Shout-Out Your Doll Site...With Cute Costumes!

~One of my favorite things to do when I'm not working on my own website, is to look at other doll blogs and websites! I love seeing what others are doing with their doll(s)! So, have you done anything fun on your doll site? Share it with us! Shout out your doll site by leaving a link below of the name and URL address.~ 

Happy Halloween! Or, Dolloween in the American Girl world! I wanted to share a couple of my favorite doll costumes I've made. First, here's Kenley as a sweet kitty. The cat ears are pipecleaners, the nose is construction paper, and the whiskers are made from clear tape colored with a marker (I made sure it dried all the way!).

I loved dressing up Saige as a fairy! The wings are so pretty and easy to make. You can see my craft tutorial, here.

Kit the clown waves hello...she sure looks silly! The hat I made from felt and I have a tutorial of it too, which you can see here. :)

The pink and white polka-dotted tulle I found totally reminded me of Minnie Mouse! I used my no-sew tutu craft from this earlier year and I love it. The ears are construction paper and a pipecleaner is the headband which I bobby-pinned in place. I love easy costumes! :) Are you dressing up as anything?

Now that I've shared, it's time for you to...

From A Friend Friday: October 30th!

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a fun week, it sure seems like these dolls have! We had some very creative pictures sent in. Let's take a look...

From GroovyDolls--Caroline dressed up as Rapunzel.

From Lois--I found a witch hat at Walmart that was for a dog's costume. With a little adjustment and some extras, I was able to make a costume for my granddaughter's doll. It was so much fun to make and my granddaughter loves it!

From KitKat--Chrissa and Gwen baking up some delicious treats!

Ivy: I think it's delicious.
Julie: No, silly, I mean Meatloaf the dog (the dog I'm holding!!)
Ivy: Oh, he's so cute! Let's race to see who gets the most candy!
Julie: Ok, but...
Ivy: Ready, Set, Go! *runs down the street*
Julie: Wait!I can't race in high heels! ~Molly

Julie: That was so much fun! 
Ivy: I know, right? *looks into candy bag* I got SO much candy! How about you- wait, where's your candy, Julie?
Julie: Duh, where do you think it is? In my bag- *looks into bag. All the candy is gone* 
Meatloaf: This candy...mmmm, so good! mmmm-
Julie: MEATLOAF!!!? This was Trick-or-Treat, not Lick-and-Eat! That was MINE! ~Dollbaker24

Julie: *Sigh* Meatloaf, why did you have to follow us? Ivy, can you bring him home?
Ivy: Sure, just give him to me.
Meatloaf: Grrr.
Julie: Meatloaf! How dare you be so rude to Ivy! What can't you like about a little Minnie Mouse?
Ivy: Oh yeah, I've got cat smell on me. ~CutePolarBear

Ivy: Julie, what are you doing? Meatloaf can't come with us. He'll ruin everything! Remember what happened last year when he licked the candy, ran away, and-
Julie: Excuse me, yes he can come! You see, I'm Cinderella and he's pup-charming. If Meatloaf doesn't come, my look won't be complete! He won't get into to any trouble! Please, please please please?
Meatloaf: Yes, please please please please!
Ivy: *sighs* Alright, he can come-
Julie: YAY! Isn't that great Meatloaf?
Meatloaf: Yes, whatever. Now, If I can just reach that candy bag.... ~American Girl Doll Crafter

Julie: Wow! We sure did get a lot of candy!
Ivy: Yeah that was the best trick or treating ever! We got enough candy to last us through the new year!
Julie: Wait, Where did all the candy go?
Ivy: Wait what?! 
Julie: Did Meatloaf eat it?
*Meatloaf licks his lips*
Ivy: Meatloaf! ~Agandnature

Have fun!
