A Crazy Hodgepodge of Scoop and Reviews

 Hello everyone! So, there is a quite a bit of scoop floating around the doll world right now, so I'm going to tell you my thoughts.

NOTE: These pictures belong to agoverseasfan, NOT ME. They are NOT my pictures. Thanks!
 YEP! AG is bringing back Samantha! I'm so excited!

 Here's what new Samantha is supposedly going to look like. The clothes she's wearing are NOT hers and have nothing do do with her. Apparently, she's going to have feathered eyebrows instead of her former line eyebrows.

Honestly, I don't really know how I feel about this "HC revamp". The line, while in need of some attention, is fine as it is.

Also, there have been rumors of the Best Friend dolls retiring. I really hope this is not true. That means saying goodbye to Ivy, Ruthie, and either both or one of Cecile and Marie Grace.

The trademark "Be Forever" has been floating around on AG's Trademarkia, so it may have something to do with the new HC line. They also trademarked "Timeless stories. Inspiring characters. Endless possibilities." That obviously will coincide with the revamp.

I'm just going to wait and see how this all plays out. This could be amazing, like the MyAG revamp in 2010, or a complete failure like the Bitty's.

NOTE: These pictures are from various IG accounts. They are NOT mine. Thanks!

But there's a little more scoop floating around Dollstagram:
 This. In my opinion, she's gorgeous. Everyone, including I, think that she is a new HC to come along with Samantha in the fall. Judging from her dress, she'll be from the 50's or 60's.
 I LOVE her hair! This doll is absolutely adorable! I may want her, but I think I'm just about done getting dolls, but probably not!:D
 I don't like this dress. I mean, it's cute, but I don't know.

On AG Trademarkia, the names Grace and Emmy are trademarked. If her name is Grace, Marie-Grace, and Cecile, will probably go. I wouldn't be surprised; they haven't sold well since they came out. Emmy is the other name. I like it, but not my favorite.

What are your thoughts on this? Please comment down below!

On a different note, the AC Moore in my area was closing, so they had a big blowout sale. And I got some stuff for an amazing price!
 I got the letters A and G to paint and put in my dollhouse, a mini vanity for my mini dolls, some elastic (not shown), and Springfield ballet slippers.
 The vanity is wooden with a drawer and a mirror. It was $0.60.
 The drawer opens and offers plenty of storage.
 The letters were $0.30 each. I would've bought more, but I wanted to buy elastic that day.
 Here is my best deal and most exciting purchase- the Springfield ballet slippers! And for get this- $3.64!
 The back.
 The set comes with an SF Style Ckub code and the ballet slippers.
 The code from the front,
 and the back.
 Here are the shoes!
 When I untied them, there was an explosion of ribbon. The ribbon is a good 6 inches long on each shoe.
 They are made of synthetic silk.
 The sole is harder, so I think it has a layer of cardboard sewn into it.
To lace it up, you just criss-cross the ribbons twice across the doll's legs and tie in a bow. 

These slippers are great quality. I don't think I'd bury them at the full price of $5.99, but if you see them on sale, grab them! I give them a solid 9 out of 10.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this mush of random ideas. Please comment yours below!

Garage Sale Haul, Craft Store Visit, Doll Makeover, Review, but Mostly I'M BACK!!!

Woah, it feels like I haven't posted in forever! Well, I am OFFICIALLY on summer vacation, so I will have way more time for dolls and blogging! Soooooo...

Grandma and I went to the craft store on Tuesday, and I got some cool stuff!
 This make your own furniture set was $5.00 but with a coupon I paid $2.50!
 The furniture pieces came on sheets of balsa wood that you had to punch out and put together like a puzzle.
 Here is only some of the furniture after I put it together and painted it.
 I also got cow pencils, stickers, (I got AG stickers too but they're not in the picture), and PENGUIN DUCK TAPE!!! And I found an unused SF Style Club code on the ground!:D
 Isn't that cute?!?
 Plus, Springfield Uggs! Time for a Mini Review!

 It came with the boots and the code!
 They are soft, they have fur around the edge, and the soles are foam. They fit AGs, OG, and Springfield perfectly!

Now, I had some EPIC garage sale finds!
 At garage sale #1, I got A Moxie Girlz Avery! Her hair had been cut, and she had marker in her hair, but she's still pretty.
 She had marker on her face too.

