Dollidays Countdown Day 11: Festive Feast

 DIY Foods For a Festive Feast

Here's some DIYs themed to what your dolls would "eat" for their Christmas dinner.

DIY Thanksgiving Foods by American Girl (The tutorials for mashed potatoes, green beans (could get creative with them to make green bean casserole), and ham are perfect for Christmas.)

DIY Thanksgiving Foods by Totally Rudy (There's another way to make green beans here.)

DIY Thanksgiving Foods by Always Dolls (Yup, another way to make green beans, but also another mashed potatoes tutorial.)

DIY Xmas Ham by Always Dolls (Another tutorial for ham)

I know it's a short list, but it's got some of the most important parts of a Christmas feast:

1. A Christmas Ham

2. Potatoes

3. Green Beans (Which usually, in my experiences, end up being green bean casserole)

More ideas of my own:

1. Make a fruitcake with brown clay and beads for the fruit.

2. Take a little plastic doll sized "glass" and use a common doll sized drink tutorial (a cottonball + caulk) and use a light yellow paint to make eggnog

If you could only wear one Halloween costume the rest of your life, what would it be?

A Cat.

Would you ever go to a graveyard at night?

NO.

Would you rather go to a Halloween Party or go Trick or Treating?

Trick or Treating, because I like candy. But I don't want to do it alone.

I'm definitely the one that gets sacred. 

What was your first costume?

My first costume was Minnie Mouse.

What is your costume this year?

I'm not sure yet.

What is your dream Halloween costume/costumes?

Anna, Ariel, Kim Possible, Roxanne, Jessie, and Giselle.

If you could be a Halloween pet (Black Cat, Owl, Bat, Rat, Wolf) what would you be? 

A black cat.

I really like Hocus Pocus and Girl vs Monster.

Only when it comes to normal superstitions, like no opening umbrellas indoors or breaking mirrors.

Do you get scared easily?

No, I don't.

I love my Witch costume, so I would choose that.

Would you ever go to a graveyard at night?

Countdown to Doll-oween Day 4: Halloween Q&A #1

A Halloween Q&A

with the Human! ♥

*I was gonna do a photo story for this, but things are kind of in the way of my doll area to do so. I will definitely add a couple photos to the final day though hopefully. So here's a Halloween themed Q&A w/ the Human ❤!*

What is your favorite Halloween song?

 " This is Halloween " from the Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family Theme Song, and Thriller. Although also Monster Mash and Ghostbusters. 

What is your favorite Halloween movie/movies?

Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, All the Halloweentown movies, Girl vs Monster, Zombies & Zombies II, and the Nightmare Before Christmas. 

Name something you wouldn't want to run into in a dark forest or abandoned building. 

This is hard. Probably a real wolf, because that'd be bad. 

What is your favorite Halloween Monster?

I don't know if they are considered a Halloween Monster, because they aren't monsters, but ever since I watched Disney Channel Original Movie Zombies 2, I really like werewolves. 🐺

Are you superstitious?

Yes, but it depends on the superstition, but my family is very superstitious.

Do you get scared easily?

Yes, very easily. 

Would you ever go to a graveyard at night?

I actually have, during a Ghost Tour, and I would definitely do it again. 👻

Would you rather go to a Halloween Party or go Trick or Treating?

As much as I like candy, I love Halloween Parties, especially if there's a costume contest.

Are you the one that gets scared or does the scaring?

The one who gets scared.

What was your first costume?

The first costume I ever had for Halloween that I can remember is Blue from Blue's Clues. I've also been a Doctor, Witch, Black Cat, Tiger, Belle, Cinderella, Snow White, Minnie Mouse, The White Rabbit, Mary Poppins, Elsa, Zero from the Nightmare Before Christmas, a mouse, and Miss Piggy. 

What's your costume this year?

I'm undecided between a Witch, a Day of the Dead Skeleton, or Addison Wells from Zombies, or something DIY. I love a costume I can make from my own clothes, a wig, and some simple DIYed or bought props/accessories. 

What is your dream costume/costumes?

Probably anything Disney, or Morticia from the Addams Family.

If you could be a Halloween pet (Black Cat, Owl, Bat, Rat, Wolf) what would you be?

I think I would be either a Black Cat or a Wolf, because I like cats and dogs.

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and stay tuned for Lily's and Ellie's!

