Hi everyone. Today I brought something amazing home.<br />
<div>
I got the new girl of the year Gabriela Mcbride!</div>
<div>
(Thanks to a few gift cards)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She has a really cute collection. Gabriela herself cost $115.00. The doll has pretty curly hair to play with, brown eyes that can open and close, and she is African American. Gabriela currently comes with a hair band for dolls, a blue tank top, one purple crop top, jeans, blue and purple dance shoes, and don't forget the paperback book! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are looking for her hair care it is on the flap of the box when you open your Gabriela doll. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Please look at the pictures of my friend and I at the American Girl Bistro!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the rest of your day😊</div>

You can swap your doll with a friend that already has an American Girl Doll (there may be many friends like this!) because when you swap your doll then you'll feel like you have gotten a brand new doll. You can also share and swap your accessories collection with your friends too.<br />
<br />
When you swap or share then you can save your money instead of having to buy a new doll. Like save it for college and for when you get older because you will need it!<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
When you swap clothes your doll can have a brand new look that you have never seen before. When you swap your doll then you'll feel like you have gotten a new doll. Now remember, always be a good friend and don't break your friends' dolls when you swap! Now that you have this new girl it's like starting all over because it has a different look and u can play with a really pretty new doll. Hope you can try this some time. Here's what happened when I swapped my doll for American Girl Doll Ella and combined accessories from my friend and me.<br />
<br />
Have fun and save money!<br />

If you have an American Girl Doll or another 18 inch doll and you want to bring it on a trip you can use my ideas for this. If you have them, bring some pants, shorts and shirts for your doll. If you don't have shorts then it's ok, you can just bring the pants and shirts, hopefully more than 1 pair so you can have lots of fun undressing and dressing your doll for different events.<br />
<br />
How to dress them: (watch the video)<br />

<br />
<br />
Also, do not forget to bring shoes for your doll. I would recommend not to bring the 'food' and 'glasses' that you have for your doll since these things are small and you could lose them very easily on your trip, since you may be going here and there and might misplace something.<br />
<br />
Happy Trails!<br />

Yay! I went to the store with my two friends and also my grandma and mom. <br />

<br />
In the AG store they have the Girl of the Year on display, Grace, which I just mentioned. After a year there will be another girl instead of Grace. They also have look-alike dolls, where you can pick out the one that you think looks most like you or someone else. There were also smaller dolls - 'bitty babies', 'bitty twins', and historical dolls. Since it's a new year there is new stuff like a hammock for lounging and new clothes for the look-alike dolls! In the store there is also a hair salon and ear piercing is available for your doll. There is also a cafe to have lunch or dinner. Here is the stuff I got on my last trip which Julie is modeling:<br />

<br />
What you will need is:<br />
<br />
some bobby pins<br />
<br />
doll hair brush<br />
<br />
spray bottle with water only<br />
<br />
pencil or pen<br />
<br />
First, brush your doll's hair to remove any knots. Then get the spray bottle and spray your doll's hair. <br />
<br />
Next, take the pencil or pen and wrap some of the doll's hair around it.<br />
<br />
Next, pull the pen or pencil out of the hair and then put the bobby pin in the hair section you have just rolled up.<br />
<br />
It is recommended to leave the bobby pins in the hair for about 3 hours to let the curls set.<br />
<br />
You can repeat this for as many parts of the hair as you like, and you can use your imagination to make different curly hair styles.<br />
<br />
Have Fun!<br />

<br />

<br />
Step One - get a device that has the App Store on it, like your iPhone or iPad.<br />
<br />
Step Two - go to the App Store, find the search button<br />
<br />
Step Three - type in 'Stop Motion' and start your search<br />
<br />
Step Four - You should see 2 apps come up. One of them is free, it is called 'Stop Motion Studios' and the other one costs about $5.00 and is called 'Stop Motion Studio Pro'. We used the free one to make the sample above; watch as look-alike doll Ella and Julie Albright get ready for the first day of school.<br />
<br />
After you put the individual clips together, you can add the sound effects separately, and the app is really easy to use.<br />
<br />
Happy Movie-making!<br />

If you have an American Girl Doll or any doll for that matter, you can use these neat ideas to make your doll's hair straight and also make curly hair styles for your doll. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/02yIScz9X_I/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/02yIScz9X_I?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
Step One - Get a spray bottle that contains water ONLY - no chemicals or soaps which can damage your doll's hair.<br />
<br />
Step Two - get a brush for your doll's hair<br />
<br />
Step Three - get a small scissor<br />
<br />
Begin - brush your doll's hair to get all of the knots out.<br />
<br />
Next - spray the doll's hair with the spray water bottle.<br />
<br />
Next - brush your doll's hair again until it is flat and smooth.<br />
<br />
Next - take the small scissors and gently cut the tiny crooked hairs that may show up on the top of her head.<br />
<br />
Voila! - Smooth, shiny looking hair!<br />
<br />
To get curls or waves - spray the hair to make it wet again.<br />
<br />
Next - use your hands to twist the hair all the way to the bottom or make a traditional braid. Then let go and the hair will be wavy and curly.<br />
