I Heart American Girl Entry

Meet Maggie Marx. She's eleven years old as sweet as can be. She lives in a small town called Bellingham in Arizona. She's always wanted to do something to make a difference but never really got around to carrying out her plans to save the rain forest or raise money for earthquake victims. Then, her best friend and sister Sarah is diagnosed with leukemia and has to go to Phoenix, which is almost two hours away, once a month for days at a time for treatment. Maggie decides it's time to put one of her helping plans to action. With her faithful golden doodle, Maxie by her side, Maggie comes up with the idea to host a square dance in her family's old barn, charging five dollars for a night of dancing and music, but when only her family and a few very close friends show up, will Sarah be able to teach Maggie an important lesson about how sometimes it's not about how big your project is, but that you want to help

at all?

So I've Been Doing Some Detective Work . . . .

Title kinda explains what this post is about. So, I got the new AG catalogue in the mail today. While looking at the special edition mini dolls, I noticed something: There's going to be a new one released every month for a year. There's twelve months in a year, right? There have only been ten historical characters! (Not including best friends, if you did, there would be fifteen) What does this mean? You may ask. Here's what I think: AG is releasing two new historicals! Wouldn't that be so cool! I can't think of any other reasonable explination, if you can, comment and say it.

Oh, also a really cool blog called I Heart American girl (this website) is having a contest to design a GOTY (girl of the year) doll. It's mostly just for fun, but she's giving prizes to the first, second and third place winners! I'm going to enter later this week, when I do I'll post it. Please visit her website and consider entering her contest!

Last but not least, thank you American Girl Dolls Rock for following my blog! I so agree with your name!

Hasta La Vista!

Happy 2011!

Happy 2011 everyone! I'm so excited for this upcoming year! Kanani is on AG's website, and she is pretty. I don't think I'm going to get her, though. What about you? Are you planning on getting her? Anyway, I was thrilled to see that every single historical time period got a new outfit! Here are my favorites:

Isn't this adorable? I'm so happy because this is the first time in years that AG released something new for Molly that I like! I wasn't a big fan of the sweater set they released two years ago, and I don't think there's been anything since. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Rebecca looks amazing in white, doesn't she? The shoes are really cute, and I love the bow! The lace is so pretty.

I think this dress is pretty, but I don't think it's good for Kit. I think it looks too expensive, too. Would be much better for Ruthie.

There was also a new dress-up outfit and new PJ's on the website:

This is really pretty, but she looks alot like a bride, don't you agree? I guess it would be good if she were a bridesmaid or flower girl. I love the purple accents, it gives the outfit personality.

I think these are pretty cute. The boots are the best part. The ties on the shorts look kinda weird, but if you loosed them I think they'd be cool. The shirt is adorable, too.

Well, that's about it. I hope everyone has a fantastic year!

PS Thanks to my new follower, Leah!

PPS A couple of months ago (before I started this blog) I wrote to AG complaining that they were retiring dolls and not coming out with new ones, and they said they were planning on releasing new historical characters fairly soon when they wrote back to me, so this year could be promising in that category!
