American Girl Doll News

Today is Maryellen's birthday! She was born this day in 1945- she is 71 today! In her books, Maryellen has a show to raise money for the polio vaccine for kids who can't afford it. It is a success, encourages a couple of kids to get a polio shot, and the result is that Maryellen can ride in the mayor's convertible in the Memorial Day parade. What are you doing for Maryellen's birthday? When I go to the American Girl store in a few hours, I will say happy birthday to all of the Maryellen dolls and when I get home I'll play outside with my Maryellen doll (she loved playing outside as much as I do)

This is the end, this is the end! THIS IS THE END! I am going to borrow my friend's dolls so my collection of virtual dolls will grow! #VirtualDolls

Never let a six year old touch Kanani. Thank goodness I "almost" fixed her. #VirtualDolls

I love April. She is one of my favorites. I'm writing a book about her backstory because April is my favorite Truly Me doll. #VirtualDolls

After a long wait, I present you with the final four Virtual Dolls! #VirtualDolls

I found this ballet dress during a before school skim on eBay. Thoughts?

Today is Julie's birthday! She was born this day in 1966- she reached the huge milestone of 50 years today! In her book Julie And The Eagles, Julie uses her birthday party as a way to watch a bald eagle release that she worked so hard raising money for. What are you doing for Julie's birthday today? I'm filming scenes for Me My Camera And Diabetes and Different with her in them. Hey, she's pulling a Rebecca! #May2016
