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 fir...

So thank you all so much for keeping reading! Thank you so much for reading!!! ~Ella

What We Can Do to Change American Girl for the Better #2

The response I got for: "How can American Girl change?" is one that I honestly don't have a huge opinion on, but I still wanted to post on. Here's the response: American Girl needs to bring back all of the Historical Characters. Firstly, I agree. Now would be a perfect moment, since Beforever is going back to the historical line. As we all probably know by now, American Girl hasn't been doing so well. If they were to bring these all back in a month or two, that would be great. Like let's say they re-released a doll (or two for Marie-Grace and Cecile) that would be really good. They could re-open some stores. American Girl could start doing better. That's really all I have to say about that. Now if you have any ideas on how we can help American Girl, feel free to fill out this form! https://goo.gl/forms/U2r6gmOlWNdnjEHp2 Thank you so much for reading!!! ~Ella

My Opinion on the Beforever Name Change

Finally. Before you read this post I recommend you read the one from American Girl Doll News first.  https://www.americangirldollnews.com/single-post/2019/02/12/Be-Not-Forever-How-The-Historical-Dolls-Got-A-Name-Change-That-Didnt-Stick            I want to talk about this myself since 2014 is one of the years where I got the most American Girl dolls. Here's a quick timeline of what year I got each of my dolls. (Minus non-AG) 2012: -Caroline 2013: -#38 (don't have anymore) 2014: -Clara -Felicity -Rebecca 2015: -Grace -Maryellen -#55 (don't have anymore) 2016: -Lea -Kit -Melody -Sabrina (custom, originally#24) 2017: -Nanea 2018: -Luciana -Fern 2019: -Blaire       When Beforever was announced, the only thing I was excited about was that Samantha was coming back (I wanted her). Other than that, I hated every single aspect of Beforever, and it hadn't even been launched yet. Although I grew used to it, it still didn't seem ...
