Build-A-Bear Clothes for Ariel + a Photoshoot!

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting in awhile. For my brothers birthday, which was November 21st, we went to the Build-A-Bear store in the Brandon mall(I live in Florida in case you did not know). I had found out previously when I got her that Ariel fits in Build-A-Bear clothes. I got a few outfits for her there. I went there specifically wanting to try on the Anna dress(Build-A-Bear has for the holidays an Anna and Elsa bear and an Olaf stuffy!) Here is the photoshoot!

 First, the Anna dress.

 Here is Ariel in it! I braided her hair in pigtails braid. She looks so cute!

Here is a close-up on the top part of the dress.

Here is a look at the collar around Ariel's neck.

 Here is the skirt. This dress is so much like Anna's in the movie!

BOOTS! (They are AG)

Here she is now with the cloak. The cloak is has velcro on it so you have the choice to wear it or not.

Here is a look at the hearts on the cloak and the design on the front part.

This is how long the cloak is on Ariel. Perfect length! (Here you can see that the boots don't really fit her. They fit her foot but her legs are to chubby to zip them up!)

 Here is a look at the cute ruffle on the cloak.

Now, last for the Anna dress! A side-view of the dress. I tucked the dress up in her hand a little bit to make it look like she was holding it up like a princess. 

Now for the next outfit!(Hopefully I am not driving you insane!)

The next outfit is a sweater tunic top. 

Here it is on Ariel. Those leggings don't match it very well but it is to short for her to wear without. I will have to sew her a pair to match. =)

Here is a closer look at the shirt.

Here is the bow on the shirt.

Here is the print on the shirt. I love the hearts! 

The sleeve is pretty long!

Now the clothing accessory:

I got Ariel a gold jacket!

Here it is on!

The jacket is so cute!

The buttons on it are cute! (Sorry for the blurriness)

The pocket is not really a pocket. It is a decoration. But it is still cute!

The neck of the jacket is a little big around her neck. I love the collar!

Here is how long the sleeve is.

This picture was for fun!

Now, last, but not least, a pj! 

This pj was on sale. It was leftover from Valentines Day!

Here it is on Ariel. It is really cute!

 The shorts have girls and hearts with arrows through them on them! They are adorable!

The girl on the shirt is adorable!

The sleeves are the same print as the shorts.

 The ruffle on the shorts are adorable!

How do you like the outfits? Which is your favorite? Ariel is tired out from all of this modeling! Was this post to long? I think next time I have a post this long I am going to do it as 2 parts. Thank you guys for reading!

First Doll Craft~ Make Your Dolls Colored Pencils!

Hey guys! I am posting my first doll craft! I will be showing you how to make dolly colored pencils! This craft is inspired by American Girl Fans post on how to make a #2 post.You can see that post here.

Here is Emily using her red colored pencil!

You will need:

• Toothpicks(as many as you want. 1 toothpick makes 2 pencils)
• Scissors
•  Sharpies(any colors you want!)

First, you will need to use your pair of scissors and cut the toothpick(s) in half. Try to cut them as close to half as you can!

They should look similar to this.

Take your colored Sharpie and color your toothpick handle.

 Color the tip of the "pencil". Let a space in between the handle and the tip to make it look like a real colored pencil. LET THE PENCIL(S) DRY BEFORE YOUR DOLLS HOLD IT! IF THEY HOLD IT WHEN IT IS WET, IT WILL LEAVE A MARK!!!

There you go! You just made colored pencils for your dolls! How did you like this? Please let me know in the comments because if you liked it then I will do more crafts. If you make some for your dolls, send me the photos at hopie.harman@gmail.com and I will post a post with everyone's photo! Please say a description and your name(it will be on the post). Thanks and happy crafting!

Hey guys! I hope you and your dolls had a wonderful Doll-O-Ween yesterday! I didn't have time to post the pictures of Kit and Sophie dressed up yesterday so here they are! Wait! Before I post the pictures let me tell you what they are. Kit is dressed up as a cat and Sophie is dressed up as a butterfly. I got those adorable butterfly wings from a thrift shop a few days ago. Okay, here are the pictures!

Here is a different angle of Kit sitting down with the pumpkin.

Head angle of Kit with the pumpkin.

Now a side angle of Kit with a pumpkin.

The straps are made from fabric. The wings were the perfect size.

Blogger Recognition Award!

Hey guys! I hope you all had a happy Halloween! (I will be posting pictures soon from yesterday!) Anyways, I have been awarded the Blogger Recognition Award! Small Town American Girlz nominated me! Edge of Night originally started this blogger award. You can see their post about it here. Let's get onto the rules! The rules are:

Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers.

~ I have been collecting dolls for a long time. Last year( My blogiversary is coming up!) my mom told me that I should start a doll blog. She said it would be good for me to share about my dolls with other people and get into the blog community. She helped me get set and helped me write my posts but now I do that all by myself. She told me to not worry about followers, comments, and page-views but to just have fun with it. So that is my brief story on how my blog started!

Now here are my 2 pieces of advice for new bloggers:

1. If you enjoy doing what you have been doing, keep going with it! Eventually others will see it and enjoy it like you.

2. When someone comments on a post something nice, reply to them and say thank you. :)

 Comment on each blog that you nominate so they know!

Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night. ~ We don't want the award rules getting mixed up! Lol

 Thank you for nominating me Ginny and June! I would like to nominate the following:
