I think, though I am not sure, that I have already showed everyone my friend's website. But just in case I haven't, here is a great doll website...

Girl's Only

It is such an awesome website! -Hal

PS- I can't find my camera right now to take a photostory.
: ( Sorry! I will try to do one ASAP!!!

Poll

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. I have had a lot of tests in school this week. : (

Anyway, I accidentally deleted the results for the poll; I am so sorry!! I will make another poll once I'm done baking some cookies.

I am going to see Alice and Wonderland soon and I am so excited. What do you think of the movie, if you've seen it?

Opinion

Here's another opinion (the first one in a while, might I add). How many American Girl dolls do you have? As you probably know, I have five. Also, when did you get your first one? I got mine when I turned eight. I was soooooo happy! Please answer the Opinion. Thanks! -Halley

Doll Blog

After lots of convincing, one of my best friends decided to make a doll blog of her own!!

http://www.alwaysgirls.weebly.com

It is a really cool website and she just posted an adorable photostory. It would be so great if you would check it out!! -Hal

NEW I LOVE LUCY BARBIE!!

I have finally found out what the 2010 'I Love Lucy' Barbie looks like! She's from the episode 'Lucy Tells the Truth' from the 3rd season, episode #72. I am so happy; she's adorable! What do you think of her?

A Rainy Day With The Dolls...

Oh boy! A rainy day! Lissie, Elizabeth, Julie, Kimi, and Rebecca are spending the day inside. It seems like everyone's having fun, but what's this?

Elizabeth has Strep Throat! Oh no! Looks like this rainy day won't be so fun after all...

Great. Kimi has to go to the store because the girls ran out of soup. Normally, it wouldn't be so bad, but it's pouring out!

Julie accompanies Elizabeth while she eats her snack.

Rebecca is making Elizabeth a get well present-- a pair of pretty tights!

Late in the afternoon, Felicity reads her best friend Meet Kaya. That's one of their favorites!

I hope that Elizabeth feels better soon!

New Dolls?

I have to make this short because it's in the middle of the week, but I just checked Doll Diaries (http://www.dolldiaries.com/) and saw something awesome!! American Girl may be coming out with two new historical dolls! I am so happy. Check out the website for details... I just needed to announce that. I am so excited!!

Poll

Yet another poll has ended! The question: What Do You Think Of Lanie? The Results:

Love Her: 13 people
Like Her: 9 people
Sort Of: 2 people
Not Really: 1 person
Not At All: 0 people

I chose Like Her because her collection is kind of expensive and some of it (aka the racoon in the trash) is sort of odd. Please comment on why you chose the answer you did!!

-Hal

Lissie, Come Home!

Felicity has come home from the Doll Hospital! I have had her for five years, and her legs have become kind of loose. : ( I am so glad she's home!! Her legs are all better, and she's come in a hospital gown, balloon, a hospital wristband, and a certificate. Her hair is neatly tied in a pretty bow. It's great that she's home!

My I Love Lucy Collection

Here is my I Love Lucy collection-- one of the many things, though the best thing, I collect!

It is so large, I can't fit it all on one shelf, so I have to put some of the stuff on another!!

I hope that everyone enjoys I Love Lucy as much as I do! Do you collect anything (besides dolls, of course!) -Hal

New Outfits

Here are some new outfits that are for my AG dolls. I thought it was time to post some more pictures, so here they are!

Here is Rebecca in a new-ish outfit. The shirt is from Target, my sewing teacher made the skirt (It's just like the one that Rebecca has in her Hanukkah outfit), and her tights and shoes are from Rebecca's Meet Outfit.

And here is Kimi, modeling a very summery outfit (I know... in the middle of winter!). She is wearing the shirt and shoes that come in the JLY gardening outfit, and then the cargo pants are ones that I made with a Hawaiian print. Also, there are little slits on the bottom with bows on top of them.

So, I hope that everyone has had a nice weekend. Back to school on Monday! -Hal

I Love Lucy Barbies

Now that I have eight I Love Lucy Barbie dolls, I want to give sort of a "synopsis" of each one, just in case anyone wants to get one.

