American Girl New Release~ June 26th, 2014
OMGOSH!!! I think I was having a heart attack (not literally 😉 ) over everything 😛 ALL of the new outfits, furniture, pets, accessories- AAAAH!!! I’m just dying (again, not literally 😛 ) over everything!!!! 😀
I am now going to show you EVERY single new item (except for books) and what I think about them, so get ready for a LONG post! 😀
We’re gonna start with the pets and pet stuff:
Coconut the Puppy $28- Okay, I seriously love this new version of Coconut! I think she’s so much cuter!! And she has such a sweet little baby face! 🙂
Corgi Puppy $28- Well…. He’s okay. I’d probably like him better in person 😛
Chocolate Lab Puppy $28- He is so cute! Yeah, I immediately saw it as a boy. LOL!
Dalmatian Puppy $28- Okay, why am I so in love with this little puppy?! I haven’t really decided if I see it as a boy or a girl yet, LOL! Oh! And can I say that I LOVE how they can actually move now??? And apparently they have magnets in their mouth area now since they can hold they’re toys. That’s pretty cool!
Apricot Poodle Puppy $28- This puppy is cute, but not cute enough to wear I’d buy it. I love the fluffiness of it, though! And when I saw the color I thought it’d be really cool if AG someday makes a Golden Retriever. I would definitely buy that 🙂
Himalayan Kitten $28- SO adorable!!! Now, I’m not too fond of cats, but I adore this little kitten!! I may need to add her to my collection someday 😉
Jeweled Collar & Leash $12- This is SO PRETTY!!!! If I ever get a girl puppy from them I’m gonna have to have this!! 😀
Spiky Collar & Leash $12- That is so cute! It totally looks super boyish! I think Eli may want this for Pepper….
Blossoms Collar & Leash $12- This is really cute, too! I love the colors!
Charm-ing Pet Collar $16- This is such a good idea!! I love how it’s like a charm bracelet and that you can put your pet’s name! How cute!
Pet Ballerina Outfit $18- This is cute, but I think it’s silly that they made the little slipper. It’s just a random accessory that you can’t really use 😛
Sporty Pet Outfit $18- This is really cute! I love how they’ve made so many outfits for the pets!
Preppy Pet Outfit $18- All I have to say is… I LOVE this kitten even more!! Look at the little flower in her ear!! 😀
Pet Camping Outfit $18- This is cute, but I wish they would’ve made something else instead of the bag. Its exactly the same as the old one except different colors 😕 I do like the hat, though!
Petal Pet Outfit $18- Awwwwww!! Coconut looks so adorable!!!
Cuddles and Cures Pet Set $22- Okay, first of all the price. Knowing AG I’d think this would be WAY more! LOL! Now, this set is adorable!! I love the stethoscope!!
Pet Grooming Set $30- Ummm… Maybe just a little too much like the old one? 😕
Treats and Eats Pet Set $16- I think this is too expensive, but it is really cute!! 😀
Pet Celebration Set $22- Again, too much like the old one… 😕
Princess Pet Bed $26- How ADORABLE AND PRETTY!!!! Okay, I think I need a girl pet now 😛
Funky Pet Bed $26- The design makes me a little dizzy 😛
Dreamy Daisy Pet Bed $26- This is so cute, too! I like that it’s a flower 🙂
Travel Kennel $26- I like the colors of this one 🙂
Now onto MAG Clothing:
Coconut Cutie Outfit $30- I like the skirt and the shoes a lot, but I’m not too fond of the shirt. 😉
Petals and Plaid PJ’s $24- These are SOO CUTE!! I have to buy these for Clara!!!
School Stripes Dress $28- When I first saw this I instantly thought of Mckenna. I guess it’s the stripes and colors? I do like this outfit, though! Very unique 🙂
Starry Hoodie Outfit $30- I don’t really like those leggings, but I love everything else!! So I guess I could still buy it 😀
Bright Stripes Outfit $38- OMGOSH!!! I’m SO OBSESSED with this outfit!!!!! It’s a BLAZER!!! I LOVE blazers!!!! I need to buy this!!!! 😀
Sparkly Camp Outfit $30- This is SO adorable!! Another one that I’m obsessed with, LOL! 😛
2-in-1 Cheer Gear $48- I don’t care for cheer, but I know that for girls who love it, this set is great for them!
