Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted for a while! Anyway, on to the photo:

Wow, that turned out small. xD

I think this would look amazing on MAG #60! What do you think?

Clothes you wish were Doll-sized!

Hi again!


  It's Dally.



  No posts this week? :(


Oh well. The topic for THIS week is..... Clothes that YOU Wish were doll sized! Pick one outfit that you love and wish your doll could wear!



  Here's mine:




I just think this dress would look great on Saige!

Reading + Dolls = Bliss

It's dark and snowy out, which means that you'll probably find my dolls reading somewhere.
  Oh, there they are!

 It looks like Marie Grace and Elizabeth are in a deep discussion about their reads.

  Hailee is reading Phantom Stallion, the cowgirl that she is.

 Saige must be... sleeping? Oh great.

 These titles are: 
  Insurgent by Veronica Roth
  Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
  The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
  Phantom Stallion series by Terri Farley

 What are YOU reading?

We're back up!

  Hi everyone!

It's Dally.

I'm not sure if you remember me, but we're back! :) I'd like to thank our 26 followers for your support. You guys are the bomb.com. We're sorry that our posts have been sparse for the past two months, but we're hoping to get everything back up and running!


  Our theme for next week is Dolls + Reading = Bliss! I will be kicking off the new week with a post on this topic on Saturday, and then the others will fill in on their days! We are missing a few members, but I am hoping that we can get some auditions going. If you're a follower or a visitor, I'd love to know if you'd like a spot on our team! We'd love to have you.


Let the posting begin!

Dream GOTY

Freckles, Gold hair with strawberry blonde highlights and it would be long.

Auditions....a paragraph about yourself.

Oh um....

I sorta hadn't checked back....I'm still here! :) Oh whoops this was more than amonth ago soo.......Is there a new person yet? :)

My dream at would be one with a more mature face (so she'd look around 14), red(straight, hair (like the color of Ariel' s), hazelish eyes, very light freckles, and light skin. I want her to look like Amelia Pond from Dr.Who. ;) go whovians!

My Dream GOTY and next weeks' topic

Thanks to Toygirl02 for another theme because no one posted on last week's theme!


   My dream AG would be a doll with blond/brown curly ringlets like #44's, brown eyes, fair skin, and Mia's freckles. She would have the Sonali mold.


   I tried to do a Ribbet picture of her, but I couldn't make the skin color lighter.






Our next topic is:

WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR AUDITIONS?

We need to have auditions for a new member and get this collab up and running again.....  so what are your ideas?

This weeks theme

Okay so no one is posting and I thought I should be the one to glue it back since no one is so this weeks theme are girl of the year guesses! So yeah since I'm Monday ( i think) here my guesses

  I think that the girl of the year will  have #55 hair and blue eyes and kits face mold

I don't know why though

I kinda want her to have friends that we can purchase cause that would be cool she's gonna be a ballerina. Her sisters name is Jade. I wish the actual GOTY name was Jade. Hopefully this is just a code name.

What do you think the GOTY will look like?

A New Topic....

Sorry I've been gone so long.... I was at several different summer camps and hoped someone would step up to the plate..... but it doesn't matter now, because I'm back! :)

  We have lost quite a few members to the wind.... Courtney and Madz. M are gone, and I'm not sure about the others..... let's see who we had:

Azure Yonder

Toygirl02

Jordy

Dally (That's meeee!)

Dollygirl

Give me a thumbs up or thumbs down (not literally) in the chat box to tell me if you're still going to be around.

  Also, thanks for trying to keep up with your posting! I know that the school year is upon us and it will be harder to post, but thanks for the effort. I'll try to keep it simple. :)


Anyways, about a new topic....

AUDITIONS! Yes, we do need two more members! So next week's topic will be: Come up with an idea for the auditions! I'll choose which one I like best at the end.

Um...???

What is the week's theme? What should we post about? Want to keep this up and running!

Newest Purchase...

For dolls? Um....I don't really BUY doll stuff anymore....I either am given used ones or I make them. :P

So...the newest thing I have GOTTEN for my AG doll, I MADE, it is a knit hat. :) I love knitting! :D

Madison #44

Hey toygirl02 here! With my newest doll MATTY! Shes number 44 from ag I got her for my birthday here some  

She's so cute 

She looks great in everything and anything! I recommend her 100% I don't have a pick but look how curly her hair is I had her about six months now 

Not bad for six months ;)

Okay, Okay. :)

I know that you guys are probably going to be mad at me for this..... but I had to post early because I am going to be gone Friday and Saturday. PLEASE post about your newest purchase for dolls! I'm going to give you guys another chance to post on this topic, and I'll start.

