I hope everyone is having a wonderful Earth Day! We are enjoying a calm spring rain which makes for the perfect Sunday, in my opinion! First, today it the last day for the April Reader Photo contest – get your entries in by midnight tonight and I will announce the winners tomorrow. Second, if you have not had a chance to take the Doll Diaries survey yet, please do – I am not sharing the information with companies – it is for my own personal use to make Doll Diaries an even better destination on the web! Plus, you have given me so much great feedback – I will be sharing answers to some of the questions and suggestions in future posts.
Here are some of the photos our readers have shared with me this week via email and also on our Facebook page.
Camden went to Washington DC and while she was there she bought McKenna at the American Girl store at Tysons. McKenna is taking in the sights in our Nation’s Capital – that is the Washington Monument in the background. Camden said the American Girl store did not even have McKenna’s gymnastics equipment on display.
Laurie gave her dolls a spa day. She followed the instructions for washing their hair that the staff at the American Girl Doll Salon gave her and it turned out perfect!
Laurie also took Elizabeth out for breakfast in Deleon Springs. She got to make her own pancakes and made doll sized ones for Elizabeth too.
Alicia got her first My American Girl doll and named her Yvette. Too cute if you ask me!!
Madelon’s Little Miss Matched Sporty Girl loves to climb trees and thinks life looks great from up high.
Chloe’s dolls are enjoying this Sunday afternoon. Molly on the left, Shannon in the middle (Her grandmother brought her from Ireland in 2003) and Felicity on the right.
Tamra’s Samantha looks very comfy in her hand crocheted outfit.
Shauna’s dolls Samantha, Ashley(look alike), Mia, Julie, and Nicki are meeting their new friend Rebecca.
We love seeing what you make for your dolls, adventures they have, and great finds. If you would like to submit your photo for next week’s Reader Photo Spotlight, here are the basics:
- Email your photo to share@dolldiaries.com
- Put “Reader Photo Submission” in the subject line (I get a ton of email & this will make it easier to sort through)
- Resize your photos to 540 pixels wide (if you can)
- Make sure you include a description or caption for your photos

Chloe – Little Miss Matched dolls are soooo cute, fun to pose and very affordable – check Toys r Us, FAO.com or LittleMissMatched.com.
the outfit yvette is wearing is one of the american girl fashion show outfits. I got it on ebay. I put it on her, and she looked adorable
I recomend mckenna, i have her and if your someone who likes to style your dolls hair, she is defitnetly for you
oh i wish i could get rebbeca.
How fun!
I waited like 3 years to get Rebecca but I haven’t gotten an AG doll for a LOONNGG time so I finally broke down and got her. So worth the money spent!
That is great to hear!! That’s how I felt about Ivy.
@Chloe, I do recommend McKenna. Her hair is low maintenance
