When I shared my “Picks of the Week” last week I was so surprised at how much you loved it so I guess I will share some of my favorites posts this week again. Looking for a fun craft to do with Easter candy? Anna at Doll-It-Up.com shows you how to make mini candy Easter [...]
“Okay girls, line up smallest to tallest!” Ruthie directed. “Well I am in the back,” Chrissa said rolling her eyes. “Yes, I have an advantage!” yelled Hadley. “On your mark, get set, GO!” Ruthie screamed. “I found two eggs!” yelled Hadley. “Oh yeah? I found three!” Chrissa replied. “I see more! In that little doll [...]
Natalie here! I have been in a creative mood today so I have decided to write a photo story for your enjoyment! So without further ado, I present The Missing Egg. “Come on in!” exclaimed Ruthie. Chrissa and Hadley walked into Ruthie’s small brick farm house.” Girls! I have not seen you in like forever! [...]
How was your week? We had a good, busy week – just how I like it. Let’s get started! From Gracekelly – with Felicity in Colonial Williamsburg From Allyson - All week me and my sweet doll worked on making cute animations – you can watch them on YouTube. Just search ‘purpleson thepurpledino’. From Tarynn - Chrissa was [...]
I love Diana’s photo stories and am happy to be able to share this one with you today. Lizzie and Becky are getting ready to call their friends. Becky got tickets to the Spring and Summer Fashion Show on Saturday. On Saturday the girls meet at the Fashion show and Becky gives them their tickets. [...]
There are so many great ideas, photos and articles that I read each week and I really need to get better about sharing them with you! I can not guarantee how often I am going to do this, and it is not meant to replace the monthly Spotlight Sites award, either. Here are the Doll [...]
Madelon has found us another fun day to celebrate! Today is National Puppy Day. Madelon’s Kit is starting the day with a group snuggle with her puppies! And on National Puppy Day, one of their dogs can sit in the “special chair!” McKenna is spending time with Coconut – American Girl’s first and most famous [...]
When we were growing up (yes, Sharry, Diana, Madelon, Sherie, myself and many of the other ”moms” who are part of the Doll Diaries community), we had just a few kid-focused TV shows to watch – Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood are the first two that come to my mind. Mr. Rogers was a [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! So, before we take a look at the wonderful photos you sent in this week, I have two quick things. First, thank you SO much for all the kind words and positive thoughts this week when I was sick. Second, I have a small request… can we PLEEEAAASSEEEE stop with [...]
In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, I did a quick photo shoot with three of our dolls yesterday. In their Irish best, we have Carpatina 18″ slim body Celtic Princess Rowena, American Girl Historical Nellie wearing her Irish Dance Outfit of Today, and American Girl of the Year Saige in the Carpatina Celtic Princess gown [...]
Are you ready for another photo story treat? This is from Diana and therefore, you know it will be good! Enjoy! It was such a beautiful day! Saige decided to go horseback riding with Picasso. Saige sees Dabbie resting on the park bench. Hi Dabbie! says Saige. Dabbie waves and replies “Hi Saige!” (poor little bunny, [...]
This is a photo story submitted by Alyssa. “I’m coming McKenna!” Saige yelled as she ran back from the barn with her helmet. McKenna had waited all week for Saturday so Saige would give her a ride on Cookie Dough! (AKA Picasso) “Ok are you ready McKenna?” Saige asked. “Definitely!” McKenna responded. “Ok, so I’ll [...]
I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE seeing before and after photos of dolls who have been “rescued” from Goodwill, eBay or yard sales and then given a whole new outlook on life. Diana has an amazing talent for finding these dolls to rescue and her “after” photos are just amazing. Here are [...]
**This may be the only post today. I have got a bad case of the stomach flu and do not know how much I will be able to do today. Luckily Kay and Holly from the Spicy’s Doll Blog were kind enough to share another one of their doll photography tips with us today. – Char [...]
I hope you had a good week! After Wednesday’s snow storm where we got 8″ of snow, it now really feels like Spring! I am ready for things to green up so we can do more outdoor photo shoots again. Also, we managed to max out the storage on the server last night so if [...]
Diana has a short photo story for you to enjoy today while I put the finishing touches on the Sunday Showcase! Chrissa, Dabbie and Helen were excited to attend the grand opening of The Pink Lassie Musical Group. They are the #1 girl group of the year and their records are on top of the [...]
It’s time for the March Spotlight Sites! These are sites that I have found this month and thought you might enjoy, too. Every month I get asked about how does a site get to be a spotlight site. The things I look for are – regular content, original ideas and photos, and is it a [...]
Time for a thought provoking question!! What do you look for in a doll? In other words, what qualities are you looking for in a doll before you are willing to part with your hard earned money for her? Is it her face? Her size? The way she can move? The price? The quality? Or [...]
Snow day!! We woke up to more snow than we have had in two years and it is still snowing. As it got light enough outside to see, Saige decided to go investigate. She put on Maplelea Taryn’s snowsuit and ventured outside. It is supposed to keep snowing all day, and our power has “tried” [...]
I have a few more tasks to take care of this morning before I can do the photo shoot of today’s doll of the day (any guesses as to who it is?), but I thought I would share another quick photo story with you first. This is from Diana. Saige wearing the roller skating outfit [...]
