Cute Doll Sized Lunchboxes

My daughters and I just got back from Target where we found the most adorable, doll-sized tin lunchboxes in the $1 aisle.

American Girl Chrissa and Kit with doll size lunchboxes

They are even big enough to hold doll lunch!

We only saw them in Coca Cola or Sprite designs, but there may be others. At $1 they were too cute to pass up.

    awwwwwwww those are so cute!!! I’m getting one!

  12. Lily on June 28th, 2009 4:15 pm

    People really aren’t talking today, so I don’t know which post we’re on.

  13. priscilla on June 28th, 2009 4:21 pm

    they’re cute,but i really don’t need one right now.

  14. Chrysanthamum on June 28th, 2009 5:16 pm

    that is cute!

  15. Bookworm on June 28th, 2009 5:45 pm

    Kit looks so cute!

  16. Selena on June 28th, 2009 5:56 pm

    i’mmm sooooo bboooorrrrrreeeeeeddddddd.

    from the other thread..

    that’s gr8 priscilla!! and not trying to brag, but If I finish “The Hobbit” (i started it today) by tomorrow, my mom will buy me one/some of Rebecca’s books!!

  17. Lily on June 28th, 2009 6:52 pm

    I was forced to read (and annotate) the Hobbit for school two years ago. Reading it was fun. Annotating it wasn’t.

  18. Selena on June 28th, 2009 7:35 pm

    It’s pretty good. But the book report is HORRIIIIBBBLLLLEEEEE.

  19. Anne on June 28th, 2009 8:13 pm

    Those are so cute! My mom and I were in Target today, too, returning some clothes that we bought yesterday that didn’t fit. We didn’t see them there.

    And I must say that Kit looks wonderful in Chrissa’s meet outfit.

  20. pioneerfan04 on June 28th, 2009 9:55 pm

  22. AG&FAN on June 28th, 2009 11:22 pm

    So cute…..
    And I wonder where they sell the small mini-sized food for dolls
    other than American Girl Company(most likely,people m-
    akes them.)

  23. Anne on June 29th, 2009 12:18 am

    Hey everyone – the new outfits are up on the AG site. Yay! They look cool…

  24. Georgia on June 29th, 2009 1:22 am

    Sara, How do you know how to speel supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? I know coz there is a song that spells it out. but how do you know?

  25. Georgia on June 29th, 2009 2:32 am

    The New AG things are cute! I like the petal hoodie outfit. and the school lunch set.

  26. Georgia on June 29th, 2009 2:35 am

    But it doesn’t look like there’s anything new for the historicals.

  27. Georgia on June 29th, 2009 2:36 am

    My Rebecca was really hoping for a new outfit. And Julie too.

  28. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:57 am

    I told you guys, only Bitty and JLY would be getting things.

    I don’t really like any of the new things, or if I like the outfit, there’s a minor detail that annoys me (PUPRLE jazz shoes????)

  29. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:58 am

    I told you guys, only Bitty and JLY would be getting things.

  30. Sara on June 29th, 2009 7:59 am

    Georgia~ I just pay attention when they spell it out in the Broadway version! I can also say it backwards- fast!!!!

  31. Lily on June 29th, 2009 8:40 am

    Why would someone waste $58 on a doll carrier? Or $28 on a doll lunch that doesn’t even have a drink? Or $18 on doll washcloths?

    The new stuff is okay. The Honey PJs are cute. I liked the old soccer outfit better. Looks like I’m going to have to hunt it down elsewhere now.

  32. Lena on June 29th, 2009 8:46 am

    Agreed Lily. Ag’s accessories are very overpriced.

    I’m meh on new things. They all look so tight! And I don’t mean cool.

    That, and I have some little nit piks here and there.

  33. priscilla on June 29th, 2009 10:03 am

    i love the new sparkling angel outfit!!!! though they are kinda overpriced…

  34. Lily on June 29th, 2009 10:21 am

    I’m not crazy about everything either. I wish they didn’t have to release a girl version of every doll outfit. I wish they’d just release more doll outfits.

    I like the new spa chair and spa stuff. Expensive, but cute.

  35. Lena on June 29th, 2009 10:28 am

    The spa stuff looks like the ones available at Target.

    I don’t really like the new clothes. If I do like it, there’s something preventing me from getting it… like purple jazz shoes.

  36. Lena on June 29th, 2009 10:29 am

    I don’t really like the new clothes. If I do like it, there’s something preventing me from getting it… like purple jazz shoes.

  37. Lena on June 29th, 2009 10:30 am

    Ok, why’s almost every comment I make awaiting moderation?

  38. Sara on June 29th, 2009 10:46 am

    I love all of the new outfits!!!!!! I love the dress up set for the Bitty Twins!!!! So cute!!!!!

  39. Char on June 29th, 2009 11:01 am

    Lena – sorry about that. Sometimes when you post too quickly the system gets a little weird and throws cooments into moderation.

  40. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:03 am

    It’s Ok. That’s what I though it was, but I couldn’t be sure.

  41. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:24 am

    Hmm . . . decisions, decisions. I’m trying to figure out which 2 JLY outfits I’m going to buy. Right now I’m leaning toward the jazz and tap outfits. I may get the flutter flower outfit and the petal hoodie instead.

    Shopping List:
    Julie & accessories
    Emily & accessories
    Emily’s swimsuit
    Molly’s swimsuit
    Julie’s b-day outfit
    Kirsten’s b-day outfit
    JLY outfit
    JLY outfit

  42. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:25 am

    Ugh . . . but I still want Rebecca and Chrissa. Christmas, I guess.

  43. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 11:25 am

    ok, duz any1 watch da show trueblood? i wanna watch it, but i wanna kno how it is 1st b4 i waste my time watching it. o, and when the twilight barbies come out i am so getting them!

  44. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:25 am

    I’ve never heard of Trueblood. Sorry!

  45. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:27 am

    Okay, I think I might crack and buy Chrissa instead of Emily or Julie. I love her swim team gear.

  46. Sara on June 29th, 2009 11:30 am

    Any1 get there new catalog yet?

  47. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:32 am

    No, it takes AG awhile to send out catalogues. When I got the first catalog since Rebecca’s release in mid-June, Rebecca wasn’t even in it.

  48. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 11:35 am

    OMG any of you see the new ag outfits?!? I have 300 dollars what should I use it on?

  49. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:41 am

    Yeah, I’ve always said Addy looks horsey (just look at the older posts). I wish she just had the classic mold. Originally, she did.

  50. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:42 am

    Pioneerfan, I wath Trueblood and it’s pretty good. I like it.

  51. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:42 am

    What happened to that comment that I just responded to?

  52. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:43 am

    Lena, did you know about any of these outfits in advance?

  53. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:43 am

    Addy with a classic mold? I’d cry. Africans don’t look like that.

  54. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:44 am

    Some do.

  55. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:44 am

    I’ve seen the jazz outfit before, and a rough sketch of the honey PJs (outlines and colorless)

  56. Selena on June 29th, 2009 11:45 am

    I think I’ll stick w/ buying rebecca’s stuff……

  57. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:45 am

    I read somewhere that today atleast 50% of African Americans have some caucasian blood. Thomas Jefferson, for example, had black children.

