Hey girls!
Okay, so your probably all like, where in the world have you been?
I have been busy almost nonstop for the past 3 weeks.  First family came in town, I had a week long camp, the we went out of town for 2 days, and then we went on vacation.
So, I promise posts are coming up (as I just got back from vacation and am busy unpacking), but I plan to (hopefully) create a YouTube soon, and maybe an AGDS Instagram.
What do you guys think? :)
REMEMBER, when we reach 50 followers we will have a GIVEAWAY!!!!
Thanks!

My Opinion: AG New Release ~Summer 2014~

Hey girls!
Sorry this is so late, but here's my opinion on the New Release.  New post coming tomorrow!  I was trying to post the video the other day, but it's having technical difficulties.  However, expect that soon!

So first we have the new MAG Doll.  She has light skin, wavy red hair and green eyes.  I think she's adorable, but Saige looks a lot like her.

Lots of new outfits!  Here's Isabelle's Sparkle Dress, which costs $36.  I think it's adorable, but it reminds me of Barbie.  Pink, sparkles, long flowly dress?  Yep.  If I were to get this, it would be for Sydney Lee since she loves dancing, or Mal since she is an actress and dancer.

The Coconut Cutie Outfit for $30.  I like the tutu and shoes, but other then that not a big fan of the outfit or the price.

Here we have the Starry Hoodie outfit for $30.  Let me just say, this for $30?  And I don't really like the outfit either.  The shoes are cute, but the rest is ehh.

Here we have the School Stripes Dress for $28.  I think it's cute, but honestly I don't need any more doll outfits like this ;)

Bright Stripes Outfit.  $38.  Once again, the price is a little high for just this.  $28, $30 seems more reasonable.  And does AG have a thing with stripes?

Petal's Plaid Outfit for $24.  The price is fair, and the pj's are cute.  However, I don't need any pj's :)

Oh my gosh.  I NEED THIS!  Saige and Mallory are both cheerleaders, so it would be perfect for them.  I love it so much more then the ISU Cheer Campus one or whatever.  The price is $48, not cheap, but I LOVE IT!

Skateboarding set.  $42.  One word: what?  First off, look at the skateboard.  What in the world?  It looks misshaped.  And her outfit.  Who would wear that dress while skating?

Karate Set for $38.  I already have one for build-a-bears, and that one was $10, and it came with every single belt.  This just comes with the black belt and its $38.  And the Build-a-bear one fits.

NO AGG WHY!!!  I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!  But I love so many other outfits so much.  What do I do??  This would be perfect for Caroline or Mallory, since Mal is a fashion-freak and C loves the outdoors.  It's $30, and I love the shirt and belt. :)

Bee Myself Outfit.  toooo..... yelloooowww...And shouldn't this be for Bitty Babies?

This has been here longer, but I really want this, too.  Very cute! :) $28.

This is honestly really cute, but way too pricey.  $213?  I prefer the Dreamy Daybed to this, for one it's bigger, it sleeps two dolls, and it comes with storage underneath.  And the DD (Dreamy Daybed) costs $129.

This is really cute.  It's $58, and I could really use it to store doll accessories inside.  I think I'll get it with the Dreamy Daybed, because it kind of matches and it has lots of storage, and I just love the adorable accessories!

Cute, but way too expensive. It comes with the tent and that lantern.  For $85.  The OG one comes with a tent and several camping accessories, yet it costs much less.  So if you want this, get the Our Generation one.  It might be even bigger, but it's adorable.

The Beach Chair set, which is really cute.  It's for $48, which is kinda expensive for that chair and fake food, but whatever, I don't want it.

Isabelle's Makeup Set, which is so cute!  I was going to get it for Mallory, until getting a closer look at the set.  Only a fragrance bottle, some lip gloss and a little blush tool.  I made a huge makeup set complete with eye shadow, blush and lipgloss for FREE.

Jewels Highlight set for $15. To be honest, I liked the first highlight set better. And a green highlight?

Accent Braid Clips for $15.  Cheap(ish), but I think it's much more fun to do your doll's hair.  However, I might get this for Kit or Mallory, since Kit has short hair and Mal has layers.

Doodle backpack set for $28.  It's acutally pretty cheap, compared to other stuff.  It's cute, but not something I plan on purchasing.

The earring tree for $10. Very cheap and cute! :)
So that's not all, but you can check out the whole release at the store on www.americangirl.com
Have an awesome day!

Happy 4th of July! {Photostory}

It was a hot, sunny day and the house was in chaos.  The dolls had been invited to a 4th of July party/cook-out.  Everyone was running around, getting ready, grabbing the food, and making last minute brownies.
Mallory sat at the desk in her bedroom she shared with Ruthie, which was covered in makeup, and a complete mess. 

Mallory was quickly applying some mascara when Ruthie entered.

"Mallory, what happened to our desk?  And why are there clothes covering your bed?"  Ruthie asked.  Ruthie absolutely hated messes, and she was always the most organized of the family.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" cried Mallory dramatically, throwing her arms up in the air.

"Forgot...uhh..what?" Ruthie finally asked.  "Ruthie!  Saige and I are riding on the ending float in the 4th of July parade!  And you promised to help me with my makeup!"  "Oh, yeah," said Ruthie, "I remember.  Sorry, the house is a complete mess and Kit just called me to tell me to bring the camera, but  I can't find it because her room is so messy." 

Ruthie started doing Mallory's makeup, and quickly applied some sparkly light blue eye shadow.

Next came the lipgloss.

"Tah-dah!" cried Mallory, spinning around.  "How do I look?"  "Great!" cried Ruthie, who really meant it. 

The kitchen was also a mess, as Caroline ran around looking for the hamburgers. 

"Where could they be!?" she cried.

"Aha!" she said, spotting the hamburger box on top of the fridge.  "I must have set it there earlier!"

While Caroline stacked up the food, Saige walked in.  "How do I look?"

"Fine," said Caroline, not even looking up.  Saige giggled.  "Sorry," said Caroline, "I have to bring the hamburgers to the cookout."

"Oh, I have to go!" cried Saige grabbing her dance bag, "see you later!"

Mallory followed Saige out of the kitchen.

Later, everyone was gathered at the picnic enjoying some of the delicious hamburgers and watermelon.  "Let the parade begin!" cried the announcer.  Many awesome floats came by, where the people on top through out candy and even cupcakes!

But last of all came Mallory and Saige on their float.  All the dolls clapped as loud as they could!

And the float was great!  It even had American flags on it.  Saige and Mallory threw out cupcakes!
When they made it to the end, they jumped off the float and did an awesome dance for everyone!

They both ended in their left and right splits!

Overall, the dolls had a fantastic time.  The fun wasn't over yet, though.  Next they enjoyed an awesome fireworks show!
Sorry this is late guys, I did this yesterday and it took me 2 hours to set everything up and stuff :D
Enjoy!

Submit Your Questions!

Hey girls!
So, I've been getting a few questions via email/PM/comment, and I decided it would be nice if I did a monthly thing where I answered all your questions :D  It's very easy to ask, and you can ask as many as you'd like!  Just click here to ask, or go to this link: http://www.123contactform.com/form-1023565/AGDS-Questions I will post on the 1st of every month (or around the 1st) with all that month's questions.  So, ask anyone question you want--from what editing system do you use? to what are your hobbies (me or my dolls)?  And I will answer every question, unless it's personal, rude or innapropriate. :)
Thanks!
~Hope~
P.S. Fun photostory coming on the 4th!
