Tada! We finally shipped the Fall 2010 Doll Giveaway prize package! Hurrah!
Included in the box was: MyAG #41 (Emma Grace), the Star Hoodie JLY Meet outfit she came in, the new MyAG meet outfit, the Liberty Jane grey jeans and purple logo shirt, a Fun with your Doll book, some fun hair ribbons, the holiday doll-sized teddy bear in a little reusable box, and an Innerstar U charm necklace with Innerstar U virtual world online access! Woot! We even included three charms for the necklace!
Aren’t we great?! *Pats selves on backs.
So we decided today that doing giveaways is fun and they would be a great way to celebrate American Girl’s 25th Anniversary next year. Everyone is getting really excited about what is in store for us next year. What does AG have planned? New dolls? New items? Bringing dolls out of the archives? What? What? What?!
Now it is fun to be hopeful, but AG does weird things occasionally (all the time) and we might not see the big fanfare that everyone is expecting. And this would make us sad. :-(
Hence, we decided to make our own fanfare. For all twelve months of 2011 we will be doing little giveaways: a tee shirt, an activity kit, a doll tee and tote, etc. etc.- one per month. And these will be in addition to our three seasonal doll giveaways. So 15 giveaways in total in 2011!
Not to be annoying, but if you are a seamstress/shop owner and would like to donate an item for our 25th Anniversary Giveaways, please let us know in the comments below! We have several things for the giveaways already, but they are not all handmade items. So feel free to speak up if you want to be featured in these giveaways. :-)
Well it is typically the Monday before the week of Christmas that everyone starts panicking that they haven’t bought gifts yet. 12 Days left! Ahhhhhh!
So today we decided to help you out a little. Perhaps you are looking for a gift for your doll or the doll lover in your family, but you aren’t sure what to get? This week we wanted to just point out some fun stuff that is currently available on Etsy (as of me writing these posts) that might make great gifts! So everyday we will point out some items- click on the images to go to the listings.

First... Beach chair. It's cold outside. The beach chair reminds us of warmer days. Haha. We have one of these in red for Katie, Connie and Noelle... still haven't blogged about it because we are slow-- but it is really fun and it can come in a variety of colors. And it might be nice for Kanani if you plan on getting her.
A trundle bed with all the bedding trimmings... we don't have one of these, but it looks awesome and very practical...
Princess and the Frog Dress... We love Enchanted Designer-- this shop has a ton of great costumes...
Holiday Peasant Top from Doll Closet... this shop is full of fun, affordable clothing, some with a holiday or winter theme...
A fantastic Winter Outfit from Terristouch... a shop full of wonderful modern and historical doll clothing...
A Rock and Roll Outfit from All Things Brandy... something really unique and fun....
And.... a beautiful gown for your colonial girl from Aloha Girl Doll Clothes... she has a lot of great historical clothing in her shop including several colonial dresses...

I love dollcloset and EnchantedDesigner! Their things are so pretty (at least from the pictures I've seen). And as for the bed, I saw a similar one on eBay, except it was a triple bunk bed (but the bedding looks the same).s
Yeah, the bed shop sells bunk beds and triple bunk beds on Etsy as well but they are all out for the season. They currently only have single beds and trundle beds left. They also sell couches, but those are gone until after the holidays as well. They have really cool looking stuff and obviously it is very popular. :-)
Do you know the name of the Etsy shop that sells the beds?

Yay!! Emma Grace shipped today! And with so many extra goodies, too! I can't wait till she gets here...that is if my hubby decides to share her. I guess I'd better go finish the laundry! ;) Thanks so much, Nora!! :)
Great gift ideas, too. I love Enchanted Designer's work. I hadn't found some of the other Etsy sellers you mentioned, yet. I'll have to go look them up now! :)
Yay! I've been wanting to donate an item for a giveaway for the longest time! Here is a link to my Etsy shop.

I mostly do historicals - I am very proud of my knockoff of Molly's Rt. 66 dress, but really, selling AG clothes is actually a way to justify my serious fabric addiction. I can do modern outfits too, I just don't have any in my Etsy shop at the moment.
And I am very excited for AG's 25th! I think we started getting their catalogs around '87 so I have loved American Girl for a LONG time.

Excitement! I, Rachel Noel, am myself planning to open a fun little Etsy shop with handmade things in 2011! I planing to become a premium partner with Liberty Jane Clothing, but I have also whipped up a few fun patterns of my own for things such as accessories! But, of course, I love supporting other Etsy & Ebay hand-makers, so we will also still be getting lots of things from their shops! I especially love that set from what you call "All Things Brandy" Is that an Etsy shop? Just wondering.....;) That bedding set is adorable also, but I'm all ready planning to purchase some things from Quietude Quilts in the New Year!
Sincerely,
Rahcel Noel, Emmie's Edition
P.S. from Rachel Noel;) OMG! I love the Rt. 66 Dress from The Embellished Life! I'm planning on getting Kit for the New Year & I think it would suite her also! I love your work Joni!
Sincerely,
Rachel Noel, Emmie's Edition

Rachel Noel- Yes, All Things Brandy is an Etsy shop. Click on the photo to go to the listing and visit zee shop. We can't wait to see what you start making in 2011-- sounds very exciting! Do you have any photos of things you have made before?
Awesome! Silly me! I didn't even realize the photos were click-able! haha OMG! You guys are interested in my things!(*Faints*) Yes, I do! I've been making things since I got my first A.G. doll years ago! Some of my most recent projects have been Christmas gifts for my friends & family, but thankfully I took photos! How can I get them to you?

Love, love, love the winter outfit. Thanks for sharing.
In addition to the robe and blanket ensemble, I would also like to offer my new style of jeans. These jeans don't have elastic in them and no "plumbers crack" either. I will send you a few pair after the holidays.
Terrie
Thanks Terrie! That would be great! Oh and if we could get a pink set for the robe that would be great for the first doll giveaway... we will write you an email reply about that now... sorry we forgot to answer that email!
I'd love to donate something too ... perhaps some of my Pippi DollStockings or tights? Should I email you or do you want to convo me thru Etsy?
Cher (SewFunDollClothes/Etsy)
That sounds great Cher! Thank you! I will convo you through Etsy!
Hello from one of Santa's elves at Wood Shack Studio, maker of the beach chair. I have a chair to donate for your giveaway. Convo me on Etsy and I'll send one your way.
