Dear Bloggy Friends!

Deb of Debonair Designs wrote to us about her new knitting book
project for Kidz N Cats dolls...

Here is her blog post on the project:

http://debonairdesignsblogspot.blogspot.com/2015/02/kalendar-kidz-my-new-pattern-book.html

"I am embarking on a new knitting pattern book (my 3rd) called Kalendar Kidz, designs for the slim bodied Kidz 'n' Cats dolls, (see working cover image below), however my challenge is getting my computer upgraded/rebuilt in order to support the file sizes needed to both compile and send my book to print. 

So my husband suggested I create a campaign to raise funds needed for this via a Kickstarter project that went live a couple of days ago, so I wanted to share in both my new book and my project that your readers may be interested in supporting. Thanks Deb"

We started the DW blog almost 5 years ago, and after 5 years of plugging handmade clothing and accessories, sometimes we assume that people know that Etsy is full of amazing items for American Girl dolls.

But every year, even every month, more and more girls, families, and collectors are discovering the awesome world of AG -- so we need to stay on top of our game!!!

Please check out Debonairs Designs today!

2011 Fall/Winter Doll Giveaway Starts Today! Enter Here!

There should be a subtitle to this post: "Maple Shows Off Her New Outfit." 

Maple insisted she should be included with the pictures of Lanie and her MyAG #55 clone for this post so that people could see what MyAG #55 looks like out of the box and in a different outfit. Logical, right? Well then she put on a special new outfit - once again arguing that people should know how fantastic she can look. And then she stood front and center in the photos, also arguing that people should know how photogenic she is. Needless to say, boxed Lanie and boxed MyAG #55 were a little peeved that she was stealing the limelight since the post is really more about them....

Okay, so what you really want to hear about is the doll giveaway. 

I bet that is why you visited this post. :-P

First of all, if we get 375 blog followers or 275 Facebook followers by the end of the contest we will giveaway 
two dolls instead of just one.

So if you aren't "following" us or haven't "liked" us yet 
on Blogger or Facebook -- start today!

Next important point....

The giveaway starts today and ends 
Saturday, December 17th. 

The winner will be announced December 18th.

The options for prizes are Lanie, MyAG #55, Ivy and MyAG #26. You can see more pics of these dolls below, as well as Maple hogging the pictures. Heehee.

So now here are the important details: You must be 18 years old or older to enter this giveaway. If you are younger than that please have someone 18 years old or older, like a parent or guardian, enter herself/himself. One entry per person please, but you can have other family members enter as well.

To enter, please write your full name and your email address as a comment to this post. It will not be published and only Penny will be able to see it. A winner will be drawn out of a hat, i.e. randomly picked. Only entries with a full name and an email address will be put into the hat. If you win, Penny will email that address to notify you and ask for your doll choice, and your shipping address.

We will ship to other countries (including the USA, of course). So if you live in Australia, England, Canada, and so on--- and you win--- we will ship the doll to you for free. No cost to you.

Any questions??? Please feel free to ask. :-)

And pics of Giveaway Lanie and Giveaway MyAG #55...

The MyAG #55 does have a slight "one eye bigger than the other" thing going on...


Just FYI. 
Most people don't seem to mind this phenomena, so we'll keep her in the giveaway

Pics of Maple, Lanie and MyAG #55...

Maple's hat, capelet and fingerless mitts are from Ebay seller Debonair Designs (tekay-intl). We were pointed to this store by Beast's Belle's blog. (Thank you for the info!) Her orange tank top and gold pants are from Etsy seller L'Atelier de Sitara.

Thanks for perusing this post!
