In the past years we have had a Doll Diaries Dolloween Parade showcasing dolls of all kinds dressed up and ready for a Halloween costume party. This year I am hoping to have it set up so you can upload your own Dolloween photos directly and don’t have to wait for me to get them posted. (I am a busy gal, you know!)
So start getting your dolls ready for the parade. Any doll (American Girl, Barbie, Tonner, Madame Alexander, etc) or bear (Webkinz, Build a Bear, Gund, etc) that is decked out for Halloween is invited to participate!
Stay tuned for details – I hope to have the page set up by mid-week.
And there may will be prizes for the best photos! I have a few goodies in my secret American Girl stash that I will be giving away (will announce prizes when I announce the start of photo submission) and if there are any doll related vendors that want to donate a prize to our contest, we’d love to showcase your product!
Oh yeah, it was their birthday! Happy Birthday, Cara and Mady! I love them and they are pretty much the reason I watch the show!
Hey guys.
Hi! Anyone on?
Happy Birthday Cara & Mady! I wish you could see this!
I’m on!
Coolio Anne!
Anyway, I’ve put all my dolls in their halloween costumes and I have mini trick-or-treat buckets. I’ve switched some things around, so here’s how it goes:
)
Molly- Mall Cop
Kit- Professional Swimmer
Addy- African Princess
Josefina- Hawaiien Islander / Hula Dancer
Felicity- “Fancy Nancy” Movie Star
Eva Grace- Hospital Patient
Lulu- Street Skateboarder Girl (WITH official American Girl doll Heelys!
Kathleen- Angel of God
Samantha- AG Cheerleader
I am going to send the pictures to Char soon! What are all your girls going to be?
HELLO! Is anyone here?
Good Morning! Wow. I can’t believe nobody has been on here since 6:35 last night?
well I am on.
Here are my dolls costumes:
crystal-dace team captain
felicity-hippie
nellie-Junie B. jones
julie-pioneer
chrissa-mummy
rebecca-princess
coconut-swimmer
licorice-ag place worker
starburst-robot
That’s funny she’s Junie B. Jones. I used to love those books!
Thanx so did i
I got Kirsten’s winter outfit yesterday!! I put it on her, and it looks adorable! I’m very happy that I spent the money on the outfit!! It was worth it!
Guys, have you seen the new American Girl catalouge with Molly on the cover? If you go to the hospital page, they have a picture or a doll with marker all over her face and frizzy hair. I know how that can really happen, but it’s so fake how they advertize it! They are like, we can fix your doll again! But all they do is just put a new head on. It’s like, they don’t even TRY to do anything like actual try to get that stuff out. My Josefina used to have bad hair (I fixed it) but when she used to her actual “head” had nothing wrong with it. Only her hair. I wrote to them about it and they said, “you just got to get a new head”. And that was $40!!!! While some people can re-wig and replace strings and that much without a new head!!! AG just wants to make money! Ugh!
Oh, and when my Kit went, we wrote to them to fix a limb. We thought they’d at least brush her hair too, but they didn’t!
I read and liked the J.B.J. books when I was younger, too. That’s a really cool costume idea!
I love Kirsten’s winter outfit, too – so worth it!
I know, I hate the hospital advertising, too. Always laugh when I see it.
yaeh nellie looks soo cute as Junie B. Jones also I have never sent a doll to the hospital but I heard that if you have a retired doll they cant replace it or fix it is this true?
Are you guys making the costumes or buying them?
I think they can fix/replace a retired/PM doll but it would not be the original. But I’m not 100% sure of that. Nellie is such a cute doll overall, so I can imagine how adorable she looks in her costume!
If I end up dressing my dolls up this year, I will be making their costumes.
I got a PM Felicity in the mail last week (I’m not keeping her). I was amazed at how much chubbier her face was than my 2005 Felicity.
Oh! Junie B. Jones! I used to have like 20 of her books!
Do you prefer either Lissie, seeing them both in real life and all, Lily? What condition is she in? Are you going to fix her up and then sell her (I’m guessing that’s the plan)?
Wow, not busy here today at all!
Or today! I’m going to be gone for most of the day.
