Ways to Freshen Up Your American Girl Doll's Wardrobe

I love to buy new American Girl Outfits, but I can't get them all the time. So, I try my best to give my dolls new looks-without spending much money. Here are my tips! :) 

 

1) Get Decorating! If you own a plain doll shirt, you can decorate them! My favorite way to decorate is using stickers! By using stickers, I can change the design on my doll's shirt all the time! :)

 

2) Doll Jewelry! Jewelry can really change a doll's outift! People-sized anklets and bracelets make great doll necklaces! I also love to make my own doll jewelry!

 

3) Mix-n-Match! With just a few pieces of clothing, I can make several different looks on my dolls! You can create lots of different outfits using what you own! To show how I mix-n-match, I tried my best to create 6 different outfits using only 7 pieces of clothing and a pair of shoes. Here are my results...

  

There are endless possibilities when it comes to Mix-n-matching! :D

 

I hope these ideas help you create some new looks for your doll! Do you have any other ideas on how we can give our American Girl dolls a new look? What kinds of things do you do to freshen up your doll's wardrobe? :)

Dreaming of the Winter Olympics...

It was a normal weekday, and Mia and Abbey were in the living room watching the television when Addy walked by.

 

"Hi Mia and Abbey! What are you watching?" Addy asked curiously. She pulled up a chair as Mia answered.

 

"We're watching the Winter Olympics," Mia replied excitedly, "It only comes every 4 years! This year it's in Vancouver, Canada!"

"We are watching the Figure Skating couples, right now!" Abbey said, joining the conversation.

"Ooh!"Addy said as she looked at the TV.

 

After a short silence of watching this couple perform, Mia started talking.

 

"Oh, I just can't wait until I can be a professional Figure Skater at the Winter Olympics! The ice, the dresses, the crowd screaming my name..." Suddenly Mia was lost in her daydream.

*********************

"Now, may I introduce our next performer. Mia St. Clair!" the announcer says...

...The crowd claps in excitement...

 

...and some are even holding signs...

 

...Mia St. Clair gently glides upon the fresh ice, all eyes on her...

 

 ...She does a Triple Axel Jump, and sticks the landing...

 

...After her Ice Skating routine is over, she takes a bow!...

 

...All of her fans throw beautiful flowers to her...

 

...the remaining skaters do their routines and then the results are in! First place goes to Mia St. Clair!!! The crowd cheers...

 

...Mia gets on upon the Olympic Podium to claim the Gold as the United States National Anthem plays! Canada gets the silver and Russia gets the Bronze...

...The crowd cheers her name! Mia! Mia! Mia! Suddenly the daydream starts to fade away...

*********************

 

"Mia? Mia? Mia?" Abbey said while gently shaking Mia's shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Addy asked sweetly.

Mia blinked and looked into the kind faces of her friends.

 

"Oops, sorry," Mia said and giggled,"I was just...having a daydream."

A Winter Walk...

This weekend we got some snow, and it's still snowing! It is so beautiful, that I did a photo-shoot with my doll Elizabeth! Here are some of my favorite pictures of her that I took...

 

She is so pretty!

 

She looks at the beautiful snow, and off she goes...

 

She looks like she is quickly walking! I love her shadow!

 

"Are you talking about me?" Elizabeth says.

 

"Oh, your talking about my shadow."

 

Can you find Elizabeth among all the snow?

 

There she is, she's waving good-bye! :)

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!

Happy Superbowl!

 

Happy SuperBowl!! My doll Mia is totally ready to watch some Football! She really loves all sports. ;)

Also, I wanted to apologize for not posting very much lately. Sometimes, when I'm not writing a new post, I am actually planning a post by taking pictures and thinking of stories in my head! I have some very fun things coming up, so stay tuned! :)

Have a Great Superbowl Sunday! Go Saints! hehe :)

 

How Do You Pick a New Doll?

 

Lately, I have been thinking about the American Girl dolls I have. I am so happy to have all 6 of my dolls, and I am very content with the dolls I have! I feel like I have enough dolls right now, but I do have enough money for a new doll. It is so hard to pick an American Girl doll, though! There are so many to pick from!! When I pick a new doll I usually pick her because of how cute she is, or if I like her character. :)

So, I was wondering how do you pick an American Girl Doll you want? Is it the way she looks, her story, or just to collect? I would love to hear the American Girl dolls that you want too! If you don't have any American Girl dolls yet, I would love to hear which ones you are thinking of getting! I always love to hear what you have to say! :)