Skateboarding Set $42- I love this set!!! That outfit is TOO cute!!! 😀
Karate Class Set $38- Again, not into it, but they did a great job at making this! It does look pretty cute on Annika (MAG #55), too! 🙂
Bee Myself Outfit $34- How adorable!!! This would be great for Dolloween 😉
Now for Doll Furniture and Accessories:
Bouquet Bed & Bedding $38-$213- This is SOOO CUTE!! I seriously love this bed!! And of course it’s over $200 for everything. So sad 🙁
Bouquet Nightstand $58- This is adorable!!! I love all of the little drawers!! 😀
Sunset Sleepover Tent $85- Wow. Way too much monies! I personally liked the old tent better. Sad they replaced it 🙁
Trail Accessories $38- This is such a cute set!! I really think I need this 😀
Sunset Sleepover Bag $28- This is pretty cute!
Jewel Highlights Set $15- Why is it called “Jewel”? I thought for sure there’d be jewels in it! LOL!
Accent Braid Clips $15- These are adorable, but my mom did make a good point. You could just make those tiny braids yourself in your doll’s hair. 😛
Camp Treats Set $58- This is SO cute!! I love the food!! Actually, I love everything 😀
Aqua Earring Tree $10- This is really cute, but I’m blanking out here- didn’t they already have something like this or am I thinking of something else? 😛
Wrap Watch $8- This is so cute! I am literally dying to touch it!! It looks like that amazing rubber that feels smooth and amazing! I know, I’m weird. LOL!
Violet Heart Watch $8- Now this I would probably buy! That is so cute!
Pets Earrings $10- These are pretty cute! And look! It has my two favorite (new) pets!!
Doodle Earrings $10- Okay, I think Saige wants these! 😀
3-in-1 Ring Set $8- I NEED to buy these!!!! I can’t tell you how excited I was when I saw these rings!!! I love rings!! 😀
Doodle Backpack Set $28- I LOVE that backpack and everything that comes with it!! SO cute!!
Now moving on to the Bittys-
Bitty Lambie PJ’s $26- Awwww!! These are so sweet! And you have to go see those slippers cause they have the cutest little faces!! 🙂
Birthday Outfit $20-$48- This is adorable! And I love that little gift!
Pretty Picnic Outfit $26- This is SO cute!!
Picnic Basket Set $30- This is cute, but I really think it should come with more 😕
Bitty’s Gentle Mouse $30- This mouse is adorable!! I love that little face!
Polka- Dot Day Dress $25- OMGOSH!! I really need this!! The style and colors are all so cute!! 😀
Sunny Stripes Outfit $26- SO cute!!! Just wondering why it’s a dollar more than the girl’s outfit? Seems kinda weird…
Twins’ Groceries $30- I ADORE this set!! It is so cute!! Look at the pretzel!!!! 😀
Twins’ Hair Accessories $12- I thought it was cute that they made these for the Bitty Twins! I really like the bow and ponytail holders 🙂
Twins’ Glasses $8- Okay, I think I died when I saw these!! How ADORABLE is that?! I immediately saw Jeremy wearing those black glasses. I might be buying this set 🙂
Now for Isabelle:
Isabelle’s Sparkle Dress $36- This is SOOO PRETTY!!! Although it’s see-through, so my dolls would wear something underneath 😉 Okay, now why would they use the same name “Sparkle Dress” for Isabelle when they already used that for Saige?! That kinda makes me mad… But not super mad… LOL! 😛
Isabelle’s Makeup Set $36- I think it’s so cool that they made a makeup set!! And it’s SUPER cute, too! 😀
Now, for what we’ve all been waiting for……
MAG #61 has ARRIVED!!!!! She is absolutely gorgeous!!! I have already seen pictures of her and decided that I’m buying her (when I get the money) and naming her Jenna! A LOT of people think she looks like Saige, but they are a lot different. Saige’s hair is a darker red, she has blue eyes, and freckles. #61’s hair is a brighter red, she has green eyes, and no freckles. Honestly, the only same thing about them is the face mold. And the doll that she really looks like is Felicity. But I’m still gonna buy her because I’m totally in love with her! 😀
I think that this release was AMAZING!! I hope you all enjoyed seeing what I think about everything! I’d love to know what you think, too! 🙂

A Day At The Park- A Photoshoot of Jess
Hey Girls!!
