UPDATED!! CONGRATULATIONS HOLLY – you are the winner of the Maplelea Doll!

Did you know there is a line of 18″ dolls specifically created to celebrate Canadian girls and their heritage? The Maplelea Girls are 5 fabulous dolls representing the different regions, cultural interests and hobbies of Canadian girls.

Maplelea Girls is one of our newest site sponsors and they would like to introduce more Canadian and American girls to their line of dolls. We are giving away the Maplelea doll of choice to ONE lucky Doll Diaries reader. Whether you are a Canadian girl doll collector or your American Girl dolls are ready for a new friend from up North, you will love the Maplelea dolls.

Let me introduce you to Taryn, Brianne, Jenna, Alexi and the newest Maplelea Girl, Léonie – a hockey playing girl from Quebec City. Each of the Maplelea dolls are crafted with care and their face mold is modeled after a real Canadian girl. The dolls come dressed in their meet outfit and come with a 64-page book/journal. The first half of the journal is “written” by the character with details on her history, family, likes and hobbies and the second half is blank, ready for your girl to tell her own story. They are the perfect gift for girls 6-12 who love dolls. They are not really meant to be “twin” or “just like me” dolls, rather “best friend dolls” that girls can really have fun with.

• The prize is one (1) Maplelea Girl Doll of the winner’s choice (as available from the Maplelea website).