  58. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:45 am

    No, they don’t. Mixed races don’t count. Besides, I know “black” people of mixed race. They have heads shaped like the Addy mold.

  59. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:47 am

    Still, AG could’ve gotten an African American face mold without making Addy look liike a horse. Literally. Give her some ears, tail, and saddle, and presto! I know that seems insensitive, but I really do like Addy.

  60. Selena on June 29th, 2009 11:47 am

    dum de dum de dum… i’m so bored… today’s another swim meet but -hallelujah! – it’s been raining all morning.. t-storm!

  61. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:48 am

    Halle Berry?

  62. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:49 am

    Addy is on my list for next year. I like her Sunday outfit.

  63. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:52 am

    Addy’s not on my list, but 26 (who has the Addy mold) is. I really don’t think she looks like a hosre.

    If anything, Jess, Ivy, and 30 look like chipmunks.

  64. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:52 am

    Heck, I might get her this year along with Rebecca.

  65. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:52 am

    Yeah, they do look like chipmunks! That’s a great comparison!

  66. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:53 am

    No, I don’t think Addy looks like a “hosre” either. ;)

  67. Selena on June 29th, 2009 11:57 am

    I can’t quite picture the chipmunk things. sorta like the chrissa llama thing.. that was pretty funny…

  68. Lily on June 29th, 2009 11:58 am

    Chrissa llama . . . ?

  69. Lena on June 29th, 2009 11:58 am

    You know I meant horse. :roll:

  70. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:00 pm

    Well, I guess Chrissa could be dressed up to look like a llama. Addy would be a good sheep and horse. Jess would be a good chipmunk. I can’t really think of anything for the classic mold at the moment. It’s really basic without many distinguishing features, so maybe that’s why.

  71. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:01 pm

    Ba ba black sheep have you any wool . . .

  72. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:01 pm

    She meant how the mean girls put Chrissa’s head on a llama’s body in the movie (haven’t read the books)

  73. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:03 pm

    Creative. Chrissa’s llama is cute. I think it would display well. I may get her starter collection just so I can get the llama included.

  74. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:04 pm

    Im african-american and I have belizan blood all of my family says that I should get Addy or Kaya Because they look like me lol!

  75. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:04 pm

    I only want the llama. Just because it’s a llama.

  76. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:06 pm

    In the Sims 2 University, the mascot is a llama.

  77. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:07 pm

    Cool sunbeemz. Personally, I’m a Josefina mold, with hair and eyes slightly darker than Rebecca’s.

  78. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:07 pm

    This might be strange but I’m not a huge fan of Rebecca.

  79. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:07 pm

    Llamas are just kind of oddballs, so of course you want a stuffed one! And of course the Sims 2 people made the mascot a llama because what normal school would do that?

  80. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:08 pm

    nice!

  81. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:08 pm

    I know. Llama was always the mascot for Sims (in Sims 1, the baseball outfit said the team was named the Llama.

  82. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:10 pm

    The name “llama” is just kind of funny. In Spanish, if you want to say “My name is…” you say “Me llama…” It’s not pronounced the same. Instead it sounds like “yama”.

  83. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:10 pm

    Meh, I have her, but she’s not Beckie. She’s Helena, a girl who likes learning about her ancestors. (gives me a chance to dress her historically)

  84. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:10 pm

    Everybodys smileys are so cute I wish I knew how to do that

  85. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:10 pm

    I’m aware of how Spanish is pronounced.

  86. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:11 pm

    Scroll over the smiley to find out.

  87. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:11 pm

    Yeah, and there was a full-body llama costume your sims can wear in the Sims 2 University. Not near as cute as the Chrissa llama, though!

  88. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:12 pm

    Hey, not everyone knows how Spanish is pronounced.

  89. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:13 pm

    :)

    :(

  90. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:13 pm

    Those are the only three emoticons I know how to do. How do you do the rolling eyes one?

  91. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:14 pm

    I’m just saying, I live in a heavily Spanish area. I ranted somewhere that Spanish kids get everything translated, and the other nationalities don’t.

  92. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:14 pm

    : roll :

    with out the spaces.

  93. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:17 pm

    I love the new tap outfit on the Ag website.

  94. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:18 pm

    this is so strange every time I send my comment other peoples comments show up.

  95. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:19 pm

    i don’t really see a smiley icon.

  96. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 12:22 pm

    I’ll be back in a few min.

  97. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:22 pm

    I’m meh on it. I liked Marisol’s better… I just wish this one was less pink.

  98. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:27 pm

    :roll:

  99. Lily on June 29th, 2009 12:27 pm

    Cool!

  100. Selena on June 29th, 2009 12:32 pm

    I only have marisol’s preformance outift :( I mean, I love it and all, but I wish I had had the chance to get her stuff.

    I’m going to rename rebecca too. beckie will still be her middle name, but IDK, I feel like making her another name..

    rebecca in doll version or drawing version??
    the doll looks wayyy better in my opinion!

    I think I’m gonna get the softball outfit. *shrug*

    UGGH it stopped raining!

  101. Selena on June 29th, 2009 12:33 pm

    there was something I was going to say…

  102. Lena on June 29th, 2009 12:35 pm

    I’m gonna get all the dance outfits…. then buy some proper jazz shoes.

  103. Taelyn on June 29th, 2009 1:12 pm

    adorable! the sprite is my favorite

  104. Taelyn on June 29th, 2009 1:13 pm

    I actually like the drawing of Rebecca better. The doll is cute too, but I was hoping she would have darker hair

  105. Bookworm on June 29th, 2009 1:16 pm

    Did anyone watch Princess Protection Program? I LOVE demi and selena!

  106. Starr on June 29th, 2009 1:18 pm

    Those lunchboxes are so cute! And for only $1!

  107. Abby on June 29th, 2009 1:28 pm

    Cute! I’ll have to ask my mom if she can take me! :)

  108. Abby on June 29th, 2009 1:34 pm

    My mom just said she’d take me!! but she had no idea they had a dollar isle and stuff because she hasen’t been there in like 12 years! no kidding! we usually shop at meijers thats why.

  109. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 1:34 pm

  113. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 1:36 pm

    the tap dance outfit looks almost exactly like marisol’s one, IMO.

  114. Abby on June 29th, 2009 1:36 pm

    Cool pioneerfan04!

  115. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 1:39 pm

    i wundr wut the nxt historical character will be………………………………………………………………………………. i’m hoping an irish immigrant during war of 1812, or a 1924 one with a stacked bob haircut like the flappers. not kit’s hairstyle, the stacked bob is cuter IMO. my sis has it, but i cant get 1 cuz my hair is REALLY thick and it would look like an afro on me.

  116. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 1:43 pm

    i love tinkerbell.

    i have a t.b.:

    bedspread

  120. Sara on June 29th, 2009 3:03 pm

    I don’t really like her either.

  121. Lena on June 29th, 2009 3:06 pm

    Well, according to rumors, Chloe, the Louisiana Purchase girl is next.

