Aloha, everyone! 🌺 Today, I am excited to share with you a vlog of our trip to the American Girl Store in Atlanta for Nanea Mitchell's release. I was so excited upon hearing that we would be going to her debut- my family doesn't visit the AG Store very often (mostly once or twice each year due to the traveling distance), so this was a wonderful opportunity to view Nanea's collection and the new American Girl items. 😄 Of course, my sisters and I wanted to join in on the fun

A new girl has made a surprise arrival at our dollhouse this week... Say hello to Rebecca! 💜 I did not purchase Rebecca, nor did my sisters. She was a surprise doll that we won in a giveaway! Each Monday, Pixie Faire (A website that sells doll clothes patterns and much more) hosts fun giveaways that anyone can enter. The prize? A unique doll and handmade outfit! 😄 Since DollBaker24 already owns Rebecca herself, this sweet little doll now belongs to DollPandaLover. She just

This morning on Instagram, multiple accounts posted leaked images of Tenney Grant's collection along with Beforever items for American Girl's spring release! These photos give us a glimpse of what Tenney's world will be like; from her outfits to her accessories. But the leaks don't stop there! American Girl has stored up a few Beforever surprises for us this year, too! The following photos are found courtesy of @deenaandbeena on Instagram. ☺️ She has finally been revealed at

Felicity's rumored return is now official- her new Beforever books have been released on the American Girl Publishing Site! A while back, some people noticed a section for Felicity was on the website, but there were no books. Recently, they were added along with an advertisement for her, revealing a just bit more about this exciting colonial character! This is the cover for Felicity's first book titled Love and Loyalty, and she appears to have a new meet outfit! Felicity's ma

The long wait finally is over- take a look at Gabriela McBride, the new 2017 Girl Of The Year!! Her stock photo has been leaked, bringing excitement and joy to many people anticipating this moment. The 18 inch Gabriela doll will arrive in her signature Meet Outfit that includes a teal shirt and deep purple crop top with the words "dream" across the front, jean leggings, fashionable purple high tops, and a sporty bubblegum pink headband; making the perfect outfit for a day on

Breaking news- the first book cover for Gabriela McBride, American Girl's 2017 Girl of the Year, has leaked! Special thanks to @alexandradperrault on Instagram for letting me share this photo. :) It's finally confirmed that Gabriela will be African American! :) This is the first AA GOTY American, and I'm sure many people will be excited. By looking at the picture, it's safe to say that the actual Gabriela doll will have black, curly hair and dark brown eyes. She's wearing the

During the final days of December, American Girl always releases a silhouette, or "shadow" of the new Girl Of The Year. However this year, the silhouette for GOTY 2017 (Gabriela McBride) has leaked early! A picture was found at an American Girl Store. Photo credit to @americangirlcupcake13 Rumors have it that Gabriela McBride is the name of the new Girl of The Year, and she will be the first actual African American GOTY. American Girl stated a few months back that Truly Me #4

This just in- a cute and tropical swimsuit has been leaked! With flamingo print and 50's fashion, this swimsuit could only be for one doll- Maryellen! Yes, that right, Maryellen is finally getting a swimsuit! It's just the thing her collection is missing, and by taking a look at the style, it's safe to say that this will belong to her. Isn't this adorable? I think I have a soft spot for 50's fashion... 😳 The hair bow, the flamingo purse, the whole outfit... I'm just loving a

Hi everyone! Last month we went to the American Girl Store in Atlanta for Melody's debut. It was very exciting seeing all the new items in person for the first time and admiring the new collections. Of course, I brought my camera along, so get ready, because I've got a bunch of photos for ya'll! Let's begin. I brought Lanie, DollBaker24 brought Georgia, and DollPandaLover took Z. We entered the store and who was there to greet us but the Wellie Wishers themselves! :) This is

American Girl sure did prepare a big release for us girls this year! New things for Beforever, Truly Me, and even Bitty Baby were released on the 25th. It was so fun to look at everything in more detail, but I'm afraid my American Girl Wishlist has grown quite a bit! :P While I enjoyed seeing all of the other items, I was especially excited for Melody. :) So, today I will be sharing my thoughts on Melody Ellison and her collection with all of you! 1. Melody Doll and Accessori