Wow, I haven’t posted for a long time! So sorry about that 😕
Well, today I went to a beautiful park with a waterfall, ducks, geese, and SO many dozens of turtles!!! They were so cute! 😀 Anyways, on to the photoshoot!!
Jess just looked so pretty today!
“Hey! Look up here!” Wow! You’re high up there, Jess! I think you’re gonna need some help getting down, though.. 😉
Resting in the shade. “Oh, my gosh it is so hot!” Yeah, but at least its windy 🙂
Being the little explorer she is, she climbed up the tree to get a better view of the park. “Wow, this place is big!”
Then she wanted to roll down the hill!
Now to talk about her outfit! She is wearing Saige’s Sweater Outfit Tank Top, Springfield Jean Capris and My Life As (I think :P) Jean Vest.
Her shoes are from the Sweet School Dress.
Okay, seriously, who doesn’t love a doll feet pic, right? Especially if they are doll feet and the shoes they’re wearing have adorable pink bows on them! Just sayin’, feet pics are super fun 😀
Her pink headband is from the Weekend Fun Outfit.
Sweet smile!
One last look at the lake and it was time to leave. All in all Jess had a very good time and so did I! 🙂
Do you take your dolls to the park? Or do you feel embarrassed?
~Jaclynn~
P.S. I have to admit to you all that I did feel a little embarrassed to be walking around with a doll in my arms and taking pictures. But it’s okay. I’m taking one step at a time and I know that the more I do it, the easier it’ll be for me 🙂
Behind the Scenes Pictures!!
Haha! I look so funny crouching way down there! 😛
Hope you enjoyed!!
Fire Cove~ Part 6 The GRAND FINALE
It was a sunny afternoon and we were coming upon the city of Dale. Ever since Jake mentioned about Blackheart being there I hadn’t been able to keep my mind off it. So I went to go talk to Jake about it.
“Jake, I’ve been thinking a lot about Blackheart. If she is at Dale and if she sees us, what will happen?” I asked. Jake looked at me closely and could tell I was worried. “Don’t worry, Victoria. We’ll be okay.” He replied, but I knew he was just trying to make me feel better.
“Jake, what would happen?” I asked a little more demanding this time.
“It’s difficult to say. Maybe nothing if she doesn’t really notice us, or….” His voice trailed off. “Or what?” I asked. “Or she might bring us to the keeper of the Code. She is dangerous. If she sees someone not following the Code, she’ll do something about it. And well, we’ve been broken just about the biggest code.” Jake said with a sigh. He looked at me again and said, “I’m going to Dale alone. It’ll be safer if you stay here on the ship. Savvy?” He asked. “Alright.” I replied sadly.
Jake bought our supplies and started to head back for the ship. But something wasn’t right…
Jake turned his head to the side, so he could see in back of himself.
He was being followed!
Realizing who it was Jake began to run as fast as he could!
But then the woman began chasing after him!
When Jake reached the ship he threw the bag of supplies to the floor and ran for the wheel.
“Jake, what’s wrong?” I asked in a panic.
“Jake!!” I yelled. He was beginning to stress me out!
“I was being followed, Victoria. By Blackheart! She was wearing a disguise.” Jake said quickly.
“That means-” I began, but Jake interrupted me.
“-We’ve been discovered.” He finished my sentence with a look of worry.
I looked over the rail and called Jake over. “She’s following us.” I said as I spotted a ship.
“I know. We’ll have to abandon ship and take the row boat to the nearest island. If she finds us, it will not be good.” Jake explained. I was sad to leave our beautiful ship, but I knew there was no other alternative.
We reached an island at last and hid our boat under some palm leaves. Then we spotted a cave and knew it would be perfect for us to hide in.
“Oh, Jake! What are we going to do?” I asked. “We’ll wait here. And hopefully we’ll be able to leave by morning.” Jake replied. My mind couldn’t help but wonder what would become of us. Then suddenly, I heard a voice…
“Jake, did you hear that?” I asked. We listened for a moment and then heard a woman’s voice saying, “Find Captain Turner and his wife! When you find them, bring them to me. They must pay for breaking the Code!”
