Guess! Eye Spy

 Hello readers! It's time for another guessing game! Based on this close-up picture of a doll, can you guess who this might be?


 Sorry that the picture is blurry. When you zoom things in, blurriness just happens. This photo is by American Girl.


 Is she hypnotizing you? The doll, I mean. Stare into her mysterious eyes... now when I snap my fingers... you will... magically know what doll this is! 

 You could also have a staring contest with her. She's going to win, though. Or you could be falling in love with her magical eyes right now... just random thoughts.

 Anyways, I'd like some reader feedback. What kinds of things do you want to see on my blog? More guessing games? More photo stories? Reviews? Knock-knock jokes? Okay, probably not that last one, but I'd like to hear from you! You can comment below this post. You can talk here, or you can answer guessing game questions like this.

 No pressure. Just happy reading. And happy thoughts. Have a great day! :Doll Whiz

Samantha Time Travels



 Hiya, readers! I hope you are having a great weekend! I am already out for the summer (Yahoo!), so keep an eye out for more posts. Onto today's photo story!

 I caught Samantha using my stool to look onto my bookshelf. I should have stopped her, but I was curious...


 Samantha was on my stool, looking at the shelf with the doll books on my bookshelf.

 
 She was looking at the doll stories. Most of them were historical characters, but a few were girl of the year dolls.


 Samantha decided to pull out the book Nellie's Promise.


  As Samantha climbed down the stool, she realized that the two girls on the front looked very familiar...


 Where have I seen these people before? wondered Samantha.


After climbing onto her bed, Samantha got settled and started to read her book. (Which wasn't really her book at all!)



"That's odd," Samantha said. "This girl looks like me and has the same name as me."




Samantha started to read the book. I think she's enjoying it!


"I wonder what it would be like to live in 1904 with Samantha and Nellie," Samantha wondered aloud. And off she went!


When Samantha returned, she was dressed for a walk in the park in 1904. Acting as if she was really there, Samantha said, "Oh, it is a lovely day for a stroll in these gardens. This is quite a lovely parasol here. And when I return to the house, I shall have some tea and crump-"


Samantha was interrupted by Nellie. "Uh, Samantha, what are you... doing?" asked Nellie.  

 "Well... I, uh... I was pretending that I was a Victorian girl like the girl in this book," said Samantha.

 "Okay..." said Nellie. There was a pause. "Can I join you?" asked Nellie.

 "Sure!" said Samantha.


 So before you know it, Nellie changed clothes and the girls ate cookies and tea!


I hope you have enjoyed this photo story! Use your imagination today! BFN, :Doll Whiz

How to Make a Doll Purse

 Hey, everyone! I have recently done a project that I think you will like! I have made a doll purse. What you don't know is that it is made from a gum package!

 Thanks to Doll-it-up @ Doll Diaries for inspiration.

 Let's get started!


 What you need:

  *Gum package (I used Extra)
  
  *Duct tape

   *Hook and loop squares

  *Ribbon or something that can be used for a strap (I used potholder loops from a project set)

  *Rhinestones, sequins, or any other decorating supplies to make this purse your own


 Step 1: Find a gum package.


 Step 2: Find the color of duct tape that you want to use.


 Step 3: Start to cover your gum package with duct tape.


Step 4: Cover the sides with duct tape. You can switch colors if you like.



Almost done! Now, this gum package had a hole to slide the top into so you could close it, but I just covered the hole with duct tape and stuck hook and loop squares onto the purse to make it close.


 Step 5: Add a strap.


Step 6: Add your ribbons and rhinestones and Voila! You have a purse!


Looks like Kanali just so happened to pick up this stylish new bag.


For such a small width...


 ...so much can fit inside!


Let's see... 5 one dollar bills...


a library card...


an MP3 player...


 a gift card...


and a small book!


 I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Make your own purses and play! Auf Wiedersehen! :Doll Whiz
