<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>-</strong></span><span style="color: #990000;"><strong>What is your favorite December Holiday decoration?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">Lights! My dad and I put some up on our front porch the weekend after Thanksgiving, and we put more on the tree last night.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>- Do you have your decorations up yet?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Some of them; the lights are up but we haven't put ornaments on the tree yet.</span><br />
<strong>- When do you start listening to Xmas carols and setting up?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">The day after Thanksgiving.</span><br />
<strong>- When did you get your tree (if you have one..)?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">The day after Thanksgiving (It's a family tradition!) :)</span><br />
<strong>- How do you celebrate BEFORE Christmas?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">We go to the candle light service at my church (which is tonight!) and listen to Christmas songs.</span><br />
<strong>- Do you have any advent calendars?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Yes, five!</span><br />
<strong>- What do your dolls do to celebrate?</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">They like to stand in holiday scenes, and ussually the drama club does something (*hint, hint* ;) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #990000;">Also, I entered the Holiday photo contest at <a href="http://www.ourdolls.net/">Our Dolls</a>! Please vote for me, I'm the non-adult Katie!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Thanks for looking!!!! :)</span></span><br />

I just realized </span><a href="http://www.americangirlplayground.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Priya</span></a><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> tagged me a couple of days ago! The tag looked really fun, so here goes!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. What’s your favorite holiday food?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">Hmmmm, I'm going to have to go with my Grandma's sugar cookies. There're really yummy and we decorate them with colored sugar or cinnamon sugar (depending on what color we want) My mom and I made some last weekend and we finished them already! She said maybe we can make some next weekend. :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">2. Eggnog or hot cocoa?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">Hot cocoa, especially Ghirrideli (forgive the terrible spelling). There's nothing like playing outside in the snow and then coming in to a warm cup of hot chocolate. :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. Have you ever eaten a non-dessert dish shaped as a holiday symbol (Christmas tree, menorah, etc.)?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">Yes! I ate Christmas tree and Snowman shaped bagels once. They were really yummy! :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">4. Do you know what a latke is? If so, have you ever eaten one?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">I do know what a latke is, but I always pronounce it wrong and then my Jewish friends laugh at me, lol :). I have eaten many latkes and they are very yummy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">5. What is the first food-and-holiday-related word that comes to your mind?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">Milk and cookies :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">6. What is your favorite holiday food to cook with your family/friends?</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">My Grandma's sugar cookies. They're the kind you use cookie cutters for, and I love, love, LOVE cutting them out. :) I may be a teenager but I'm a four-year-old at heart :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times;">I tag Emma S., Emma Wright, Hannah Wright, and anybody who got hungry while reading this!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Times;">ONLY 14 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! :D :D :D (Like I said, 4-year-old at heart)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Times;">Bye! Thanks for reading!</span><br />

It's only 15 days until Christmas! <br />
<br />
I thought I'd show everyone who didn't get to see it last year my <a href="http://americangirlworld.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-carol.html">doll play</a> that I did last year! I did 'A Christmas Carol'. I think I'm probably going to do another play this year, but it probably won't be quite as long and I may not have time to finish it before Christmas. (Stupid homework and tests!) <br />
<br />
Anyway, are your dolls getting ready for Christmas/Chunnakuh? What are they doing?<br />
<br />
I found some really cool crafts for the Holiday season:<br />
<br />
There are a bunch at <a href="http://www.ourdolls.net/">Our Dolls</a>. The links weren't working right, but all you have to do to find the crafts is click on Doll Holidays and Activities , then click on Current Holiday: Christmas. All of the craft look super fun and easy, but my favorites are the wreaths and the paper chains. :) There are also a bunch of cute photostories about Christmas time.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://dolldiaries.com/doll-craft-make-a-doll-sized-menorah/">Doll Menorah!</a> (Just for you, Priya!) This looks really cute and I would definately make one for my dolls if I celebrated Chunnakuh. This craft is from Karen at Doll Diaries.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

I just set up my doll displays for Christmas and thought I'd share! :) I'll probably recreate one of the scenes in a better place to take a picture for the <a href="http://www.ourdolls.net/">Our Dolls</a> Christmas photo contest.

