News, photos, reviews and more about dolls of all kinds including American Girl, MyTwinn, Barbie, Groovy Girl and many more.
Pin itElizabeth’s photos of her Ellowyne dolls have been so much fun to look at and this week she is sharing even more photos with us – but of even more dolls she has in her collection. Elizabeth’s collection is a great example of what I have heard from a few very esteemed doll collectors [...]
Pin itSo many cute photos in my inbox this week!! I am actually going to do two Sunday Showcase posts today – this one will have all the Sunday Showcase photos and the one later this afternoon will show all the photos I have received recently from Doll Diaries t-shirt winners. Melina sent in a [...]
Pin itOne of the suggestions I have received is to feature a doll of the week – and to that I say “great idea!” I felt it would only be fitting to kick off the new series by featuring the very first American Girl doll my older daughter got – she is a Girl of [...]
Pin it I just stumbled across a really neat article in the New York Times (website) about Girls and their Dolls. It is an article on Ilona Szwarc, a photo journalist who is working on a project that looks into the cultural and personal connections that girls have with their dolls – in this case, [...]
Pin itI was just reading at AmericanGirlFan.com that according to Ysa Penarejo’s Facebook page, McKenna’s movie will air first on NBC on July 14, 2012 and will also be available on DVD. The trailer and additional information will be added to www.familymovienight.com at some point is my assumption. The DVD is not yet showing up [...]
Pin itFor Easter the girls got a few new outfits for their dolls – two of them are from one of my favorite Etsy stores – Mini Me Dolly Divas – and they are just too cute not to share. Say hello again to Nicole!! Who is Nicole, you ask? Nicole is the very first [...]
Pin itSo, I have decided to give the weekly reader photo submission round ups a name of their own – Sunday Showcase. I love seeing what adventures your dolls are having, the things you have made for them and your new finds – and half the fun is being able to share your love of [...]
Pin itDo you like spring sports? Our American Girl dolls do! Actually, they like all sports and one of these days I am going to photograph all our sports outfits being modeled, but for now, join Emily, Marisol and Gwen as they get ready to play and I review three new sports outfits. It’s a [...]
Pin it There are some super talented young ladies out there!! One of them is AGOverseasFan – she has shared her stunning photography with us in many of the Doll Diaries Reader Photo events and her videos are always fun. Check out this C-U-T-E video she did just in time for Easter… I’m warning you [...]
Pin itDue to the growing number of readers who are sharing photos of dolls other than American Girl (specifically Ellowyne’s and other 14-16″ dolls) I have had some t-shirts made by Mini Me Dolly Divas so that more dolls can get in on the fun! So thanks to My Doll’s Life for supplying the shirts [...]
Pin it I love the American Girl craft supplies and kits you can get at Michael’s – they are perfect for last minute gifts for AG loving girls, perfect for rainy day projects and are just super cute (see our review of the apron kit and the tote bag kit). I recently saw that they [...]
Pin itIt’s no fooling, I think you all are great and I love being able to share the photos you take of your dolls with everyone!! Alicia made McKenna a dress using the My Froggy Stuff video and her favorite old skirt. Looks great if you ask me. Madelon’s daughter Emily took two of her [...]
Pin it Did you know that you can find free printable activities to go with all the American Girl characters, the Girl of the Year, Innerstar U and many of the mystery books? The American Girl Publishing website has loads of free printables, learning guides and things you would need for an American Girl event, [...]
Pin it Does anyone else think American Girl REALLY MESSED UP with McKenna’s collection? I can not recall another Girl of the Year where so much of her collection was BACKORDERED this early in the year as McKenna’s is. One of the reasons we have not got her yet, is that you can not purchase [...]
Pin itWe received a box from A Girl for all Time yesterday and inside it was two Matilda dolls, two Matilda’s Secret books by Sandra Goldbacher and two Matilda’s Keepsakes and Secrets activity books for girls. I will be announcing the complete rules and details of the Matilda giveaway later today, but in the mean [...]
