Guess Where I'm Going - Retro Diner!

Did you guess where the dolls were going? They are going to....

A Retro Diner!

Wait, could it be? The Seaside Diner has opened in my town? Oh, it's another cute diner called Highway 55! Let's go inside!

Here are the Maryellens! Don't they look cute? :)

Time to order!

Ooh, yum! 

"Yay, my food is here!"

Here's my (American Girl Doll Crafter) food! It came in a 50's truck with a strawberry milkshake.

When the dolls were done, it was time to explore the diner.

"Elvis!" 

"I love retro posters! Don't you, Maryellen?"

"Yes!"

"One of my favorite 50's show is I Love Lucy! What's yours?"

Here are some photos of the decorations in Highway 55.

I love all of the posters! :)

Who doesn't know about Elvis, the king of Rock 'n Roll? I don't listen to Elvis, but my Grandma loves him... :P. There were about 5 giant Elvis posters in Hwy 55.

This is the menu. It's so cute! 

Look! This looks exactly like Maryellen's booth at her Seaside Diner! I had a photo of a blue booth, but I don't know what happened to it.... Sorry!

Hwy 55 also has cute chairs and checker floors! 

This is the pattern on the counter. It looks like the pattern on the table in Maryellen's Living Room Set!

The dolls had so much fun and we did too!

Guess Where I'm Going!

Hi everyone! Today, the Maryellens are going somewhere with us and you have to guess where that somewhere is! Are you ready? Here's a hint.

This hint is from a 50's song on Maryellen's TV Console App.

"Sit down at the counter,

And you turn yourself around.

Wave to your friends, right and left,

And you drink that cola down. Do the ________ !

Do the _______ !"

Did that help you? I bet it did! :D

So, where is Maryellen going? Tell us in the comments!

A Doll Play Date!

Today, our friends, AgMusician and Agducklover came over to play! AgMusician brought her new  Truly Me #61 doll named Susan, and AgDucklover brought her new Maryellen doll.

We had a lot of fun! Susan, Lanie, Maryellen, Grace, and Annie all say hello!

Maryellen is now in the Meet the Dolls section!

Today, I finally added Maryellen to the Meet the Dolls section! I changed up some of the other dolls photos. Also, Millie has a new personality. ;)The original one didn't seem to fit her too well. Isabelle had a little thing added to her personality, too. I meant to write it with hers when I started my blog, but I must have forgot. Oops! :P Be sure to stop by and take a look!

Have a great week and a good night!

Her Sunday Best - A Maryellen Phototshoot

Hi everyone! Today was Sunday, so Maryellen found a beautiful purple dress to wear to church. She enjoyed the service, and it was especially fun because Maryellen has never been to church before! Afterwards, she demaded that we do a Phototshoot of her in the pretty purple dress.

Mom, you demaded that I do a Phototshoot in the pretty purple dress. I wanted to go play with Kaya!

Uh, well... You just looked so pretty and I couldn't help it!

We hope you enjoy!

The two above are my favorites!

Look at all those lovely curls!

Did you like the Phototshoot? I haven't made one in while, so I thought today would be perfect! :)

Review - Maryellen's Accessories

My Mom bought Maryellen's accessories with the doll. I think we saved $5... :) Now, I'm going to do a review on them!

This set is priced at $24. I think it's worth $16. :)

First, we have the necklace. It is elastic and has a clasp like Grace's charm bracelet.

The necklace was actually very easy to get on the doll. I love the pearls! 

There is a pearl bracelet to match the necklace. It's a slip-on bracelet made with elastic. There is not a clasp.

Maryellen's white gloves are made out of a soft material. There is lace on the ends and a small silk bow. One glove is extremely hard to get on, but the other fits fine. My sisters have the same problem with their gloves.

Last, we have her purse! The purse is made out of a stretchy fabric and has a knit pattern on it. It doesn't button or Velcro together, so be careful or her accessories might fall out! ;) The handle can be a challenge to get on her hand.

Overall, It's a cute set! I think the gloves and purse could have been made better. 

I rate this 4 out of 5 stars!

Review - American Girl Maryellen Doll

Hi everyone! Today I'm reviewing American Girl's 18 inch Maryellen Doll! Let's get started.

Maryellen is a beautiful doll! I think her hair is one of her best features.

It's strawberry blond and very silky. At first, I was worried that her bangs would flip out and up like Grace's, but they don't. :)

Look how pretty and curly her ponytail is!

Maryellen comes with her hair in a high ponytail. It's secured with a clear rubber band, and then her blue hair bow is put around it.

Next, let's take look at her face. She has peachy skin with soft-colored lips. To me, her eyes are a very dark green, but AG says that they're hazel. Maryellen has feathery strawberry blonde eyebrows.

I was surprised when I first saw her neck. It's a little loose, unlike Grace's neck. Grace arrived in the mail too, but her neck was extremely tight.

Maryellen's dress is ADORABLE! It has pink, blue, and white stripes. 

There are tiny ribbons that go around the waist and the top of the dress.

There is Velcro in the back.

Maryellen also arrives in a short sweater. It has a M monogrammed on it.

Super cute shoes! They're T strap and Velcro on the side.

My Maryellen doll has a rough hand. It feels like sandpaper. The other hand does not. But I guess that makes her special. :)

I love Maryellen! She looks so sweet and cute. I'm very blessed to have her.

I rate Maryellen 5 out of 5 stars! 

Do you have Maryellen? We would love to see photos of her! You can send them to me americangirldollcrafter@gmail.com. 

A review on her accessories will be posted soon!