 But, I cleaned her up! So, meet Aubry Alexis Saratoga! She's so pretty! The marker didn't come out, but I washed her hair. I got most of the marker off her face, too, except for a little bit. Welcome to the family, Aubry!
 Next, I got 3 CALICO CRITTERS BUILDINGS, 9 PETS, AND TONS OF FURNITURE FOR $5.00!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo grateful and sooooooooo lucky to find these! I have literally wanted Calico Critters since I was 2, and I FINALLY have my own!:D
 
Top Row: Sarah, Myra, Mara
                                                          Middle Row: Logan, Maggie, Layla, Megan
                                                          Bottom Row: Andrew, Marrissa
 Here's the furniture: Master bed and bedding, high chair, day bed, slide (missing support), random drawer...
 ... kitchen counter, oven, two chairs, little nightstand, random handle, kid's bed and bedding, mold/pan...
 ... and a desk.
 Two of the buildings are identical.This is the inside.
 The other building is a big cabin.
 It has two floors and a little bulletin board.

But my next find was the most amazing...
 AN AMERICAN GIRL BITTY TWIN RETIRED DOUBLE STROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!!
 I can not begin to explain how grateful and fortunate I am to find this! It is awesome!
 This is what told me it was AG! There's a funny story about this thing; I rode my bike to this garage sale, and I saw this and internally screamed. I was afraid to bring it home. I kept thinking, What will Mommy say? I didn't really play with baby dolls any more (except for my precious Mike and Maggie). Plus, I had ridden my bike, so it would be hard to get home. But I couldn't leave it there, so I lugged it and my bike home. It took a half an hour for a usually 10 minute trip, but it was worth it. And my mom let me keep it despite the fact that it takes up a lot of room. Nevertheless, I love it:)
Here's the AG tag to prove it!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not think I'm bragging, I'm just super excited. And please don't think I'm spoiled either, because I bought the garage sale stuff with my own money and I owe my mom a week of chores for the craft stuff;)

Now that I'm off till September, I have TONS of posts planned, including:

  1. 2 crafts, so you might want to find an old pair of pants to cut up (hint hint;))
  2. There's been lot's of AG scoop going around :O, so I'll give you my thoughts.
  3. What's going on with Nina the Shark Productions!
  4. Mini movie, an AGA EXCLUSIVE for blog readers ONLY:O:O:O
  5. A SPECIAL summer surprise!
So get ready, 'cause AGA is BACK!!!!!

Detective Game!

Here is the rest of the story!

"I know!" said Felicity. "It was ADDY!"
The girls went and confronted Addy.
"Oh my gosh! I didn't know it was Ruthie's!" Addy exclaimed. "I'm sorry! Here," she said, handing it back.
Just then, Lanie ran in, crying.
"Someone ripped my photosynthesis report!"
"Do you have any clues?" asked Lizzie. ( I call Elizabeth Lizzie sometimes, and Felicity Lissie.)
"Yes," said Lanie.

   1. Flats
   2. Blue Eyes
   3. Bracelet
Who ripped Lanie's report?

Congrats to Dollygirl for guessing Addy! Please take your award! And please guess in the new one!

 This is something I made (please don't take it):

And here's the new caption that doll picture! What's Felicity saying (or thinking)?

Interesting AG facts!

Enjoy!

Really Long Speech!

Wow. Just wow. I really can't believe it. We have come so far. I was afraid that my blog wouldn't be read, or I would do something wrong and no one on the AG blogosphere would like me. But, 9,243 page views,  298 comments, and 20 followers later, I know that I have readers. This blog has been a learning experience, has taught me more than school (XD), and has given me many great friends, Dollygirl, Maria, Maddie, Del, Jordy, and Angelique to name a few.Since I have started this blog, I have started a YouTube, won a giveaway, gotten tons of new dolls, learned so much, and made so many friends. And it's all because of you. My readers, my followers, my commenters, but most importantly, my friends. I cannot say thank you enough. You guys really don't know how many times you have made my day. Just last week, someone at school said something mean about me liking AG, but when I got home, I had a super nice comment on one of my posts. I smiled and my tears dried up immediately. I love you guys. But all I can do is say thank you. *Virtual Hug (          )* I'll see all of you guys later. You guys are awesome, or should I say, the Other Awesomeness! I love you guys!:)
