End of an Era

-
       You've read the title, you probably have some sort of grasp of what this is about. Firstly, I'm going to sell some of my dolls this year. (Elanor, Grace, and possibly Lea.) When I started this blog I looked more forward to American Girl's future and saw them in a very different light. I pretty much thought they were the best doll brand in the whole wide world. Now, I feel like they don't listen to their customers and they aren't as good as they used to be. Instead of American Girl's new things I want their old things, and I feel that this may ultimately affect the outcome of this blog. Yes, of course I'll still theorize; it'll just be harder because I don't have a store anymore in my area. It was nice having a store because I could easily ask questions. Sure, I could call in, but it's just not the same. I know it probably doesn't seem like really anything is changing on your side, but I can tell it's changing on my side. When I first became a fan of American Girl, I loved the historicals and only the historicals. I also loved old AG catalogs. That's one of the big reasons Grace and Lea don't fit in my collection. I am going to keep Luciana though. I just need to play around a bit with her aesthetic and collection. I like characters that relate to me in someway. Grace doesn't. Like at all. Plus, with both Grace and Lea, I didn't want them until I saw them in stores. Since the beginning of this year, I haven't really enjoyed writing this blog that much. BUT! I'm determined to change that. And I will. It just may take some time to figure that out. Which! Is part of the reason I'm starting a writing blog. I don't know if it's up yet or not. If not, do you have any name ideas? As of writing this (Monday) I'm struggling to come up with name ideas. It will have short stories, full on stories with a chapter each week or every few days. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I LOVE writing. Anyways, that's all. Also, the next chapter of Holly and the Ukulele is coming out Friday.

 Thank you so much for reading!!!

Rainy Day (Blaire Short Story #1)

-
    First off, these aren't in any particular order, just little short stories about Blaire and what I think could happen in one of her stories. Also, sorry I'm writing this so late, I was going to write this yesterday, but I forgot to. In other words, I'm writing this at school. I hope you enjoy the story! (It's in Blarie's point of view.)      I stepped outside, that's when I remembered; it was raining. So then I turned around and went back inside. I wasn't wet thanks to the awning over our front porch. I went to the coat closet in my family's entry way and pulled out my lavender rain jacket and my floral umbrella. I threw on my rain jacket and opened the umbrella once I got onto the front porch. I then headed out in the pouring rain to the barn. My morning chore was to feed the animals and look for chicken eggs, which only took about forty-five minutes. Yet, I was often in the barn for much longer, just talking to the animals about my day; like they...

Regarding the Quality Change Rumors

-
    Yes, I know I left the Blaire short stories on a bit of cliffhanger, but I can't think of what to write next for the story. Plus, I feel like I'd probably end up making it a mystery because I'm writing a mystery story right now. I'm on my 11th chapter. Now, here's the actual post.      I wanted to address this because I've heard a lot about it and there are some things we need to remember. First thing that we need to remember, is that this is a rumor. We don't actually know if American Girl's quality will be all back to normal on January 1st. After all, that would take a lot of work to fix. This rumor was first addressed in late November, I believe and if it's true it would still take so much time to make all of those dolls. Remember, they need ones for shipping, and all of the AG stores. Even if they had figured this out earlier, it still just seems unlikely for it to be true. Secondly, even if it is true, American Girl hasn't addressed th...
