"I wanted to utilize a very unique theme with elements that were never seen before in other kiddie birthday parties. I pictured the party to be something colorful and girlie, just like Jill. At the same time, I wanted a touch of sophistication which was new yet still kid-appropriate. This is why the Kimmi Junior dolls would be the perfect theme," explains T-One.

According to T-One, Kimmi Junior dolls are the latest addition to the stylish kokeshi doll collection called "Kimmidolls". With its main theme, "Friends Are Fun", these individual dolls each have a Friendship Passport that includes a name, a playful personality and written personal motto packaged together. This allows collectors to widen their circle of friends, share their doll's mottos and enjoy their hobby of doll-collecting.

Remember that the $ 20 credit that I have spoken to sign with the Rue La La? The credit is not available, but if you have it, then you can get a lot today in some American Girl products (yes, the real American Girl products).

Today on Rue La La, they have several American Girl dresses and mini-dolls for sale! They have three mini-dolls available (Ruthie, Josephine, and Elizabeth) for $ 15.90 (reg. $ 22).

I discovered an amazing set of patterns from the Etsy shop Creations by Deevee . The shop owner Denise has two great furniture patterns that I highly recommend for any one who has a sewing machine and likes to create items for their dolls.

I recently made the 18 inch sized doll couch and was thrilled with how it turned out. I love that you can easily sit three dolls on the couch. I used an old greeting card as a picture for the dolls living room.
