We are planning our weekend in Chicago and I just realized that in conjunction with the special events for Stop the Bullying Day, actress Sammi Hanratty (who starred as Chrissa in the movie) will be at the American Girl Place Chicago location on Friday, May 1 and will be at the Mall of America location on Saturday, May 2.
I plan on going to the American Girl Place in Chicago at some point this weekend – but I’m not quite sure when yet. Either way, it looks like there will be a lot activity there – they are celebrating Julie’s birthday on Saturday, too – so I am sure I will get good pictures, no matter what.
I also noticed Chrissa’s swimsuit set is back in stock – I had better call a personal shopper at the Chicago store and have her put one aside for me now as that has been on my daughter’s wish list since Chrissa came out.
Stay tuned for more on my visit to AGPC!
Lillee, I have to say I agree. I know plenty of less cute actresses that are really good but no one cares cus they aren’t cute. And I really didn’t like Abigail’s wig in Kit movie.
Ya I know! My bff is a great actor and she looks just like Kit!
PLEASE remember to click my name to my blog! I don’t want to be annoying, but I would love it if you commented on it!
Lucky you! I wish I could go!
I really like Abigail Breslin, I think she’s a great actress. But I especially like her performance in “The Ultimate Gift”. I love that movie!! I also like Anna Sophia Robb, her acting was a bit fake in the Samantha movie, but all her other movies are great too. I don’t know too much about Sammi, I’ve never seen her in any movies before. Haha, yeah Lena, I actually thought “Kit’s” wig was Abby’s real hair (like in a really bad haircut) but then I found out it was a wig.
HI JOVI!!!!! We really miss you chatting!!! So nothing new has really happened, same old, same old. well, ima off for a while you guys, we just rented these movies called “the curious case of benjamen button” and “legally blondeS” bye 4 now
Going to American Girl Place Chicago in about 20 minutes – will post pictures tonight or tomorrow.
I did see Sammi in something else, but I’m not sure if Char would appreciate me saying what, since it was more of an adult comedy.
It’s raining hard over here!
Not alot of people are on Doll Diaries today!
i’ve seen sammi in : (of course) chrissa, suite life, and icarly… (BTW, no offense, but icarly is..uh.. weird!!

It was pretty sad though.. so was marly and me!!! we rented it last night and it’s the only movie where i’ve ever cried!! (hardly though)
o btw, my symptoms are just of a cold’s. nothing to wry about
Im back everyone! and this is the best day of my lefe so PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE.
I WENT ON EBAY TO LOOK AT AGS AND ENDED UP BIDDING ON A 42 SECOND KIRSTEN DOLL. I KNEW THERE WAS ALMOST NO HOPE FOR ME WHEN….. I WON THE CONTEST!!!!! KIRSTEN WILL BE MINE VERY SOON!!! I EVEN GET TWO RETIRED OUTFITS AND…. so ya you pretty much get the point. YAY KIRSTEN LARSON!!!!!
Sorry about the moutful but its 100% true. Im pretty excited but Kirsten wasnt at the top of my list. Im still glad though because she was an original. Im also wondering she was a pleasent or not. when she gets here ill let you guys know IMMEDIATLY. ASAP. I was orginally going to get a Bitty Baby, then Kit, Then Kirsten. IM SO EXCITED!!!
Sammi has also been on a show called Pushing Daisies, she’s been on a lot of one time TV episode shows too
Yeah, I was trying to not say the title of Pushing Dasies cause it might be too inappropriate for kids.
The show, I mean.

ya, never watched that show… looked kinda stupid (no offense) so…

Thanks Holly!!! I also can’t believe I get a retired outfit!! my mom says if she ships it out Monday, it could possibly be here Wednesday afternoon!!
AGP Chicago was amazing and I took a TON of pictures! WIll have to wait until I get home to post – look for them tomorrow
And just so you guys know, I had earned like half the money for an AGD at the garage sale I was telling you about. and well, I was looking on the internet with my mom when I asked her to bid. anyway, I’m still SUPER glad my mom checked Ebay before I ended up buying Kit on AG. so ya, I think you get the point cause ive told you 8000 times. lol.
And also, I was with my mom when I ended up bidding on Kirsten. And, I almost got Kit but my mom stopped me by looking on Ebay first. the bad part is I dont get a welcome outfit or meet book. I suspect I could just buy the outfit of Ebay and get the book at my local Library. And ya, I had to retype this message so now I’m Really stressed. but you get the point.
oh man. I HAD TO REDO THAT AND IT WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!
Abby, If you call AG customer service, you can buy the meet outfit.
Thanks Lena. I’m waiting for my brother and my dad to come back from Illinois. There in Chicago right now and they said they got me a suviner on the phone. What if they got me an AGD??? I called them and told them I got Kirsten after they got my suviner.
Okay Char, I’ll be waiting!!
I play fiddle, and when you go to fiddle contests they pay you money. I’m going to one this month, so I’ll probably get Ivy. P.S. I really need readers for my blog! Please click my name!
Cool Bookworm, I play violin/fiddle (I take lessons in classical violin and Irish fiddling) You do make money off of it, but I never get to go cause I always have something else planned.
so you can buy a meet outfit if you ccalll customer service? how much is it for the outfit?
cool blog bookworm
who likes sammi
My suviner was a pearl necklace. who knew?
YUMMY! I’m eating rasberry dolewhip. dolewhip is soft serve non fat ice cream.
That’s weird she’s not holding her charector Chrissa!
bookworm,i love your blog!
Thanks for visiting my blog Priscilla, Lena, and Chrysanthamum! Be sure to check it often for new posts : )
The entire meet outfit alone is about 20$.
wait, seriously? They sell the meet outfits seperately??? omg, I need to get elizabeth’s outfit then………
Well, they sell them as replacement parts, so sometimes you can’t get the whole outfit, but they do sell them.
Madison, did the humidifier work for those frizzies at the bottom of the doll’s hair? I’ve been looking into the plastic steamer method but we don’t have one. We do have loads of humidifiers, though – we have a piano, larger than a baby grand but smaller than a grand (forget what that size is called) and we have to have like three humidifiers hooked up in the living room alone working all day every day during the dry winter months. Anyway:
Did it fix those frizzies?
What exactly did you do/how did you do it?
Thanks!!!
I live in Chicago and couldn’t get the day off to go! I was soooo madddd!!!
i have chrissa max well . she is pretty sam is lucky to have snoli and gwen
im not sure which doll i’ll buy next. theyre all so pretty. i love the clothes/accessories for the histocails.
