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!

Charlotte and Lilly's Birthday!

A days ago, Charlotte and Lilly Claire celebrated their birthday!

"Happy birthday Charlotte!" "Happy birthday Lilly!"

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!!

Behind the Scenes:

Right after I finished taking pictures for the story, Ruthie fell over. I took a picture. LOL

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.

Hi everyone! :)

I recently made videos on how to wash your doll's hair! I chose to do Lilly Claire's hair because I got her at a yard sale and I hadn't washed her hair yet. There are 5 parts because my camera kept going out of battery. Hope you like the videos and find them helpful! :)

Part 1:

Thanks for watching! Sorry I had to make so many parts.

Now for some pictures!

AND AFTER!!!!

Her hair is so smooth, shiny, silky and beautiful after washing her hair! Again, I used Herbal Essence Berry Tea & Orange Flower Shampoo and Conditioner. Always remember to ask a paren't permission before washing your doll's hair.

Thanks for watching and reading! :) More pictures and videos to come SOON!