-The Human ❤

My first AG Haul!

I'm so excited to have done my first American Girl haul thanks to their Last Chance clearance section. Here's what I got

1: 12 Days Until Christmas Set

I was super excited when I saw the Nutcracker themed Christmas countdown was for sale. This was one of the main reasons I did this haul. I won't be opening it until Christmas of course. I'll give a full review of it then!

2: Doll Decades Craft Book

This is the second reason I did the haul. It's the final craft kit I didn't have yet and I'm very happy about getting it. It has crafts themed to different eras starting at the 1890's and ending at 2010's. It has punch-out crafts such as a smartwatch, laptop, and fancy hand fan. It also includes really cute light blue glasses, a diner order pad, and a fold-out dance floor.

3: Fringe Vest

I think this was probably part of last year's summer Mix n Match set. It's a cute coral colored lacey vest with fringe that would look good with lots of outfits for summer.

4: Purrfectly Warm Winter Accessories

I know this was definitely part of last winter's Mix n Match Set. When I first saw it I knew I wanted it and I'm happy to finally have it. It's black fingerless mittens with silver hearts and super-cute matching cat ear earmuffs with silver glitter on the ears. 😻

5: Sea Breeze Top

This was from the same set as the Fringe Vest. It's a light blue tank top with a ruffled part at the top, perfect for summer.

6: Seashell Lace Tank

Another part of the set with the previous tank top and fringe vest. This is a light pink tank with lace at the top.

7: Set of 10 Hangers

I just really needed more hangers. It's necessary when you have a lot of doll clothing, and these were basically $1 each! Also they're made to also hang up a skirt or pants on them too. One thing I did notice is some other brands and handmade pants, etc don't stay on very well.

8: Starry Sunglasses

Lily and Ellie actually don't have a lot of sunglasses or glasses in general. These are sunglasses that are light blue with pink stars on the sides.

9: AG Swim Accessories for Dolls

It's a soft white swim towel with pink stars & American Girl embroidered on it that has an attached bag, a readable summer themed magazine, plastic translucent pink star print water bottle, and a pink polka dot sunscreen bottle. It's summer after all! This set had clear elastic bands holding the water bottle & sunscreen on the cardboard, which I kept to help my dolls hold them, since unlike newer sets they don't have handles.

10: Stripes & Dots Swimsuit

I got the black, pink and white striped and polka dot swimsuit to go with the sunglasses and swim set. Lily and Ellie didn't have a swim suit yet for summer photoshoots. I think Ellie might have claimed this one though.I

It's made of a swimsuit material and the top zips in front and bottoms have elastic waistband.

Since I don't have an AG doll yet, I was curious how it'd fit on my OG doll, Ellie. It doesn't look the same as it probably would on an AG doll but still fits easily.

I do have one last thing that isn't coming until later on. The thank you heroes nurse outfit. It's going to be perfect for some Photostories I have planned. I also have a Tenney Grant Bracelet making set that came yesterday that I'll review soon.  I'm excited to use some of the charms for Ellie's changeable charm necklace. 

My final thoughts.

I know it's not AG's fault, just the shipping company's, but my package arrived late. (Was supposed to be Wednesday, came on Sunday.) 

I will give five stars for the packaging itself. The two shirts, swimsuit, sunglasses & vest were on cardboard and in plastic. They were easy to remove from the cardboard, unlike other brands who use thread & plastic ties to hold things on. The Swim Accessories were also on cardboard in plastic but the water bottle and sunscreen were held in by elastic, which wa was easy to remove. The winter accessories were in plastic and in a box.

Packaging - ★★★★★

Quality - ★★★★★

Price - ★★★★★ (Although they were on sale after all!)

Does it work with other dolls? So far, yes, the clothes fit Our Generation dolls, and should fit Madame Alexander since they're skinnier than OG. I don't have a My Life As doll but I feel like the clothes would be big on them? Not sure.

You can find most of the stuff on the Last Chance clearance section except I don't see the swimsuit on it anymore so that might be sold out. If you're on the website and tap the three lines to open categories Last Chance is right under Sale.

Stay tuned for my review of the Tenney Grant craft kit!

Day 3: A sneak peek at my next project...

I am creating a wintery Christmas themed room with an outdoors and indoors area. But it will also be themed to a movie that came out recently...