    But those are only rumors.

  122. Lena on June 29th, 2009 3:19 pm

    An Irish immigrant would best be placed in the Lowel Mills durring the 1840’s. But AG already covered that with Nellie.

    I wish they would do a Lowell Mill girl…

  123. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 4:32 pm

    Wow that was way longer than a few minutes but my brother stole the computer!

  124. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 4:37 pm

    Ok I have a really easy joke my friend told me that you all should know if you’ve seen Icarly.Ok so a cowboy rides to town on Friday, and stays for two days and gets back on Friday.How did he do it? I’ll say the answer after somebody gets it right.

  125. Lena on June 29th, 2009 4:39 pm

    Friday’s the name of the horse.

  126. Sara on June 29th, 2009 4:40 pm

    His horse is named Friday!

  127. Sara on June 29th, 2009 4:40 pm

    Aw, darn, Lena beat me! :)

  128. sunbeemz on June 29th, 2009 4:52 pm

    Ding Ding Ding you are correct!

  129. Lily on June 29th, 2009 5:08 pm

    The Lowell mills sound so . . . depressing.

  130. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 5:17 pm

    they are, lily. i learned all about them since i’m irish. lena–it would fit best in the 1840s, since that was when the famine in ireland was, but i would kinda like it during 1814 because since england still ruled ireland (they still did in the 1840s, ended in 1913) she would have trouble siding with america since all her family back in ireland had to side with england.

    i think i like the sound of chloe– when do we usually find out who it will be? next fall or sumtin?

  131. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 5:19 pm

    okay, i kno we dont know for sure if chloe is going to be the nxt doll, but here’s how i picture her:

    blonde hair
    blue eyes
    green meet dress with red flowers
    french

  132. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 5:19 pm

    if they do make chloe i am DEFINITELY getting her.

  133. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:20 pm

    About 6 months before she comes out, which should be 2 years from now.

    They kinda did that with Elizabeth though.

  134. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:21 pm

    26’s skin color and mold, hair like the girl AA Bitty Twinn, baby blue dress.

  135. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:22 pm

    I heard “Chloe” was going to be Creole.

  136. pioneerfan04 on June 29th, 2009 5:38 pm

    so, in around 2010-2011, lena? i cant wait, the time will probly go flying by hopefully!

  137. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:45 pm

    Late 2010 to mid 2011 we *should* learn about her.

  138. Lily on June 29th, 2009 5:49 pm

    Ugh . . . I might be out of high school before she’s released. What is AG going to release next year, then?

  139. Lily on June 29th, 2009 5:56 pm

    I don’t think I’m going to buy any JLY stuff this year. Some of the stuff is cute, but I’d rather buy an extra doll.

  140. Lena on June 29th, 2009 5:57 pm

    The next GOTY? That’s gonna be realesed.

    I only want the dance clothes. Nothing else.

  141. Abby on June 29th, 2009 6:05 pm

    I just got back from Target! Char, I got the lunch boxes! there were no other colors or kinds. also I hear about a “Chloe”? I bet I’ll still like AGD in a couple years.

  142. Lena on June 29th, 2009 6:09 pm

    Chloe was a proposed historical I heard about in the 90’s (also when I heard about a Native American doll and “Rebehka”)

  143. Lena on June 29th, 2009 6:23 pm

    BTW, I heard this from a friend.

  144. Abby on June 29th, 2009 6:37 pm

    lemme guess… your cousin?

  145. Lena on June 29th, 2009 6:45 pm

    Nope. My cousin was still in high school in the 90’s. It was my neighbor.

  146. Lily on June 29th, 2009 7:02 pm

    I’m glad AG went with the more common spelling of Rebecca. “Rebehka” looks odd.

  147. Lily on June 29th, 2009 7:03 pm

    No, I mean is AG going to release a new historical of some sort next year? They’ve been doing it since 2004.

    2004 – Nellie
    2005 – Elizabeth
    2006 – Emily
    2007 – Julie & Ivy
    2008 – Ruthie
    2009 – Rebecca

  148. Lena on June 29th, 2009 7:39 pm

    Meh, I’d have preffered her name be Russian, but I changed her name anyway, so it hardly matters.

    I really don’t know.

  149. Lily on June 29th, 2009 7:45 pm

    2010 – :roll:

  150. sarah on June 29th, 2009 7:54 pm

    wow, i REALLY dont like the new doll things. im sorry, they’re just not my taste. They need to make things more in style like stuff regular kids/teens like us would wear. I would not be caught dead in that jazz outfit or those pajamas. Something cute like jeans with a loose belt, or even skinny jeans for that matter! And some cute tie-front cardigans, jean skirts, loose lounge pants, catch my drift? what do u guys think? lol, i didn’t look at that many posts far up so thats why im not sure what u guys think

  151. sarah on June 29th, 2009 7:56 pm

    oh, btw, I also dont like them because they are WAYYYYY too plain!

  152. Selena on June 29th, 2009 8:01 pm

    swim team amazingly went very well. I came in 2nd for back, and the 1st was a 13 yr old, who’s been doing it since she was 4!!!! I didn’t do free, but did a relay. Everyone on my team was sooooo slow we lost like 5 teams, I covered 3 and almost caught up w/ the 4th (not tryin’ to brag!) .

    ooohhhh i’m getting chloe! If they make her…
    all my historical doll wishes are coming true!! LOL :roll:

  153. Lena on June 29th, 2009 8:11 pm

    Sarah, I too am under whelemed, but the jazz outfit IS what real jazz dancers tend to wear.

    Except the shoes. Those are always black, not that purple color.

  154. Lena on June 29th, 2009 8:13 pm

    Char, is there a filter on the word “purple” or something? every comment I make with it goes into moderation. *sigh*. I know you explained it, I just needed a rant.

  155. Lily on June 29th, 2009 8:25 pm

    Purple

  156. Lily on June 29th, 2009 8:33 pm

    Good job Selena!

  157. Lily on June 29th, 2009 9:04 pm

    Pick 2:
    Julie
    Emily
    Chrissa

    Help!

  158. alubadubdub on June 29th, 2009 9:07 pm

    I WANT ONE SOOOOOOOOOO BAD!! where do you get them???

  159. alubadubdub on June 29th, 2009 9:08 pm

    NEVER MIND ABOUT MY OTHER COMMENT!!!! U got them @ Target

  160. Anne on June 29th, 2009 9:12 pm

    The new clothes are cool, but not exactly what girls of today actually wear. At least they are a little bit casual.

  161. Anne on June 29th, 2009 9:13 pm

    Emily and Julie, but only because I don’t really care for the GOTY’s. I only like the historicals. But go with the dolls you choose, not the dolls we choose.

  162. Lily on June 29th, 2009 9:17 pm

    Emily and Julie were my original choices, but I’m tempted to get Chrissa and her swim team outfit now (since it’s summer) and not at Christmas. I think I’ll stick with the historicals for now.

  163. Lily on June 29th, 2009 9:18 pm

    I don’t particularly like the new outfits. That’s sad, because there’s ten of them. They were just too plain.

