FYI, today's "Daily Deal" is historical beds and pajamas half price. They have Kit, Rebecca, Josefina, Addy and Julie's. I'm assuming this is because they're about to retire them  

Also, there's free shipping over $100 this weekend.

They aren't retiring the dolls but are redoing the beds and pajamas. They didn't get a redo like the meet outfits did when they rolled out the new beforever stuff.

I'm not sure what they will replace them with (like if the new options will be better or worse - my guess is more historically inaccurate) but they are a great deal! I think I'm going to get Rebecca's bed. My mom got her Julie's bed (we have Julie) during s deal a few weeks ago. We don't have Rebecca but her bed is pink so Scarlett will like that.

No I meant retiring the beds (like they retired all the trunks which still annoys me). But maybe they are just redoing them. Still so far I have been wholly unimpressed with the "redoing."

Everyone seems pretty sure they are redoing them since beds/pjs are a common thing and it doesn't include Samantha's (new with the recent release) and Caroline's (also newish).

The redoing pissed me off but I've gotten some great deals on Julie's old stuff (which I prefer) so I am glad about that.

The cyber Monday sale still has some leftovers from a few of the historical dolls. Hairstyling sets for Julie and Rebecca I think.

Tomorrow non-historical stuff will be on sale - chestnut horse and some outfits.

Yup - SST is getting Julie for Xmas so I picked up all the Julie stuff on sale that I could one outfit was sold out though boo (the one with the gaucho pants).

The sales have been awesome! My mom's name is Julie and she graduated high school in 1976 so she bought Julie and her accessories for Scarlett and my niece last year. This year, she got them the beds and pjs during the recent today show deal in November. And I got them both stuff from the cyber Monday sale, which was nice because I could get my niece more than just one outfit since they were on sale.

It's probably good that I didn't know about the sales before, since I may have gone overboard buying stuff if I had.

Also, I hate the Beforever crap.

S/o AG dolls, I guess it's time for me to get DD3's doll some skates:

Sent from my SCH-I545 using proboards

So glad I didn't see this till late.
I've gone kind of overboard with AG stuff for DD. I'm so proud that she saved up to buy the doll...

She's getting matching girl/doll PJ's from AG (they were on Zulily); a cat (it was at Marshalls); and these pajamas:

which were also on Zulily because HOW COULD I NOT???


I've been knitting the freaking doll sweaters galore because I decided buying her a wardrobe would kill the budget. DD asked for a school uniform for her, so I made a uniform-style sweater that I'm really freaking proud of:

plus a knit cape (purple with furish edging, matching muff); a rose colored crossover sweater; and another that's pink, white, and orange (prettier than it sounds). 

If I can get my shit together I"m planning on sewing her the other elements of the school uniform (a skirt and polo) and a dress (I got some stunning pink silk taffeta for this) and a rain cape/boots... I have a bunch of other random scraps of fabric I want to make a few more items from (skirts, etc), as well.

I tried my hand at making duct tape shoes. Big mistake. Big. Huge. 
If you think you want to try it and tell me what the fuck I'm doing wrong that they look so freakish, please, do:




Oh... what I've learned through this: If you want to get a bunch of Pinterest followers, create an AG board. I went from having less than 200 followers to over 700 in like 6 weeks, when I started pinning stuff to make for the freaking AG doll.
