Don't you think that she looks almost like McKenna (GOTY 2012), a shade of blonde hair, blue eyes? Her skin color does look a little darker then McKenna's.

SNEAK PEEK: American Girl GOTY 2016
This is a picture of what the GOTY 2016 mini doll will look like! It is a good indicator of what the full 18 inch version will resemble.

My Favourite School Item From AG
I love all the AG school items but if I had to choose which one is my favourite, I would probably choose.... The School Desk Set For Dolls (that is now retired from AG). The School Desk Set is my favourite because it looks just like a real desk and I love how it comes with a math textbook because I love math.
If I am in a creative mood and looking to add school supplies for my doll that does not cost a lot, I just made my own supplies! So who likes to create stuff for their dolls? If you do, these crafts are perfect for you. These crafts are on: How to make notebook and pencil for your doll. Some things that you need:
1) lined paper
2) cardboard
3) scissors
4) markers/ pencil crayons/ crayons
5) string or you can use pipe cleaners or yarn
6) hole puncher
7) tooth pick
Notebook:
First you have to decide what size you want to make your notebook, then you are going to cut the cardboard as big as you want. Next you fold your piece of cardboard in half to make the base of the notebook. Hole punch 2 holes near the folded ends (near middle spine) of the cardboard. Now it is time to make the pages, so you are going to cut pieces of papers that are a little smaller than the folded size of the cardboard base and then you are going to hole punch 2 holes on both ends of the papers. Assemble the papers inside the folded cardboard ensuring the the punch holed areas line up. Use your string to tie the paper and the cardboard together by looping through the punched holed areas. Secure the string with a knot. Finally it's time to design the cover and decorate however you want!
Pencil:
First you are going to want to get a tooth pick and make sure that one end of it is flat and then the other end is pointy. Now your going to colour the flat end pink, then your going to colour the pointy end black and finally you are going to colour the whole middle area of the pencil yellow.

Our American Girl Place Boston Visit
As soon as Julie and I arrived at the airport in Boston, we knew our first stop would have to be the American Girl Place. We arrived early prior to the doors opening to make sure we were the first ones there. I had a blast with Julie! I loved all the new items AG had but 1 outfit caught my eye and it was...... Julie's Mix-Print Maxi Dress outfit (includes headband, bracelet, necklace, dress and sandals). I just had to buy it! I have included pictures of Julie in her new outfit down below.
I also said to myself before I went into the store, that I had to purchase at least one of Caroline's (Beforever Doll) outfits before she retires....... I decided to go with Caroline's Travel Outfit. It will fit nicely with my collection.
In addition, I got to see alot of the new lines of BeForever doll clothing and furniture. Some new stuff I like better than the old but there were many instances where the former lines are far better in my opinion. For example, I am a huge fan of Julie's line but I have to say... Julie's new bed and PJ's are no match to her former bed and PJ's. Her original collection is much better. I think some of the new BeForever collections are a little too modern for the time periods they are to represent.
It was my first time at the AG store in Boston and it was a great experience and the Costumer Service Representative (CSR) was really nice. The store was a little smaller then some of the other AG Place stores that I visited. Blog to you later:D

Welcoming Grace
Let's all welcome the newest member of the family....Grace Thomas GOTY 2015! Grace loves to bake up delicious treats all the time. If she's not baking, then she is usually on the soccer field or playing on the volleyball court. Grace has a dog named Cookie. Grace loves to have a variety of braid styles in her hair including: a french braid, a waterfall braid, a fishtail braid and any kind of braid hairstyle you can think of creating. I have added a picture of Grace with a crazy braid hairstyle down below for you to see. Have any of you AG fans out there heard of "Grace Stirs Up Success" the movie? I have not yet seen it but I am going to get the DVD to watch because I missed the premiere on TV. She is doll #7 for me. I chose to add Grace to my doll collection because she has some of the same features as me. I, too, have gotten in to baking a little so she might be able to guide me with some tips along the way. I do have to let you in on a little secret... at first Isabelle and her didn't get along when Grace arrived. Guess what though...Grace never gave up and now Isabelle and her are like best friends.