  164. Selena on June 29th, 2009 9:20 pm

    thanks lily!! :D
    Well, I’d have to say Chrissa, even though she’s as plain as the “beautiful swan” . Just b/c she isss a “collectible” doll, and if you do decide to sell, her, you can get enough money to buy 2 dolls.
    emily’s hair is beautiful, as is jules’. Though I have to admit julie’s story waaas better. emily’s story wasn’t that interesting. And julie’s was… better.

  165. Selena on June 29th, 2009 9:22 pm

    That one outfit w/ the long shirt and skirt, was sssaaaaaaadddddd.

    I’m getting the swim team outfit. Even though mine is red and looks nothing alike… oh well, a swimsuit is a swimsuit!

  166. Lily on June 29th, 2009 9:26 pm

    Selena, what is Emily’s story about?

  167. Lily on June 29th, 2009 9:28 pm

    If I don’t get Chrissa now, I still will for Christmas. Even though she’s not as fascinating as Mia, she has an appeal.

  168. priscilla on June 29th, 2009 9:48 pm

    lily,i’m not selena,but emily’s story is about her being brave for england and playing her recorder and stuff like that…

  169. Selena on June 29th, 2009 10:12 pm

    ya, she happens to know the tune “hot crossed buns” and plays it well on the recorder, everyone thinks she’s really good, but the next is an american song she doesn’t know. She well.. stinks at it, but her class thinks she’s spending all this time practicing the song. then her class wants her to play the recorder thingy in a school production. So she has to work hard and learn the song, etc;etc; she wants to be brave for England as priscilla said ( :) )

    bouna notte!!

    Hey also, priscilla, i think it was you but my buildabearvile account is : Clairedecember25 so ya, If u see me, add me!

  170. Lily on June 29th, 2009 10:19 pm

    Couldn’t AG have been a little more creative? I hate recorders. We were forced to play them in elementary school and I only got to hot crossed buns. Whenever we did more complicated songs, I just fingered the recorder and didn’t actually make sound. I’m musically challenged, but there’s better things to be good at.

  171. Lily on June 29th, 2009 10:19 pm

    . . . But I love Molly and her stories, so Emily is at the top of my priority list.

  172. Anne on June 29th, 2009 10:41 pm

    I’m mathematically challenged…

  173. Lily on June 29th, 2009 10:43 pm

    I guess you’ll be taking Geometry this coming year?

  174. Anne on June 29th, 2009 10:43 pm

    I was forced to play the recorder in third grade. The “music teacher” was nice but a terriable teacher. Waste of time. Oh well

    :roll: (my attempted first smiley – I hope it turns out right!).

  175. Anne on June 29th, 2009 10:44 pm

    Yay! It did!
    How do you do other ones?

  176. Anne on June 29th, 2009 10:46 pm

    What is your favorite (or top favorites) historical outfit(s) ever released?
    Who is your favorite GOTY? I like the one with curly honey-blond hair best. I also like the one that looks like Sam (brown hair and eyes) and the other dark-haired ones. I’m not crazy for the platinum blond ones, but they are ok.

  177. Sara on June 29th, 2009 10:47 pm

    What JLY dolls does everyone have? I have #16, and #31. They are best friends. I named #16 Sarah (after me of course!) and #31 I named K’Shawna (after my best friend who moved away almost a year ago. :( )

  178. Sara on June 29th, 2009 10:48 pm

    Um, Anne, I think u r talking about JLY dolls. And I just asked that! :)

  179. Lily on June 29th, 2009 10:50 pm

    Do them without spaces.

    : )
    ; )
    : (

  180. Anne on June 29th, 2009 11:25 pm

    Yeah, I was talking about the JLY dolls. Oops.
    :)
    ;)
    :(

  181. Anne on June 29th, 2009 11:25 pm

    Yay! :)

  182. Georgia on June 30th, 2009 2:34 am

    I quite like the one with blue eyes and dark brown hair.

  183. Lena on June 30th, 2009 6:51 am

    Fave JLY: 21, 25, 26.
    Fave Historcal based on looks: Rebecca, Kaya, Kit.
    Fave Historcal based on books: Kaya, Felicity, Josefina, Kitsten, Addy, Kit, Rebecca. Hard to choose.
    Fave GOTY (I don’t read the books): Lindsey, Jess
    Fave BFF doll: Ruthie, Sonali, Ivy

    Emily played something called a “fluteophone”. Bleh, I hated recorders. Give me a violin and I’ll play you a sweet melody, give me one if those things, the same melody will sound forced. That, and recorders are REALLY beadly off key…

  184. Natalie on June 30th, 2009 6:54 am

    These are the American Girl Dolls I have:

    The JLY with light skin, black/brown hair, brown eyes
    Jess
    Nicki
    Felicity
    Elizabeth
    Julie
    And I’m getting Rebecca for my birthday

  185. Natalie on June 30th, 2009 6:57 am

    Hey Lena!

  186. Lena on June 30th, 2009 7:00 am

    Hi Natalie.

    I have
    Kit
    Samantha
    Kirsten
    Sonali
    Rebecca

    Those are just the AGs.

  187. Natalie on June 30th, 2009 7:11 am

    I don’t really like the new stuff from AG.

  188. priscilla on June 30th, 2009 8:28 am

    selena,i did’nt ask that,i don’t have a buildabearville account,i asked you what your stardoll account is. my stardoll’s name is prit.

  189. Abby on June 30th, 2009 9:47 am

    I kinda like the new outfits I don’t liknd the the tap dancing one because of the bow. I kinda like the wilderness explorer outfit… I want it but its too… 80’s and to fallish! but the other stuff is ok I like the honey puppy PJ’s and flutter flower and photographer outfits.

  190. Sara on June 30th, 2009 9:48 am

    Does anyone have Sonali? Is her body really orange as people say it is? I’m getting her soon (after I buy my guitar 4 school)

  191. Abby on June 30th, 2009 9:54 am

    ;) first time I tried that! oh BTW, I might be going to Atlanta soon and if I go ill get Sonali because when the girls came out in January, I knew I would choose one of them. and so I like Sonali because:

    1 She is beautiful
    2 I like her style, being Chrissa and Gwens friend
    3 Her outfit is outta this world!

  192. Abby on June 30th, 2009 9:56 am

    Hmm… I’m not sure Sara. I’m sure its mostly just a chocolate brown like her face and what not. I’m sure when I get her I won’t really care that much.

  193. Abby on June 30th, 2009 9:58 am

    how do yoou do the rolling eyes smiley?

  194. Abby on June 30th, 2009 10:00 am

    :) :( :D ;0 is all I know.

  195. Abby on June 30th, 2009 10:01 am

    I meant ;)

  196. Abby on June 30th, 2009 10:02 am

    and green face and red face?

  197. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 10:11 am

    i like all the new jly outfits. they are classy and cute. i cant wait 2 get the petal hoodie and sparkly angel outfits nxt month. i kinda like how they remade sum of marisols outfits, cuz 4 those of u who hav marisol but none of her outfits you can now get them!

