Goodbye Emily and Mckenna! :(

Hey Everybody! Today I have breaking news to share. It is kind of sad but we just had to do it. Emily and Mckenna are leaving us. We will be selling them on ebay later. We are going to sell them because we don't really play with them anymore and we need to make some room for some new dolls. Well that's it for today. Farewell Emily and Mckenna! We will miss you!

Review of Journey Girls Doll Bike & Helmet

Hey Everybody! I was just at toys r us yesterday and I had a bit of money to spend so I decided to get the journey girls bike because it was on sale. If you want to buy it on the website click right here. I think it is really cute but their are a couple downsides that I wish I would have known about. Here are my thoughts and opinions:
Here is the entire bike. Sorry my ballet barre is in the back round.

Here is the small basket. It says JG on the front which stands for journey girls. This basket is hard plastic and it seems pretty good so far.

This is a close up shot of one of the wheels. The wheels are nice and sturdy and are a great feature.

Here are the tassles. They seem pretty good because they are not papery material and are less likely to rip.

Here is the middle section of the bike. I really like this part because it looks like a real bike.

Here is the back part. I am not sure if this has a proper name but I believe that it is for other people to jump on.

Here is the bike seat. It is purple and very shiny. This may be a little small for american girl dolls.

This is a sideways view of the bike chain. It looks pretty real but it doesn't actually move.

Here is the pedal. I think this is really cute except that it is too small for american girl dolls.

The helmet also has the journey girls logo stuck on it.

Here is the buckle on the helmet. This is absolutely adorable because it looks just like the real thing except it is mini. This is a bit tight on american girl dolls.

P.S Hannah's blog Frozen Fabulous was deleted because she didn't want a blog anymore but if you got a chance to see it from the link on our website that I took off a couple minutes ago you were lucky.

Review of Girl of the Year 2014 Isabelle

Hey Everybody! Today I am going to review Isabelle who is the girl of the year for 2014. I got her a couple of days ago but I decided to review her today. So here she is:
Isabelle looks so pretty in this picture. She is wearing the rosette leotard under the coral sweater with the sparkly skort. If you can see the shoes that she is wearing are the glittery gold ones that come with the meet outfit.

Here is a close up of Isabelle. In some other pictures Isabelle seems to have green eyes but in this one you can really tell that Isabelle's eyes are more of a hazel color.

Here is Isabelle's outfit. I am going to give a quick review. First of all I love the rosette leotard. It is great quality the same goes for the sparkly skort. As for the coral sweater when it arrived in the mail I noticed it had a little hole on it near the Isabelle tag. Now american girl is sending me a new one.

These gold shoes are really cute. They kind of remind me of dance shoes with their sling back style.

This is a picture of Isabelle's hair extensions. I know that I am the only one that thinks this but they were actually pretty easy to attach and it only took me a couple of minutes.

Izzy:)
P.S Another review is coming soon. Hannah will also be doing a craft tutorial.

Create your own doll sized Popcorn

Hi! It's Hannah and I'm here to show you how to make your own Popcorn for dolls. I originally got this out of the american girl book called doll play which you can purchase for $9.95 on the american girl website by clicking right here. The book also has lots of other great crafts that me and Izzy will be reviewing later. Enjoy!
Here is the popcorn. It almost looks real.

       
Supplies:
1 yellow marker ( it doesn't have to be scented)
1 piece of Styrofoam
Step 1: Break off a smaller piece of Styrofoam. You can skip this step if you already had a small piece.

Step 2: Pull off an even smaller piece of Styrofoam.

Step 3: Use the yellow marker to color the small piece of Styrofoam.

Do this until your bowl of popcorn is full.

*Hannah*

How To Organize Your Doll Stuff

Hey Everybody! While I was going through my doll stuff I realized how disorganized my doll stuff was so I decided to put my doll stuff in multiple bins. I made bins for the accessories, shoes, shirts, and pants. After that I simply added labels with colored post it notes. Here are some pictures:
These are the shoes and accessories bins.

Here is the bin for shirts and sweaters. I also put one of my doll leotards inside.

Here is the bin for shoes. I have a couple of odd ones inside.

Here is the bin for my accessories. You might see more of these later.

Here is a sideways shot of all of the bins.

My American Boy Doll

Hey Everybody! I have been kind of bored waiting for Isabelle to come in the mail so I decided to do some searching through my doll stuff and I found my old Samantha doll. Samantha's hair was all ratty and not in good condition. Her legs and arms were so loose that I am surprised that they didn't fall off right then. Here are some pictures of her:

Here is Samantha attempting to stand up.

So I tied the hair styling cape around Samantha and decided to turn her into an american boy doll. I got some scissors and with the help of Hannah we managed to cut Samantha's hair.

Samantha is now renamed Nick. We used some hairspray to make Nick's styling hairstyle. We removed all of Nick's lip coloring. I made Nick's shirt using an old black sock and some stickers. The pants are from american girl. Nick will appear in a photo story later.

Not So Fancy Valentine's Day Tea Party Photo Story

Hi Everybody! Today Savannah and Kylie decided to have a tea party for Valentine day! It was all good until all the cupcakes ran out and only one remained. Who will get the last cupcake? Read to find out:
Savannah and Kylie were having a tea party in honor of Valentine's day. They had lots of treats such as cupcakes, chocolate, rice krispie treats, and jam tarts. It was absolutely delicious. Until...
Oh no! The girls loved the cupcakes so much that they had forgotten how many they had ate. Now only one of the delicious cupcakes remained.

Both of the girls stared at the last cupcake.

"I call it!" Savannah yelled quickly.

"That's not fair!" yelled Kylie " I want it!"

Kylie quickly leaned over the table to grab the cupcake.

Savannah also wanted the cupcake so she grabbed a jam tart and aimed it at Kylie's face.

Kylie fell over backwards and the jam splattered all over her face.

"Are you okay" asked Savannah.

 Kylie wiped the jam off her face. "Oh, I'm ok."

"But you look a little hungry."Kylie said. "Do you want some chocolate?" Kylie chucked the piece of chocolate directly at Savannah's face.

"AAAAAAH!" exclaimed Savannah. The chocolate landed right on Savannah's forehead.

After that the girls apologized to each other. 

"Oooops, I forgot about the cupcake that I left in the oven." said Kylie. After that the girls enjoyed the cupcakes and forgot about everything that had happened before.


Happy Valentine's Day!

Izzy                  Hannah
P.S The table is the american girl baking table, the kitchen is the our generation set from target, the chocolates are erasers, Hannah made Kylie's headband.

My New Doll is..........

Hey Everybody! Since nobody decided to guess my new doll I have decided to reveal her today. I also decided to reveal the items that I am getting with her. So..... Drumroll please.......... Here she is:
I have decided to get Isabelle because I really liked her and her entire collection. She will be my first girl of the year. I did not buy every single item in her collection but I might get them later in the year. I will be getting the Isabelle doll and book but I will not be getting her accessories. I might get them later in the year but I was a bit hesitant to buy them because I read a couple reviews and some people said the black dye on Isabelle's jacket runs on her arms.


This is the only outfit I am getting that is not one of Isabelle's mix and match pieces. I really like the shoes.


I really like the color.
I could also use this for gymnastics.


This reminds me of Mckenna's.


This looks really cute on Isabelle.

The sparkles are really cute.


Tights are a must have for any dancer.
This tutu looks great with the leotards.
This looks really cute with the coral sweater.


Izzy

P.S I will be doing a review of each item later.
