Hogwarts Here We Come!

Last September I did a photo shoot with Emily on her way to Hogwarts!  Here are the photos from that day!

My new (well new-ish) doll!

I completely forgot to make a post and share that I got a new doll!

Meet Cassidy!

I bought her off eBay, so she is a pre-loved dolly.  She is #39 and is probably my closest look-a-like doll now.  

I knew I wanted to customize her, so decided on giving her blue highlights in her hair.  I decided to sew hair wefts into her hair to make them permanent.  I used the method in this video.  And these are the hair wefts I used.  If you want to do this method on your doll, remember it is quite permanent and very difficult to remove.  

I absolutely adore this doll and can't wait to see what adventures we go on!

American Girl Items!

I am lucky enough to have one of my local Toys R Us to have an American Girl section in the store.  I don't have an AG store close to me, it would take over four hours to get to one, so having a section in Toys R Us is insanely cool to me.

If you didn't know, American Girl is now being sold at some Toys R Us stores, for locations click on this link!

They currently just sell Wellie Wishers, Truly Me, and I believe will eventually have the 2017 Girl of the Year.  I am not sure about the last one, but I know they did have Lea, so hopefully they will have Gabriela too.

I bought three things and was so excited to see the section at Toys R Us.  When I checked out I even got an American Girl bag to have my purchases in.  It was a fun experience and I will hopefully be heading back to get a few more things when they rotate their products.

Anyways on to my purchases!

Fourth of July Photoshoot!

Happy 4th Of July!  Here is a photoshoot with some outfits I sewed myself.

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!  Have a wonderday!

As many of you know, my doll was in a desperate need for a trip to the doll hospital!  Welp, I finally did it!

I shipped her off on March 11th, and she arrived at the Doll Hospital on March 14th.  I waited and waited and waited, then finally on April 8th, I received an email telling me that my doll was admitted.  I was so excited to finally hear from them.  I also received another email telling me that the hospital set was backordered, which to be honest all I wanted was my doll.

On April 13th, after I came home from work, there was a large box sitting on the couch.  I was so happy to see that large box!  I opened the box and found my doll as good as new!  She was wearing the Pretty Pink Robe (I'll explain later), with socks, and she had the Certificate of Good Health and Get Well Soon card.  I also got another surprise, they said the reason her limbs were so loose was because of a defect in the doll, so it was a complimentary fix.

I am so happy to have my doll back.  She definitely has more stuffing in her than before and her limbs are tight and can be lifted now.  I don't think she has ever been in that good of condition.  And the reason the hospital set is backordered is because they didn't have any regular gowns, but they said they will ship them mid-May when the order comes in.

I am so happy to have her back and looking great again.  If you have any questions about my experience, just leave a question in the comments and I will do my best to answer.

Have a wonderday!

Valentine Gift Set from American Girl

This was in a recent sale and I really wanted it.  I adore the quote the on it.  Anything that has to do with music I am in.

The gift set comes in an red envelope.

The shirt is pink with silver writing on it.  It has a small American Girl tag sewn in the front too.  The sleeves are quite short too.

The back is all pink and has velcro to put it on the doll.

Have a wonderday!

Softball Set from American Girl

I have had my eye on this set for quite a while a now and with a recent sale, I bought it.  I used to play softball when I was younger, so I thought it would be the perfect addition to my doll's collection.

The softball outfit is teal and purple.  The shirt velcros in the back and there is elastic on the shorts.

The cleats are purple with pink colored laces.

It is hard to tell in the picture, but on the bottom of the cleats there are studs just like real ones.

The helmet is one of my favorite parts.  It's pink and has padding inside.

There is a large white star on the right side of the helmet, along with the American Girl signature on the back.

The softball and bat are my other favorite part.  The doll can hold the bat too.  The grip is black, and the bat is pink and white.  The ball feels like a small softball, and it's the yellowish-green color with orange laces like the real ones I used to play with.

It also comes with purple socks.

And two pink colored hair ties, with ribbons of them.

I can't wait to try this outfit on my doll when she comes back from the doll hospital.

Have a wonderday!

American Girl Corgi Review

For Christmas I got the Truly Me Corgi puppy!  Since I have a corgi, I was very excited to get this!  I just used my phone camera for these pictures, but I want to take better pictures later.

Here is the corgi!  (Ignore the Christmas mess on the floor.  He he.)
The fur is super soft and feels almost like the soft fur on my dog.

Here is the front of the corgi.

The back of the corgi.  They have a little stubby tail, which my dog doesn't have a tail, but that's okay.

Here is the two sides of the corgi.  The legs are posable and can move.

Quite a big tag on it's leg, but I think I can just cut it off.

And of course, the dog has magnets in it's mouth to hold it's toy!  I haven't had a new American Girl pet in a while.

And for fun, this is a picture with my dog, Rocky and the new corgi puppy.  The corgi puppy is almost the size of Rocky when we brought him seven and half years ago.  I can't believe it was that long ago, but he is still our buddy.

I just wanted to share a quick review, but I would recommend this little pup to anyone!  I need to pick out a name for the corgi puppy, does anyone have any suggestions?

Have a wonderday!