  198. Lena on June 30th, 2009 10:12 am

    Sara, I have Nali. Her body is slightly lighter than her skin, but not by much. It is definatly NOT orange.

  199. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 10:17 am

    this is random, but i have sumtin really cool to tell y’all:

    ok, so my mommy has this friend whose father was a little jewish boy during the holocaust. he was put on a train to the concentration camps, and survived! the americans and all the other good people rescued him from the camps just in time!

    i just thot that was really cool. :)

  200. Abby on June 30th, 2009 10:19 am

    Cool, Pioneerfan04! and you reminded me, I LOVE THE ANGEL OUTFIT AND I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  201. Abby on June 30th, 2009 10:19 am

  202. Abby on June 30th, 2009 10:20 am

  204. Selena on June 30th, 2009 10:23 am

    ooopppss sorry priscilla!! my sd user is beachgirl96 :)

  205. Lena on June 30th, 2009 10:37 am

    You guys like the angel outfit? You do know the wigs are PERMANETLY attatched? I’d prefer if the wings came off, but that may be me.

  206. Anne on June 30th, 2009 10:55 am

    I don’t like the angel outfit at all.

  207. Lena on June 30th, 2009 10:56 am

    I don’t like it much, but the wings not comming off was the icing on the cake for me. And I don’t like cake.

  208. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:00 am

    I haven’t mentioned that I opened my AG gifts (and the ones I bought with my own money – and there were a lot of those) on the 25th (my birthday). Lissie is so beautiful – my favorite outfits on her are the work gown, the rose garden gown, the town fair gown, and the laced jacket and skirt. I like most of the outfits but not some of the currently non-retired ones – they make her look too wealthy and are totally unrealistic in that regard. Lissie is middle-class, right? So why did AG retire all of her plain, everyday clothes and come out with these frilly dresses she never would have owned?

  209. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:04 am

    Because they wanted her to look like a princess?

    She is middle class, and that girl (being who she was) wouldn’t enjoy dressing up. She’d rather steal Ben’s breeches and ride Penny (she had this outfit. They retired it)

  210. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:04 am

    I don’t really see the need for an angel outfit – but that might just be me.

    Also, I hate Lissie’s new meet gown – it is too fancy for daily use and the fabric does not feel authentic to the time period. Purple, or that shade of lavender, does nothing to highlight her beauty. I will always thing of the rose garden as her meet dress and the new one as the traveling gown. I wish it was still that way, but like I said, Mattel seems to like to retire all of the simpler dresses and exchange them for fancier (often tacky) ones.

    Was the fabric of that horrible dress the same when it was the traveling gown? I don’t think I would mind the dress so much if the material was like her work gown (Lissie is in my arms in her work gown at this very moment).

  211. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:06 am

    I know – I have the breeches and I like them. I will never dress Lissie in those princess-like dresses. I only have them because I collect every outfit (not including jackets/coats and nightgowns) of the dolls I have.

  212. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:06 am

    BTW, I totally agree with you. There was a certain charm in her simple dresses that these new ones don’t have. I like simplicity, so did Lissie.

  213. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:08 am

    I don’t give a rat’s rear about how “realistic” the dolls’ outfits are for their socioeconomic class. If it’s pretty, I’ll get it; if it’s ugly, I won’t.

  214. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:08 am

    I don’t know about material, but I too refuse to accept this as her meet gown. It’s just too tacky and not everyday like her rose garden dress was.

    Really? I get the main outfits (from the old covers) and PJs. Thats enough for me.

  215. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:10 am

    Yeah, the meet gowns of Felicity and Elizabeth are some synethic, polyester feeling material. I would’ve preferred cotton, but it’s pretty and looks great next to Elizabeth.

  216. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:11 am

    Elizabeth’s meet dress is my least favorite of all the girls.

  217. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:11 am

    I miss Felicity’s rose garden dress too, but I would’ve liked it better in a different color. Green, maybe?

  218. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:12 am

    Oh, that’s just because it’s “too pink” and isn’t in the realistic three pieces. Right?

  219. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:13 am

    Green looks lovely on Lissie, but I think the dress went well with her. I just now noticed… Lissie only has her riding habit be green…

  220. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:13 am

    No, because it’s tacky and not something she’d wear everyday. It’s a formal dress.

  221. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:15 am

    I like more complicated, fancy dresses. They display better. And Elizabeth’s meet gown isn’t meant to be an everyday dress; she wears it to a party.

  222. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:16 am

    I think Felicity needs another dress in the same style as her meet gown. That was very popular during her time period and none of her outfits are even mildly similar.

  223. Sara on June 30th, 2009 11:18 am

    Thnx Lena!!!! I asked cause people say that her body is orange.

  224. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:19 am

    She does need an everyday dress. Badly.

    That’s my point. Elizabeth is the only one who’s meet dress is not everyday wear. I’d rather she get that power blue dress she wears in her picture (the painting in Lissie’s family & friends).

  225. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:19 am

    Sara, it’s not.

  226. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:26 am

    I would like it if Lissie’s meet was still the original one and Elizabeth’s was the blue one Lena mentioned. And I wish Lizzie was a brunette, but don’t get me started on that one.

  227. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:27 am

    I agree, Lily. I love that style very much. Another reason why I just love the work gown – it is very similar to the original meet.

  228. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:30 am

    I can’t believe AG gave Felicity another formal holiday gown last year when she already has her blue Christmas dress (one of my favorites).

  229. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:30 am

    I just wish her work gown and town fair outfits were more affordable. I’d buy them in a heartbeat.

  230. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:37 am

    Me too. If I find them for a reasonable price (or if AG makes the *hint hint AG, make Lissie a work gown*), I’ll buy them.

    Anne, the brunette thing…. still mad at them for that.

  231. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:40 am

    I also can’t believe that they retired her school, birthday, and Christmas outfits. She has virtually nothing left now.

  232. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:40 am

    Scratch that. I meant to say school, birthday, and summer outfits (not Christmas).

  233. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:42 am

    I’m very mad at them for that. I’m even more mad about their selfless photoshopping (check out the cover of Lissie Saves the Day)

  234. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:42 am

    Yeah, didn’t they change it to her purple meet dress?

  235. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:44 am

    Yeah, they did. Not sure why. I have the book with the original cover art in which she’s wearing her white gown (which I love).

  236. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:44 am

    Yes. They just photoshopped right over the white one.

    This is why my cousin is happy she works in JLY. If she worked in Historicals… I’d yell.

  237. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:45 am

    Felicity’s collection needs an overhaul. They need to give both dolls everyday outfits, bring back the classics that they retired, and get rid of the fancy extras.

  238. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:46 am

    I would say that they need to make Elizabeth’s hair brown again, but since I have the blond version . . .

  239. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:49 am

    The blonde girl is very pretty, but not the Elizabeth I met in Felicity’s original books.

  240. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:50 am

    That Lily. They NEED to do that. I don’t want a princess, I want my middle class colonist girl.

  241. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:50 am

    Does the lavender jazz outfit remind anyone of Jasmine from Aladdin?

