American Girl of the Year Lanie's Backyard Photo Contest!

In the latest issue of American Girl, the January/February issue, there is an advertisement about the Girl of the Year 2010 contest, Lanie's Backyard Photo Contest!

   

The point of the contest is to take a picture of five different nature items in your backyard, of the ones they listed. Some of the items they listed were a bird, spider or spiderweb, and a seed or pinecone. There are also items that they list for specific areas of where you live, like by the beach or if you live where it snows. Along with your pictures, you have to write an answer to the question: "I am inspired by nature when...". Five Grand-Prize winners will recieve a Lanie Doll Collection!! It said that you can find more details and upload your pictures at the Girl of the Year page on AmericanGirl.com, but the page for Lanie isn't there yet.

 

In the American Girl Magazine they also showed the picture of Lanie on her book cover and her books.

They had on the page about the contest, another thing that caught my attention! They said that four unique sets of Nature t-shirts for girls and dolls will be for sale! American Girl is also partnering with the National Wildlife Federation, and promoting the Be Out There movement! Those shirts look really neat! :)

I am so excited about Lanie!! I am too old to enter the contest, but maybe my sister will enter!

Are you planning on entering Lanie's Backyard Photo Contest? :)

 

Merry Christmas from my Dolls to Yours!

My American Girl Dolls and I wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas! 

 

Today is such a wonderful day Celebrating Jesus' birth, being with friends and family, and of course opening gifts! I got some wonderful gifts, including a New Camera! I took this picture with it! Addy got a new dress too, which is pictured! I will show pictures of some of my other gifts soon!

Here I am with two of my American Girl dolls Abbey and Addy, when I was outside taking pictures of them for my Lighted Christmas Walk Festival photostory! It was a really neat experience taking pictures of my dolls outside in the dark! My dad was outside with me too shining a flashlight at my dolls for the moonlight. I thought it turned out great! :)
