me. I was like  :O   Moving on, I went to a goodwill today to search for dollie accessories and furniture and I ended up finding a Honey dog, from AG :) It came in a bag with a webkinz and the price tag said $2.99!!!!!!!!!! But wait, there's more! As I'm finishing my shopping a lady gets on the loud speaker and says............. "attention goodwill shoppers, today anything with a pink tag on it is 50% off!" And guess what, the bag that Honey was in had a pink tag on it so I ended up getting her and the webkinz for $1.50! I figured I could sell the webkinz for $2.00 and actually end up making 50 cents :) YAY ME :) The only thing that is at all wrong with her is that she didn't come with her collar, but I probably would have just taken her collar off anyway so I'm very happy :) I'm going to give her to my dollies for Easter :) Shhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell my dollies :) Bye Bye

american girl doll girl scout cookie boxes!

I discovered this a while ago, but it is super cute and I thought I'd show it to all of you. This is a semi doll DIY, since I'm only giving you part of the instructions. To make American girl doll sized girl scout cookie boxes go to www.topsinswaps.com/cookies and copy paste the images into a word document. make them the right size and print them out. Glue the box together, but leave the top open. Stuff half of a tissue into the box and glue the top closed. There, now you have a beautiful girl scout cookie box for your doll. After I finished all of my cookie boxes I set up a doll cookie booth. Here are some pictures.

I hope you enjoyed my post!

Doll DIY

HOW TO MAKE A DOLL BINDER

This Doll DIY will show you how to make an american girl doll binder in 5 easy steps.

Supplies
  • colored cardstock
  • scissors
  • glue stick
  • pencil
  • packing tape
  • ruler
  • brads


1. Use your ruler and your pencil to draw a rectangle on your cardstock that is 5 inches by 3.5 inches. Then leave about half an inch of space and draw another rectangle the exact same size so you will end up with something like a big rectangle.

2. Cut out the big rectangle with your scissors and fold the cardstock on the lines you drew in between the two rectangles you drew and you have part of your binder.

3. fold the end of the big rectangle you just cut out about an inch up to create the pockets of your binder. Use your glue stick to glue the ends of the pockets to the actual binder.

4. Now is the time to decorate your binder whichever way you want, if you have stencils or stickers now is the time to put them on.  

5. Cover the inside and the outside of your binder with packing tape so that it gives it a glossy finish look. Then put the brads through the back of the binder so that you can see the tips of them through the inside of the binder, these will serve as the little rings to hold your dolls papers. That's it! You're done! Now fill that binder with papers and give it to your doll!


I hope you guys enjoyed this post, since there was a tie in the poll I will dol the doll bookshelf another time. Thank you all for following, it means so much to me :) THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY AMAZING 14 FOLLOWERS!!!

Welcome Nadia!

In the short time I was sick I discovered Lilian, the hearts 4 hearts doll from Belarus, Russia. I immediately fell in love with her and couldn't wait to get her, well I ended up ordering her from amazon along with her cute nightwear and she arrived just this Thursday. I have some pictures of her for you, and her cute little bedding I made today. So please enjoy. :)

  Heart 4 Hearts Lilian from Russia
this is the Lilian doll that I bought, but I changed her name to Nadia. (it sounds more Russian and I like the way it sounds)

these are Nadia's pj's the ones I ordered along with her. They also come with a fuzzy pink hair tie you can't really see.
this is Nadia's bed and bedding

her mattress and sheet

her fringe pillow

her yarn doll, and her throw pillow

her other little stuffed animals (the first one is a bear and the second are bendable flowers)

Nadia and her bed

Dance

Okay, tomorrow I have a father/daughter dance to go to and I have a girl scout meeting so, I will be busy. I really hate my pet fish right now because she keeps playing dead :-( she literally rolls over, belly up and lays there! I will hopefully post pics soon. The dolls are fine, they've been at school and have had a lot of homework so I'll try to get one of them to post this weekend, bye bye, food is calling!

Cool trip

Hello everyone, AZ girl here. I went to a Michael's craft store tonight and I found a very cute wooden step stool. It was on sale and only $2.00. It was an oval shape and the perfect size for dolls to use as a table, so that will be one of their new school tables. I will hopefully post pictures soon :-) I need to clean and rearrange my school room anyway so this was a good time to get it. Also, I am going to try to either make or find bunk beds. I think I might be able to make them, but I wouldn't be able to fit them in any of the rooms in their house. Ughhhh. Hope you have a good weekend guys, bye!