XDWoah, long time no post! Sorry about that guys, but about a week ago a huge noreaster ripped through my state! The title's mostly a joke, but there was a fatal car accident only about a block from my house.<br />
:( :( :( :( <br />
<br />
Anyway, I was mostly letting you guys know I'm still alive. The power was out at my house from early Sunday morning to late Wednesday night. I had a snow day on Halloween :) And the next day too, because there wasn't any power at my school. Anyway, once we got back on Wednesday all of my teachers decided to load us with homework to try to make up for the lost days, hence the lack of posting. As soon as I get some time (maybe Wednesday, we'll see) I'm going to post a photo story I made AGES (well, two weeks) ago. It's for Halloween, so it's a little late, but I thought you guy'd like to see it anyway. :) <br />
<br />
Halloween was kinda funny for me because there was snow everywhere while I was trick-or-treating. :) But, since there were still wires down all over the place a lot of kids didn't go this year. :( I went as a pirate named Anne Bonny (real person!) and I carried a stuffed parrot that I named Clyde (get it, Bonny and Clyde?)! My dolls dressed up, too, you'll see their costumes in the photostory!<br />
<br />
Bye, guys! Thanks for reading!<br />

In preparation for my Blog-a-versary, I'm going to share some of the highlights of this past year. Today, to get started, I'm going to share the story of why I started my blog. <br />
<br />
Almost two years ago one of my friends, who I used to play American Girl dolls with, gave away most of her stuff. She was really the only person I still played with at this point, so I was really sad. So I was fiddling on the internet one day, and I googled 'American Girl Doll Lovers'. And whoa! I couldn't believe all of the results! The first one that caught my eye was <a href="http://www.americangirlfan.com/">American Girl Fan</a>. I saw the most recent post, which I think might've been the mini adventures of Kaya, I can't really remember, and I was instantly pulled in. I loved these things called photo stories, they were just so cool! Then from the links page on American Girl Fan, I found <a href="http://www.ourdolls.net/">Our Dolls</a>. I was amazed at the Gothard sisters' collection! I found a bunch of other blogs through comments on American Girl Fan.<br />
<br />
Then, about a year ago, my guinea pig, Cookie (short for Lord Cookiemonster of the Guinea Pig Dynasty) died. I was really sad. When I had him, my dad and I had cleaned his cage every Saturday, and it took between an hour and an hour and a half depending on how much Cookie ate that week (if you know what I mean) so I didn't want to be reminded of that every week, so I thought I'd find something else to do on saturdays . . . and American Girl World was born. Believe it or not, my mom came up with the name. :)<br />
<br />
Here's the first picture I ever took of an AG doll:<br />

I like the lighting in this one better, and I've learned that shadows exist in nature so it's okay to have them (hehe). I also think this picture is softer somehow. </div><div align="center">What do you think?</div><div align="center"><br />

(Part 2!)So I didn't think that any of the photos I got the other week were good for the <a href="http://www.ourdolls.net/">Our Dolls</a> photo contest, and today I just thought Molly would look really good for some reason, so I grabbed her and Kirsten and had another photo shoot! It was a blast, we all had a great time :) I took about fifty (exagerations) pictures, but almost twenty of them were trying to get this one pic, so I deleted all the failures already. <br />

<br />
1. In fifth grade I told a girl in my class I thought dolls were babyish because she had just teased another girl for still playing with dolls<br />
2. My brother and I used to throw my dolls (cheap ones, not AG dolls or Bitties) across the basement.<br />
3. My AG dolls have spent many a night in the bottom of a bin (Please don't turn me into the DPS!)<br />
4. Right before I started this blog I was considering putting all of my dolls in attic until I become a mom and could give them to my daughters<br />
5. I once named a doll Milk (I couldn't think of a good name and there were milk bottles on his overalls) but then changed his name to John Jacob Jingle Heighmer Schmit<br />
6. I once named a doll Bolbie<br />
7. I used to have a doll, Azalea, who cut school regularly to race go-karts with Bolbie and was a major tycoon<br />
8. I don't really like Cabbage Patch kids or Barbies. Don't really know why, but I though I'd throw that in<br />
<br />
So, as you can see, I've hade some dark moments of doll collecting. Hopefully none of this stuff ever happens again!<br />
<br />
On a completely unrelated note, my 100th post will be coming up (This is #88, I think) So maybe my 1st year blogger anniversary (Nov. 8th!) will be the same day. Wouldn't that be cool? :) Might have to have a contest or something to celebrate, thoughts, readers?<br />
<br />
Adios!<br />

I'm Chrissa and I'm gonna ramble!Hi readers! It's Chrissa Marie Maxwell, aka the most beautiful of Katie's dolls, not to mention the most clever and her favorite. Stop laughing, Kailey! It's true!!! Anyway, I think blogging is really cool and I've been BEGGING Katie to let me get one of my own. She's not sure I'd be able to handle it, so instead I can post on this blog until I've proved I'm responsible enough for a blog of my own. That shouldn't take long for someone as amazing as me! :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, I was on the AG website, and I was playing Julie's Punch Buggy game, and I got a score of 56!!! So I have a challenge for all of our readers: Beat that score!! Good luck guys, the first person who does gets:<br />
<br />
1. Bragging rights :)<br />
2. A blogger award<br />
<br />
I'm trusting you guys to tell the truth, I don't expect you to post a screen shot or anything because to cheat on something like this is seriously low.<br />
<br />
So, if you get a score higher than 56 comment about it!<br />
Also, if you think I should get my own blog, comment and say so! I'd love to hear your opinions!<br />
Thanks!!!<br />
<br />
~Chrissa~<br />

