Hello everyone! I recently started a new blog called The Bright Bookcase it’s a book blog that I’ve started and I’d be so happy if you checked it out!! 🙂 I only have a 1 post up now but I’ll be actively posting on that one a lot more. I’m slowly transitioning over to that blog from here. I probably won’t post as often on here anymore. I promise I’ll still post a little but most of it will be done on my new blog.
Have a wonderful day,
Rose ❤
I’m sorry I’ve been gone for so long. I have lots of big plans for this summer and this blog so don’t leave yet. I’m going on a little break till summer; around the middle of June is when I’ll start posting again. I have a lot going on and once I finish up school I’ll be all ready to take on the blogging world again. I will still try to post on my personal blog. So be ready for that. 😉

Hello everyone!! I’m another post with Ellie… oops! She was already dressed and ready for pictures.. soo.. 😛 Anyways tomorrow is my birthday and I got to open 1 present early and it was this absolutely adorable Eleven dress for AG dolls. I love the show Stranger Things were the dress is from and I was SO excited to get this. I’ll be doing a review of it soon.
The back has even the BOW! 
Sorry for the quick post. Just wanted to share this with you guys!! 😀

Hello everyone! I know the winter is almost over but I still wanted to get the winter edition of my doll house tour done. 🙂 Every season I’ll be doing one of these so you can see the different ways we decorate for the holidays/seasons. Enjoy!
(Sorry for the kinda bad quality of the photos, I used my Iphone)
Here is the general overview of the house. I’ve shrunk it down by a lot since last year.
Next stop is the kitchen which is actually the OG Camper. Occasionally I’ll use it as a bedroom as well because the sofa pulls out.
Inside the fridge you can see a beautiful plethora of yummy treats.
And of course Cookie!
Here’s the microwave cabinet with an extra stool in case guests come over.
Next to that is the wardrobe area which stores some of the clothes and shoes.
And the little kitty bed.
This area is where Ellie, Sam, and Marisol all sleep.
The top bunk is Marisol’s bed which needs some re-decorating.
And then we have Ellie’s bunk complete with Rembrandt.
Sam’s bed.
On Sam’s nighttable we have everything she needs doll, glasses, gum, lotion, water.
And the 2nd part of the house.
Under the desk we have our bookshelf with (some) of the books in the dollhouse including KOTLC, Harry Potter, and other AG Classics. 😛
Then we have Emily’s night table which is a disaster.
Here’s Emily and Molly’s room.
And then Kristen’s room in the corner. 😀
Thanks for joining me for our little tour. 🙂 Have a lovely day!

Hello everyone! I’ve had many ideas for posts but none of them could make 1 full post. So instead I present the random post full of awesomely random stuff!
It was very hard to take these… so that’s why theres so few.
I can’t believe it we hit 140 followers! It’s so exciting, thank you so much! I can’t believe it!! Thank you so so so much!
We’ve been nominated for some tags!
Rules
Thank you so much for nominating me Madison she has a totally amazing doll blog!
It started in 2015…
When I was making an ice rink for my dolls and I needed tickets for the show. My mom found the blog Doll Diaries and I started reading their stuff and I became inspired to make my own blog. I set up my blog June 1st, 2015. Then from there I kept going and now I’m at 140 followers and still going. 😀
Don’t look at the follower count! If you enjoy blogging the followers will come. I was always comparing how blogs started at the same time as me got more follows. I didn’t understand, I wanted to know how I could be better. I later found out that when you look and stress over how many followers you have you lose sight of what’s fun in blogging. So do YOU make sure the blog follows your passions and not what you think is gonna get you tons of followers.
Have your own voice. When blogging make sure their are little things that are unique to your blog whether it be your dolls personalities, your design, but the most unique thing should be you. Don’t try to copy someone else’s blogging style just do you and everything will work out. And make sure your not copying someones post if you see someone post a photostory about a cake baking disaster or something don’t go and try to re-create their post.

Hello everyone!! I’ve finished my blog revamp and I really like the look of it. I changed up the whole style. I never got around to re-doing the dolls profiles but I can change those later. 🙂 The theme I’m now using is Button which I really like. Anywho, I’ve been nominated by Happy House of AG to do the Blue Sky Tag! 🙂 Thanks so much!! 🙂
1. Who was the first doll that you got (doesn’t have to be AG)?
I got Jane who is my Bitty Baby as my first doll.
2. What’s your favorite American girl?
I absolutely love Kanani! I’ve been wanting to get her on Ebay for a while. She’s such a beautiful doll and I love her stories.
3. If you could design anything for American Girl what would it be?
I would totally design a Girl of the Year. It would be so much fun to pick out her story and design the doll.
4. How did you learn about American Girl?
My cousin gave me her Samantha doll when I was 6 or 7 and after that I got more clothes and eventually more dolls.
5. What’s your favorite AG pet?
It has to be Starburst, which is Chrissa’s llama. She is one of my first AG pets. I love her so much!
6. What’s your favorite item AG sells?
I love pretty much everything AG sells but these are some of my favorites from the new release!
7. What 18 inch doll brand do you like to buy from?
American Girl overall has the best quality. I also like to buy from Our Generation they have really cute clothes that are good quality.
8. Who’s your favorite AGTuber?
I don’t watch any AGtube. I used to do some myself though. 😉
9. Who’s your favorite Beforever character?
Kit is my absolute favorite doll! I’ve wanted her for a long time, she’s so adorable!
10. What’s your favorite thing to do with your dolls?
I love to photograph them and I also still play with them. My friend will come over and we’ll play AG together. 🙂
11. What’s your favorite type of doll related post?
I love photostories, they’re so much fun to write. I haven’t done one in a while but I hope to do some more soon.
I nominate anyone who’s favorite doll is Kanani or Kit!
Thanks so much for reading everyone and have a lovely day! 🙂

