I recently bought the American Girl Doll Purses book
It comes with a lot and is worth the money! You can make so many purses for your doll, and it lets your creativity flow!
This is what it contains(this was on the back of the kit):
*32 page book *21 sparkling jewels
* 12 Classic paper purses *4 pony beads
*7 ribbons * 2 metal rim tags
* 1 sheet of pink velvet paper *7 sheets of decorative paper
*1 sheet of sticky dots *1 sheet of glitter stickers
* 1 metallic punch out sheet * 2 sheets of letter stickers
Here is what the inside looked like before I took out all the pieces.
Here is everything this kit contains. (It does contain 2 sheets of letter sticker, but I just found out 1 was stuck to the back and I didn't know there were 2 of them) It comes with a lot!
I haven't made very many purses yet, but I did make 1. :)
This is the purse I made. :) Everything that I made it with was included in the kit. :)
Mia really enjoys her new purse, she can't wait to use it! :)
Do you own the doll purses book? Have you created some neat purses? You can email me a picture of a purse you have made at email@americangirlfan.com. If I get enough I could make a post of all of them. :)
What is your favorite Hands-on Kit American Girl has made?
That is too cute! Wear is the shirt Mia is wearing from? I haven't seen it.
I like the Doll Scrapbook and T-Shirt Making Kit. I have both of them and they are fun! The Scrapbook comes with lots of little mementos, like plane tickets and ribbons and even a report card. Its very cute, but I'm not really the Scrapbooking type. The T-Shirt Making Kit is also fun. I made a shirt with buttons and one with flowers. They are cute, but delicate.

I like the T-shirt kit. It's more expensive, but I get a lot of use out of the shirts.

For Christmas I got the Doll Crafts book. It is probably my favorite AG book ever! My dad made me a doll beach house for my birthday and the book has a lot of stuff that can go into my doll house! It has a mirror, boom box, desk supplies, and a bunch of other cool stuff!
Homeschoolers ROCK!
Peace out!♥

Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for your comment! I love when I get feedback from my readers! :)
I try to post as often as I can, but I get busy with other things too. Along with American Girl and my website, I have lots of other hobbies I enjoy. I really enjoy card-making, crafts, reading books (I am reading the Anne of Green Gable series!), watching movies, and being with my family. What hobbies do you enjoy?
I am going to try and post a little more often though. I have something VERY special coming up this week! So, stay tuned! :)
Your Friend,
Liz :)

Also, Starr, the shirt is actually a shirt I recently found in my closet! :) It is a non-american girl brand. I think it was from a brand called Tolly for 18 inch dolls. I was really happy to find it, and also to find that it fits my dolls! :)

Posted by: Liz (An American Girl Fan) | January 25, 2009 at 05:59 PM
Ooh, now I'm excited about this "very special" thing coming up! What could it be? LOL
I was admiring that shirt that Mia has, too. I have a lot of non-AG brand doll clothes.
Also, I love crafts too. Right now since I tore a muscle in 3 places in my leg(No volleyball, basketball or dance for a while:( ), I have been scrapbooking like a maniac.

I want to get that book! Does anyone here have the Kit Kittredge scooter? Does it look cheap? Is it fun to play with? I want to buy it but I need some advice first.
Posted by: Savanna | January 26, 2009 at 01:05 PM

We got it at the library, and my mom just got the 2nd movie from the Library too-Anne of Avonlea. :)

Hey Anne!
Cool! I made a new photo story today. Do you ever make photo stories?
Posted by: Quinlyn | March 24, 2009 at 07:46 PM
I wrote a story without pictures, but I have pictures that go with it. So I'll have to put it with it.:) My story is called Christmas Secrets. It was about my dolls and their adventures on Christmas Day!!
Also do you ever go on www.ourdolls.net or the message board? I do!:)
Posted by: Anne | March 24, 2009 at 08:22 PM
Hey Anne,
I used to, and I sometimes do now, but I saw some bad things on Our Dolls. Did you?
Posted by: Quinlyn | March 24, 2009 at 08:29 PM
I think Rebecca looks pretty sure of herself in that one picture, don't you?
Posted by: Quinlyn | March 24, 2009 at 09:38 PM
Yes!! She definatley does!:)
Was it an ad on Our Dolls? Or was it actually part of Our Dolls? Because if it was an ad you can click something so that the ads don't come up.:) That's what I did.:)
I don't think I have seen anything bad before though.
Posted by: Anne | March 25, 2009 at 04:05 PM
Hey Anne,
Yes, it was part of Our Dolls. Ads can be bad, too, though, can't they?
Posted by: Quinlyn | March 25, 2009 at 04:25 PM
Yes they definatley can.
Posted by: Anne | March 25, 2009 at 05:10 PM
