Rules:

• Whoever you nominate must post a hairstyle tutorial on their blog
• You must ask at least 5 questions
• You must keep the chain going, and if you are nominated, nominate someone else

I will post a hair style for dolls as the next thing I post. 

                                                       Favorite TV show?

That's so hard to pick one. I'm going to go with: Star Trek: Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager as two of my favorite shows. 

                                                       Favorite hairstyle?

I really like Tauriel and Legolas's hair styles from Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit:

I think the way braids in those hairstyles are used is pretty cool. 

If American Girl made a homeschooled GOTY, would you buy her?

It depends on what type of homeschooler the doll is, as there are many types of homeschoolers in existence. AG would have be clear about what type of homeschooler the doll was and portray the type of homeschooler well. Also, how important to the character would being a homeschooler be? 

It just depends on how they do it. American Girl had a doll, Blaire, that was a blogger but they didn't really make her blog relatable to those who are actually bloggers. Her blog was way too professional. But then also had a doll, Z, that was a YouTuber and made AGSMs, and they got that right. So it solely depends on how it is done.  

What’s your favorite sleepover activity?

I've never actually been to a sleepover and probably won't anytime soon (due to the pandemic). But I think my favorite would probably be watching scary movies? 

Have you ever been to an American Girl store?

Yes, several times. 

My questions: 

1. What is your favorite classic novel? And why? 

2. What is your favorite American Girl Doll movie? 

3. If you could switch places with any AG character who would you switch places with? 

4. What is your favorite time period? 

5. Which of Felicity's outfits would you like to own in your size?

I nominate...

Drawings of the Girls of the Year (Part one)

 

      Hello everyone,

 While I do usually make drawing posts on my creative arts blog, I decided that I would make a drawing post of the Girls of the Year and post it here: 

I drew Saige first. She was the first Girl of the Year I thought of because she is an artist. 

It was really fun to draw Kanani. I really enjoyed drawing her hair,

her flower, and her necklace. 

 

I enjoyed drawing Isabelle's hair. 

Here's a drawing of Gabriela. I didn't quite copy her shirt's lettering, it was in cursive, but I did copy what the text said which was "dream." It was fun to draw. 

    Here's a drawing of Blaire. Unlike the past Girls of the Year, AG did not provide a realistic drawing of her. So, I had to go off the cartoony drawing that was provided. 

Here's a drawing of Grace, it was really fun to draw her outfit. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which Girls of the Year would you like to be see me draw next? Which drawing is your favorite?
