Reader Submission and a Tag!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I've had a lot of computer issues, but I'm working on them;)


Maria, one of AGA's readers and owner of one of my favorite blogs, My Simple Sweet Dollhouses, sent me some ADORABLE pictures of toddler Anna and Elsa! Here they are:

 This one's my favorite;)

 Thanks Maria! These pictures are so sweet!

Speaking of sweet, Maria also tagged me in the Beachy Blogger Award! Thank you!

What is your favorite hobby? This is so hard! I do ballet, violin, piano, orchestra, ice skating, theater, swim, photography, writing, and movie making. I think its a dead tie;D
(Be honest) Do you like getting gifts or receiving them? Honestly, giving gifts. i love watching people's faces light up when you give them a sweet gift. But don't get me wrong, i like being on the other end too;)
What is your favorite beach activities? Exploring! I want to be a marine biologist when I get older, so I love sticking on my goggles and looking at the fish underwater. And I lovelovelove taking pictures at the beach!
What is your opinion on AG's prices? Steep. But for the most part fair. Give or take a few items, you really get what you pay for with AG. Their products are really good quality, and with about 75% of their products, I'd be happy to pay the price.
Dog or cat person? Both! I love playing with dogs and snuggling with kittens:)
What is your favorite movie? Ugh these questions are hard!;) I have a bunch (in no order): Frozen, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Brave, Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Divergent, The Fault in our Stars, Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, every AG movie (especially Felicity, Molly, and Saige) and Barbie Princess and the PauperXD
What is your least favorite movie? The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Which bites because The Mortal Instruments is high up there on my favorite book series list, and Kevin Zegers made such a good Alec, but they really messed up the book:(
Favorite doll line? AG! I may be a little biased;)
Spring or Fall? Both! I love them for different reasons. I love spring because where I live, we have excruciatingly long winters, and spring means sun again;) But I love fall because my birthday's in fall, and the first day of school. Plus I love fall weather, when it's breezy and sunny, so you can put a jacket on and bike ride while being attacked by leaves;) So I guess fall!:D

Thank you so much Maria! This was so much fun and your pictures are so cute!

Have a great day!

Disney Frozen Magi Clip Anna Doll

Hello everyone! 

Yesterday, my family and I went grocery and birthday present shopping at Target. I was disappointed at the amount of Frozen things they had. While I was explaining this dilemma to my dad, I said, "They don't even have Frozen dolls this size!" I picked up what I thought was a random box, but it was Anna! My mom bought her for me. Thanks Mommy!

 Here's the front of her box. She is a Magi Clip doll.

 Anna and Elsa are on the front. Anna looks a little cross-eyed, doesn't she?

 Here's the back.

 Here you can see how you dress/undress a Magi Clip doll.

 I searched the entire store for Elsa, but I could not find her at all. Oh well, I love Anna just as much as Elsa!

 The background shows a pretty picture of Arendelle.

 Her packaging is that of a normal doll her size.

 Out of the box, she comes with her dress, a cape, a necklace, a vanity, a snow globe, and a girl-sized ring.

 The ring is sparkly pink plastic and has a rose embossed on the front.

 I could not get a good picture of the snow globe if my life depended on it. Basically, it's a plastic sphere with a sticker scene of a castle inside sitting on a pink base.

 The vanity is quarter circle shaped with a blue drawer that opens, a mirror, and molded lines to look like wood. There is a lot of detail in this little thing, and I love it!

 The drawer can actually open.

 The back.

 Here's Anna!

 Her cape is hot pink flexible plastic and removable.

 I love the amount of detail!

 Anna came with a little gold necklace, which was a nice surprise I was not expecting!

 To remove her dress, you just pinch the bottom and pull Anna out. To put it back on, you pinch the bottom and slip her in.

 Her dress is hard plastic. Again, this dress has incredible detail. The only defects are a little black smudge under the bodice, a small black fleck on the bottom of the skirt, and a few black spots inside the dress. Anna also has a very tiny bit of black under her chin. All are very unnoticeable.

 The back is not painted.

 Here's Anna! She has 5 points of articulation: her arms, legs, and neck.

 Her crown is molded in her hair and she has a painted blond streak. The back is done in a very intricate design.

 Her high heels are painted on.

 Everything the set comes with.

I also decided to compare Anna to a generic Polly Pocket. The Polly Pocket, named Linda, will stay on the left, and Anna will be on the right.

Here I stand...

Linda can't stand up, but Anna can/

Ha, now here I stand!
Me too...

 Anna's magi Clip dress doesn't fit Linda very well. And Linda's outfit looks big and frumpy on Anna.

Let us go… let us go!

 Anna wanted to go play in her sister's snow, so we grabbed our "capes" and headed outside.

The snow glows white in the backyard tonight...

Look! I made a snow angel!

Elsaaaa! Tell the guards to open up the gaaaaaaaate!

Do you wanna build a snowman?

I wanna shove some chocolate in my faaaaaaaace!

 Then we came inside for a snack.

I think I shoved too much chocolate in my face...

 Overall, this set has a ton of detail for something so small. Anna herself is gorgeous, and pretty movie accurate. Being the only Frozen thing I've been able to find, I totally recommend the Magi Clip characters. They are so cute!

Have a great day!

Frozen's Anna Dress for Dolls

For the first time in forever, I actually sewed something pretty cute!

 Is anyone else OBSESSED with Frozen? I certainly am! I sing Let It Go 24/7, and I made Anna's dress for my dolls!

Here it is! All I did was make a tee shirt from a simple pattern, cut off the sleeves, and used ribbon, beads, and a rosette to decorate. Then I attached a long skirt, added a ribbon belt, and, ta da! An Anna dress for dolls!

 Here's the shirt.

The back it crude-looking, but I'm still learning;)

Stay tuned for Elsa's dress!

An Interview with Anna

Anna is my 3-year-old cousin and the cutest thing ever! I'm interviewing her today and my other cousin Ella tomorrow. I wrote in Anna's exact words.

American Girl and other Awesomeness:What doll do you have?
Anna: I have Rosie the Bitty Bitty (Bitty Baby).

AGA:Why did you name her Rosie?
A: 'Cause I wanted to.

AGA: What do you and Rosie like to do?
A: Her like to train to dance. I like to feed her beans too.

AGA: Is there anything else you want to say?
A: I like to feed her green beans. I like to have Christmas with her!

Thanks Anna!
