Our Bitty Baby and one of the twins have joined the Halloween parade dressed as a puppy and a kitten.

Get in on the fun! Submit your dolls’ (American Girl, My Twinn, Build a Bear, Webkinz, Barbie, the works!) photos for our Halloween parade. You can submit them by joining the Doll Diaries forum and posting your photos in the Halloween Costume thread, or you may email them to me at share@dolldiaries.com. Check back each day this week as I add new photos.

I recently redid my youngest daughter’s room and decided that she no longer needed a gazillion little toys stored in her storage caddy. Instead, we organized her Bitty Baby (and Bitty Twins) collection into labeled bins so she could easily find the items she wants and she knows where they go back, too.

If you have doll storage ideas you’d like to share, drop us a note at share@dolldiaries.com. Feel free to included pictures – we love pictures.

You can see some more doll storage ideas at:

• The Ultimate Doll House
  
• American Doll Storage & Display
• American History in Miniature’s Storage page

It’s official! Julie and Ivy are now part of the American Girl historical doll collection. Julie, Ivy and the first pieces of their collections are now available on the American Girl web site. Julie has her own page on the Historical Characters page.

Her new games include a fun basketball game and a New Year’s Eve game. There are Julie desktop wallpapers, a book excerpt, e-cards and a page about Julie’s family and friends.

Above is a photo of the three most loved, most played with dolls in our house. Daisy, Penelope and Rose have a very caring and imaginative little mommy who is always dressing them, taking them on adventures, having picnics for them, and making sure they are feeling well.

Penelope (Bitty Baby) was her original doll and she is still the favorite. Penelope has been all over the world and has also been to AGPNY where she helped her mommy pick out Bitty Twins Daisy and Rose.