  242. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:51 am

    I would get the dance outfits when I go to AG Place next week, but I have to think about Emily, Julie, and Chrissa. If I get any extras, I won’t be able to get Chrissa.

  243. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:53 am

    I need to get Chrissa now, so I have a chance at getting Addy and Rebecca for Christmas.

  244. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:54 am

    I love Addy. She has some good outfits. I want a black doll.

  245. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:55 am

    I love Addy! It’s early in the game, but I’m planning on getting her for my birthday next year.

  246. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:56 am

    No, it doen’t remind me of Jasmine. I see the costume many times a week, and it looks nothing like it.

    Still disliking those shoes.

  247. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:56 am

    No, it doen’t remind me of Jasmine. I see the costume many times a week, and it looks nothing like it.

  248. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:56 am

    And her books are, in my opinion, one of the best AG has produced. They are so lovely and sweet.

  249. Sara on June 30th, 2009 11:57 am

    Does Lissie’s Gala Gown (the newest one) have anything to do with her stories? I love it, I’m just curious. And, even though Elizabeth is supposed to be brunette, I still love her as a blonde (that’s just me!)

  250. Anne on June 30th, 2009 11:59 am

    I want a black doll, too, and I particularly love Addy. So far i have 4 white girls – a blond, a brunette, a strawberry-blond, and a red-head(auburn-head (Kirsten, Samantha, Nellie, Felicity). Unbalanced, I know…

  251. Lily on June 30th, 2009 11:59 am

    It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Aladdin. Her real outfit is turquoise, not lavender. Maybe I’m thinking of some weird Barbie version . . .

  252. Lena on June 30th, 2009 11:59 am

    Gala gown has nothing to do with the books.

    I loved Addy’s books. I have them all, they are so very sweet.

  253. Anne on June 30th, 2009 12:00 pm

    No, the outfit has nothing at all to do with the stories. I personally don’t like it, but that’s just me. The colors of it are pretty nice, though…

  254. Lily on June 30th, 2009 12:00 pm

    Felicity
    Elizabeth
    Kirsten
    Samantha
    Nellie
    Kit
    Molly
    Jess
    Nicki
    Mia
    JLY – blond, blue eyes
    JLY – brown, brown eyes

  255. Anne on June 30th, 2009 12:01 pm

    OK, I’m going to walk dogs now. Bye!

  256. Lily on June 30th, 2009 12:01 pm

    Molly’s books are my favorites. That’s one of the reasons why I’m getting Emily.

  257. Lena on June 30th, 2009 12:01 pm

    Jasmine’s wedding dress is lavender, although it looks nothing like the jazz outfit.

  258. Lily on June 30th, 2009 12:02 pm

    I need to get dressed for the day and start doing something productive. Bye!

  259. Selena on June 30th, 2009 12:04 pm

    I reaalllyyyy wish they would make lizzie’s blue gown!!!! I put her in lissie’s rose garden dress alot, though it isn’t hers. And for pjs I put them in their shifts (??) they came in. cause’ their night gowns just have extra ribbon. What’s the point in paying $24 for that??!!!

    so ya, I don’t like lissie’s lavender traveling gown as her meet outfit. the garden outfit was (to me atleast) MUCH more realistic!! And it’s so pretty. And lizzie should come in the blue gown, and have the pink one her party dress, like how emily has her just.. dress, and has the recorder (thingy) dress as her books “main event” dress.

  260. Selena on June 30th, 2009 12:07 pm

    lissie’s gala gown has NOTHING to do w/ her story. I bought it in NYC (not trying to brag) last Thanksgiving, and have never even put it on lissie. *grins sheepishly* only on sam.

  261. Lena on June 30th, 2009 12:07 pm

    Flutophone. Emily plays a flutophone.

  262. Lily on June 30th, 2009 12:16 pm

    Nerdy.

  263. Lena on June 30th, 2009 12:22 pm

    Yes, I am. So what?

  264. Abby on June 30th, 2009 12:22 pm

    I just sent an email to Char with a summer photoshoot! I hope she posts it!

  265. Abby on June 30th, 2009 12:23 pm

    hehe lol. TTYL!

  266. Lily on June 30th, 2009 12:38 pm

    No, I wasn’t talking about you, Lena. I was talking about Emily playing the flutophone.

  267. Lena on June 30th, 2009 12:41 pm

    Oh… yeah…. kinda nerdy. They make horrible noises.

  268. Lily on June 30th, 2009 12:45 pm

    Shopping at AG can be kind of stressful. You have your family breathing down your neck and you’re trying to decide what you’re going to get without breaking the bank. Sometimes in person stuff is uglier (or prettier) than in photos.

    Updated List:
    Julie & accessories
    Emily & accessories
    Chrissa (maybe parents will buy her?)
    Chrissa’s swimsuit
    Emily’s swimsuit
    Molly’s swimsuit

  269. Selena on June 30th, 2009 12:52 pm

    sorry I forgot what the FLUTOPHONE was called. oops! It was kinda nerdy. I HATE anything that’s like recorders, especially when you sitting in class full of dum kids laughing and making horrible noises on that.. “instrument” .

  270. Lena on June 30th, 2009 12:56 pm

    My mom enjoys my collecting hobby, so much that she offered to buy me Ivy for my birthday. We saw Ivy in person in NY last year, and my mom fell in love with her.

  271. Anne on June 30th, 2009 1:01 pm

    The real wooden recorder is beautiful. The ones you get in elementary school – now that’s a different story.

    Lucky you, Lena. My parents are not big collectors in general, unlike my brother and I. Everything we own, for the most part, is part of a collection. My parents don’t mind the AG dolls, but they will only get them for me for my birthday. I have tried explaining the whole thing to them, but they aren’t really into that sort of thing. My mom and dad didn’t collect much of anything as kids. These days, my dad has well over 2,000 cd’s (a lot, I know) and my mom likes different fabrics and little decorative things she puts around the house. That’s it.

  272. Anne on June 30th, 2009 1:10 pm

    I can’t imagine not collecting all of the things I do.

    OK, a totally random question: who likes old houses? I absolutely love them! I live in a very historical town. Most of the houses were built in the 1920’s, but we have so many 1800’s houses, 1700’s houses, and at least one 1600’s house as well. My house was built in 1887 and it is the oldest on the block by one year only (there is an 1888 house right across the street). It is a very simple shingle-style home. Most shingles homes were built between 1880 and 1900 and they were an alternative to the fancy Queen Anne houses being built at the time. Except in parts of New England (, shingles houses are relatively uncommon and it is a very eclectic style. Some are fancy-ish, but most are relatively simple. Additionally, the houses were intended to blend in with the scenery around the structure, as opposed to the eye-popping Queen Anne style. The siding on these homes was usually stained or painted a simple earth-tone. Ours is a brick red.

  273. Anne on June 30th, 2009 1:11 pm

    I think it is New England, anyway.

    Do you guys know when your house was built? Just curious.

  274. Lena on June 30th, 2009 1:13 pm

    My parents grew up in communist Poland, so they really couln’t collect anything. My dad doesn’t really care, but my mom has a collection of Ikea furniture in our house, fabric she sews with, cookbooks (hardly used, she cooks from memory) and she supports my dolls collecting (although she does think I’m too old).