Jake put his arm around me and said, “Blackheart…. She’s found us.”
THE END!!! To be continued in the second season! 😀

Tell Us Tuesday~ June 17th, 2014
Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday!! First I have to say that I won’t be posting the Grand Finale of Fire Cove today because I have to do some errands with my mom, but I will hopefully have it up tomorrow! 🙂
Now, shall we get started? 😀
“Here is Kit,modeling a headband I made for my etsy shop!” Submitted by Grace AG Lover
The last few photos are from C-
“My recent thrift shop finds! There is a store near my house that is known for having shelves full of dolls! If anyone could help me identify them, that would be great!”
“This is one of my finds! I paid $2 for her! I think she is an Ariel Animator’s Collection doll.”
“I also found this Madame Alexander doll for only $4. She needs a lot of help. Her head is super wobbly and her limbs are too. The number on her tag reads 32009 004403. If anyone knows what doll she is or if it is possible to tighten her limbs and head let me know!”

Fire Cove~ Part 5
We got to Fire Cove, where Jake’s hideout was, in one day. We were going to free Elena and fight for The Cube of Light!
Captain Elinor and I entered the cave and started on our hunt for Elena and for Jake.
And then there, lurking in the shadows, was Jake!
“Captain, Victoria, I thought ye might show up.” Jake began. “If you’re looking for Elena she’s right down that passage way. You can go get her, Victoria.” Jake finished kindly. After what he’d done I did not even want to see him or talk to him, but I obviously had no choice. “Go on, Victoria, but be careful.” Elinor warned.
Jake laughed, “There’s nothing to be worried about. I told you she’d be safe.” He said.
“Yes, and how many other things did you tell me, Jake? How many times did you lie to me?” I asked my eyes welling up with tears.
Jake looked at me with guilt. “I promise, Victoria, she is safe and unharmed.” He said and I went to Elena’s aid.
“Jake, give me The Cube!” Elinor demanded, pointing her sword. “Why should I do that?” Jake asked.
Elinor studied Jake. “Because you love Victoria. Do this to make her happy and get her back.” Elinor said.
Jake turned away from Elinor. “She doesn’t love me. And she never would. Even if I did give it back, she wouldn’t trust me.” Jake said quietly.
“I think if you were to let Elena free, give back The Cube of Light, and apologize to Victoria, she would forgive you.” Elinor said.
Jake turned to face Elinor and took The Cube out of his coat pocket. “I’m not doing this for Victoria, I’m doing it to be a good man.” And with that The Cube of Light was back in Elinor’s hands.
Finding Elena was a bit difficult, but soon enough I saw her.
She was locked up in some sort of a jail cell. “Elena! It’s me, Victoria!” I whispered. Elena looked at me and she could not believe her eyes. “Victoria, what are ye doin’ here? Where’s Elinor?” Elena asked quickly.
“Everything’s fine, Elena! Elinor is here, but she sent me to rescue you! Come now, we have to move quickly. Jake promised you would be safe, but I don’t know if he told his crew about that. Do you know where the keys are?” I asked.
Elena moved her head to point, “Over thar! But be careful there’s a tra-” Elena was cut off by the sound of rocks rumbling overhead.
“What is that?” I yelled.” Elena shouted, “A trap! You have to hurry!” I started running to the keys on the hook, but was tackled to the ground by Jake,
“WATCH OUT!” He yelled just before he was buried by rocks. “No. Jake!!” I yelled.
I started moving the rocks to save him. It took some time, but I finally got them off of him.
And there he was, just lying there all dirty and injured. “Jake, why did you do that?” I sobbed.
He looked up at me with a weak smile. “Just as before. I-I couldn’t let anything happen to you. I love you.” He said with tears in his eyes.
“I love you, too, Jake.” I cried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Six weeks passed and Jake was almost fully recovered. But news that is much greater than that-
Jake and I were married, but in secret, so that no other pirates would know.
“We’re coming up to the city of Dale. We’ll stop there for some supplies.” Jake said.
“Isn’t that kinda dangerous? I mean, since we’re pirates and we are married.” I asked, but Jake didn’t reply right away.
“We should be fine. As long as Blackheart isn’t making port there right now…”
And that’s where we end Part 5! Look for the Grand Finale coming soon!!