My gorgeous new doll, #46 Hailee, went on a photoshoot recently!


So have you gotten a special accessory, a new doll, clothes, or anything else? Also, you can tell us if you're GOING to get something very soon!


XOXOXOXO,

I'm Sorry

I know, I know, I'm not really holding up my end of the deal. :P I posted the topic Monday last time, and I don't have a photo story ready for you. I will share a video, though. It will count as a photostory with 400+ pictures.

A video introducing my new doll..... and that follows with our topic this week!


Please write a little blurb and some pictures of: YOUR NEWEST DOLL PURCHASE. Thanks!

P.S. Courtney and Azure will be gone on vacation (have fun!) and don't need to post if they don't want to, or if they can't.

A helping hand{A photostory}

Hi!! I am going on a vacation soon so this will be my last post for 2 weeks!! I also just heard the news, Mollly's retiring;(

 

It was the crack of dawn when Caroline woke up.

"I don't feel good!" Carolline exclaimed!

"Do you need anything" Saige asked. "Yes! I would like breakfast in bed!"

"I will be right back!" Said Saige!

"I'm Back! I hope you enjoy!!" said Saige!

"Thank you!! You are the best sister ever!"
 

Enjoy!!

Kit and Nellie Eat Out ~ A Photostory!!

Since I have one doll, and using just one can be boring, I figured I'd use a old photostory me and my friend did. You can see it here too: http://www.americangirlfan.com/2012/11/kit-and-nellie-eat-out-by-amelia-rebekah.html

In case you are wondering, my real name is not Azure. ;)

Kit and Nellie went out to eat.

Mia took Kit's order, but forgot to take Nellie's!

 

Mia brought Kits order. "You forgot our tea," Kit told their waitress. "And my food!" Nellie stated. "What is wrong with me?" Mia said to half-to-herself.

"What did you order again?" Mia asked. "Alphabet soup," Nellie replied.

"Here you are," Mia said. "Not to keep bugging you," Nellie spoke, "But...our tea!" "Oh! I'll be right back!!" Mia said quickly.

"My spaghetti is cold," Kit complained. "Where is she, anyway?" Nellie asked.

"Alright! Here is your green tea. You wanted green tea, right?" Mia said. "We wanted chamomile! But, we'll take this tea!!!" Both of them said. "Oh!" Mia exclaimed. "I'll be right back!" And Mia came back with chamomile tea.

 "Well, I have to say, this is the first time I've gotten my food before my drink." Nellie said. "I like this restaurant. Let's just make sure we don't get her as a waitress again!" Kit exclaimed.

My favorite thing about being a blogger.....

Well, we didn't get too big of a response on this topic, but I'm going to share my favorite thing about being a blogger.

I love the feeling of owning something that is just for you, a place where you can share things. Even if I aspire to be like other bloggers and sometimes have a pity party because I'm not "popular enough", I have a unique blog that no one can take away from me. And there are so many kind people out there.... I have a lot more friends on blogger than in real life! :) Thank you for following this blog and for all the support you've given us. It really means a lot.



Thank you!

Next week's topic is going to be......

Strike one for me! :P

Sorry I didn't post with my favorite doll paragraph! I was gone (at the AG Store) and totally spaced out. *Sigh* Anyways, you can read my trip report at my blog! :)


And I think Courtney is back for real this time. Yippee!



NEXT TOPIC:

What's your favorite thing about blogging? A short description, please.



Plus, I don't think that the "Strike" system will go into action quite yet. :P Too much work.

look who's Back!

Me!!!!!!!!!!! I know I haven't been on for awhile, and I don't have any excuses. I am really sorry that i haven't been on! I missed you guys! Ok then, until next time

xx~Courtney!!

My Favorite Doll Brand!!!

Hi everyone! It's Dollygirl! My favorite doll brand is American Girl!!!



My favorite doll brand is: American Girl

 

Why do you favor this doll brand above the others?

Because they're gorgeous, adorable, high-quality, and you can get historical dolls, just like you dolls, Bitty Babys, and Bitty Twins! There's something for everybody!

 

Do you own any of these dolls?
Yes! I have Kit and Samantha!

What are the price range of these dolls?

It depends, if you get them off of eBay (like me) then they're around $50-$70 but it depends on the doll! Like if she's retired she'll cost more. You can also get them at americangirl.com for $110 dollars.

Where can you buy them?

American Girl stores, americangirl.com, and eBay.

Would you recommend this brand to others? What age of collector?

