AmericanGirlFan Valentine Card Exchange 2012!

I can't believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I love sharing Valentines with friends, so I'm having my 2nd Annual Valentine's Day Card Exchange!!

Here's how it works...

-If you send me a Valentine Card, I will send you one back! I've made exclusive Valentine's Day cards with our dolls on them to send out.  {Edit: Oops a typo! The cards actually have two of Hope's dolls on them. We have our dolls together so much, I said they were mine. haha} You can send any kind of Valentine card (bought or handmade) to my P.O. Box Mailing Address...

AmericanGirlFan   P.O. Box 353   Walton, KY 41094

Make sure to get your Parent's Permission before sending a card. Also, please remember to put your return address on your envelope so I will know where to send a card to you. I will send out Valentines for all of February.

Also, for the ones that cannot send a Valentine card, don't worry! There will be some other fun posts (and something else very special) coming up soon!

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I can't wait to send out Valentine's Day Cards, and get yours too! I hope you all have fun! :)

From a Friend: How to Make an AG Timeline!

One of my favorite things about American Girl is the Historical dolls and their History! So, I just loved this craft project Linda sent me on how to make an American Girl Timeline. I thought it would be fun if she shared it with you too...

Hello! Here's my AG Craft project on how to make an American Girl History Time Line.

-There are AG historical doll stickers at Archiver's and Michael's Craft stores. They come in a packet of 2 pages for each doll, about 5 doll stickers per page. Current price $5. They do not include the two 2011 dolls.

-Then, I took a 52 X 14 inch piece of paper and used a ruler to draw a line down the center. I marked off 50 year segments and noted each 10 year period with the date. Two inches equals 10 years. I started with Kaya in 1760. Then my granddaughters and I put the stickers of the dolls in the right years above the line.

-I had printed up miniature photos of family members and we added their photos below the line, along with their names, birthdate and in most cases, when they came to America. I also had baby pictures of my children and the grandchildren and we added them at the right years. Then came a photo glued in the 1970's of the granddaughter with her Julie doll. We added my doll from the 1950's along with photos of myself and my husband in his cowboy outfit. Lastly, we added Harriet Tubman on whom my granddaughter had just done a biography report.

I love this idea, and how it's an American Girl timeline and family tree in one! And, it looks like a lot fun! Thank you so much for sharing this craft with us Linda! :)