Heaven’s Golden Majesty
Tomorrow my brother’s dog, Majesty (her full name is the title) is going to be put to sleep. My brother can’t afford the surgery/treatment she needs and he feels it’s best to put her to sleep and rid her of her pain. There is however a chance that someone else will adopt her and pay for all of her medical problems. But either way, we are losing her.
Majesty has grown from the most adorable little “Butter Ball” to a beautiful “Fluffy Pancake”. She is the sweetest thing and so funny. She doesn’t care about other dogs and will completely ignore them. She doesn’t bark regularly and I have probably heard her bark only about 6 or 7 times. I must say, though, her bark is amazing!
Majesty would have been 9 years old this November. I am going to miss this little “Puppy” so very much. I love you, Majesty <3
Prayers would be appreciated for my brother and all of us tomorrow as we say goodbye 🙁

First Night At Camp
Clara lay awake in her bed in a cabin away from her sister. They had always shared a room together since they were little. She cried and cried for a very long time.
“Hey, are you okay?” Samantha, one of the girls in Clara’s cabin whispered.
“No.” Clara sniffled.
“Well, what’s wrong?” Samantha asked.
“I’ve never slept in a room without my sister before. I feel scared and lonely without her!” Clara replied.
“What if me and your sister trade cabins? That way you two can be together.” Samantha offered kindly.
Clara sat up in her bed. “You’d do that for me?” Clara asked with excitement.
“Sure! I don’t mind.” Samantha said with a smile. “Now, we’d better get some sleep.”
“Thank you!” Clara said.
“You’re welcome, Clara.” Samantha replied.
Clara settled down and drifted off to sleep. She couldn’t wait to see her sister tomorrow!
Have you ever felt like Clara?
~Jaclynn~
First Day Of Camp!
Alright, who has just been DYING for Camp Doll Diaries to start?! I’ve been ready for WEEKS!! I am so excited that Camp has started and I look forward to all the fun my dolls and I are gonna have this summer! 😀
Just to refresh yourselves, my camp this year is focusing on Clara and Rebecca who are sisters 😉
All the girls had been waiting forever for camp to start and finally, today is the day they’ve all been waiting for! The first day of camp is mostly focused on getting registered and settled in. Here a few girls are in line to sign in.
“I’m okay, I’m okay. I’m gonna have fun! Don’t be scared.” Clara said to herself. She was still very nervous about going to camp.
At last, it was Rebecca’s and Clara’s turn.
“And what is your last name, Rebecca?” Jess asked. She is the head counselor at camp 😉
“It’s Rubin.” Rebecca replied.
“Ah, yes, you are in Mirkwood Cabin.” Jess said.
“Here is your cabin key.” Lana, a younger counselor, said.
“Thank you!” Rebecca replied with a smile. She just wanted to go take a look at camp already!
Clara dug in her tote bag for her registration form. “Ah, there it is!” Clara exclaimed.
“And I assume your last name is Rubin, as well?” Jess asked.
“Yeah, that’s right.” Clara replied shyly.
“You are in Enchanted Cabin!” Jess said and Lana gave her the key to her cabin.
“But, me and Becca are supposed to be in the same cabin together! Our mommy said she was going to request it.” Clara said starting to get very sad and upset.
“I know, I remember her calling. I told her I would see what I could do, but I’m afraid by the time you two signed up there was only room for one girl in two separate cabins and all the other ones were filled. I’m very sorry. If there had been more room, I would’ve put you two in a cabin together, but there was nothing I could do.” Jess explained.
“Rebecca, I don’t wanna be without you! I only decided to come because you said we’d be together the entire time!” Clara cried. “I know, Clara! I wish we could be together, too and I’m also really disappointed, but there’s nothing we can do.” Rebecca replied.
“I wanna go home.” Clara said sadly.
“Oh, please, Clara! Stay here! I promise you, we’ll still see each other! Okay?” Rebecca said.
“Okay.” Clara replied and Rebecca gave her a hug.
“Once you girls have unpacked, please come back here for you name tags. They’ll be waiting for you. I’m sure you will both have a great time here this summer!”
Are you doing Camp Doll Diaries? How was your doll’s first day at camp?
~Jaclynn~
P.S. This all happened yesterday, but I’m posting it today 😉
