Help!!!

Hey guys! I need some help, I have a $25 Sears giftcard from my birthday that I don't know what to spend on! Here are some choices:

This is Lily, she's an 18 inch Newberry doll. She's $29.99

Here's Brooklyn, another 18 inch Newberry doll, Brooklyn is nice, but I want a doll who smiles xD She's $29.99

This is a swim team Barbie. Though I'm not as much into Barbies as I used to be, I still really like them (and have about 30 of them...don't call me spoiled, about 25 of them were from yard sales for 50 cents) and the fact that this one is a swimmer (and can actually swim! The dog can too!) kind-of draws me in, I'm taking swimming lessons and I think she would be fun to have! She's $29.99

I find Lalaloopsys so cute! I will either get this or make one from MyFroggyStuff's easy tutorial (http://myfroggystuff.blogspot.ca/2011/12/shhh-she-is-made-out-of-socks.html) She is $29.99

I LOVED BRAVE!!! The only problem is this doesn't really look that much like Merida. She's $29.99

Here are the pros and cons:

Lily:

Pros: She's so cute! Also I love her outfit and she doesn't look like any of my dolls!

Cons: Hmm...I would have to get her a bed. And I don't really have room for another bed. So I would probably keep her on a doll stand on my shelf at night. Plus I'm unsure about her hair. UPDATED: I cleaned a TON under my loft bed yesterday afternoon and I've got enough room for her bed and even some more furniture!

Brooklyn:

Pros: Pretty cute!

Cons: She doesn't smile.

Barbie:

Pros: A swimmer! She can actually swim! I love her goggles!

Cons: $29.99 for a Barbie?! In the words of Lotso Huggin' Bear, "She's a Barbie doll Ken, there's a hundred million just like her," Yeah, I'm not spending $29.99 on another blond, blue-eyed Barbie, when I'll eventually find a used one for 50 cents.

Lalaloopsy:

Pros: So cute!!!

Cons: She's kind-of expensive. Plus I could easily make my own.

Merida:

Pros: I love Brave!

Cons: Doesn't look that much like Merida. Expensive too.

What do you guys think?! My mom thinks that I don't have room for another 18 inch doll so I'm going to have to try and find space...I need help!



Soooo Sorry.

Hey guys!!! Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth! I've been SUPER DUPER busy lately, and too lazy to make a post telling you no posts for a while... :( Well anyways, I'll be getting back into schedule! And I was wondering, would you guys like me to have a scheduled day to do a post such as a spotlight on one of my toys day? Comment below and tell me what you want! Do you know Doll Diaries's Doll Of The Day feature? It would be sort-of like that, except no printable, I was thinking maybe every Friday! Or I could switch it up and do different stuff each week! Or have a schedule like spotlight, craft, photo story, spotlight, craft, photo story. You get the point! Comment and tell me what you think!!! By the way, go enter a Doll Diaries giveaway here! :D

What I Think Of Sonali and Gwen!!!

Hi! Today I'm doing Sonali and Gwen! Look below for a WITO on Chrissa!

Gwen is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!!!!!!! I love her cute white and pink dress, her sandals, and her face and hair! I love Gwen, but as she looks a lot like Julie, I probably won't be getting her! Because I really want Julie!!!

I actually like Sonali a bit better then Gwen! I LOVE her dark brown waves and her pretty face! And her meet outfit is sooooo cute!!!!! That book looks like a lot of fun, Sonali is probably on the list of dolls I want!!!

Overall I give Gwen a A-, only because she's a bit un-original, and Sonali an A+!

Next up: Saige!



What I Think Of Chrissa Maxwell!!!

Thanks to NatKaya, Nina, and Toygirl02 for suggesting Chrissa! (Note: All pictures from AG Playthings!)
From AG:

Chrissa Maxwell is American Girl’s 2009 Girl of the Year. Chrissa Maxwell and her family have just moved to live with her grandmother, Nana. When Chrissa starts at her new school, she is greeted with icy silence by the "Mean Bees." But with her new friends Sonali and Gwen, Chrissa learns to speak out against bullying.

I LOVE CHRISSA! She actually looks A LOT like me! I'd definitely like to get Chrissa sometime!!! 

AWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!! STARBURST IS SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want him!

I LOVE THIS!!! Chrissa looks so pretty in this!!! I would definitely want this if I had Chrissa!

OMG!!!!!!!! It's a PINK picnic table!!!!!!!!! This is soooooooo cute!!!!!!! :)

I ADORE THIS!!!!!! I really, really want it! I take swimming class every Monday night and I am loving it! This would be so much fun! Definitely going to look for it on eBay!

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want it a lot! And that little IM-Me is soooooo cute!!!!!!

I like this, but I don't think it really looks like pajamas! It's really cute though!

OH.MY.GOSH. IT'S A SEWING MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE CUTEST PIECE IN CHRISSA'S COLLECTION!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE the sewing machine, table, bowl, knitting needles, yarn, sketch book, spools of thread, pincushion, tape measure, caddy, scissors, and pencils!!!!!!!!! 

This is soooooo cute!!! I love the detail! It's so realistic! I would definitely like to have this someday!!!

I LOVE snow tubes!!!!!! This set would be so much fun!!! And those snowshoes are adorable! She would look so cute in the hat and mittens!

Overall Chrissa definitely gets an A+! I love her collection and would like to get her someday, she looks so much like me it's freaky!
