My Prizes from Sassy Doll Creations!
Yesterday, I received my prizes from Sassy Doll Creations in the mail! I won a $25 gift certificate to Pamela's shop from a giveaway on Doll Diaries, so I picked out two dresses to purchase!
She sews so many beautiful doll clothes, which she sells on her website and etsy, so it was hard to pick out which outfits I wanted to buy! :)
I decided to buy the Zebra Hot Pink Dress with Bloomers and the Black, Pink and White Dress!
Both dresses are very fashionable, CUTE, and very well made!
Charlotte and Chrissa modeling the adorable dresses!
I love the bow and band in the middle of the dress! So stylish!
The zebra print is so neat! The colors go together so well.
Thank you so much for these lovely outfits Pamela! My dolls and I love them!

Are they retiring a doll this year?
Ok, so recently I emailed American Girl about if they were retiring a doll this year. Also who do you think is retiring, or do you even think they will retire any doll(s) because Cecile and Marie Grace just came out? Here is the response I got:
Dear American Girl friend,
Thank you for writing to us. We appreciate your question about the
possibility of archiving other historical characters.
Decisions of this nature are carefully considered. We look at a variety
of business factors to determine which of our characters to archive and
when. In the past, we have notified our customers about archived dolls
in early October. At this point, it is too soon to tell if and when we
will archive our next character and who it will be. The best way to
learn about the newest developments at American Girl is to visit our
website regularly at americangirl.com.
Thank you for your interest in American Girl!
Sincerely,
American Girl Customer Service
Is american girl telling the truth that they really don't know or are they just saying that? Will they announce a retirement this year? I guess we will find out in October!

They enjoyed delicious party treats, such as pizza, cake, ice cream, and soda. (The soda and chocolate syrup are lip glosses from Hershey Park. The cake and ice cream set is from American Girl! I made the presents.)

I just wanted to give you a little update on everything there will be some fall posts soon and more so stay tuned!! Thanks for everything!
Some Changes and Updates
Hi everyone!
I decided to make a few changes to my blog. Some of you have asked me to put your banners/buttons on my blog. My right sidebar was becoming very crowded and I don't think I have much picture space left in it.
So... I have moved your buttons/banners to my Links page instead. If you do not see your button in my sidebar, that is where it is.
I updated my Awards page as well, so you can go apply for one if you want.
Regarding the future Doll Fun Specials, if you have any ideas I would love it if you emailed me.
Most of you have probably heard of the American Girl Contest. There is also a similar type of contest for A Life of Faith dolls, which you may be interested in. I am now hosting this contest over at Life of Faith Doll Contest. No one has signed up yet... In the past we had people sign up though.
I have also added a Back to School Giveaway button on my right sidebar, so you can easily enter!
(I am very sorry I am only able to ship to the U.S. I know that some people were disappointed. :( My mom only wants me to ship to the U.S. otherwise I would definitely do it. I hope you'll understand.)
Anyway, I just wanted to notify of all blog updates and changes. :)
Bye for now,

Back to School Fun! Doll Fun Special # 2
Have you gone back to school yet? I went back on Tuesday. It was my first day of eleventh grade, junior year of high school! The homework load is definitely heavier this year and I have a lot of activities as well... sigh... I wish it was still summer.
Since it is around the time you go back to school, I decided to do a Back to School themed Doll Fun Special! Have fun reading some school ideas!
A few years ago I found some miniature school accessories, which are perfect for dolls!
Some of the things I found include, notebooks, sticky notes, tape, rulers, a stapler, and scissors! The calculator was made from the Doll School Craft Kit!
This backpack is also just too cute!
You can probably find these types of items at your local pharmacy, dollar store, or party store. They are not usually too expensive. I found mine at two pharmacies near me.
This is Molly's desk that my older sister is letting me borrow for a little while. I can store some of the supplies in here!
These lunchboxes I got from Target. They were selling these adorable Coca Cola and Sprite lunch boxes in the dollar section. Using clay, you can sculp "food" for your dolls and pack it for them in their lunchboxes. :) I got the idea from Doll Diaries! Target sometimes has surprise doll sized finds in their dollar section, so you might want to check it out!
You can also make many doll sized school supplies yourself! You could make a mini compostition book for your doll by cutting out pieces out of an old notebook (with a parent's permission) and stapling paper in between them. Cutting slips of paper and making pretend worksheets is another fun idea.
Go HERE to check out a tutorial on how to make a doll school locker!
For even more doll school craft ideas, check out the Doll School Craft Kit from American Girl!
What have you made for your doll? Have you made any school supplies for them?
P.S. If you miss a Doll Fun Special, you can easily read any past ones from the last months in my NEW page titled Doll Fun Specials. (I add the one from the previous month each time I post a new one.)
