Updates and Questions!

Heyy! I just love posting on this blog and making videos on my YouTube account. Unfortunately, it's been about three weeks since I posted a new video on YouTube. Right now, though, one is uploading! It should be up by Sunday (tomorrow). Thanks for reading this blog. Although I have no followers (yet), 6 people voted on my poll so someone must be reading this :)Now, for the questions. Please answer as a comment.
#1 Should I get Cecile & Marie-Grace's Limited Edition Items?     
     Since I have Marie-Grace and Cecile, I would like to get their Courtyard Furniture and Summer Outfits. But, I can't help thinking that what I really want are some new MAG things. 
#2 On my YouTube account, would you rather watch AGSM's (American Girl Stop       Motion) and series or other videos like AG reviews, What I Got..., AG hairstyles, etc.?     
     I will still try to post a variety of different videos, but it's interesting to hear what you have to say so I know what to make more videos of.
And lastly...
#3 Do you like this blog design?   
     Fairly recently I re-did my blog design from a basic Blogger Template to a more customized design. Feel free to give your opinions on what you like/don't like/or think could be better.
Please give your advice down below, I read everything you have to say! :)
Have an amazing AG-Tastic day!!

New American Girl Books In June

   Heyy! I wanted to show you some new books that will probably come out in June! They are 4 Innerstar University educational activity books. Here are pictures of each book. All of the books come with fun extras like punch-outs or stickers!



Find Your Way!
It is a geography-based book that has fun puzzles and games in it to improve your geography skills.






Greatest Mistakes
This is a language-arts book! It teaches grammer, writing tips, and more through fun activities with the Innerstar U guides.





Math + Fashion = Fun
This is a book that combines math skills with fashion to make learning more fun!





I  <3 Art   ( I Heart Art)
This book might be the one I'm most excited for! It's either this one or the Math book. I really like art and this looks so fun :)





So these will come out in June from American Girl.
I hope you enjoyed!

Heyy everyone! I'm very excited to share with you an American Girl Page that has recently been updated! When i was on the website looking for hair care supplies (the Salon Styling Caddy!) I came across this page. Here is a link to it:    http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/static/dollcare.jsp

It has all sorts of information on doll hair and skin care as well as info on the Doll Hospital and Doll Storage. There is also an email address which you can send your doll care question to, with a parent's permission if your under 18!
It is dolldoctor@americangirl.com

Cecile & Marie-Grace's Collection Part 2

Heyy! Welcome to Part 2 of Cecile & Marie-Grace's Collection. I will show their summer set and outfits in this post. 


Courtyard Furniture

This lovely table and chairs set is made to look like cast iron, and is so pretty! My family actually has a similar looking set like this. It's green with two chairs and when I saw this it reminded me of ours. I think the table is the perfect size for a nice outdoors set.


Glassware & Treats

These are the goodies which can go on top of the table shown above. The pitcher matches the glass cups. The little french pastries on the ceramic plate are called beignets. This is one of American Girl's fancier and more delicate sets. I think it's really nice and I like that you can take the beignets off the plate and the fruit groups out of the bowl.


Lacy Parasol

This is super pretty and fancy! It can "keep the sun out of your doll's eyes". This has a clear strap that your doll can slip her hand through to hold. It can open and close easily.




Marie-Grace's Summer Outfit

This is a very pretty dress. I love that it comes with a hat! The boots are a nice change from her meet outfit boots which are black and white. The light pink is fancy and very summery.




Cecile's Summer Outfit

I think the yellow in this dress reflects Cecile's confident and kind personality! The bonnet is a nice addition and the boots look similar to her Meet Outfit boots but they are different. The bows in this outfit make it look elegant and fun at the same time.


So, this concludes Part 2 of Cecile & Marie-Grace's Collection. I hope you enjoyed it and I will be having Part 3 up sometime next week!

Read-a-Palooza

   Heyy, I would like to share some exciting news with you!  ......American Girl is hosting a Read-a-Palooza "event" where every book you buy from AG, they donate $1 to Save the Children's U.S. Literacy Program, as part of their Shine On Now program where AG helps and gives back to charities and foundations. It goes to a great cause and takes place until September 3! It started on May 1st. Buy purchasing a book online, or a store from American Girl you get to help out :)
Here is a link to the special website for Read-a-Palooza: http://www.americangirl.com/reading/
You can print out bookmarks, book club information on how to start a book club and other materials, and fun puzzles. There are also some quizzes to do! This gets me even more excited about getting some new books over the summer.
Here are some AG books I would like to get:

Julie Boxed Set with Game  ~ I have Julie and would like to read her books. Hopefully I can get this soon!



A Smart Girl's Guide to Liking Herself ~ This sounds like a great book! I have a few of the "Smart Girl's Guide to...." and they are really helpful!



Clutter Control ~ This would be a good book for me :) It has fun and cool ways to organize your room, locker, and other places where the clutter could get out of hand.





Lists! A Year of Stuff About Me ~ This book looks so cool! I think it would be fun to fill out all the information and be able to look at it later.





Skin and Nails ~ I think that I would enjoy looking through this book and learning more information about your nails and skin.



Spa Fun ~ This book looks awesome! Homemade spa treatments and pampering sound good to me! :)


These are some of the books I would like to get.
To make your own "AG Book Wishlist" check out the American Girl website bookstore to see all the books, kits, and activity books American Girl has available .  http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/static/books.jsp

Cecile & Marie-Grace's Collection Part 1

Heyy Girls!