I'm not sure if autumn has officially started yet, but on friday it was freezing out, so if you ask me it is autumn. Plus I have a cold and it's really lame to get a cold in the summer, so, yeah. ;) Anyway, Autumn is my FAVORITE season because it's beautiful out and I like the crispness in the air. I also like the smell of autumn, if you live in a place with four true seasons you know what I mean and if you don't, sorry it's impossible to explain.<br />
<br />
To get to my point, <a href="http://www.ourdolls.net/">Our Dolls</a> is having an autumn photo contest, so I had a photo shoot today in hopes of getting a great picture! Here are the ones that I took:<br />

A plane hit each of the World Trade Centers, another hit the Pentagon, and another that was heading for the Capitol was brought down in a Pennsylvania field by its brave passengers. <br />
<br />
I am just barely old enough to remember the day it happened (I was 4). My mom and I were only a couple of miles from New York City when it happened. We could see the smoke from the World Trade Centers from our car. <br />
<br />
This post is to say thank you to the following people:<br />
<br />
The brave passangers on flight 93 that brought down the plane heading for the Capitol<br />
The innocent passangers on all the other flights<br />
The innocent people who were working in the Pentagon and World Trade Centers that were killed<br />
The brave people who managed to escape<br />
The first responders who risked, and in some cases lost, their lives to save others<br />
The fearless reporters who made sure we understood the severity of these attacks<br />
God, because it could've been worse.<br />
<br />
Thank you, heroes of 9/11. You will be remember forever by you family and friends, and by all Americans (and decent foreigners).<br />
<br />
God Bless America, Land that I Love<br />
Stand beside her, and guide her,<br />
through the night with a light from above.<br />
From the mountains, to the prairies,<br />
To the oceans, white with foam!<br />
God Bless America, My home sweet home!<br />
God Bless America, My home sweet home.<br />

I just wanted to let you know that I start high school tomorrow (gulp!) so my time for posting, pics, ect. will be limited. But, to make sure I don't completely forget to post at all, here are some things that I promise to do:<br />
<br />
1. Update something doll-related at least once a week. <br />
2. Post a photostory and a photoshoot by Thanksgiving.<br />
3. Do something for my blog-versary (just over a month away!!!!)<br />
<br />
Please try to be understanding, as I'm sure I'll have a lot of homework to do, plus I have volleyball practice every day. <br />
<br />
Thanks for being so awesome, guys!<br />
<br />

The first day of classes isn't until September 6, but on the first Monday of August we always come to see any changes made on the campus and get our schedules and room assignments.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is Kit and Emily's dorm. As you can see there are two beds, a night stand, and a rug.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Oh, BTW: Kit and Emily are wearing warm clothes because Pleasantview Academy is in upstate New York, and it's pretty cold there, even in August. Plus, for some reason the totally unneccesary air conditioning was on full blast)</div><br />

