While American Girl Nicki came out in 2007 and I remember reading her books aloud to Natalie when she was about 6 or 7, we did not add Nicki to our doll family until 2011 when she and Kailey were given to us by one of Megan’s friends who had outgrown them and was moving. [...]
We all love seeing dolls who have been well-loved (or maybe not loved enough) get a new lease on life because someone took the time to give them a little extra TLC. One of our readers, Flower, gave her Molly a hair makeover and was nice enough to share with us how she did it. [...]
The very first American Girl of the Year to join our doll family was GOTY 2005 Marisol Luna. Megan loved her story and her dance costumes. When I look at Marisol, consider how long we have had her and how much she has been played with, she really is in great shape! Her long wavy [...]
American Girl has had so many great outfits and accessories for horse lovers over the years – including a horse loving girl of the year Nicki and historical characters Felicity and Kaya. Today we take a look back at a few of them. The first four photos are from Sarah Kate: Felicity and Elizabeth are [...]
This afternoon Natalie took the task of going through all the doll of the day posts and figuring out who we have featured and which dolls still needed their time in the spotlight. Then she chose today’s doll of the day and did the photography. Natalie chose Elizabeth – also known as Felicity’s best friend. [...]
So word on the street – well, Barnes and Noble, is that American Girl is coming out with a Mini Saige doll on July 1. And here is the photo that is floating around of her (found by agoverseasfan)… What do you think? Is it about time AG made mini GOTY dolls? Should the mini [...]
No, we do not have Kaya in our collection (although we have come close quite a few times), but when Miriam sent me these gorgeous photos of Kaya, I just decided that she had to be the doll of the day today! Kaya has a one of a kind face mold – no other American [...]
American Girl of the Year 2010, Lanie, is an energetic, outdoors loving girl who is interested in science and nature. While we do not have Lanie as part of our collection, obviously many of you do, because I got A TON of Lanie photos this week. I did not use every photo that was sent [...]
Happy Birthday Julie!! Julie’s birthday is May 1, 1966 which means she is the same age (give or take a year or two) as most of my friends and me. When Julie was released as the newest historical doll, Moms all across the US suddenly felt “old” but there is something really neat about being able to share [...]
Samantha is one of the ”original three” dolls created by Pleasant T. Rowland in the American Girl Collection. For many, Samantha is synonymous with American Girl and she was also the first American Girl historical character to be “archived.” Samantha’s stories are from 1904. She was raised by her wealthy Grandmother and spent much of [...]
A new American Girl catalog landed in our mailbox today and just in case you haven’t got one yet, I took a few photos for you. There really aren’t any new outfits or items for dolls but there are some new activities and events you may be interested in – especially as summer planning begins. [...]
One of our readers, Cordelia, has a special guest post for us today. Make sure you read to the end for a fun little surprise from days gone by. *** Ever since I saw the pictures of Saige’s art supplies, I have wanted to create an art studio for my dolls. With the help of [...]
Madelon found some cute and inexpensive hot air balloon stickers and used them to make a mini scrapbook for Saige. Isn’t this cute? It is the perfect size for her! All you need is a mini notebook and stickers. Madelon found a sheet of Limited Edition Stickerdoodles by Colorbok that were the perfect theme. Madelon found [...]

Meet Callie – Natalie’s My AG #39. Natalie asked for Callie for Christmas in 2011, right before McKenna came out. I knew she was going to want McKenna and at the time I thought Callie might look too much like McKenna, but actually she looks more like Emily. Anyhow, Callie is a very good choice [...]
