New American Girl Closet Hideout!!

Hello!! This weekend we cleaned out our closet and made an American Girl Doll Hideout!! In the hideout there are 2 benches, a sofa chair, and a table we made. It can fit up to five dolls at once ( two dolls in each bench, and one in the sofa chair). This area can be a hang-out room, a restaurant, or it can even be made in to a temporary bedroom. Here are the pictures of the new closet hideout!! Also please comment telling us if you have a secret hideout for your dolls, and tell us how you like ours.
Isn't this room so cool?? How do you like the table we made?

 


Here is Jessie, Julie, Kailey, and Kaya chilling in the lounge area.

Long Time No Post + Updates + and some old photos I found!!

Hello!! Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. The last few weeks have been crazy. First our hamsters started to fight so we separated them. Then within a few days cinnamon (the hamster) escaped. We looked forever for him, and we found him under our dresser. Also please pray for my Grandpa, he was sent in an ambulance today.

So enough with the sad news, I just thought I would show you some pics that were taken 1-2  years ago that I found on my Dad's flash drive!! Enjoy!!
This is a picture of a house we had for our dolls made out of a
dishwasher box. But the top caved in and ripped so we had to
get rid of it.

This is my Rebecca just months after I got her picking tomatoes
that we grew in pots.

Cookies!!!

Hi it's Ruthie again!!

After playing in the snow, I got very hungry, so Anne (my owner) made chocolate chip cookies!

I ate one with a glass of milk!

Mmmm

They were delicious!

I LOVE cookies! Do you? What is your favorite type of cookie!

This was kind of a silly post, but I felt like posting it anyway!

Another Snow Day!

Hi everyone!

This is Ruthie writing a post!

Did you get snow today? We sure did and because of it the schools closed and.... we could get up to eight more inches tonight!!!! :) Yippee!! :D

Today I got all bundled up and went out to play in the snow!
















My favorite boots!




My foot prints. :) And Anne's

The snow is not very deep yet for me, but tommorow it will probably be!


I had so much fun outside in the snow!! I LOVE my pink boots, they kept me warm! I like my coat too and I might be getting a new one later! I've been wanting a soft white coat for a long time!

I hope I can play in the snow again soon with my sisters!

So if you got snow, be sure to play in it! You'll have fun!

Bye for now!

Samantha's Ocean Liner Adventure!

Hi everybody!!!

Today, I am going to do another book review!

Samantha's Ocean Liner Adventure
















The Cover :D
















Nellie, Bridget, and Jenney give Samantha a scrapbook, so she can write all about what about a ship is like.





















The Fashions :)


















Samantha gets to visit the captain of the SS Londonia!

This book tells all about what a ship would have been like back then in 1906. There are many interesting facts about the ship like what the rooms were like, the food, gardens, the fashions, etc. I like this book and I give it an A+!

This book is retired not, but you can find it on the Amazon website!

Hope you enjoyed reading my book review!

I have some other fun posts planned for the weekend too! I have a three day weekend and I finished four out of six exams at school, so I have some more time to post!

How We Got Into American Girl Dolls (Requested)

Hello!! We had some requests from awesome bloggers to tell a story of how we got into American Girl Dolls. Sorry that it is long!!
So it all started when my cousin came over and she had American Girl Dolls. We looked at the magazine she had and it was the summer 2003 magazine that had Kailey in it. We were looking through all the dolls and Felicity caught Catherine's eye, and she immediatly wanted her. I saw Samantha, and the moment I saw her, I just knew she was the right doll to buy. This of course was when we were very young, we were five or six at the time. The following birthday (2004) my mom brought down big boxes, and when we opened them sure enough they were Felicity and Samantha!! They were more than any of us could ever expect because we had only seen them in the magazine!! Ever since then, we have loved American Girl Dolls, and over the six years we have loved them, and our AG family has grown from 2 to 12! We play with and collect American Girl Dolls! We will always love them! Here is the order in which we got our dolls:
2004-Samantha and Felicity(for our birthday!)
2005-Elizabeth(Julie's doll)
2007-Emily(from the AG place) and Addy(from a garage sale) (both Catherine's dolls)
2008-Kit and Ruthie(for our birthdays)(Ruthie is Catherines and Kit is Julies)
2009-Rebecca(Julie's doll-for her birthday) Julie(Julie's doll)
2010-Kailey and Jessie(from garage sales-Catherine has Kailey and Jessie is Julies) Kaya(from AG Boston Catherine's doll)

If you read up to here, you are awesome!! How did you get into AG?? PLEASE COMMENT!

This is a picture taken last year (before Samantha went to the hospital)

Inner Star Book Review # 1- Braving the Lake

Hi everyone!

I recently got some Innerstar books at the library, so I thought it would be cool to do a review about each of them! :)

I got Braving the Lake, Fork in the Trail, A Girl's Best Friend, and Taking the Reins.

I also looked on the American Girl Bookseller site and saw two NEW Innerstar University books called
Into the Spotlight and A Winning Goal! I also saw another neat book called Doll Dining and Doll Hair Salon!!! I will definitely be getting Doll Dining! :D

I read Braving the Lake first, so I will do a review about it today!

Braving the Lake





















This book is about a girl, (YOU) who is invited to your friend, Emmy's birthday party. (They don't say the name of the girl because the book is written as if you are the girl.) Does that make sense? Emmy decides to have a party at a neaby lake. But you are incredibly afraid of lakes. In the story, you can choose many different endings. You might decide not to go to the party or you might decide to go to the party. Some endings lead to access on the Innerstar University website. It was interesting to read the different endings! It didn't take me very long to read each story, but it was still fun to read! I give this book an A+!

Also, my Innerstar University username is Charlotte36. I think I am already friends with some of you.

Have you read this book yet? Which is your favorite Innerstar university book? What do you think of it?

My Review of Kanani and AG Outfits!

Hi everybody!

Since Kanani and a bunch of outfits just came out, I decided to do my own review about them! I recently received my catalog, so here are some pictures! :)

Kanani is so beautiful! :) I love her hair!

The Snow cone maker is adorable, especially the pineapple!! I love that outfit as well, I might get it!
Cute pajamas! I'd like to get those! The chair is nice too!

Her accessories are all so neat! I hope to get some of her accessories.


Pretty Hawaiian Outfit! It's so cool!

I think this dress for Kit is gorgeous!!!

I LOVE this outfit! This is definitely an outfit I plan to buy! It's my favorite new item from AG! :)

I probably won't be getting Kanani, but I might. I'm not quite sure yet. I will be going to the American Girl place this summer at Tysons Corner when it opens though! I may get an AG doll there! :) I will have to look at Kanani and her things up close and decide for sure.

What is your favorite new thing from American Girl? What do you think of Kanani? Did you buy Kanani yet or are you planning to buy her?
