Happy New Years Eve! 2016 is almost here and that means we have to say goodbye to Grace as the Girl of the Year. I'm so glad that she could join our doll family! Here are some of my favorite pictures I've taken of her...
We love you Grace and will always remember your sweet story and tres chic fashion!
I'm super excited for the next Girl of the Year Lea Clark and I can't wait to see all that American Girl does in 2016, I just know it will be awesome!
Happy New Year!!!

2015 was an amazing year for American Girl Fan! We added a new doll to the family, had four photo contests, lots of crafty fun, tons of giveaways & reviews with sponsors, and I've formed so many new friendships with all of you. I feel like this year I was able to learn even more about photography and grow in my creativity, which is awesome!
This week I was looking back at all that 2015 held and thought it would be cool to share my Top 10 favorite posts I wrote. Let's get to it! :)
Vintage Inspired Half-Up Style. I was inspired to do many old-fashion type of hairstyles this year and I loved doing this one on Rebecca!
Maryellen's Collection At The American Girl Store. In the Summer I took a trip to the Columbus store and was able to see Maryellen's beautiful collection up close.
How To Make An Infinity Scarf. This craft has definitely gotten the most use this year. My doll's wear their infinity scarves all the time, I need to make new ones!
American Girl Doll Bookmark Craft. Mixing my love for reading and American Girl, this was a super fun craft!!
How To Make Grace's Flower Bouquet. Making a replica of Grace's bouquet from her accessory set was a great challenge and turned out better than I had expected!
Bun With Flower Crown Hairstyle. I absolutely loved incorporating flowers into my projects during Spring/Summer and Elizabeth looked gorgeous with this hairstyle!
Grace Girl of the Year 2015 Doll Review. In August, Grace joined our doll family!
How To Make Butterfly Cookies. Decorating these was a lot of fun!
Photography Tip: Use Scrapbook Paper As Backdrops. Scrapbook paper really gave a new look to my photos, you should try it out sometime. :)
The Queen's Treasures 1930s Stove Review. Loved reviewing this stove, it is such a well made piece of furniture that I can't wait to use more!
Out of all the writings and pictures I've done this year, it was SO hard to choose just 10!! Here are a few of my honorable mentions: Headband Tuck Bun, Embroidered Leather Bracelet, and and How To Make Macarons.
I want to thank you all for a great year too, because I wouldn't be writing here today without YOU!! I hope you have a blessed 2016!
Do you and your dolls have any plans to celebrate the New Year?