DEFINITELY! American Girl is amazingly high quality not to mention absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I'd say that the age really depends on the doll, like if it's Kit, probably 6 and up because she has short hair, but Samantha or Caroline would probably be more like 9 and up because of the long curly hair!

 

My favorite doll brand!

I know It's not my day to post but most days I'm busy on Sunday (church)! So I figured I'd post now. +I didn't post yesterday so I hope I'm not in trouble...lol!

My favorite doll brand is: Fairyland

 

Why do you favor this doll brand above the others?

 Because they have awesome articulation and are completely customizable, you can change their wigs, eyes, face, etc...

 

Do you own any of these dolls?
Yes, My mom ordered me one a week ago but they come from Japan so it might be a month or two before she comes home :)

What are the price range of these dolls?

It depends, if you get a recast it's about $180 if you get a regular one it costs anywhere from $180-800 depending on which one you get! (Sidenote: I'm not spoiled I helped pay for half the doll and I don't get it till my birthday)

Where can you buy them?

online. Fairyland.com DenverDoll.com

Would you recommend this brand to others? What age of collector?

I don't have her yet but they look so awesome I would totally recommend the brand! I would say 13+

 

 

 

 

 

 The one I'm getting is the one on the right, she's a littlefee Luna! There are TONS of other dolls too!

 

 

 

My favorite doll brand

  My favorite doll brand is Barbie 

 I really don't know why.

  It just is

Why do you favor this doll brand above the others?

I favor them because sooooo many generations  love Barbie and I really don't know why I just do

Do you own any of these dolls?

Yes I own over 65! 
What are the price range of these dolls?

It really depends you can get some for $10 and if they can sing or from a Barbie movie it's probably around $25-$35 and special ones are $40+
Where can you buy them?

Toys r us,Target,Walmart
Would you recommend this brand to others? What age of collector?

Of course! Probably five I got my first one at three and her hair is so frizzy!

My Favorite Doll Brand is....

....A Life of Faith. As much as I ADORE American Girl, I prefer A Life of Faith a tiny bit. Mostly because I am Christian, but the dolls are actually good quality (I don't have one, but a family friend of ours does), they're historical, they are ADORABLE, and have lots of books (I don't really know how many. :P). Now, you have to note I haven't actually read the books, but I plan too. I don't know why they are my favorite series of dolls if I haven't read it though......?? :) They are actually discontinued, that is why I don't have them,  but I don't know how much they were originally. But you can get them on eBay, etc, for about $150-$400!! So I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon. I'd say it's for 9+.

Saturday Again?

I know, I'm supposed to be posting on Fridays. But I was late again, and I don't think Courtney is going to post. :( Oh well. Our new pages are up! I posted the info and photos that I was sent, and although I don't have all of them, I think it will suffice. Those of you who did send in your info did a great job.

I have an announcement to make. Starting this week, if you miss more than three of your posts consecutively  (unless you contact me a day in advance with a good reason to miss, not just "I'm busy"), then you will not be able to participate in this blog. I've seen some more commitment, but if you're not willing to post, then I think you should take a break and you might be able to come back later. This is a collab blog, and I think that we should work together as a team, or just disband altogether. So please hold up your end of the deal.


  This week's topic is going to be a bit more involved than the last one. I would like you to write a paragraph about your favorite doll brand. The things I am looking for:

Why do you favor this doll brand above the others?
Do you own any of these dolls?
What are the price range of these dolls?
Where can you buy them?
Would you recommend this brand to others? What age of collector?


Thanks,

Doll Apple Braid

Last night I took the pictures....so I decided to post it today after I was busy....now I'm quite bored.
Please don't use the pictures without my permission, and be sure to give me full credit for them...if I see them anywhere else I will be forced to watermark.

What you need:
Gold Clay
Green Clay
Doll Knife
Doll Rolling Pin
(I used Play*Dough, and I used the wrong colors because I didn't have the right ones. :P)

I put this cutting plastic on the desk to protect from Play*Dough.

How to make it:
1. Roll the green ''clay'' into balls. Set aside.

2. Roll out the gold ''clay'' with the rolling pin into a rectangle.

(I used a marker because I couldn't find my rolling pin for 'dolls'.)

3. Cut the dough with the knife (I used a paper cutter, again I couldn't find what I needed!!), about 1/3" thick through 1/3 of the dough. 

4. Follow step 3 with the other side.

5. Place some green clay balls on the center 1/3 of the gold dough....ech hem clay. The leftover balls put back into the container.

6. Fold one over, then fold one of the other side over, and so on.

I suppose if you use clay you could bake it, but I am using Play*Dough so I wouldn't know. :P

Here is the finished product.
