Top AG Doll Projects in 2016

With just a few hours left in 2016, 

I thought it would be fun to post some of our favorite projects from 2016.

It is always nice to look back over the past year and see what we've accomplished.

That applies to our doll play/fun as well.

Here are our top six projects in 2016 -- in no particular order.

We love crafting for our dolls.

American Girl Ideas is one of our go-to favorites to find printable and projects.

{The pattern for our food truck below is also a fun find on AG Ideas.}

We loved making this 4th of July firework stand earlier this year.

This year we took a doll with us when we visited Bryce National Park -- that was fun!

Lucky for us, our grandpa is great with wood! He made this food truck for us!

So much fun --

We painted it and decorated it -- a three generation project -- that is a treasure for sure.

Making little books is fun and relaxing. 

Our goal is to create a doll library.

Hoping to finish up this project in 2017.

Fashion Fridays are always a highlight for us.

Wishing there were more hours in the day to create more Fashion Fridays.

Hoping to do better with this in 2017.

If I had to pick a favorite project in 2016 it would probably be the annual advent calendar I make.

I collect little treasures throughout the year and create an advent for the doll lovers in our family.

This year was a fun mix of Christmas clothing and Christmas foods.

Goodbye 2016 -- Welcome 2017!

We can't wait to see what the NEW YEAR has in store for us!

December Doll Advent time!

This is a year long process of collecting fun little items for the dolls.

In the past this has also been the advent calendar for the little girls in the family.

Recently we added Josefina to our doll collection.

{The chips and salsa were collected with her in mind.}

This is the advent from last year. 

{Lots of little items from OG sets that I break up and bag as daily surprises.}

A gypsy costume might be my all-time-favorite costume.

The girls in our family have all been gypsies for at least one Halloween.

So. Much. Fun!

The perfect costume for Saige!

Lots of color {artist girl} and her eyes are so pretty with pink!
