Why?

Hi! This is a post in which I will do a lot of ranting, so please, be prepared.


Why? American Girl makes me ask this question every time they release something new, or raise their prices, or something like that. But today, I will be asking---


Why Does American Girl Focus So Much On Rebecca Rubin?
Why?


It's so very weird. I could understand why in 2009, when Rebecca was released, and she was new, but know, her new-ness is wearing off and well, she is just the same as any of the Historical Characters.

Like in this photo from the AG website. Why is the model in the Petal Pink Outfit not modeling with a doll in the same outfit, but with Rebecca?

And why, is Rebecca on the poster for the 25th Birthday Celebration?

This is a picture I really don't understand. Why is Rebecca not in her meet outfit?

And again, advertising the new Spring outfits with 2 other Historicals.

Don't get me wrong, Rebecca is a beautiful doll in real life, but I'm just not very fond of her story or how AG seems to focus on her a lot. Well at least we are getting a new HC this year.

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! 

Roses are Read Summer Contest Entry!

***My Summer Giveaway is 5 Posts Below!***

Hey! This is my entry for Roses are Read Summer Contest!

To me, summer means spending time with friends, vacationing, and of course, roasting marshmallows! The picture combines all of those things. I love summer and I think the picture really captures that!

Hope you like it,

Beaded Blessings

Hey! This past weekend my mom, Kayla, and I went to the Beaded Blessing Project at the same place where ThreadFest was. I brought Kirsten (Kayla brought Rebecca) and we went and sewed away! The idea was to create little bags to put prayers in but I think my project (even if it isn't a bag) speaks for itself! check out the pics below. :-)

An adventure by the beads!

Fabric samples

Kayla with Kirsten and Rebecca at the board where you put everything up on.

We had so much fun!

Also look for a giveaway soon.............

Pretty as a Princess

Hey! So I recently finished my second assignment for the AGMA. The theme was fairytale/princess. It was definitely tricky so I had to try my hardest and very best to create a video that was full of pictures that I took that also followed along to the theme. I think it turned out pretty well! I made Rebecca into a Medieval Princess instead of using Elizabeth's meet dress like a lot of other girls did. Here are some of my favorite snapshots. However the one of the shoes did not make the video.

I hope you liked them!
