Fun in the Sun!

Sorry about not posting much lately! My family and I have been outside a lot, and here's a clue of what else we have been doing...

...We started to fill up our inflatable pool! (In the picture it isn't done filling up yet. hehe)

What have you and your American Girl dolls been up to? I would love to know! :)

  

Summer Fun Doll Photo Gallery: Enter Now!

I can't believe Summer is almost here! Tomorrow I get out of school for Summer Break, and I can't wait to do all the fun summer things I love, especially taking pictures of my American Girl dolls! My dolls are way ahead of me, because they have already started having Summer Fun...

See? hehe

I would love to see your American Girl dolls having Summer fun too, so to kick-off Summer we are going to have a Summer Fun Doll Photo Gallery!

Here's what you have to do to enter the Photo Gallery:

-Take a picture of your American Girl doll(s) doing something summery like wearing summer clothes, sitting by the pool, having a Summer party, whatever you want! In your email tell me your name or nickname, and the names of the American Girl dolls in your picture. (You can include other Non-American Girl dolls in your picture too! So, if you don't have an American Girl doll, you can still enter a picture!)

-Send me your picture by emailing me at email@americangirlfan.com. Please send in only one picture. :)

-Be sure you get your Parent's permission before sending in your picture!

The last day to send in your picture is Monday, June 14th. The fun part is that I am going to try to show all of the pictures sent to me (including yours!), as a post here on my website!!

I think it will be a lot of fun for us all to see different dolls doing different Summer things! Be creative with your picture and Have FUN!

American Girl Amelia's Notebook Find!

As you all know I love books, I am always on the lookout for new book series to read at my library! A few years ago I found a really cool book series called, Amelia's Notebook. The books are written in notebook form by a fictional character named Amelia. She writes about all kinds of things, from school to her older sister Cleo. The books used to be published by American Girl, but now they are published by another book company.

Amelia's Notebooks are written by Marissa Moss, and are filled with drawings and the words even look like real hand-writing!

I really liked the notebooks when I was younger and still like them now! So, when I was at an Anique Mall with my grandparents I was VERY suprised when I found (and bought)...

...An Amelia Carrying Case with lots of Amelia things inside!

The case is really big and has a handle so you can carry it places. :)

When you open up the carrying case it holds an Amelia doll! I was pretty excited when I opened it up at the Anique Mall. :)

Isn't Amelia cute? I think she is! She is about 10 inches and has medal wires in her hands and feet, so she is poseable! She is pretty small compared to my American Girl dolls.

Kit looks like a giant! hehe :)

In the carrying case right next to where the Amelia doll is, there is another comparment that has other Amelia items in it!

The other Amelia items included in the case were Markers, Stickers, My Notebook (a notebook that you can write in, with Amelia's help!), and a Friendship Frame. The "My Notebook" book is from 1997! The Carrying Case and other Amelia items were made by American Girl too!

This is what the pages look like in the "My Notebook". It looks like so much fun! :)

Here is the Friendship Frame! You can replace the pictures of Amelia and her friend Nadia, with a picture of you and your friend! :)

I thought all of this was so cool I had to share it with you all! Have you ever heard of the Amelia Notebooks? Have you read any of them? I would love to know! :)
