Another week, another full inbox! I love it!
Alyssa sent in some great pictures of her dolls and things she has made for them. From left to right. Back row- Samantha, Rebecca, Kit, Elizabeth, Felicity (on the horse from Battat) with a Best Friends to be Made cat, Mia, Julie, Ivy, and Kirsten. Bottom Row- Kanani, Grace (Kit’s dog), Nellie, Lulu (Julie’s bunny), Sonali, Lanie, Rebecca’s cats, Gwen, Chrissa, Ruthie, Molly, Josefina, and Kaya. If you’re wondering, I have 19 dolls, 3 doll cats, one doll bunny, one doll dog, one doll horse, and a doll hamster. You can see individuals and the doll school items she has made at lovealldoll.blogspot.com.
From Priya at AmericanGirlPlayground.com , “Just yesterday I made a Mardi Gras skirt for my doll out of tissue paper. I was inspired by Karen’s craft for a Mardi Gras skirt made with streamers that she posted on Doll Diaries. First, I wrapped white tissue paper around her and secured it in the back with a hair band. Then I carefully wrapped two smaller pieces of pink tissue paper around the white tissue paper and tied a ribbon around it. Here is a photo of her wearing the skirt along with a Mardi Gras mask I made. “
Sydney sent in this cute photo of her doll Asia with her dog Cooper.
Emily did a great job on this duck tape dress for Chrissa.
Madelon sent in another great find. “The weather was so nice today Kanani decided to have her snack outside. She is trying to pick from an assortment of treats. All of the desserts are actually lip glosses that wer purchased for one dollar each at the dollar store.”
Emma got Cecile’s new outfit and took an adorable photo of her doll wearing it. According to Emma, “The dress is sort of the material that Elizabeth’s meet outfit is made of. It is a lovely yellow that most dolls should be able to pull off. The bonnet is worth the whole purchase! It is so dainty looking! It even comes with boots, which will match almost anything.”
Alicia went to the American Girl store and brought home her new McKenna (who I think looks great in red). “I went to the American girl place in Seattle and I got my newest American girl doll McKenna. Here she is wearing the leggings that came with her outfit and the American girl Seattle t shirt and the scarf and mittens, it also came with a hat but i didn’t put it on her. I also got some clothes for my other dolls and a few of McKenna’s outfits and the Sweet Treats pajamas, McKenna looks really cute in it.”
Lisa got a new Carpatina doll this week – Veronika – except that she renamed her Vaidilut? which is Lithuanian for “priestess” and it’s pronounced pretty much the way it looks: VY dih LUT ey. Lisa was absolutely stunned at how gorgeous Vaidilut? is – so much PIP (Prettier in Person) even than she had expected. I will have to agree with Lisa on this one – stunning!
Here Vaidilut? is comparing dresses with her Carpatina sister Ana-Ming who Lisa has renamed Kirsa which is Mongolian for “Fox.”
Thank you so much for posting my photo!! 😀
cool i wanted to say this for a long time firsty
firste!
wooops
i mean secondie
I loved all of them!
Which doll is in the third picture?
cute
char where can u get like erasers that look like doll food?
i really want some
cool
Check the dollar aisle at Target, look at the Dollar Store or Walmart. And if all else fails, do a search for them on Amazon and you will find a TON.
I love that lime green duct tape dress! It’s so cool!
Btw, that’s Lanie’s bunny in the first picture, not Julie’s.
Asia (a.k.a. this third doll) is My American Girl #37
Hey char i got the shirt yesterday and it is even cuter in person i also liked the stickers and might i say you have lovely handwriting
So glad to hear that! And thanks for the compliment on my handwriting 😉
coolllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
I got C’s yellow dress yesterday, and I’m pretty disapointed with the dress itself. Her crinoline shows through pretty obviously, and the material is not good for NOLA in summer. And I’m a little annoyed that the dress dowsn’t have a ruffle at the bottom like the paper doll version, but I can learn to live with that. The bonnet was worth getting the dress thought.
I also got her parasol, which is plastic except for the lace, which is gorgeous. The food set is also very pretty, made of real glass, and I adore that the food is minimally clumped. The beignettes are seperate, and most of the fruit is only clumped with one other thing, or in the case of the bananas, only to eachother. The pineapple is not clumped.
Can’t comment much on the table & chairs, since its still boxed up as I’m moving soon, but they are all made of metal and very heavy.
Char was mine to dark ? Cause I took it and sent it before I went to bed
McKenna is totally taunting me! Must. Have. Her….. 😀
Cute!
wow! That was my first picture to be posted on dolldiaries and online, ever!
I love all the pictures and I really want to get the MG and C summer outfits but C will be for Kirsten I don’t think C looks good in yellow but I will see if I get the outfits
Thanks for putting up my pic Char! I had to put that dress on Ruthie-reminded me of Bonnie Blue Butler (Scarlet’s daughter) on Gone With the Wind. I’m loving the alternative doll food! So much cheaper than AG.
thx char
idk if veronika is beautiful or if she scares me 0_0
Char did you get my email?????? 🙂
Not sure – what was the title of it or what was in it?
Thanks for posting this, Char! Gail, Veronika’s not scary at all in person. 😉
I think its funny that Emily took a picture of Chrissa, because my Chrissa dolls name is Emily, haha.
These are all aDOLLable. (hehe!)
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN READER PHOTOS! EExcept Karen’s Crafts and Char’s monthly photo contests 🙂
But char was my picture to dark?
Yes, it was too dark and grainy.
Barbara, if it’s Lanie’s bunny why did it come with Julie’s accessories? It’s mine, I would know.
Actually it is Lanie’s bunny, but I dont even have Lanie’s accessories, though. Weird. And I’ve had it for a while when I had Julie and not Lanie…
Wow! That first picture was alot of dolls! I only have two! They must be very entertained with playdates and birthday parties!
