Fall Photo Contest!

Hi everyone!

As part of my Fall celebration, I am hosting my First Fall Photo Contest! Last year I had a Thanksgiving Photo Contest and I received some amazing entries for it! I hope you can enter this one too!



For this contest, please take one photo of your doll/s celebrating Fall! They could be wearing costumes, playing in the leaves, making pumpkin pie... whatever you like! Be creative! Please have a parent's permission before entering as well. You can email me your pictures to agfan2010@aol.com. Please include your name/nickname and your doll/s names.

Your photos will be judged on creativity, the background, the lighting, and how your doll looks. (I mean your doll's hair should be neatly fixed, etc.) Tip: Photos often look better when they are taken outside because the lighting is very nice for pictures. Of course you can take them inside too, if you wish.

The winner will receive three fall themed posters, a fall related prize for dolls, and an award for their blog! Everyone who participates will receive an award for their blog too! I, sadly, can only ship to the U.S. I am sorry. :( You can still enter, even if you don't live in the U.S., if you want, and receive a participation award though! :)

You have until Friday, October 28th to send me your pictures! I will post everyone's pictures on Saturday, October 29th and announce the winner!

Have fun! Check back soon for more Fall Scavenger Hunts, games, and fun!

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.)
















Lilly and Chrissa had so much fun! I made the party hats from the Doll Parties Craft Kit!





















Charlotte opened a present as well!






















Lilly is all excited at her party!!

My Doll Display!

Do you have a special place where you keep your dolls? Do you display them somewhere?

I have a special place for mine in my room, where they are displayed! :)
















I keep them on top of my book case, where most of my American Girl/doll related items are stored underneath. I keep some other AG/doll things in my closet and in other places around my room when I am not using them. I also have a smaller book case where my AG books are kept.
















My American Girl storage area!
















My Doll Room! I made many of the items found in this room and sewed the quilting for the bed.

I used a Hello Kitty trunk and covered it with a cloth and turned it into a desk as well.

I have also been collecting the AG Catalogs for a long time now.
































My own American Girl library! :D lol

Thanks for reading about my American Girl display and storage area! :)

Where do you store your AG things? Do you have a doll room? I would love to know!







Please check back soon for another exciting Doll Fun Special! If you have any ideas for future Doll Fun Specials, please email me at agfan2010@aol.com.

Chrissa and Ruthie

Not much has been going on today. It has been rainy and gloomy. I hope the sunshine comes out soon. I took a few photos of Chrissa and Ruthie a few days ago.

















I made Chrissa's outfit at a sewing camp one year. You can see more outfits I made HERE  and HERE
You can see more HERE as well.
Have you ever made an outfit? I am planning on making something else very soon... I have not started on it yet, but I will post the results when it's finished.

Doll Food: Doll Fun Special # 1!

Welcome to the first Doll Fun Special! I have a fun craft to show you all, which you can easily make for your doll/s!

You will need some different colors of clay. Sculpey clay is a good brand. You will also need a clean work space and a paper plate to put your clay on. You might also want to use some tools such as a knife, so you can shape the clay into "food".

















I recently made a bunch of foods for my dolls using this clay! I made s'mores, a chocolate chip cookie, a banana popsicle, a hamburger, a pepperoni pizza, and a lollipop.



































For the s'more, just get some light brown clay, dark brown clay, and white clay. Then cut two small doll sized squares of the light brown clay and shape them into two graham crackers. Add some dark brown clay and white clay in the middle for the melted marshmellow and chocolate.

The lollipop is very simple to make. You just shape some dark pink clay (or what ever color you want) into a circle and slip a cut tooth pick through it.

If you want to make a chocolate chip cookie, mold the light brown clay into a small circle and add little "chocolate chips." (pieced of dark brown clay)

I love my banana popsicle. Just take some yellow clay and shape it into a popsicle. Add a toothpick through it and you're done! (You can even make double popsicles or different "flavors".)

The hamburger is a little more difficult, but it's not too hard. Shape some light brown clay into hamburger buns. In between, shape circular like shapes of green, red, yellow or gold, and dark brown clay. (This will be the lettuce, tomato, cheese, and meat.) Optional: Finally add small white pieces of clay on top of the bun to look like sesame seeds.

The pizza is also neat to make! Sculp some light brown clay into a circle. Add a circle of red clay on top. Finally add uneven shapes of white or ivory clay and place firmly on top of the red clay, leaving some red clay showing. This part can be complicated and will probably take the longest. You can also add red circles on top for pepperoni! You choose!

After you have finished your food, you can bake it in the oven, so that it will harden. I still need to do that... LOL

Then give it to your doll/s! :)





















You can make various other treats for your doll as well! You could make candy bars, fruit, a cake, a pie, and lots MORE! Just be creative and have fun!

I hoped you enjoyed reading my first Doll Fun Special! (I think I will be posting another one this month, but when the school year comes around, these types of posts will probably be only once a month. It all depends on how much time I have...

Oh and I decided to post these regularly on my blog, but made a separate page on the top of my blog for all my past posts, so you can easily read one if you missed one. Thank you Rachel for the idea! :)
