Reader Spotlight and AG Fashion Show Report

One of our readers, BonggaMom, and her girls sent in a photo of their dolls hanging out by the doll bunkbed their super cool Dad made.

About the photo: The bunk bed was made for my daughter Natalie by my husband, and the blankets were knitted for her by her grandmother. Mia is wearing the Just Like Me doll skirt and a t-shirt from the Doll Tees: Sparkling Shirts to Make Your Doll Shine! (American Girl Library). Natalia (who is a Just Like Me doll) is wearing the souvenir outfit from an AG Fashion Show that we attended for my daughter Natalie’s birthday. You can see even more photos and get a full report on the American Girl Fashion Show at Bonggamom’s site.

One of the items in the goody bag they gave Natalie at the fashion show was some coloring pages. (You can print the doll coloring pages here)

If you have pictures of your dolls (American Girl, My Twinn, Carpatina, Barbie or any line really) you would like to have featured here, email them to share@dolldiaries.com.