Yay!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while guys, I've been pretty busy. I am trying to figure out which fabrics to use for some blankets I'm making for my dolls. I might use a cool pink peace sign fleece. Anyway I just wanted to post so you guys wouldn't think I wasn't going to post anymore. Andrea's b-day is coming up and I still have no idea what to give her! AHHH! I want to give her pj's because hers are getting very worn but I don't just want to get her pajamas for birthday! maybe I should give her a blanket................... I don't know, any ideas? Bye.

Andrea's all about applesauce

My absolute favorite food is applesauce like I said on my part on the doll biography page, and just recently I discovered "GoGo squeeZ" applesauce! It comes in a little pouch and it is delicious!!! Also........................................................everyone always tells me that there is only 1 flavor of applesauce..........................................THEY HAVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF APPLESAUCE SO WHAT NOW!!! My current favorite is the AppleBerry kind. It's YUMMY! YAY! bye,

Trip out

 Okay, so I was out shopping today and I first went to Michael's craft store and I saw the cutest little thing! It was a mini fish tank (the kind that grow in water). I loved it but I didn't buy it. Then I went to a music a store where I rent my clarinet from and I saw that they still had some ornaments from Christmas out and they were mini instruments! Then oboe, clarinet and the trumpet were all the right size for them but unfortunately they were really expensive so I couldn't get them. And finally I went to Walmart where I found a cute tri fold board for my science project and right next to those boards I found............................................................MINI TRI FOLD BOARDS THAT WERE THE PERFECT SIZE FOR AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS! Uhhhhhhh I didn't buy those either :-(     anyway I did manage to get some mini bean bag chairs for them though :-)   I got 2 pinks, 1 purple, and 1 orange. They were on clearance for $2.50 and they are so cute. I probably won't be posting at all tomorrow because I will be at a robotics and calculus class for most of the day, and I'm having a sleepover with my friend that night also.  Fun Fun Fun................. wish me luck!!!

time for a post

Mia, and Julie still in her box

Peering inside

opening the box

WOW! She's so cute!

beautiful Julie

Julie fresh out of her box

What she came with

Julie and her book

Mia and her new doll sharing brunch

Julie with a cup of lemonade

Away with Julie she goes!



Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, I've been pretty busy. Anyway, I got something very exciting yesterday............................................... MY FIRST MINI DOLL!  Mia saved up a bunch of money and bought her very own Julie doll! I LOVE her and I would recommend her to anybody that is going to buy a mini doll. The only thing i didn't like about her, was her shoes. Her shoes look cheaply made and look somewhat like they're made of cardboard (I made shoes for her last night with foam and ribbon, so not such a big deal). Moving on,  has anyone else noticed that AG raised the price on some of their things and that they're putting ridiculous prices on some of the new things? For example, bitty babies are now $50 instead of $48, Bitty twins are now $105 instead of $100, and they are charging $34 for "McKenna's rain gear". McKenna's rain gear is an umbrella and a pair of rain boots!!! That is sad :-( . Anyway, sorry that was of topic, the pictures  Mia and her new Julie doll are above, sorry I can't get them to go down.

Okay, okay, okay

I guess I can't change the name of my blog, besides I'm going to keep getting more dolls so whats the point of changing it every few months. Ughhhhh so if you read my first few posts you probably know that I wanted to do a givaway contest when I reached 10 followers, so Please share this blog on your blog so that I can get up to 10 followers, and you can have a chance at winning a really cool prize for your doll(s)! I'll give you a hint at what the prize is...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... (it's home-made, and .................................... it's ............................. Pink........................&.........................white.........&....................GREEN! I know that's not much of a clue, but there you go. (also before I go there's one more thing ............. there is more than one prize that I'm going to give away in the givaway! ) I'll keep you guys posted on that!

Amika's presents

For my birthday I got a lot of cool things! I got some slippers and a small matching blanket from Mia &Andrea, a mood necklace in the shape of a butterfly from Lanie, a Claire's gift card and a Justin Bieber dog tag from Felicity, I got a cute piggy bank from Kanani, a Rubik's cube and a letter from my best friend from my old orphanage,and  a notebook with pictures of my 3 little cousins and a letter from my aunt. The last present was from my mom, I reached inside and pulled out........... a very cute purple scrapbook that I will fill with pictures and notes of my sisters. I then pulled out........... a very cute poster of a horse, then............. I reached back into the bag a.......n........d............. IT WAS A NINTENDO 3DS! I thought that was all, but my mom told me there was one more present inside I reached inside and I felt something small and paper inside........................................................it......................................was...................................................................TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT TICKETS! Only 3 though, that means I have to chose one sister to go with my mom and I'm thinking of taking one of my friends instead of one of my sisters so I won't hurt any of their feelings. Wow this has been a long post just for presents, as you may have noticed my mom still hasn't changed the name of her blog because no one is commenting and saying that they know the blog name is going to change, so I won't post anymore until everyone comments so that there is no confusion.
