Day 12: Throw a Doll Christmas Party!

Hey girls!!  For the last day, I decided to give some ideas on throwing the perfect Doll Christmas party!

1. Invitations-Make some cute or fancy (whatever your style) invitations!  Hand them out to your dolls and include the date/time. :)

2. Decorations!-Of course, every festive party needs the perfect decorations!  Hang some ornaments and tinsel, put a doll tree up, and even hang the snowman hanging I showed how to make! :)

3. Food!-For food, use some of AG's Christmas food, but if you don't want to get that (or don't have it), local craft stores will have cute food erasers for only $1-$5!  The prices are great! :)

4. Dress Up!-Put your dolls in their Christmas or holiday outfits, and do their hair! ;) Use ribbons, bows and other "Christmas-y" 

Well, that's all!  I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve tomorrow! :) Keep checking back for a new blog post tonight!

How do your dolls celebrate?

Day 10: Doll Christmas Present Ideas

Planning on giving each of your dolls a little gift, but don't want to spend $20 each?  Here are some doll present ideas! :)

1. Check Etsy Shops-Look online to find 18" doll items being sold, I recommend Etsy.  There are great prices, and you can get presents for good deals!  

2. Make them!-Make your doll's presents!  Does your doll love books?  Make a book!  Does your doll love phones?  Make a mini iPhone for her (or an iPad)

3. Check a Dollar Store!-They have awesome items for only $0.50-$1.00!  You can find a bunch of cute items for your dolls!

Do you have any other ideas?  Leave a comment! :)

Day 6: Room Decorating Tips

Hey girls!
Every holiday season, I love to decorate my doll's room with Christmas decorations.  Trying to come up with ideas for the perfect doll Christmas themed room?  Well here are a few! :)
1. Sparkly Tinsel!
Tinsel is always a fun holiday decoration, and you can use it for your doll's room!  If you have the long tinsel (that sticks together), hang it around your doll's room.  If you have the the little strips of tinsel, take a few and stick them on a piece of tape (so they are the same length) and stick the tape in your doll's room!  Perfect! 
2. Stockings
Of course, your dolls need little stockings to hang!  You can find mini stockings for great prices at your local Dollar Store, Target or Walmart.  Then you can use little stick-on letters (or make your own) to show which doll's stocking it is!  You can also use an old baby sock for a stocking.
3. A Christmas Tree!
Small Christmas trees can be hard to find, but you can look for them at Walmart, Target or Hobby Lobby.  They are simply adorable--but of course you need some mini ornaments to hang on the tree!  Hobby Lobby has great mini ornaments--so check there!
4. Snowmen
You can make little snowmen from socks, make snowmen wall hangings or just use a stuffed animal snowman to make your doll's room look "wintery."  Put him in some "snow" (tinsel) and make a wintery scene around him!
5. Come up with your own!
There are so many ideas we haven't listed, waiting to be made by you!  So think of your own idea and make your doll's room look festive!

Rainy Day Doll Activities

Rain, rain, rain.  Rainy days can be snug and cozy, but it can also stink, right?  For example, looking forward to that awesome blog post you were going to do about a doll camping trip?  Or that photostory about the great outdoors?  Then the next day you wake up to see rain pouring down the windows.  But, of course, there are many doll activities you can do inside, rather then out! ;)

1: Give your doll a cute hairstyle!  Whether it's twists, braids, buns, ponytails or twirls, you can take the time to sit down and do it! :) That's one of the good things about rainy days!

(Side picture ;))

2: Reorganize your doll room!  Move around beds, closets, toys, or clothes!  You can make it look awesome!

3: Put some cute posters up!  In this picture, it shows above Mallory's bed with the Hug a Pug picture from the latest American Girl magazine!

4: Take some fun pictures!  In this picture, I was trying different angles, but I love this picture!  Those shoes (from Felicity's Holiday Gown) look perfect with Saige's Meet Dress! :)

or 5: Make your own post with even MORE ideas of a Rainy Day Doll Activity post! 

Hope you enjoyed my ideas, and I look forward to posting more, maybe even a special spooky one soon ;)

What do your dolls do on rainy days?

Happy Halloween!
