MY BLOG ANNIVERSARY! July 31, 2011

TODAY, JULY 31, IS THE 2-YEAR ANNIVERSARY FOR MY FIRST EVER AMERICAN GIRL BLOG, AMERICAN GIRL DOLL CENTRAL.
Wow. All I can say is…wow! I cannot believe two years have gone past. Just 2 years ago, I was a little 10 year old who barely knew how to use the computer correctly. And now, I have a youtube, blog, picasa….and have met SO many friends and fans. I’d like to give a shout out to Leanna Leanna, you have been with me from the START, right when I first made my blog and you are still an amazing OBFF to me. Hannie, I have had so much fun emailing and skyping over the years! You have become an awesome friend!! And all you Picasa girls…I can’t name you all but you know who you are. I love you guys- you are just amazing and the reason I keep on doing this. To those of you who kept staying my fan even when I disappeared from the web months, you guys are just awesome. To Mrs.O’Connor, thank you again so much for making and sending me that wonderful bed. My dolls still use it every day!
And then, there are LOTS more who I’d love to name but if I did, I’d never finish this post.
Today I was looking at some of my first posts….I honestly got a little teary-eyed.

This was AGDC exactly two years ago. I jumbled up my dolls together and wanted to make a good website people would like. Here is my first post:
“Hello everyone! I hope you all like my new website, American Girl Doll Central. It is all about fun, cool stuff that American Girl fans and their dolls do! I will be posting new posts as much as possible, stay tuned!”

I wanted to aspire to be just like Quinlyn or Liz, who had AG blogs that I read every day and loved.

(sorry for the blurry pic, I had to take this on my phone)

This is AGDC today. We’ve gained 5 new girls, and 2 new foster dolls (Kailey and Mia), plus 3 mini dolls.

And my newest girl

Where my dolls used to live back in 2008 (yes, it was super uncomfortable).

Where they live now including that lovely bed by Mrs. O’Connor

But the biggest change since 2009?

Samantha arrived to us as a sweet, proper, gentle lady. She drank tea and played croquet.

And now she’s just crazy