Hello everyone! To start the 2018 blogging year off I’ve decided to totally revamp the WHOLE blog which means updating profiles, creating new graphics, maybe a new theme, and so much more!! 🙂 For roughly the next 2 weeks or so I’ll be doing this so no new posts until then!
If you have any theme suggestions please comment below! 🙂
Bye,
Hello everyone as you know AG just released the GOTY for 2018 and she is adorable. Today I will be overviewing her collection and my thoughts on it.
Luciana Doll and Book – $115
She is the most adorable doll. I love her. Her dress is super cute! I love her choker and boots. I’m not the biggest fan of the fanny pack I don’t think it really matches. I also love how she has a purple streak in her hair.
Luciana’s Accessories – $25
I don’t like her accessories very much. It seems like a lot of paper and something you could easily make yourself. I think her backpack is really cute and the astronaut ice cream is a cute touch.
Space Center Accessories – $20
I love this set only because I want a NASA t-shirt for my dolls All the other stuff I could really do without.
Stellar Outfit – $34
This is my favorite thing in her collection. I love the jacket with the patches and the shoes are such a fun print. The only thing I don’t really like is the shirt but I may get this outfit.
Robotic Dog – $35
This is such a fun take on the regular pets the girls have. I think it’s slightly overpriced though considering some of AG’s animals are only 20 or 25 dollars.
Mar Habitat – $350
This is such a cool set. It’s so cool! I don’t have the money to buy something like this but it is such a cool thing.
Flight Suit – $28
I don’t have much need for this in my collection. I think it’s cute though.
Luciana’s PJs – $24
These are super cute. I love the leggings, I didn’t actually think these were PJ’s the first time I saw them. I think they could definitely think they could be used as a regular outfit.
Creation Station – $100
This set is also super cute. I love how they included actual legos that’s so fun. I feel that the set is a little overpriced for what it is. I’ll probably try to recreate it sometime though.
Telescope Set – $40
This set is so cute!! I love the telescope the print on the blanket is cute as well.
So that’s all of Luciana’s collection! I’m really excited about her stuff in her collection and will be most likely purchasing a few of the outfits. 🙂
What are your thoughts on Luciana’s collection?
Have a lovely day,
Rose ❤
Happy New Years Day everyone! 🙂 Today is the first day of 2017, and I’m super excited to be starting the new year. Today I’ll be sharing with you the blogging goals I have for the 2018 year.
I’ve tried at least 7 different series over the past few years and all of them have failed. This year I really want to get one down.
Right now we’re at 135 we can totally make it.
I haven’t really had a consistent blogging schedule so let’s try it… 😛
I feel like all I do are photoshoots. I want to do more photostories, reviews, and DIY’s this year.
So those are all my goals for the blogging year! Anyway now onto the stats.

Only 3 more days till Christmas!! 🙂 I’m so, so, so excited! Thank you so much Zielle for tagging me for the Christmas Tag! 😀
Ummm…. I really like getting to set up all the Christmas lights to light up our house.
We don’t have many traditions but we do have an Advent Book and we read a part of the Christmas story everyday up until the 25th!
Really any Christmas music! I like it all! 🙂
I don’t own any Christmas books except for this one Dear American one which is really good but I don’t remember what it was called. 😛
My favorite is definitely the lights!
I really love all of it but I really like the part when the shepherds come and see Jesus. 🙂
I have this one ornament I got this year and it’s a little pufferfish that’s glass with blue glitter in it. I also like we have crystal snowflake that’s really pretty.
Red and green!
Every year for Christmas we always watch Elf, which is my favorite Christmas movie! 😉
I love chocolate silk pie but I also love Christmas cookies.. I can’t choose!
I nominate anyone who would like to do this tag! 🙂
Merry Christmas,
-Rose ❤
Only 6 days till Christmas!! Yay!! 😀 I’m so excited and to celebrate here’s a photoshoot of Molly and our Christmas tree.

Reading the advent book!
Merry Christmas everyone!! 😀 Time to start the countdown to Christmas!!!!

Hello everyone! Today I’ll be showing you how to do a hairstyle perfect for the holiday season. Here’s what you’ll need.
All right now you know what you need now let’s learn how to do it
First spray down the hair with water or I’ve made a hair concoction which is just water with a little bit of conditioner in it.
After that take a strand of hair from the front.
Then slowly pull the hair back make sure the hair flows nicely and isn’t bumpy.
Then start braiding. If you don’t know how to braid try this tutorial. HERE!
After you’ve braided then start pulling the braid to the middle of the head.
Wrap it around the rest of the hair to create a nice little pony.
Then secu
Add a little bow and your done!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and be sure to come back for more fun doll posts!
Rose 💜
