A great little thing for a Saturday

Bopping about on Living Locurto, and came across some really aesthetically pleasing paper dolls.


The printable can be found on How About Orange. Great suggestion from Living Locurto - print them on magnet sheets and play with them on the fridge. The daughter likes to play with paper dolls WITH her dolls...as if her dolls are playing with the paper dolls. Because, well, apparently that is important, that her dolls have something to play with....

Oh.My.Goodness.

I just came across this on the Raising American Girls blog. 18" doll fur lined boots. Whoo hooo!

My daughter is going to be soooooooo excited when we (and by we I mean my mother and my daughter) figure out how to make these...tiny NOT UGG boots for her dolls. Lisa Marie found the direction at Fun In My Backyard. Try and tell me they are not the most precisious thing you have seen. Today.


Thinking about this crafting. Please keep in mind that when you arrange for your party, we can consider an easy craft for your daughter and her friends to make for their dolls while the moms are shopping!

Emily Rose Doll Clothes Blog

Lisa Marie, the owner of Emily Rose Doll Clothes, has re-started up her blog for the company. You can see it at Raising American Girls. her daughter, the companies namesake, Emily Rose, is obviously quite involved. Which I find to be quite lovely. I really adore how involved Lisa Marie has her daughter with the whole company.

Emily Rose posted a video today running a contest, that you and your daughter just might want to check out

Post Holiday Fun

My daughter received her Julie doll from Santa, so that brings her up to four American Girl dolls and one Our generation doll. Good on her. She is now saving up her money to buy Kit on Spring Break when we go to Chicago. Ohhh. I don't think I have ever mentioned that the Madame Alexander dolls came into Emily Rose. You cannot get them through the @ home parties...but you can buy them direct from Emily Rose. Fabulous price too. There are five dolls. The link will take you to the Doll named After School Cool.

My daughter loves watching the myriad American Girl videos that are available online. Her favorite thing to watch recently is how girls get the snarls out of the dolls hair. Has anyone tried these potions? Do they work?
