AG's Newest Releases Pt. 1

Hi guys! So I know I'm a bit late on the new releases at AG, but I figured better late than never. I'm not going to talk about all of the new items today, since there are a lot, but I'll go over part 1.

Blender and Milkshake set
I actually like this set, but $24 seems like a lot for 6 pieces, considering you can get some outfits for the same price. It also seems like if I bought this set, I would hardly ever actually use most of the pieces. But, the actual milkshakes are kind of adorable :P


Christmas Eve Set
Your guess is as good as mine why American Girl would release, not only winter outfits, but a Christmas Eve set?!?! Why? It's still August! I haven't even started school! Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Again, $32 for a couple of tiny pieces? I don't understand. At least the Santa hat pretty cute.

Dining Table and Chairs
I think this one is okay. I mean, compared to other AG furniture pieces, the price is okay. I am just not a fan of the pink and blue theme. I definitely preferred the green and white of the last table. It just doesn't seem as realistic to have a pink and blue themed kitchen. 

Enchanting Winter Outfit

Like I said earlier, isn't it a bit early to release Winter items? I actually do really like this set, especially the turtle neck sweater. I could definitely see myself buying this IN THE WINTER.

Golden Sparkle Outfit
I think this outfit is cute, but it seems a bit much. The entire dress is literally covered in sparkles! I think this one will appeal more to younger girls. I don't think I would buy this one.

Gourmet Kitchen Set
I actually think this one is reasonably priced, considering all of the accessories it comes with. And the quality seems better than most AG furniture pieces. I would definitely buy this one if I wasn't broke! XD

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed me complaining about most of the new AG pieces! I am actually pretty happy with the newest release from AG. So look out for part 2, hopefully tomorrow! Bye!

Big News!

Hi! As you can probably tell from the title, I bought the eBay lot! I am so excited to customize and resell these dolls (And get to keep the other stuff he he). So here is a picture of the lot!


It comes with a JLY #22 doll, a JLY doll or a Jess doll (I can't tell from the pictures), Kanani's lounge chair, 5 outfits, and a bunch of accessories. YAY! So now let's talk customization.

I'm thinking about eye swapping the two dolls so that JLY #22 has brown eyes and Jess/JLY doll has blue eyes. I have also narrowed down the wig options:

This wig is from Beautifully Custom

This wig is also from Beautifully Custom

Also from Beautifully Custom

This one is from Britlyn Madison

So what do you think? I think they are both going to turn out great. :) I am really hoping that I can make a decent profit off of them, but I'm not 100% sure. I mean, in order to make any money, I need to sell each of them for at least $200. I hope that they turn out okay! Anyway, that's pretty much it. I'm have a dentist AND orthodontist appointment today, so I hope you guys have a better day than me. Talk to you tomorrow!

Trying to Decide...

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day today. So, I've been looking on eBay recently for a lot of multiple dolls that I can customize and resell. Well, I think I have found the lot. It has two dolls (I don't know the numbers but I believe both are Truly Me), Kanani's lounge chair, 5 outfits, and some accessories. The best part? It's only $150! I calculated it out and I should be able to make at least $175-$200. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

In other news, I have been trying to fix up some of my dolls so also let me know any techniques you have heard of to straighten their hair, clean their skin, de-frizz their hair, etc. Anyway, I will talk to you tomorrow.

Hello!

Hi everybody! My name is Alli. I am a middle school girl who loves American Girl. I currently own 12 American Girl dolls and 1 Bitty Baby, but I am in the middle of selling some of them for a collection of 6 or 7. I have tried many times before to channel my love for dolls into something I can share with others via the internet, but all of them have failed. So cross your fingers that this blog will work out! I will be posting about American Girl updates, photo shoots of my beautiful dolls, and much much more. I hope you all enjoy!
