Contest Reminder and Series News!

Hey everyone! I just want to give you a reminder that this Thursday is last day to enter my Fall Photo Contest! I currently have one entry from Sierra- thanks so much!


I also want to say thank you to my 50 followers! I met my goal. Ya'll mean soooo much to me! :-)


Third, I just want to say that yesterday I finished filming the first episode of my series! In a few minutes I will go and create the intro/title/theme song/thing and then I will give all of my readers a special preview- before it airs on YouTube. And I have a name too! It's called, Across the Pond. My mom thought of it and she told me it was a saying for a person going to the US from England or vice versa. It's going to be sooo cool!


Happy Fall,
Gabby

New Bios, New Look, New Doll! {198th Post!}

Hey! Don't you love it when I put  'new' in my title! Well, I don't know about you- but I love it! So to celebrate 198 posts, my new girly, and this fabulous new look- I decided why not have a photo shoot? 
Here are my best shots and some of them have been put into the doll's profiles (bios). Look away!

So which one did you like the best? I love Felicity!! She is gorgeous and I'm glad I picked her to be my last doll!

PS You may be wondering why I'm celebrating an 198th post. I'm asking myself that question too. But, who cares! I would like to celebrate this day because, I think I have successfully memorized all my lines, got forgiven by a friend, and got my 3rd AG doll! 

New American Girl Items! (Fall 2010)

Hey! Yippee new items! But after looking through all the stuff, I find nothing that I really like. Hmmm... I think American Girl is losing it's touch. I want some new Historical Stuff, but instead the give me more expensive MAG stuff. This is going to be a long Winter.


Anywho, here are my favs and stuff that should be forgotten....

This is the Snow Flurry Outfit for $34. It only has 4 clothing pieces and a plastic charm. And this is replacing the Snowy Chic Outfit?

And this is the Ruby and Ribbon Dress and Accessories for $60. I have to admit the mini Christmas book is pretty cute and the dress is a lot better than last year's. But for $60? And we all wonder why they're retiring dolls. Also, this dress cannot be shipped to Canada. Go ahead look. 

And here are the new Innerstar U books! They actually look pretty cool and I'm think of asking for one for Christmas. 

This is the new skiing outfit for $62. I think the colors are cute but the bright blue body-suit/coat/thing is kind of... odd. But the helmet design is pretty modern.

And here is another new book! The Poster Pack. Personally I think this kind of has no point. I mean we can cut pictures from the catalogue or find pictures online. This definitely not worth the price of $9.95.

This is the new cat, Praline. I don't think she's that cute, especially with the purple collar, but that's just me.

Now here's is something adorable! I love this! It probably won't even work on the doll, but still so realistic!

Here is the Cozy Plaid outfit for $30. Now this is cute! I love this little combo of colors! I think the purple boots are so versatile and the cardigan is adorable. 

 

Here is the Snowflake PJ's for $24. It's nothing original, basically the same type as the Penguin PJ's last year, just with a different pattern.

This outfit is just AWKWARD! Sorry, but the jeans don't fit right, the sweater is oversized, and the flats are nothing new. All this for $28? Not worth it.

You must really love InnerstarU if you're going to buy the Travel Set for $28. Almost all the pieces have the IU logo on it. But overall, I guess it's pretty cute.

This is.. nice. Oh who am I kidding? It just looks like an enlargement of the Bitty Twin set. And for $113? Forget it.....

And for the Bitty Twins....

The changed their meet outfit! I don't really care for this just because it kind of is right up in your face. Hmmm.....

And look at this! A new storage shelf for $85. It has pegs, bins, and an earring tree. It doesn't look worth the price.

And finally this last thing, this Recital Outfit for $28. What is so special about this outfit? It doesn't even look like it fits right! And get this, it's already back-ordered.

So what are some of your favorite things? You can see more here.