1. Lucy Does a TV Commercial- Comes in Lucy's plaid dress that she wore in the episode, with an adorable hat and a bottle (of vitametavegemin) and a spoon. As far as I know, this is the only one that has the episode written on the stand.
2. Lucy Gets in Pictures- Comes in the outfit that Lucy wore in the episode, with a gigantic headdress, bathing-suit type outfit, fishnet tights, and shoes that say Lucy Ricardo on the bottoms, like in the episode.
3. Lucy's Italian Movie- This one has what I think is the cutest face of all of them. Lucy wears the lacy blouse and dark blue skirt that she wears in Italy, and she has a bunch of grapes that she does not hold, but I just set it down on her stand.
4. Job Switching- Comes in a grey-and-pink uniform, cute pink high-heels, and has chocolates that she holds in her hand. Also, her hat has chocolates in it!
5. Sales Resistance- This one comes in the famous polka-dotted dress, black flats, and has a white apron with red rick-rack on it. This is the most traditional of the dolls.
6. Lucy Gets a Paris Gown- Lucy's face on this one is just precious! She's wearing the oh-so-funny burlap bag, and the horse's feedsack on her head. She wears pearl earrings, a pearl pin, and a clutch with pearls on it.
7. The Ballet- It's so funny! Lucy is wearing a ballet tutu and ballet slippers. In her hair is a wreath of flowers. Her tights are very sheer, so be careful not to tear them.
8. LA at Last- This one is my favorite. Lucy wears the beautiful rhinestone-studded housecoat that she wears in the episode. She holds a coffee cup, but you need to keep the plastic on in order for it to stay in her hands. So don't take it off... I almost made that mistake. Her face is the funniest thing! She has huge glasses on, along with a nose made of putty that is "burnt".

So, that's everything! I absolutely love all of them. -Hal

PS-- Do you have any of the above dolls? If so, which ones? Also, what is your favorite I Love Lucy episode? Mine is Lucy Gets a Paris Gown.

Kailey- 0 votes
Marisol- 2 votes

14 people voted this time! That's great. Please be sure to vote on my next poll! TTFN

American Girl Place Pix!

Here's what everyone's been waiting for: pictures from American Girl Place!! Yaay! I went the other day, and I had a blast seeing everything. I also had a blast taking pictures of everything!

Up above is the picture of the entrance to American Girl Place. It's so huge!
Here's all the GOTY's, not including Chrissa. Sorry it has a little bit of a glare to it; the flash on my camera got in the way.

Here are all the Just Like You dolls. I managed to get this one without much of a glare.

Here's Rebecca's setup. I love the menorah sitting in the window (I'm not sure if you can see it in this photograph.)

Here is Felicity's display. There's a little pineapple on top of the apple decoration, and I have a question: how did they get apples in Willilamsburg, in 1774?

Here is my favorite display: Kaya's. I really like hers because it has the snow. She also has beautiful outfits, but she doesn't have many.

Here is Addy's setup. I liked this one because of the dress. It's so much prettier in person than just on the doll!!

Well, I hope you have had a nice tour of American Girl Place. I have some more pictures, but they didn't work correctly. Please check back often because I'm going photo-crazy with my new camera! -Hal

LANIE!!

Guess what? On Doll Diaries, they've released a picture of Lanie, the AG Girl Of The Year! Here is the link:

http://dolldiaries.com/presenting-lanie-the-american-girl-of-the-year-2010/

I am so excited to see all of her stuff! I think she is so cute. I like her blond hair, but I think she looks a little too much like Sharpay from High School Musical and I really don't like those movies. Also, why is her bunny on a leash? I find that a bit odd. But enough with the critic-mode.

I absolutely LOVE her dress! At first, I thought she'd be wearing the striped shirt with pants, but the dress is even cuter. Also, her stories sound great! Can't wait 'till the 1st!

-Hal

PS- Pictures of my visit to American Girl Place will be coming S-O-O-N!

Barbie "The Original Teenage Fashion Model"

So, today my mom went to Target while I was in my sewing lesson, and saw the Barbie 50th Anniversary, 1959, doll that I had my eye on. There were only two left, and when my sewing lesson was over, she told me that it was only $20.00 (reduced from $40.00)! So after lunch we ran over to Target and started hunting... finally, stashed on the top shelf, we found her! I am so happy now.

But, I have a dilemma. Should I keep her in the box, because I really like how she's set up, or should I take her out and have her on display in my room? Please comment and give me your opinion!

Christmas

Hello, everyone! I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas! I certainly did, and here are all of the doll-related things that I got:

First of all, here are two of my (eight) I Love Lucy Barbie dolls. The one on the left I got from Santa, and she's from the episode "LA At Last". The one on my right I got on Christmas Eve from my grandparents, and she is this year's I Love Lucy Barbie doll. She's from the episode "The Ballet". I think they are so cute!

Here is Kimi, the doll that I brought to Christmas Eve with me, opening up Julie's pajamas.

Here is Julie wearing her pajamas. I think this is my favorite PJ set. What's yours?

And, last but not least, here is Kimi posing in front of my grandparents' tree. My grandma has an extensive collection of Christopher Radko (he makes Christmas ornaments) collection, and her tree is beautiful!

Now that Christmas is over, I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy New Year! -Hal
