Hello everyone! This is Stephanie from Child's Play. If you just left
Colleen's page, you're in the right place! As you know, Child's Play is doing a shout out to our favorite toys for this blog hop. I was a Barbieaholic growing up. You name it, I owned it....all except the Dream House. So I desperately wanted girls when I grew up to continue my love of all things Barbie. Well....I got something better. Not only did I get 2 little girls to play with, but also a new toy that fulfilled my love of dress up and hair to brush; the American Girl Doll. I hate to admit it, but I'm pretty sure my husband and I could have bought a used car for the amount of money we've spent on American Girl dolls, clothes, accessories, trips to the store.....This picture is of my daughter getting her doll Kaya for Christmas a few years back. I wish she didn't take out Kaya's braids, but she has had a blast playing beauty shop with her brushing her long black hair. They may be pricey, but American Girl has truly been a joy for my children! Once again, thank you for visiting my blog. As a thank you, I have a little "Christmas Cheer" to spread. If you leave a message on my blog, a random winner wil be selected. Your next stop on this blog hop is Adele at dleebug.wordpress.com/ so make sure to check out her wonderful design! Thanks for checking out my blog, and I sure would love it if you started following me! Have a wonderful holiday season and thanks for playing along with
Child's Play Challenge!

ReplyDeleteThank you Mary Pat! I miss talking to you....How have you been?
DeleteBeautiful LO and your little gal and her fav doll are precious! Love the soft colours you used.
ReplyDeleteI had a little doll almost like that with a pretty blue dress but it wasn't an American Girl doll back then, although it did come from the USA. I still have her. Thank you for the memory jog! :)
What an adorable photo! Love that Christmas line too. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loved American Girl dolls too. She has a few, with the stuff.
What a great story. I loved barbies too. The expression on her face is awesome. Really cute page
ReplyDeleteA sweet photo and great layout. I loved Barbies too.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this and the overall design too, especially the candy trail! I had boys so never had the joy(?) of experiencing American Girl dolls. Oh well...there have been other toys...
ReplyDeleteI'm so hoping my daughter (3 yo) develops a love of American Girls when she's older. I remember reading those books to my little sister and looking over the catalogs when I was growing up, always wishing for a Kristen doll...
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your layout and the overall design. The layering of papers behind the photo are great, and everything works to immediately draw your eye to the photo. Love it!
A precious layout....love the soft colors & sweet photo! I loved my Barbies and handed them down to my youngest daughter!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet layout!!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteGosh that is such a cute picture! I love the expression on your daughter's face!!! I know about spending a fortune on dolls...my daughter collects Monster High Dolls!!
ReplyDeleteNo America Girl dolls in this household but it sure sounds like they filled a special place in your girls hearts. Great happy, sunny page.
ReplyDeleteI loved American Girls when I was a kid. They were pretty new when I was 10 or so. Only the original 3. I LOVED Kirsten!
ReplyDeleteMy girls have the generic version of the American Girls and my mom has collected and made so many clothes and shoes and accessories for them. They have a whole bin under their bed full. They are also into dollhouses right now! Your LO is precious and I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteA great layout - thanks so much for sharing. I love the more muted Christmas colours you used in the pattern paper; it really pops that awesome photo! (count your blessings she only undid the braids - my sister and I cut all our dolls hair off to the scalp - yikes! my dad stopped buying them and stuck with stuffies)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet layout! Our girl loves American Girls too! Your candy trail is awesome!Love it!
