Isn’t she just the cutest? This is the limited edition Hello Kitty from Build-a-Bear wearing her cool tropical outfit. My daughter made her this weekend.
Here is the Scruffy Puppy my other daughter made along with the free BABW beach towel they were giving out this weekend in the stores.
And Scruffy Puppy without the shades.
We also got the cutest BABW picnic basket but somehow it didn’t make into the pictures.

I got an email from BarbieCollector.com letting me know they have two direct exclusive sets right now for the Barbie My House collection. I did some more research and found out you can get them through Amazon, too.
Teresa & the Kitchen
Barbie & the Barbecue Grill set
These sets are so cute and arrive just in time for summer fun. The kids are out of school next week and my girls are looking forward to more play time with their dolls.

Adding to the growing collection of American Girl games for computer and personal games systems, American Girl Kit Mystery Challenge for Nintendo DS, will be available for purchase on June 24, 2008. Of course, you can pre-order it now to ensure that you are one of the first to play.
The game involves solving 6 different mysteries based on the Kit stories that focus on the boarders who stay in the Kittredge house during the hard economic times of the 1930s. Two of the mysteries are the Case of the Missing Rose and the Case of the Lost Pearls. Explore Kit’s hometown, collect clues as you talk to townspeople, track the evidence in Kit’s Clue Book and use put it all together to solve the mysteries. You also get to dress Kit in 6 different outfits through out the game.
My girls have really enjoyed the Julie DS game and I’m sure they will want this one too, especially once they see the Kit movie.

Thanks to Marcia, here is another photo of the new historical friend doll, Ruthie Smithens, from American Girl. Ruthie is Kit’s best friend and is being added to the collection in time for the Kit movie debut in July.
Here is a scoop photo from the American Girl site (later removed) with Ruthie circled.
I think the two look very much alike and tend to think that this is the real deal, although time will ultimately tell.
