Happy Weekend! It has been a really busy and drama filled week here, but I have got a bunch of little things to share with you! So read on…
One of our site sponsors, myWallaby, is so excited about their new and improved doll carrier/purse for girls, that they are having a giveaway at their site. Visit the myWallaby blog and enter to win one of the new myWallaby agile doll carriers.- The Maplelea Girls 2010 Photo Contest is now open! They are looking for photos from every corner of Canada!

- MyPinkPlanet shared some really cute printable doll activities – like how to make a passport, laptop and more.
- Our friends at My Twinn The Just Like Me Doll: (www.mytwinn.com)
have launched a new online world where you can dress up your My Twinn dolls, do activities, send e-cards and more. The best part? Its free, there is nothing to download and it looks like a lot of fun.
I love all the fun crafts that Lisa Marie keeps adding the the Raising American Girls site. The latest craft – Make a Tutu for your Doll. And if you haven’t done it already, you might just want to make a card for your Mom as tomorrow is Mother’s Day (at least it is in the US).- And I know this is not really doll related, but you could certainly use it for the dolls, WallCandy® Arts has the coolest Peel-n-Stick Chalkboard wall stickers and they have Peel-n-Stick Whiteboard tiles, too. What a great way to make a “classroom” for your dolls or for any room in your house.
- If you are going to be near the American Girl Place in New York on June 28, check out Molly’s All-American Ballet. Join us for an unforgettable ballet event—Molly McIntire style! Spend this special day with your girl in the heart of New York City. Explore Molly’s 1940s world, learn ballet basics in a special workshop led by American Ballet Theatre, discover the classic ballet Fancy Free, meet a ballerina, and then enjoy a delightful meal. Make this a day you and your girl will remember together, forever! Reservations required. For girls ages 8 and up.
Oh!I’m going to New York June 25!I can go to Molly’s All-American Ballet!Yay!Thanks for telling me Char,I didn’t even know about it.
I celebrated mom’s day may 1, so I’m good on the card, but that tutu looks interesting.
I’m so mad that the NYC ballet thing will be exactly one month AFTER I go to New York (with a stop at AG, of course).
Are you planning on getting anything when go to the AG Place, Lena?
I really want the printouts on that website but printer is broken!
I plan to get Lanie’s stuff (by that I mean clothes, although I really want that camper……..’s accessories). I also think I’ll finish Molly’s clothes collection if I don’t finish it now.
Do you remember when I deleted my doll Nellie’s blog about a month ago? Well, I just realized that Nellie didn’t make a farewell post. So her blog is back… temporarily. I’ll let everyone read over her posts, comment, whatever for about a week. Then it will be completely gone. Okay? Just click my name to read her latest post and some past ones.
Wait, there’s an AG place in NY coming soon? I LIVE IN NY!!!!!
There’s been an AG on 5th Avenue in Manhattan since 2005, I think. Not too sure on the date, but at least 3 years, I was there in 08.
Yes, Emily L., It was one of the first ones, if not the first one.
That’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think AG stores opened in this order(I have no idea when American Girl B&B Atlanta and Boston opened)
Chicago(in 1998)
New York(2003)
LA(2006)
Dallas(2007,I THINK)
Chicago reopening(2008,I’m not sure)
Minneapolis MOA(2009 or 2008,but probably 2009)
Denver(of course,2010)
Why did the Chicago store re-open?
Because the original place it was went bankrupt, so they had to move the store somewhere else.
Lena, seriously-where do you get all this AG information?? I wanna know as much as you do someday
Grace, I pick it up from comments here, on other fan sites, and from my cousin. I have a good memory, that’s all.
OTHER FAN SITES? *grabs computer monitor* I NEED THEM! I NEED THEM!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Like I said before, on 5th Avenue on Manhattan.
I’m fumming mad. My dad cancelled our trip to NYC. Instead, we’re going RVing to Stone Mountain, Georgia. That’s close enough to Atlanta that I can still go to AG, but I had other plans for NY. Boo.
Awww, Lena! Im sorry. Just be glad, though, that you get to go to AGP at all. I never have been,
You aren’t missing much, Grace. There’s a few “exclusive” stuff you can do there, but other than that, it’s just getting your your doll stuff quicker.
Going to Georgia actually sounds pretty cool, Lena.
Lena,I think it’s cool that you get to go to AG store!
And Grace,you can look up info in AG Playthings. Want to look at photos of retired stuff/dolls and such? Go to AG Playthings message board,go to Reviews Archive,and click whatever you want!
You don’t really need to make an account or something to read reviews. I guess it’s only “open” part of the message boards!
And I’m not sure how people get exclusive kit or something early(of course,after WE find it out,I think. I’m not sure anyone knew about Lanie much as AG community did). But it’s impossible to get any info early unless you work at/with AG.
When will new stuff be released or do we kno yet?
Is everyone mad at me for making that farewell post and then my saying I could in fact be on it? Why is no one talking to me when I post? Is it because of that? I’m really sorry if I annoyed anyone. Please just tell me the truth!
Michaela, you didn’t annoy me… Heck, I was thinking the same thing (I’ve been getting a lot of spam too), but decided against leaving. For the record, I don’t read doll’s blogs.
So… has everyone heard about the new book series AG is coming out with?
ok i just want you guys to see that their is two lenas i just joined dolldiaries and i am sad no one will talk to me
Yeah, apperently AG”s launching a virtual world (varoius online sources and my inside source) and those books go with it.
Hi lena-don’t be sad-when I was new everyone treated me like a weirdo lol
And Michaela-NO WAY! Im not mad AT ALL.