  275. Lena on June 30th, 2009 1:16 pm

    2004’s when mine was built…. I hate my house.

    I love the old homes, even from WWII. My hometown in Poland is very old (home to one of the oldest wooden churches in Europe) and has such beautiful homes and buildings. My grandma’s home was a rich doctor’s house, and you can still tell by the placement and size of rooms. Of course, now it’s appartments, because of communism, but it still has a very old doctors office feeling. It was built in 1860’s,

  276. Lily on June 30th, 2009 1:39 pm

    My house is from 2002. I live in a suburban area where everything is really new, so we don’t have old houses.

    My parents (and siblings) ask me when I’m going to stop buying dolls. They like to tell me I have too many. It gets annoying.

    I’m hoping I can get my parents to buy Julie and her accessories for me since they grew up in the 70’s also. If they don’t buy one the dolls, I can’t get three. Wish me luck!

  277. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 2:01 pm

    omg i just remembered lissie’s outfit used to be tan with that rose pattern or something, right? not purple! omg!

  278. Lily on June 30th, 2009 2:04 pm

    Time to count money to see how much I can spend at the AG place!

  279. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 2:05 pm

    i have $234.

  280. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 2:07 pm

    ahh, yes, lena, i LOVE old houses! i used 2 live in 1 in new york built by an irish immigrant in 1830! it was beautiful!

  281. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 2:08 pm

    my mom loves me collecting dolls.

  282. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 2:17 pm

  285. sunbeenz on June 30th, 2009 3:12 pm

    Hi anybody on?

  286. sunbeenz on June 30th, 2009 3:17 pm

    I have read every single one of addy’s books! Have any of you read the clique books with the three girls on the front cover i wanna read Breakfast at Tiffany’s

  287. Selena on June 30th, 2009 3:18 pm

    LOL you guys are funny :mrgreen:

    uhhhhh IDK if y parents collect anything!!! The closest thing I can think of is my dad’s air force stuff. He used to be a grim reaper (LOL) and fly F-15 s so he has a bunch (OK, a few) of model airplanes. And his flag.. and his helmet!!! I collect dolls and stuffed animals. oh, and most importantly, post cards, even though I haven’t even been to most of the places!! Plus quarters from dif. states.

    our Celabration house was built in either 1999 or 2000 ,… I think I was like 4 so IDK. Our house here was finished right when we moved .. so 2006.. I think!!! Some of our air force homes where old, i think.

  288. Selena on June 30th, 2009 3:20 pm

    This is random, and I don’t want to sound spoiled, but I would really like to redec. my room. Right now it’s bubble gum pink, w my art work in my hall.. and a mint green bathr. day bed, lava lamp, etc; etc; I want to redec. black and white, with a sorta winter theme ( quite a few of my paintings are wolf themed, or flowers. or NYC.. or london! )

  289. pioneerfan04 on June 30th, 2009 3:25 pm

    ya, lily, it hurts soo bad! i am not kidding! aaarrgh! and its hanging on by only 3 strings! so close but yet so far!

  290. Lena on June 30th, 2009 3:31 pm

    Pioneer, take a deep breath – and pull. One moment of pain will spare you several if you let it fall out naturally. This is what i did.

  291. sarah on June 30th, 2009 3:48 pm

    Luckily I lost my baby teeth years ago. I’d say just wait and eat a whole lotta food. Almost all my teeth I lost while i was chewing.
    Selena, I just decorated my room and it looks great! And it was CHEAP! The theme is pink + polka dots. Ikea has great ideas! My DREAM theme would actually be brown and pink because those colors look amazing together, but I went for the colors I could find easily. It was really fun, whenever everyone comes in my room, they think its the most cheeriest room in the house because of the light walls. I’d totally want a roxy theme but that would be wayyyyy expensive!

  292. Selena on June 30th, 2009 4:26 pm

    ya WAAAAAAAYYYYYY too expensive!! LOL but that’s pretty cool!!! I only designed my closet hehe!! I have 5 ags in there, a moon chair, vines hanging from the ceiling, my “library” and my movie “collection”,, and cds!!!

  293. Selena on June 30th, 2009 4:26 pm

    about to go to swim practice ttyl!

  294. Anne on June 30th, 2009 4:53 pm

    I lost my baby teeth late. My last one, a canine, came out about a week before my 14th birthday. It is still growing in – I had a gap for the longest time, but I really didn’t mind. I knew a girl who lost all of her baby teeth, molars included, by the time she was in second grade. I remember when I was in second grade and had only lost a few teeth how weird the idea of losing molars seemed! I think lost two teeth in first grade, two in second, and then I didn’t loose any until late fifth grade, which explains why I was pretty late in losing my last one.

    Lena, my mom also collects cookbooks, though she rarely uses them for anything other then general inspiration. She makes up Italian-style meals (her grandmother was Italian and, from what I understand, she was an excellent cook) and we eat that almost every night. We are eating at the Moosewood Restaurant in August when we will be in the area. My mom is so excited because she owns several Moosewood cookbooks and has always wanted to eat at their restaurant. I am excited because I love food!

  295. Anne on June 30th, 2009 5:12 pm

    My room is the smallest bedroom in my house (and they had really small bedrooms back then) with the biggest closet (because there was no “master suite” then, either). I love my room. It is directly over 1/2 of the living room and it is the only room with bay windows. The room is a hexagon and the three windows are on three of the walls. The room is very light pink with slightly darker pink trim and the ceiling is white. There are thin lace curtains over the windows with seperate blue gingham curtains over it (on the sides) and separate, smaller different lace curtains draped over the top. My room gets loads of light but the afternoon sun is the best. The room gets a glow when the afternoon sun comes in. I have billy cabinets form IKEA on two walls, but I got them when I was younger and the store doesn’t carry the ones I have anymore. On display on my dresser, desk, bookshelf (top part), and cabinets are my collections; AG dolls, old dolls, rubber ducks, carousel music boxes, TY beanie babies, Russ stuffed animals, awards, bird figurines, animal parts I found in the woods (an antler and a small jawbone being my prized items in that category – and yes, I found them myself in the reservation not far from my house), and my “one thing from every place I have ever been” collection. There are also numerous little items scattered around the room, and antiques can be found everywhere. Everything is very neat. It all makes for a very pretty picture – I wish I could post pictures and show you guys! Oh yeah, there is also a crab apple tree right outside my bay windows and when they bloom in the springtime, the flowers are really close to my room! My room looks sort-of Victorian, or at least old-fashioned, when you look at the whole picture.

  296. Anne on June 30th, 2009 5:15 pm

    My parents don’t think I’m too old for dolls – they say that people of all ages collect all different things. They don’t understand the whole AG thing, but that’s OK. They don’t tell me I have too many, though.

    I wish you luck, Lily. My dad was born 1954 and my mom 1960, so they are both older then Julie and Ivy.