She has arrived! Melody Ellison is finally here, along with her whole collection and much more! You should have seen me get up this morning when I remembered what today was. ;) I was at the computer as quick as a lightning bolt! :P Did any of you get up early too? I heard that some people stayed up until 4:00 A.M.! Anyway, Let's take a look at some of the pictures around American Girl's website. I love this picture of Melody. She looks so beautiful. :) Melody's page on Play@A

American Girl has posted sneak peeks of their Fall release on Pinterest! All of the items will be available on August 25th, the day which Melody will make her debut. This looks like a cupcake set from American Girl and William Sonoma's baking line for girls. Truly Me will be getting lots of new items, and when I say a lot, I mean it. :P There are so many cute things that I only chose a few to share with you, but AG's Pinterest has the rest if you want to check it out. The glo

How many of you were up at 6 on the morning of the the new releases? Me! :P I woke up and thought, "It's the Wellie Wisher release day!". Little did I know that along with the WW, there would be a whole batch of new Truly Me items, too. So, today I will be sharing my thoughts on American Girl's latest release. Let's begin. :) 1. Wellie Wishers: Camille, Emerson, Willia, Kendall, Ashlyn - $60 I used to think that since these dolls were made for 4-7 year olds, so I shouldn't ge

Hello! Today, American Girl released some new items for the summer, and I'm going to be sharing my thoughts and opinion on them. Let's get started, shall we? Lea's Celebration Outfit - $34 This outfit was leaked multiple times last year. I don't know if I would buy it yet, but it's growing on me. The embroidery on the hem and top is a nice feature. The headband seems a little cheap to me, but that's just my opinion. :) Lea's Beach Picnic Set - $34 This is so CUTE! I love the

American Girl has posted the trailer for Lea's movie on their youtube channel! The title is Lea To The Rescue, unlike the leaked title which was rumored to be Lea Leads The Way. The movie is avaible for pre-order on Amazon, and will be sold on June 14. The description for the movie says... Born for adventure, Lea Clark heads deep into the Brazilian rainforest, where her most exciting story awaits. When Lea's brother, Zac, goes missing while studying the ecology in South Amer

Melody's stock photos for the doll and peplum dress were leaked on American Girl! Oh, she's so cute! :) This photo looks like it was edited- I don't know if the colors will be this bright on the actual outfit. Many people are wondering if some kind of comb or hair accessory is included with the outfit to make Melody's hair fluffier on top. What do you think? I hope so- it's so 60's! -American Girl Doll Crafter #americangirlmelodyellisonrecordingstudio #MelodyEllisononTV #Melo

This morning, pictures of Melody and her collection were shown CBS! Melody's Mini Doll is right by the book. She has the Sonali face mold! :D I wonder why she doesn't have dimples... The items that might be included in Melody's Accessories are a hat, purse, sunglasses, and a civil rights pin for her dress. "Melody is representative of arguably one of the most important periods for African Americans in U.S. history. Responding to why the character is only being introduced now

Tomorrow morning on CBS, American Girl's Melody Ellison doll will be revealed! Oh, I'm so excited! I have a feeling that American Girl might go ahead and sell Melody, but her world will arrive this summer. I can't wait! I won't be able to watch, but I'm sure I could find a video of it somewhere. ;) -American Girl Doll Crafter #MelodyEllison #Melody #americangirlmelodyellison #americangirlmelodyellisondoll #americangirlmelodyellison18inchdoll #americangirlmelody #americangirld

American Girl has new items for girls inspired by Z.Crew from their Youtube channel! I'm suprised they weren't released with the other Spring things; the Z.Crew items just appeared today on Americangirl.com. Z's signature shirt ($24) is available for girls, but there's not one for dolls yet. DollPandaLover LOVES it! :) I think it's kinda cute, too. This was interesting to me... It's a USB Flash Drive ($15). It holds things like digital files and videos. This would be useful w

What did you think of American Girl's new Spring releases? I thought it was very fun, fresh, and interesting. Everything made me want to have more warmer weather. :P Today, I'm going to be sharing with you My Thoughts on the new items. Let's get started! 1. Spring Breeze - $32 This dresh has a very fresh and spring-y feel to it. DollBaker24 and I really like it! I think we'll both be saving up for it. ;) It's neat how the layer of tulle can be taken off or left on, and the s
