Halloween

Hey Everyone!
So today I was in the Halloween spirit as me and my dolls are planning a Halloween Party for my neighborhood! And I was wondering what you are going to be for Halloween? I'm going as Hermione Granger from Harry Potter
Sooo... I had an idea for.....

Doll Costume Parade!

(This is kind of like the Costume Contest on American Girl Fan but with a few twists of my own.)

Caption that Doll Picture #3!

Hey Everyone!

Heres a brand new Caption that Doll picture!!

Happy Captioning!

Harry Potter

Hey Everyone!
How many of your read Harry Potter or have seen the movies? I'm currently on the 7th book and have seen 5 of the movie and I'm going to watch the 6th one tomorrow! I have become a tiny bit obsessed about Harry Potter and can't get enough of it! Anyway so I took this REALLY fun quiz (with my dolls) and was Sorted into:

I was hoping to be Sorted into Gryffindor House but I like Hufflepuff all the same! If you click on badge then I will take you to the quiz and you can be Sorted too! If you do take the quiz please tell me what House you are Sorted into!

P.S. A House is a British way of dividing up students based on their personality and interest. 

Hey!

Hello everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but I have been sooo busy with school that I have had no time to post.
But come back tomorrow (or Saturday) and I brand new Photostory will be here! Can you guess what it is about?
(Hint: Happy Jewish New Year!)

Sorry for not posting!

Hey Everyone!
I was at Outdoor Ed this week (the same one as the girl who made My American Girl Place) It was soooo much because we where the only school there and my class has only 22 kinds in it!
Anyway American Girl has released some new items! Here are my favorites:

New trundle bed! I'm hoping my dad will make this for my dolls!

Toasty the Collie! She (or he) is soooo cute! I'm hoping that AG will make a Pug soon.

This dress is very pretty, I kinda wish it didn't have the collar though!

I loooooove this outfit! Wouldn't it look good on Kanani?

This years holiday outfit! It very pretty and the little snow globe is so cute!

I think this outfit is my favorite! It would look amazing on my Rebecca doll!

I so glad American Girl brought back sleeping bags for dolls! They very good for dolls who are on the go and its ALOT cheeper then the beds

This tub is great if your doll dreams of being a pet groomer!

At last! This shower is very cute! I bet my modern Kanani doll would love this!

What are your favorite new items? Soon I'll be posting a photostory about Kanani's first day at American Girl Academy!

Hi!

Mini Ivy is um... Large. I think this Mini Doll is a bit fat but it is still soooo cute!

Mini Marie-Grace looks almost exactly like the 18inch Marie-Grace. She is just so adorable!

Cecile's little curls are so sweet and I adore her boots for some odd reason!

Special Edition Julie is perfect. I have the big Julie and mini Julie and this mini is an exact replica!

Where do I begin on how much I love this doll. I'm and sooooo getting this mini!!!!

What Minis do you have? Do you have any Special Edition mini dolls?

Nothing 'tis sweeter than a new life just beginning

Hi everyone!

Just as Felicity said when her baby sister was born: "Nothing 'tis sweeter than a new life just beginning"

School

Hi!
Sorry I wasn't able to post this week but I just started eighth grade this week and was very busy. I'll try to post more later!!

First Photostory!

Hi! My name is Rebecca Rubin but you can call me Bekie! Today I'm going to give you a tour of American Girl Academy for Dolls, tomorrow is the first day of school so everyone is doing their part in cleaning and setting up!

My sister Kirsten is making the beds where we will sleep while attending AGA (American Girl Academy). 

Ivy is feeding our class pets, George and Billy Bob Joe XVIII (or is it XVIIII) the fish. We have to get them a bigger tank soon (note to self..)

Ivy's twin (and BFF) Julie is making sure the teachers desk is in order (and practicing her multiplication)!

Emily has put herself in charge of decorating the white board. She is a GREAT artist

Felicity is using the skills she learned at her former school to polish our samovar so we can have hot tea in the morning!

Kaya is setting up our locker combos and fixing anything that got worn out or rusty over the summer!

My little sister Kanani is taking a break from building her Shave Ice and Food stand for a well deserved  orange soda!

And this is the school uniform for AGA! Isn't lovely? I went shopping a few weeks ago and bought some school stuff for me a my sisters to share!

A nice flowered book bag

An American Flag (because it never hurts to be patriotic!)

A library card! (I LOVE to read)

A Kewpies notebook! (Kewpies where the American Girl Dolls of 1914)

I love singing so I got this music sheet to practice on in case there is a school play!

This is a folder with worksheets we did over the summer.

Our lunch money to buy food from Kanani's Shave Ice and Food stand!

My summer reading book! Its it funny the girl in this book has the same name as me AND all the same clothes as me AND wants to be an actress just like me!?

And last but not least.. a pencil! 

I hope you enjoyed your tour of American Girl Academy for Dolls! Come back tomorrow to see how our first day went!

25th Anniversary Special Edition Mini Dolls!

This year American Girl is releasing a new mini doll every month. And here they are:

Mini Kaya in her holiday dress! This dress was made for Kaya's village's celebration and is made out of faux buckskin, faux elk teeth and beads! I love this Mini Doll she looks just like the 18 inch Kaya!

Mini Felicity! She sooo cute in her little dress that looks just like the real thing! Her small mob cap and tiny shoe are just adorable!

This is my favorite Mini! I LOVE her mantilla, pantalettes, shoe and dress!! I'm planning to get her by the end of the year! 

Mini Kirsten looks all set for winter! I have this outfit for my 18 inch Kirsten and it looks even cuter on a mini Kirsten!

Mini Addy I don't like her.... I LOVE this doll! Her dress really goes with her skin color! I also like how American Girl managed to put little earring on both this doll and Josefina!

Mini Samantha is sooo adorable. I think her hair is the longest of all the Mini Dolls! I like how her dress looks exactly like the real one (my sister has this dress for her 18 inch Samantha)!

Mini Kit is the newest Mini Doll and in my opinion one of the cutest! I'm amazed that American Girl put the little Scottish dog on her dress! I've always loved how Kit's hair looked and it looks so cute in Mini form with the little spotted hair tie!

Last but not least! Mini Molly! Her little glasses are very cute! Her dress is kinda short but that was the style back then. Mini Molly looks just like the real Molly right down to her Mary Jane shoes!

Next month Julie and Rebecca's Mini Dolls will be released! And sometime this week I'll do a photo story on how to make your own canopy doll bed!

Gift Card

Hey everyone!
My aunt, uncle and cousin's gave me a $75 American Girl gift card for my birthday I was wondering what to get with it!

And this is what I've chosen! 

I absolutely LOVE Marie-Grace, I still need a few more dollars (okay a LOT more) but I'm almost there! 

My favorite Marie-Grace and Cecile things!

Hey everyone! Today American Girl released Marie-Grace and Cecile! Here are my favorite things from there collection:

Marie-Grace doll. I've decided to save up for here! (it might take a few centuries but I'll get there!) She is sooooo cute I love her pink dress and her little curls

Cecile doll. My sister want her BAD! Her pincurls are very cute and her dress is the prettiest shade of blue!

I love this little hoop skirt and chemise, but I think $24 for a little white shift and hoops is a bit much. I bet I could make it my self easy-peasy :D!

I love old fashioned puffy yet simple dress such as this one! Even if I don't get Marie-Grace I am soooo getting this dress!!

I read a little bit about each of these books, and I cannot WAIT to read these!!