Today I thought I'd show you Cecile & Marie-Grace's collection. I have both dolls and happen to love their items :)

My first thoughts on the collection was that it was super detailed. So, here we go!

Cecile & Marie-Grace Dolls and Accessories

They are very pretty and unique from other dolls available from American Girl. Marie-Grace's hair comes in braids draped across the back of her head, which you don't see in this photo. Cecile's curls are gorgeous! It's a little tricky to care for, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy!

(would you like to know how to care for Cecile's hair?) The accessories are very cute! I love their necklaces and hats. Marie-Grace's fan is fancy and Cecile's gloves are very elegant!

Cecile & Marie-Grace's Boxed Set with Game

I actually have this! It's one of the things I currently own from their collection. Their books are soo amazing! Some parts are sad, some happy. The game opens up from the back and it comes with pieces and a fold-able dice.


The  six-books series titles are Meet Marie-Grace, Meet Cecile, Marie-Grace and the Orphans, Troubles for Cecile, Marie-Grace Makes a Difference, and Cecile's Gift. All of these books come in the Boxed Set which I showed above, but you can also buy them separately. I've read them all and they were really good, as mentioned before. I'd highly recommend reading them sometime.


The Hidden Gold: A Marie-Grace Mystery

I haven't read this book yet but would love to soon. I've seen it at Barnes & Noble before and just haven't gotten it because I wanted something else. Hopefully, I will be able to read it soon!


The Cameo Necklace: A Cecile Mystery

This is another book I have not read yet. When I get the other mystery for Marie-Grace I will probably get this book too.


Cecile & Marie-Grace Just for Fun

This is the Just for Fun book that they have for all of the historical characters except Addy and Kaya. I have this, but haven't used it yet. It has puzzles, sudoku (number puzzles), Mask Making, and much more! I looks super fun and I will probably make a video and post a review on it, when I start using it.


Marie-Grace Treasure Tote

A tiny tote full of fun things to do! I have Julie's Treasure Tote, which again I haven't opened yet, but will soon. They have a mini shorter version of the dolls Meet book (Meet Marie-Grace) and a puzzle, mini paper doll scenes, and some other fun activities that involve Marie-Grace.


Cecile Treasure Tote

Similar to Marie-Grace's, except this one has a mini short version of Meet Cecile and has some different activities in it. These totes are perfect for car trips, rainy days, or fun with your doll! They have a little handle to carry it and a pocket to keep the activity sheets in.


Cecile & Marie-Grace Play Scenes & Paper Dolls

This fun paper dolls book comes with two "pull-out" scenes that are attached to the book. You spread out the book to reveal the 2 fun scenes. I have this but haven't used it yet. I've been saving the opening of it for a video like I have for a few other books. It comes with a whole pad of card-stock and paper sheets with the dolls, Argos and Cochon (a dog and parrot who are Cecile and Marie-Graces different pets), outfits, accessories, and pretend card-stock furniture. There's tons to do with this fun set :)  Oh, it also comes with reusable sticky pieces to attach the clothing to your paper dolls. The book has pockets to store the various pieces in after they are punched, so you can play with them over and over again. One more thing, there are cards that help you act out scenes from the book.


This is Part 1, there will be more parts because they have more to their collection. I hope you enjoyed this post and comment letting me know what you like, if you have them or anything from their collection, questions, or anything else!


I do not own any these pictures. All rights go to American Girl.


Bye and have an AWESOME day!!  :)

Dolls I Like

I decided to make this post about dolls I like.

They are in no specific order of what I like most or anything,  they're just as I'm looking through the catalogue and website and seeing what I like. Also, I like so many dolls I just put some of them here :)

My American Girl
MAG A3-W0687

 

 She's pretty and I like her side bangs!

MAG A3-W0589

She is uber pretty although she look like Julie with shorter hair and I already have Julie...

MAG #49

Of course, Zoe (my doll). She has gorgeous hair and dark hair with blue eyes is a striking combination.

MAG A3-G1938

This doll is very pretty! Her hair would be so great for a lot of different styles, too. She's the one without layered hair and she has lighter eyes than the other blond hair/blue eyes doll.

MAG A3-G1978

 

This doll is fascinatingly beautiful. She's a doll that not many people have and I think she might be my next doll. I'm not sure yet but she's definitely on my wishlist!

I could go on and on with more MAG dolls but I'll stop here :)

Historicals:

Josefina Montoya

She is soo pretty! Josefina has really long hair which is really nice and I love her face mold!

Julie Albright

I have Julie and love her hair! She's lovely, I love her stories, and that's why I chose her :)

Cecile Rey & Marie-Grace Gardner

Cecile and Marie-Grace are definitely some of the most unique dolls out there! I have them and Cecile's curls are just AMAZING! 

Rebecca Rubin

Rebecca would have been the doll I got if I hadn't gotten Cecile (I got Marie-Grace later). She's very pretty and I like the outfit she come in.

Girl of the Year

My favorite Girl of the Year would be either Jess (2006) or Kanani (2011).

Here they are...

Jess ~ Girl of the Year 2006

She's got a great outfit and she's adventurous which I like :) She's pretty too.

Kanani ~ Girl of the Year 2011

I love her hair and skin tone and eye color and outfit and well...everything about her! I don't have her although I wish I had gotten her but I'm happy with the doll  I have. :)

So...that was super long but I hope you enjoyed!

Please comment letting me know what your favorite dolls are!

Also, I own none of these photos. All rights go to American Girl.

Have an AWESOME day!! Bye!

10 subs... Wait 12?!
