Goodbye McKenna...

Heyy guys! So McKenna's first item sold out a few weeks ago and now a lot of her collection is sold out. What isn't sold out is back-ordered except her books and DVD which will be out after she's retired. McKenna Brooks was a very popular doll, especially since the Olympics were this year. I remember seeing her picture for the first time at the very end of December 2011 and thinking she'd be a great doll to add to my collection. (At the time I had 3, almost 4 dolls as I would end up getting one very soon.) Now, I have 6 (due to 2 surprise dolls) and am glad I stopped myself from getting McKenna. Not because she isn't an amazing doll, she is so pretty and I love her hair. I just wasn't totally into the gymnastics theme of her stories. I actually used to do gymnastics and if I still did, she would definitely have been one of my favorite dolls. However, I don't do gymnastics anymore so she wasn't the best fit for me, but she's a super amazing GOTY.
It's actually really hard to believe that McKenna will soon be gone :(
We'll miss seeing you so much McKenna, but you'll be remembered forever!

The Result Are In! Poll #5

Heyy guys! I held a poll on my blog for the past few weeks. Since Saige is a really big topic now in the AG community, that's what I made the question about.

21 people voted and here's the results:

The Question... Will You Be Purchasing Saige?

Definitely                                      (52%)    11 People

If I like the rest of her collection    (14%)     3 People

Maybe...                                      (28%)     6 People

No                                               (4%)       1 Person

So that's what you voted :)

My opinion: I think that I will be purchasing Saige. I started saving for her in August :) I was just so excited for a new GOTY. When I found out that she would be into art it just made me 10x more excited...I love art: some of my favorites in art specifically are drawing and coloring.

GOTY 2013 Events at AG Places

Heyy guys! I was on the American Girl website the other day, and noticed that they had posted the special events for her in 2013.

Her debut is January 1,2,3, and 4 - Girl of the Year 2013 Debut. It says," Celebrate the arrival of our newest Girl of the Year! She's a spirited girl who uses her imagination to create art and inspire change. At this special event, your girl can be among the first to learn about this new character's world. Join us for demonstrations, crafts, free giveaways, and more.

Other events include Girl of the Year 2013 Crafts and a Scavenger Hunt.
Girl of the Year 2013 Crafts - "She can discover her creative side with our newest Girl of the Year! Join in the fun during this free event, where your girl can make crafts inspired by the stories of our newest contemporary character.

Girl of the Year 2013 Scavenger Hunt - "Learn about our newest Girl of the Year! Your girl will go on a fun-filled scavenger hunt, collecting fun facts about our Girl of the Year 2013 along the way. Plus, she'll get a free American Girl poster at the end!

The way that they explained her made it sound like her stories will be more about art than horses. "...spirited girl who uses her imagination to create art and inspire change."

Another event they have is the GOTY 2013 Celebration.

Saige GOTY 2013 with Picture

Heyy guys! A photo of the doll Saige is here! Who/where/when the photo was taken by is unknown, and Doll Diaries has the photo on their website. I decided to share my opinion. Here she is:

She's so pretty! She has a fair complexion, different than what most people thought she would have. Since the book description said she lived in New Mexico, people though she would have a more Hispanic complexion. So I must say that I was surprised to see what she looks like. She is very pretty though!! She has blue-ish eyes (2 year in a row!) and brownish hair. I was surprised that she had blue eyes though...McKenna and now Saige do, that's two Girl of the Year's in a row. He hair is brown, although it looks like it has some brownish-red in it. Her meet outfit is very cute. It looks to be two separate pieces, although it may be a dress. Her horse is on the cover with her and you can see the Meet book better here. 

Also, I apologize for not posting in a while....my family's house lost power due to the storm.

So, do you like Saige GOTY 2013? Leave your opinion down below :)
