this flashback friday post is dedicated to american girls dolls! so i've been posting about toxic's favorite xmas toys of old, but some of my favorite toys i received as xmas gifts in adulthood ~

like penny, my american girls doll.. for xmas 1999 santa brought me this american girls today doll which is made to your own specifications ~

which is why she looks & dresses just like someone i know ~

i named her penny but most ag fans would probably recognize her as being molly from the ag stories, just in modern clothes ~

i've kept her in mint condition in this american girls trunk (that was originally designed for samantha..) ~

the trunk is a luxury as i recall it being pretty pricey at the time in 1999.. she's such a favorite of mine ~

penny has kitties ~

from ag pleasant company ~

ag photo frame & box ~

the trunk holds all penny's stuff with its drawers & hangers ~

including sketchbook ~

as well as her art supplies since she likes to draw & paint ~

complete with real grumbacher paints ~

sketches & watercolors ~

& penny loves the outdoors ~

so she keeps her backpack ready for adventures ~

orienteering set ~

accessory booklet ~

includes working lantern, binoculars, water bottle & compass ~

& first aid kit & trail map ~

let's hit the trail! ~

2 years later i received another xmas american girl i call alex ;) ~

penny's best friend :) ~

(penelope & alexandra) ~

this time from 2001 ~

two great xmas's! ~

alex was also custom made to chosen specs ~

she has sneakers just like my skechers at the time ~

she also remains in mint condition in her trunk ~

again the trunk is originally associated with a standard historical american girl doll, this one is molly's ~

from the pleasant company ~

alex has cool belongings stored in the drawers of her trunk as well ~

she has classic taste in toys & is ironically a gumby fan ~

her extra clothes are kept on hangers in her trunk, but she & penny sometimes swap ~

my american girls dolls are some of my favorite xmas toys ever ~

i love these shoes ~

alex also has a working coleman mini lantern ~

& she has her lunch bag all packed & ready to go on an adventure ~

she eats healthier than i do.. lol ~

pizza, salad, banana, cookie & milk ~

so these 2 have had many adventures together over the years & added new friends to our 18" doll club, click the links in this post to meet them & click on dolls in the category list in the left sidebar anytime for much more! ~

meanwhile here's penny's secret journal & the girls kick ass pj party album (sound up) ~