This post is important for alot of different reasons, so please read the whole thing. First of all: I sewed a doll dres for my state's state fair! Here are some pics of the dress and the process of making it:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4hVHhTdYjt4/TjGapwVhXKI/AAAAAAAAAsU/WEuWVmgsMMc/s1600/DSCN0128.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4hVHhTdYjt4/TjGapwVhXKI/AAAAAAAAAsU/WEuWVmgsMMc/s320/DSCN0128.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are all the pattern pieces! I printed it out at AG Playthings.com (A FANTASTIC website for collectors!) The only change I made to the pattern was I lengthened the skirt so the hem would be easier.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3PEwteE_OKU/TjGaub5qoFI/AAAAAAAAAsY/kjl58r8Hmos/s1600/DSCN0129.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3PEwteE_OKU/TjGaub5qoFI/AAAAAAAAAsY/kjl58r8Hmos/s320/DSCN0129.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Everything all pinned out on my family's dining room table. I did a muslin before doing the real thing to make sure the pattern fit right. (It did.)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h3gMzl_NsiI/TjGayJEV5vI/AAAAAAAAAsc/ZsK4dHhY3_s/s1600/DSCN0131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h3gMzl_NsiI/TjGayJEV5vI/AAAAAAAAAsc/ZsK4dHhY3_s/s320/DSCN0131.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Close-up of the skirt so you can see the marks for the growth strips (My FAVORITE part of the dress!)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nFDmcsb1Mj4/TjGa1s-M9FI/AAAAAAAAAsg/1JpFg9XNUhg/s1600/DSCN0132.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nFDmcsb1Mj4/TjGa1s-M9FI/AAAAAAAAAsg/1JpFg9XNUhg/s320/DSCN0132.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pieces cut out. (Forgive the poor light, it was late and the flash was being strange.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The muslin turned out great, so I started on the real thing!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZxZ7yDWq3zA/TjGbBPSRC8I/AAAAAAAAAss/0uAbVavmfuU/s1600/DSCN0158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZxZ7yDWq3zA/TjGbBPSRC8I/AAAAAAAAAss/0uAbVavmfuU/s320/DSCN0158.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bodice and one sleeve almost done.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And now, what you've all been waiting for . . . . .</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IoJ2owVZOOU/TjGbJGSXeAI/AAAAAAAAAs0/GZb7hLIoyEo/s1600/DSCN0161.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IoJ2owVZOOU/TjGbJGSXeAI/AAAAAAAAAs0/GZb7hLIoyEo/s320/DSCN0161.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The finished product! I made Kirsten's school dress using Civil War reproduction fabric that my sewing teachers got me in Lancaster (they're the best!). I love the stripes so much!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UdioFv7L_Ys/TjGbMt6EumI/AAAAAAAAAs4/LhyVx9RLfhE/s1600/DSCN0163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UdioFv7L_Ys/TjGbMt6EumI/AAAAAAAAAs4/LhyVx9RLfhE/s320/DSCN0163.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Very blurry close-up of the bodice and waistband.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Some other news: I have 25 followers! Thank you so much guys! Vote on my poll to decide how we're going to celebrate that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Still more news: I may be changing my doll collection a bit, getting rid of clothes I don't use much anymore and may possibly, <u><em>possibly</em></u> box up one or two of my dolls and put them in the attic to save for my daughter when I grow up. Don't worry, this is NOT the dreaded 'I've outgrown dolls' post, I'm just not using my dolls as much as I used to. I am completely OBSESSED with sewing doll clothes though, so this blog will be around for many years to come. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Even more News: I have a week of free time coming up, so if you have an idea for a post, let me know about and I'll do it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6fmcz5q3xVc/TgS1iF3BSUI/AAAAAAAAAqs/VrdVdFOGi00/s1600/Siggy+by+Priya.png" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I have been seriously been neglecting my blog lately, I'll admit it. Something fairly sudden and really sad happened in my family not long ago (this morning, actually) and because of it I might not be able to post much for awhile longer. I will try to do a 4th of July post tomorrow, I've had something planned for awhile and I was going to take the pictures today, but it is raining. I think it's a great idea for a post, so I'll modify it a bit and post it later if I can't do it tomorrow. Thanks for being understanding, guys.<br />

My family's new camera is really giving me fits, so I took pictures with our old one so I could upload them. The pics aren't as good as the ones the new camera takes, but I feel really bad about not posting pictures in a SERIOUSLY long time.<br />
<br />
Here are the promised pics of my doll display shelf and table!<br />

I've been doing some sewing lately, and I though you might like to see it:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5MgQiVSq9Rc/TgS3irGuOHI/AAAAAAAAArQ/5g-I-dNrNpI/s1600/P1010899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" i$="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5MgQiVSq9Rc/TgS3irGuOHI/AAAAAAAAArQ/5g-I-dNrNpI/s320/P1010899.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had a bunch of muslin laying around so I decided to make Kirsten a lacey underskirt . . .</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oy2KUzqIwKY/TgS3lENP5kI/AAAAAAAAArU/7cGca6pa6kw/s1600/P1010900.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oy2KUzqIwKY/TgS3lENP5kI/AAAAAAAAArU/7cGca6pa6kw/s320/P1010900.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And a pair of lacey pantelets!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e295TOwMpLs/TgS3ntnouzI/AAAAAAAAArY/P0Jn5IXFng0/s1600/P1010901.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" i$="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-e295TOwMpLs/TgS3ntnouzI/AAAAAAAAArY/P0Jn5IXFng0/s320/P1010901.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They were really easy and super fun to make. For the underskirt I slightly modified a pattern I had and for the pantelets I just shorted a pattern for PJ pants and added the lace! If you have Kirsten, Addy or Josephina and sew I highly recommend making something like this. The underskirt makes all of the dresses look more 'poofy' and more period-accurate.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8PoPBrbSR7U/TgS3p_kP9wI/AAAAAAAAArc/tAiuktIdeY0/s1600/P1010902.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" i$="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8PoPBrbSR7U/TgS3p_kP9wI/AAAAAAAAArc/tAiuktIdeY0/s320/P1010902.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The pantelets have elastic and the skirt fastens with a snap.</div><br />

This isn't for my girls, though, I'm going to sell it.</div><br />

This doll looks A LOT like me! I have blue eyes, not brown, but I have blonde hair in a similair style! If I ever get a MAG, it will probably be this one!!!<br />

The watch sets are adorable! A little over-priced, though.<br />
