Charlotte's Review of Molly's Tap Outfit

Hi everyone! :)

This is Charlotte, Anne's doll! Anne's really nice older sister gave her some AG outfits and accessories a few days ago to borrow! One of the outfits she got was Molly's Tap outfit! I decided to try it on! Anne took pictures of me!

Don't I look cute? :)

I love this costume! Do you like it?

I'm going to wear this for the 4th of July! :)

TTYL, Bye!

How to Make Doll Flip Flops- Craft # 1!

Hi everyone! :)

I decided to have some craft tutorials on my blog! Since it's summer, the first craft I will show you is doll flip flops!



Materials:

Craft Foam
Cardboard or thick index card
Ribbon
Scissors
Glue
Pen

Tutorial:

1. Begin by tracing both of your dolls feet on the craft foam. (Be careful not to get pen on your doll's foot.)

2. Next, cut both the tracings out.

3. Take your cardboard out and trace your foam tracings on to it.

4. Cut the cardboard tracings out.

5. Cut two 2-3 inch pieces of ribbon.

6. Glue the ribbon around each foam tracing, so that your doll's foot can go through the ribbon like a flip flop.

7. Next, glue the foam tracings to the cardboard tracings.

8. Make sure there is no extra foam or cardboard sticking out around the flip flop.

10. Try them on your doll!

I hope you enjoyed learning how to do this craft and I hope you have fun making them!

Do you have any suggestions for crafts you would like to me show you in the future? I might be able to

A Cool Doll Sized Find!

Hi everyone! :)

Today, my mom and I went to Michaels Craft Store! I needed to get some materials to make the things in my doll party kit. While I was looking around, I noticed a section with doll sized food!
LOOK what I found!

A mini ice cream cone and cupcake! At first I thought they were erasers, but they actually aren't. They are perfect for your AG dolls or your other dolls!

Rebecca loves cupcakes!


She also loves ice cream! :) She looks so cute holding it! :)

ADORABLE!

You can find these at Michaels for $1.00 each.

Do any of you have these? I think they are really neat, especially to use for your dolls!

My entry for Roses are Read's Summer Photo Contest!

Hi everyone!

I decided to enter Roses are Read's Summer Photo Contest!

This is the photo I decided to use!



Charlotte loves the outside!

What does summer mean to me?
When I think of summer, I think of being outside on a sun- shiny day! I love the sunshine, the trees, and the grass. Summer means sitting outside and reading your American Girl magazine with your doll and a glass of lemonade on a sunny day!

Hope you like it!

I will post more pictures of Rebecca this week too! :)

Hope you all are having a great summer!

Remember the American Girl Real Beauty Products?

Hi everyone!

A few years ago, American Girl sold a line of beauty products called Real Beauty for girls. There was shampoo, lip gloss, lotion, shower gel and much more! There is also a book which you can still get called, Real Beauty. I really like these products! I was able to get many of the products a few years ago. Unfortunately, American Girl discontined them. :( Here are a few pictures of my AG Real Beauty stuff!



The shampoo and lip gloss smell really good! :)










Do any of you remember these? Do you have any Real Beauty products from American Girl?
