I like the vest and the shoes, but the whole outfit all together clashes....in my opinion at least. And it's REALLY expensive!

25 Things American Girl Doll Fans Can Relate To!

This post is 100% from Happy House of AG. She posted it recently and I absolutely love it!!! Btw if you haven't heard of Happy House of AG click on the link above and follow her.....it's worth it :)

She put together a list of 25 things that American Girl Doll fans can relate too.

1) “What are you going to spend your birthday/Christmas money on?” . . . Dolls.

2) Hearing your grandparents talk about your dolls is actually painful. How many different versions of “American dolls” are there?

3) Constantly losing their hairbrush. I’ve had about four doll brushes in my life and I only know where one is.

4) Seeing a really cool location for a photoshoot in public, but being too embarrassed to bring your doll there.

6) Your camera dying/the weather changing as soon as you’ve finished prepping for a shoot.

7) You’re always broke because you spend your money on doll clothes/accessories as soon as you have enough.

8) Being nervous about bringing new friends to your house because they’ll see your doll collection.

9) Getting an amazing idea for a new post . . . at 1 a.m.

11) Hanging onto every weird knickknack because you might use it for a photostory some day. Do I really need this tiny rattle? No. Am I going to keep it anyway? Absolutely.

12) “I think I know more about American Girl dolls than you do, genius,” is your favorite vine. (My favorites are actually those ones about the guy who can’t find his berries, but that’s beside the point.)

13) You have plans for tons of custom dolls that you’ll never make.

14) You might have cried a little bit when Doll Diaries and Innerstar U shut down (R.I.P.).

16) You’ve spent countless hours scrolling through AGIG, drooling over all the gorgeous photographs.

17) You’ve been searching eBay for years, trying to track down that GOTY that you regret not buying.

18) Freaking out about your dolls getting silver eye whenever they get slightly wet.

19) Playing games and taking quizzes on the American Girl website was a staple part of your childhood (the pet ones were the best).

21) No matter how bad the GOTY movies are, you’re still going to watch them.

22) You have a box filled with old American Girl magazines and catalogs somewhere.

23) The first time you went to an American Girl store was a dream come true.

24) You’ll never forget how excited you were when you got your first American Girl doll.

25) No matter how old you get, your dolls will always have a special place in your heart.

Hope you enjoyed!

DIY Doll Scarf

Sorry I haven't posted a lot lately. I just got back from our family vacation :) We spent 10 days in California (visiting my oldest sister who lives out there) and then 3 days in Oregon. It was a blast!!! Anyway, so I decided to do a DIY (well sort of like a DIY) today. I haven't done one of these in forever!

So let's get right into it :)

So first you want to find a piece of material (well obviously Kara *rolls eyes* lol) You want to make sure that your material (when touching the floor) comes up to your doll's armpits, and you want the width to be 2 dolls across (from side to side) The reason why I'm not giving measurements is because they can vary with different kinds of dolls, this way you can do it on whatever doll you want.

Next you're going to want to fold the fabric in half. Also you want to choose a fabric that's not stiff. I made the mistake of choosing one that was. You want the fabric to hang loosing.

Then put it around your doll's neck and knot it

After that, you'll want to tuck the ends of the knot that stick out, under the scarf so they can't be seen

Then pull the front of the scarf down. That way it doesn't look like your doll is choking :)

And there you go! An adorable scarf for your dolls to wear :)

Hope you enjoyed :)

Let me know what you thought of this tutorial
