About a year ago, I had found Liz's website and was inspired by it. She had gorgeous dolls and loved to care for them and share with other girls- which got me thinking, why not start a blog on my own? My mom had a blogspot.com blog and really enjoyed reading it, so later that week, we started this blog- I Heart American Girl. Back then, it was just my doll Kirsten and my sister's doll Elizabeth, making photostories with our friends and doing polls and writing the latest AG news. I can still look back on my posts and think how different things are. But I still remember my first 3 followers- Mom, Quinlyn, and Queen Lucy. Thank you so much! I remembered how happy I was when I learned of following and I realized I had followers! It made me want to try harder!
So I began taking photos:
They weren't very good, but I tried.
And soon I learned about color. And light.
And it looked great!
But then I found black & white. And macro. And I loved it!!! And by your feedback so did you. But you guys never cease to amaze. Ya'll left me the sweetest comments!
But I tried more..........
And then I added one more to my family.
But it was you guys who kept me through it. You guys are the only ones who I can turn to to talk about AG, nobody at my school likes it as much as I do.
And one day, I stumbled across a GOTYs video telling us to look up our YouTube usernames to make sure no one was making money off of our videos. And the result was sooo sweet.
I found this Facebook page. I love you guys!!!! You never took credit for my video and blog, you only gave me compliments.
And then I got this e-mail from a girl:
I'm not going to say who she is (incase she wants to remain anonymous), but she is has an amazing blog, and I wish her the best of luck. And then I got this comment,
I love you all! I seriously am about to cry right now. You all have been so sweet and kind and never cease to amaze me. I love you all and I hope this blog remains for years to come.

You are very welcome! You were one of the few (and by few I mean ten or eleven) people that inspired me to write the blog I have today.
I as well hope that your blog remains for many more years to come, and I will be reading faithfully all the way.
In my case, don't be thanking me I am thanking you, I'm still only in grade school but I was kind of afraid to talk about it because I thought people would make fun of me. But here I can express my american girl thoughts and feelings knowing I won't get made fun of That's why we love you!!! PS---I was the one who wrote the comment about only 3 comments and I understard if you think it is kind of silly.
