A New Friend

Today, I was at my church's birthday party.There was a rummage sale and look who I found:

Meet Lily, a 16" Madame Alexander!

I couldn't believe it! I paid an amazing 2$ and went back to doing the Face Painting and Wagon Parade.
When I got home I took pictures.

Without her bonnet.

Her beautiful green eyes.

Her waterfall of red hair.

And time to sleep. She has sleep eyes.

I did not think I would be getting a new doll today. Lily is six, her birthday is June 21, and her favorite color is aqua.

American Girl Hunger Games

Has anyone read or seen The Hunger Games? My two friends, Bailey and Cathleen, and I did, so we made this video.

The song in the backround is Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift. It is an official Hunger Games song. The story is:
Taylor is walking through the woods, trying to find her sister, Sarah, by her old village after a huge war. She finds Sarah's necklace, and soon, Sarah.

Taylor is played by Rosalina, Bailey's JLY, and Sarah is played by Bailey's Lanie. The dresses they are wearing are mine, and we were shooting in my backyard. I positioned the dolls and Bailey helped me. Cathleen took the pictures with my iPod. Bailey also helped think of picture ideas. I edited it on iMovie. We had so much fun!

I hope you like it! We had an awesome time making it! There may be more soon...

My Trip to AG Place Boston

A couple of weeks ago, I went to AG Place Boston! These are the pictures.

You may remember this chunker from my Meatloaf post.

Licorice! 

I LOVE this outfit! It is sooooo cute!

Molly's collection

I LOVE Nutmeg! But my mom doesn't believe in AG pets, so no Nutmeg.

I love Becca's Movie Dress! I got other things, though.

Ruthie's "twin"!

Molly

The American Girls: Josefina, Marie-Grace, Rebecca, Molly, Kaya, Cecile, Addy, Kit,  and Julie.

Molly and Emily. I got Emily's PJ's, but can't open them till my birthday.

The mini dolls. Felicity came home!

Kits Birthday Dress. I almost got it.

The Butterfly Twist outfit. Not worth $30, but kinda cute...

The Spooky Fun outfit! I gotta get this!

Honey!

The birthday setup. 

So cute! Bitty penguins!

McKenna's PJ's. Cute, but not much quality.

Cooper. Again cute, but not worth $24. 

I love McKenna's Loft Bed! I asked my mom, and it was a flat-out NO. I saw that coming.

I'm not a fan of McKenna. She's Chrissa with a makeover.

Oh, why can't you buy this without her Starter Collection? Sigh...

DO NOT BUY THE RAIN BOOTS!! They are cheap and not worth $32. I bought the School outfit, but I can't open it till my birthday.

A close up of McKenna. Don't get me wrong, she's pretty, but unoriginal.

Julie

Kaya

Emily's Holiday Dress

I had so much fun! I went before Caroline was there. Keep in mind that these are my own opinions and it's ok if you have different ones.

                                                                                                               Nina:)

Introducing Caroline Abbott!

It's official! Caroline Abbott and her collection are in the AG stores and website! I saw everything online and downloaded the new free Caroline app, Port to Port. She is gorgeous and on my Christmas list along with her canopy bed. There's also new stuff for MAGs Bitty Baby, and Bitty Twins.

What's your favorite new thing? Mine's the canopy bed and Caroline, but the bed's not shown.
