Petite Boutique

 Hey, readers! I recently received the Doll Boutique book from American Girl. I have "set up shop" and wanted to share this photo story with you! Happy reading!

 Kanali has set up a new store called Petite Boutique. She is putting the final touches on the dress rack before opening.

 

  "I guess it's time to flip my sign," said Kanali to herself.

As soon as the sign was flipped, Rebecca and Samantha walked into the boutique.

"Oh, look at the hats, Samantha!" exclaimed Rebecca. But Samantha was paying more attention to the purses.

 "Oh, Becca, come look at the dresses!" Samantha called.

 "Oh, I just have to have this beautiful blue one," sighed Samantha.

 "You can go try it on in the dressing room if you like," said Kanali.

 So that's what Samantha did.

 Meanwhile, Rebecca had gone over to the dress rack and found a beautiful pink dress with flowers on it.

 Rebecca sat in the chair next to the dressing room to wait on Samantha to change into her dress.

 "Tada!" exclaimed Samantha as she burst out of the dressing room.

 "It looks amazing!" exclaimed Rebecca.

 "Now all I need are some shoes to match," said Samantha.

 Samantha wandered over to the shoe display. 

 "These are perfect!" she exclaimed.

 

Rebecca then went to change and came out with her beautiful dress on.

"These shoes will go perfectly with my outfit," said Rebecca.

"Hey, Sam, we should each get a purse, too!" exclaimed Rebecca.

 So by the time the girls got to the checkout, the each had a dress, a pair of shoes, and a purse. They decided to go out to lunch in their new outfits.

 After the girls paid, Kanali handed each of them a business card.

As Samantha and Rebecca left, they called out, "Goodbye!"

 "Goodbye!" Kanali replied.

 I hope you enjoyed your trip to Petite Boutique! Come back soon, and tell your friends! :)

 Pretty much all of the decorations are from the book, Doll Boutique. If you have any questions about this post, just comment and I can tell you where something was from, how I made it, etc. But keep your eyes peeled for a behind the scenes post on the Doll Boutique! So long for the present, :Doll Whiz

P.S. Here's a little blooper from the photo story.

P.S.S. The answer to Guess! Where's the Microscope? is... Rebecca!

Guess!: Where's the Microscope?

 Hey there, readers! It's time for another guessing game! In the past, I have done close ups of dolls, so today, I am going to make the picture super small! The picture is by American Girl, and the doll is once again a historical character. Ready? Here we go!




 Yep, that's it! Which doll (with her book) is pictured above? Comment below with your answer! 

 Now you can see why this Guess! is called "Where's the Microscope?". Happy guessing! C U L8R! :Doll Whiz

Dolls in the Human World: The iPod

 Hey, readers! Loooong time no see! I've been very busy lately. What have you been up to? Well, today is July 4, the "birthday" of our nation! Yet this post has nothing to do with red, white, and blue or a summer cookout.

 This post, I believe, is the start of a new series here at Doll Whiz. It is called "Dolls in the Human World". Hence the title, these posts will be about the adventures of the dolls exploring human things. Check out this first one, "The iPod"!

 Nellie and Rebecca decided to go exploring. They went into the office, hoping to explore the desk. Luckily, the girls saw the chair and decided that they could help each other up it to see the top of the desk.

"Wow!" said Nellie. "Look at the size of that computer!"

 "Humans have it good!" said Rebecca.

 "Hey! What's that?" said Nellie.

"Oh, I know what THAT is," said Katie, who had appeared out of nowhere. 

"It's an iPog, said Katie. 

"What's an iPog?" asked Nellie.

"AUGGHH! You guys don't know anything about electronics!" exclaimed Katie in frustration.

"An iPog is only the coolest thing ever! You can listen to music on it, and play games, and go on the Internet!" said Katie.

"Can you turn it on?" asked Rebecca.

 "Of course I can!" said Katie. "All you have to do is press this pink button."

  

"Tada!" exclaimed Katie.

 "Oooh..." said the girls together.

"Now we just slide this thingy here..." said Katie.

"...and... Rats! It's locked!" exclaimed Katie. "We need a passcode!"

 "How about the letter B, guys? Do you think the humans would make their passcode the letter B?" asked Katie.

"I don't know," said Nellie and Rebecca at the same time.

 So Katie tried the letter B. And it didn't work. 

 "This is hopeless," said Nellie. 

 "No, it isn't!" exclaimed Katie, starting to lose her temper. She stomped her foot on the iPog.

   When Katie stomped her foot on the iPog, she punched in some random letters. "Let's try it," said Katie. So she hit the "OK" button.

"It's not going to work," said Rebecca.

Yet somehow it did work!

 "Oh, this is way cool!" said Katie. "There's a calculator and the weather and even a camera! But where are the games?"

 Katie swiped to the next page. "Oh, look, guys! Here's some American girl games!"

 "This is awesome!" exclaimed Katie. "I am so taking it with me!" And with that, Katie climbed back down the chair.

"Well," said Rebecca after a long pause, "I guess we should head back to the bedroom since Katie took the iPog."

 "Yeah," Nellie agreed.

So Rebecca started to climb back down the chair while Nellie took one last look at the desk top.

As the girls got back to the bedroom, they ran into Kanali. 

 "Hey guys!" said Kanali.

 "Hey," said Nellie.

 "You're never going to guess what we just did!" exclaimed Rebecca.

 And so the girls told Kanali all about their adventure. 

 

 So, I hope you enjoyed this photo story! As I said, I think that I am going to make this into a series, so keep an eye out for more! Happy 4th! :Doll Whiz

Camp Doll Whiz: Let's Hike!

 Hey, readers! Hope you are having a great day! Have you made hiking backpacks yet? (Click the link here to see how to make one if you haven't already.) If you have, then it is time to go hiking!

 Camp Counselor Nellie is going to let Cabin Sunbeam get some fresh air. Let's see what they will do!

 Before the girls head out, Nellie gives them the rundown. 

Nellie says, "Don't touch any plants. They could be poisonous. Stay on the trail and stay in single file. I am always at the front, so I can't see you in the back. Behave yourselves. Don't litter and leave the animals alone. But remember," says Nellie as her voice softens from sounding like a drill sergeant, "you're here to have fun. Enjoy the beautiful nature. Now let's head out!"

 A little ways down the path, the girls stop to stare in awe at the huge tree in front of them.

  "Look! A beautiful bird!" shouts Samantha.

 Nellie gives Rebecca the bird guidebook to see if she can find the name of the bird while Kanali and Samantha watch the bird fly.

 "I can't find it!" says Rebecca frantically as she flips through the pages.

 "Relax," says Nellie. "I'm sure that we will have lots of other opportunities to look at birds today."

After a while the girls sit down to take a break. Nellie hands Kanali the sunscreen.

 Meanwhile, Rebecca and Samantha pull the snacks out.

 Once the sunscreen and snacks have gone around, the girls sit and enjoy the nature.

 Their silence is broken when the bird is spotted again. Kanali asks for the camera and then takes a picture.

 Soon the girls head back to their cabin. They need to rest before their next activities!

 Well, the girls had a fun time hiking! (That last picture looks like a cha-cha line, doesn't it? :D) I hope you are enjoying Camp Doll Whiz! Keep on reading, readers! :Doll Whiz