  297. Anne on June 30th, 2009 5:18 pm

    I never really re-did my whole room; rather, I changed aspects of it as I got older and my tastes matured (everything in my room was once pink). Originally, I wanted my room to be hot-pink (I was 3 1/2 at the time) but my parents insisted on going with the shades they chose. Then, when I was 10 or so, I went through a huge tomboy stage. I wore boys clothes and didn’t want anything to do with anything that might be considered remotely “girly.” I wanted to paint my room blue, but now I am glad I didn’t. Although I am neutral on the color, it looks fab in my room and I wouldn’t change it.

  298. Lily on June 30th, 2009 6:07 pm

    My house has a white carpet and white walls rule. My room is dark red, cream, and black.

  299. priscilla on June 30th, 2009 7:47 pm

    yay! i got the two lunchboxes today from target! they’re so cute! yay! my youtube video’s gonna be up tomorrow hopefully! i’m recording it tonight or tomorrow morning.i’m gonna sing fly to your heart. how long do vides take to upoad?

  300. priscilla on June 30th, 2009 7:48 pm

    selena, i’m gonna add you on stardoll right now.

  301. Taelyn on June 30th, 2009 8:46 pm

    my comments arent showing up? whats up with that?
    pricilla, videos take around 3 minutes but sometimes longer, depending

  302. sunbeemz on June 30th, 2009 8:54 pm

    So have any of you read the clique books

  303. sunbeemz on June 30th, 2009 8:59 pm

    This is so strange I only see peoples comments after I submit MINE.

  304. Lily on June 30th, 2009 8:59 pm

    Yes, I have. They’re good. Too bad there’s only 2 a year so you forget about what’s happening.

  305. Lily on June 30th, 2009 9:00 pm

    That’s because this page doesn’t refresh itself. You refresh it by clicking the refresh button or sending in a comment. Nothing magical or mysterious.

  306. sunbeemz on June 30th, 2009 9:14 pm

    Ok thanks Lily!

  307. Selena on June 30th, 2009 9:14 pm

    I haven’t read them, but every time i’m with friends they’re like “Ca-laire!” and they get all excited cause I’m from FL, and apparently like the girl from the book. But IDK

  308. Anne on June 30th, 2009 10:09 pm

    I haven’t read the books, either.

  309. Anne on June 30th, 2009 10:10 pm

    But my friend has, and she says that they are stupid yet addicting at the same time. I hate books like that.

  310. Lena on June 30th, 2009 10:16 pm

    I heard that about them too, Anne. Books like that tend to have flat characters and no plot at all.

  311. Selena on June 30th, 2009 10:16 pm

    LOL yes, stupid yet addicting!!!!!!! That sounded funny!!

    bouna notte!!

  312. Selena on June 30th, 2009 10:17 pm

    Has anyone ever met a girl named massie?? I haven’t..
    ok, now going 2 read!

  313. Lily on June 30th, 2009 10:28 pm

    Gossip Girl is the same way (except it’s waaaaay dirtier). You want to read more and more, but looking back, you think “What a sleazy book!”

  314. sarah on June 30th, 2009 11:20 pm

    yeah, I love the Clique books! I’m reading Dial L for Loser right now, but then Twilight got in the way of my interest, hopefully I get to read the rest soon. No Ive never met a girl name massie! But I know a masy (like macy). Actually, they do have pretty good plots that actually deals with things teens/ pre-teens go through with cliques, although they are extremely S.N.E.R.T characters at times :roll:

  315. Lena on July 1st, 2009 5:34 am

    I was saying Twilight had no real plot. Or it had one… that lasted five minutes.

  316. Lily on July 1st, 2009 9:58 am

    I started reading the Twilight “saga” in 2005 before it became a cult following. Now that everyone is obsessed with it, I don’t like it anymore. The books are too long and they make you impatient.

  317. Anne on July 1st, 2009 10:13 am

    I haven’t read the Twilight books – they just don’t appeal to me.

  318. Lena on July 1st, 2009 10:25 am

    I only read Twilight, and the first chapter of New Moon. I found New Moon boring, so I stopped. Besides, with all the flaws I found in them (see LJ), I just can’t enjoy it.

    Saga: a long series of storiey that flow into one another.

    Harry Potter? Saga
    Star Wars? Saga
    Twilight? Series.

  319. Anne on July 1st, 2009 10:43 am

    I read the first chapter of Twilight and was bored out of my mind. I know you really shouldn’t stop a book so early, but it seemed so stupid and like it wasn’t going to shape up – ever. Besides, I’ve heard that Bella is weak and clingy, and I prefer to read stories about strong female characters.

  320. Lena on July 1st, 2009 10:50 am

    She is.

    The real plot doesn’t come in until about 350 pages in. The first 350 pages are of Bella saying how gorgeous Edward is. (I prefer my vampires brunette and non sparkly)

  321. Taelyn on July 1st, 2009 11:54 am

    im not much of a reader but when im at my dads he makes me read 30 min a day so i chose to read the clique series. i just stared alicia today. i read these because they are so up to date with modern things like brand names and cell phones and celebrities and stuff

  322. Zoe on July 1st, 2009 11:55 am

    lol my sister is addicted to twilight. she thinks edward is hot and whenever she says it her bf gets annoyed!

  323. Zoe on July 1st, 2009 11:56 am

    *not jessica* not really MY sister, its complicated lol

  324. sarah on July 1st, 2009 12:59 pm

    I started reading the Twilight series cause my teacher let me borrow the book while I was bored out of my mind in class, and I was surprised how much I like it! Its really cool actually, bella’s sometimes pretty funny. i am so sick of people saying “oh, but vampires dont sparkle!” or “well at least jacob doesnt sparkle!” puuuuh-lease, vampires aren’t real, they can be whatever the storyteller wants them to be. erg, so annoying. ive been having lots of dreams about vamps lately and I think its because of Twilight, lol. so not what I expected! I’d recommend it ‘cept my friends say theres a few parts that aren’t too appropriate, but i’ll just skip those parts. Oh, and im NOT a twilight freak ;) !

  325. Lena on July 1st, 2009 1:02 pm

    Centuries of vampire myths contradict what you said.

    I called it a saga (in quotes) because its official name is the Twilight Saga. I think that sounds silly. Saga is a dramatic sounding, weepy word. It should be a series. But still, the definition of long is objective.

    Its called a “saga” by the people who sell it, but by definition, it’s not.

    I call it Twilight Series.

    Im a fan of the twilight SAGA. I like to call it that. But not because Edward’s hot or whatever. I dont like Edward. I heart Jacob. But i like it for the story. Oh if ur a fan of the Twilight Saga read Wings. I read it because on the book Stephenie Meyer said it was a great book. Its about an orphan girl named Laurel whos a fairy and flowers grow from her back. Its so good. Its got the love traingle thing too because she loves a human David but a fairy boy named something I cant say loves her. Buy it! Its realy worth the money I read it in 2 days because I loved it so much and if you like strong female characters perfect. And she doesnt sparkle. So i guess i’m a werefairypire. LOL. Sorry to bring all this up but I want more people to read this book. Better than how I summarized it. Also read the Vampire Diaries series