The one I bought is in very good condition. Her hair is still silky too. I just need to clean her legs off before I sell her and she’ll be good to go. I don’t really prefer one doll over the other. I like my new Felicity’s hair color better since it’s more of a bright auburn instead of dull rust color. And I kind of like the old Felicity’s chubby face more, but not enough to sell my 2005 Felicity, especially since I paid full price for her. I’m just not a Pre-Mattel purist. They’re great dolls, but so are the ones that around today.
Guess what? I got the AG Doll School set! It’s so awesome! It has, like everything!!! I payed my own money for it! I already had like a little math meeting school thing, but all these things will change my little set into a whole entire school!!! My brother and I made everything like the textbooks, punched out the library cards, made books, and more! Now all there is left to do is make the piano (we didn’t have the right paper) and play! On American Girl Fan.com by Liz, she will show you everything inside it.
P.S. I went to like a cupcake factory place today after church, and it was cool! You went in and picked out a cupcake flavor, then went to all to all these tables step-by-step to make your own, full cupcake!!! It would be an awesome place to have a birthday party, but mine is already planned. (this saturday!!!!)
Nobody has been on in a while! It’s usually busy. Anyone on?

I’m here! Sry, I was @ youth group! We went 2 Smoothie King!!!!
I’m here now, but its definitley been awhile since you asked. (:
Does anybody know a Sierra who may have used to come on here?
I think I remember that name from this site. Why do you ask?
Oops, teehee its Sienna… I was curious because my friend Zoeigh said she used to be really good online friends with her through this, and then Sienna dropped off the face of the earth, totally ignoring her…so when Zoeigh heard I get on here she asked. (: Basically I was asking for a totally random reason, lol
They’ve changed the website a little. At least Kirsten is finally getting the respect she deserves. The archival is being announced on the front page.
I love the new homepage. It feels just like the holidays.
I like the new layout, mostly because it features Kirsten and her archival. And I agree, Lily, it feels like the holidays.
Who has the day off from school today?
Oh, and Sienna sounds familiar, though I haven’t seen her post here for a while.
I don’t have the day off from taekwondo and dance, but I took today to correct the work I did wrong and turn it in again (I love my school, just because they let me do this).
OMGoodness! I so love the new AG website look! Is it only here for the holidays. I saw somebody has posted a picture of one of the pages on the new website, and somebody was like, “What website is that? I haven’t seen it ever.”
ya it is really cool!
We had skool 2day but it was fun cause we had a Civil War day. That means we got 2 dress up as if we were from either the North or the South (the teachers dressed up 2!! One was Abe Lincoln! And she was a girl! And short!! It was funny!!!!!!!!) And renactors came and showed us artifacts from the Civil War! It was cool!
The website looks like the stuff dreams are made of! I feel like I’m on cloud nine! I’m freaking out!
I didn’t learn at all today, because it’s Columbus Day! Okay fine I learned about the history of Columbus Day for like an hour and that’s it!
So cool, Sara. I would love that, I know you did! For Thanksgiving, we get to dress up as pilgrim/pioneer people, etc. And 5th grade is fun, I love it.
We get to have to biggest Christmas and Thanksgiving and etc. parties because it is our last year of really having them. We always only have recess to 5 min- 20 min because ess is just all we left of the day.
I mean recess, not “ess”
Madeline~ It was awesome! Altho, the food wasn’t that great! But we had KFC so it was all good.
Where’s AGlover and Banana? I used 2 talk 2 them a lot, but now they aren’t on anymore! Prolly cause they’re busy w/ skool. I can understand that!
Hello?????
l love the new ag website!
I miss the days of school parties and learning about holidays. It was so much fun. The government of Ancient Rome is not.
A lot of schools here had the day off – but none in my district. I got the day off from my college (which is weird because they never give us any holidays and to get this holiday off, of all holidays, is odd, don’t you think?) and chose to not do any work online/workbooks today, either! I have a big work day tomorrow, though.
I miss those days, too.
Sara, I wish I was there! Sounds like so much fun and something I would absolutely love!
Lily, what history are you doing this year?
World History. So many people to remember!
I had today off. I’m dreading tomorrow. PSAT on Wednesday. Yuck.
And, the teacher that was Abe Lincoln, she had black rain boots! With polka dots!!! That killed me! It was hilarious! One of the renactors said she was the shortest Abe Lincoln that he’d ever seen! And I looked more like a pioneer than anything! It was awesome!! And funny!
