A New Doll in the Dollhouse...

  Readers, today I have a special surprise for you! I am very proud to present the newest girl in the Doll Whiz family! Any guesses on who she is?

 Meet Belle, an Our Generation doll! I picked her up with my Target gift card.

 "Help! I'm trapped in this box!" Belle calls out.


"Ah, that's better," says Belle. I love Belle's fashionista outfit, complete with the cute little dog purse!


As soon as you open the box, you find this little paper about doll hair care. 


Onto the doll! Belle comes with a dog-patterned shirt, hot pink pants, pink translucent sandals, sunglasses, and a purse. A very good value if you ask me.


I am in love with this purse! Very detailed and very cute.


A closer look at the shirt. It seems like Belle is a dog lover!


The pants are made of a very sturdy material and close with Velcro in the back.


The shoes are plastic and slip on the doll. The buckle is an accent. I like how the doll can stand very easily in them.


The sunglasses are also cute and fit the doll well. Great accessories in this set!


Let's see those eyes! Belle's eyes close when you lay her down, like the American Girl dolls. 


Belle comes with these neat little braids in her hair. I still haven't taken them out since I got her! 


A little photo fun with Belle. I think she's pretty photogenic!


One last photo! I actually didn't realize this until after I bought her, but Belle's a lot like GOTY Isabelle. The hair, the eye color, the name... if I don't get Isabelle, I have a pretty good look-alike!


 That wraps up this review! I think that Belle is going to be a great new addition to the doll house and would be great in your doll family too! Don't worry, you'll be seeing more of Belle in the near future. Pick her up at Target if she's in stock! Bye for now! :Doll Whiz

Merry Christmas!

 While I have a few minutes, I thought I would wish every one a Merry Christmas! Today I'm going up to visit family about an hour away. Are you going anywhere? What Christmas traditions do you celebrate?

 Wishing you a very merry Christmas! :Doll Whiz

P.S. After Christmas, we'll be kicking off our one year anniversary here at Doll Whiz! December 31st is the big day! Then there's New Year's, but after that we should be out of holidays for a while.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas...

 What's up, readers? I know it's been FOREVER (okay, maybe not that long ;p) since I've posted, but maybe today's post can help make up for it. 

The dolls are SO excited for Christmas at my house! I mean, they went all out with their decorating this year. To show you what I mean, take a look at last year's Christmas setup...


... and compare it to this year's! 

Big difference, right? This Christmas, there are stockings, a fireplace, the Christmas tree, AND some festive lights! 


 A closer look at the tastefully decorated tree. Nice job, ladies!


 The stockings were hung by the chimney with care... wait a minute, those are MY socks! Someone has some explaining to do...


 The dolls even got a Santa side table! (Who knew that dolls are such great interior designers?)


I decided to knock out the Christmas cards while I was at it. Apparently, red is the theme for this year!


A couple of clicks in PicMonkey, and I'm ready to send to family and friends! Technology makes everything a breeze.


On to more festivities! I was looking at Doll Diaries the other day, and I found this cool link for making your own Lego postcards! I think the dolls make great Legos, don't you?


Then, when the girls found out about Elf Yourself, they begged and begged and BEGGED me to make one staring them. I agreed, so here's the finished product!



 The crew at Doll Whiz wishes you a Merry Christmas! I hope you get the chance to gather the family (and the dolls, of course) for some fun celebration! Remember the true reason for the season and have a good day! :Doll Whiz


P.S. I even changed the Doll Whiz background to look like falling snow! Can you tell that we like Christmas here?

Anne of Green Gables

 Hey there, readers! Here's another doll review for you. My nana went to Prince Edward Island, and she brought me back an Anne of Green Gables doll! Here's the basics.

  This is Anne in her box. Look at that sweet face!


 This view of the box shows you a brief description of Anne: "Anne of Green Gables: Porcelain Doll".


 A more lengthy description of the people who made Anne. The doll was designed on Prince Edward Island.


 Anne out of her box.




 
 These pictures shows that Anne's head can turn and her arms can move.You can see the tag on her left wrist.







 

A closer look at the tag. It mentions a website called annesociety.org, which takes to a web page to buy Anne-related items.




Anne's bloomers and shoes. The shoes still have plastic wrap on them from the packaging.


 Anne from the back. The makers of this doll really paid attention to detail!


 "Finally," says Anne, "that annoying tag and those plastic wrap shoes came off!"


 1908 meets 1934 as Anne finds a new friend in Kit! Anne is slightly shorter than the American Girl mini dolls.



 Something has caught Anne's attention. I wonder what it is?


 Anne, wait! Oh well, I guess this photo shoot is over now. Have a great day!


 Details from the scene
 Doll: Anne of Green Gables Doll
 Setting: Table is Chrissa's Picnic Table by American Girl.

A Photo Shoot with a Beauty

 Hello, there, readers! Today I am going to show you a very beautiful doll. I believe that she is made by a brand called Unique, and I think that this company makes porcelain dolls. The back of her neck says "Unique", with "1-5000" underneath that. Has anyone heard of this? Anyways, I would be happy to introduce this doll to you. I have named her Elise, and here she is.


 See! She's such a beauty! My nana bought her for me at my school's Fall Fair.  She was up for silent auction, and Nana won.


 Look at that pretty face! Elise is made out of porcelain, and I'm not sure what her eyes are made of. Her lips look like they were painted on. She has eyelashes and beautiful curly hair.


 The next three pictures are close-ups of the details of Elise's dress.




Here are Elise's undergarments. The shoes are painted on. And yes, this doll has a stand.


 This is Elise from the back. Her dress has velcro on the back, so I guess it is removable, but I won't be taking her dress off.


 What a gorgeous hat! The lace and ribbon are very pretty.


 Elise talking to her friend Nellie. You can see that American Girl Dolls are taller than dolls like Elise.


 That beautiful look once more! Elise is very photogenic.


 I saw some porcelain Unique dolls on Ebay. If you are to buy this doll, please know that she is not for little children. She can't sit, and her arms, legs, and neck don't turn. Also, I wouldn't recommend playing with her hair so that you can keep those curls in good condition. This is more of a display doll than a play doll. But, if you take good care of her, I'm sure she'll be a great doll for photo shoots and light play.

 If you have any more information on these dolls, please let me know! I want to learn more about the brand behind these beauties. Hope you enjoyed this post! See you later! :Doll Whiz

 These opinions were all my own. I do not work for any doll companies in any way.

Once Upon A Time...

Bonjour, readers! Have you missed me? School started August 12 for me, so I've been busy. That's why I'm behind with my posting. Anyways, here's a post I made a few weeks ago. Thanks to Doll Diaries for your amazing inspiration.

 One day, my dolls were bored, so they went to see what was on the computer. 


 And it was Doll Diaries, as it so often is!


Rebecca was in charge of the mouse, so she clicked on the Princess and the Pea post. The girls figured out that it was Fairytale week at Camp Doll Diaries.


 "We should pretend that we are princesses too!" exclaimed Rebecca.


 So the girls got to work putting together outfits and grabbing hair accessories.


 The girls had a fashion show when they were finished. See if you can fill in the blanks to figure which princess each girl is. They are all Disney Princesses.

 Princess ______ has gone to town to get another book. She loves to read, but she is bored with her life.


Princess ________ is also bored with her life. Who would have guessed that a rug would help her find her prince?


Wow! Princess ______ is tired of her life too! She doesn't know much about how to use a fork, or a dinglehopper, does she?


Princess _______ doesn't want to get married. She wants to keep practicing her archery.


 So, who is who? I hope you had fun reading this and are inspired to play with your dolls today! Mahalo! :Doll Whiz
