Hi, everyone! You guys asked some amazing questions last Thursday when I revealed that I had reached my 50th post. Today I will be answering all of your questions. And remember, even if you didn’t get the memo that I’m doing a Q&A, feel free to ask me questions in the comments, or you can contact me at americangirlsak@gmail.com or through my contact page. 🙂
Without further ado, to the questions!
The Blog Dolly’s Questions:
Q: What made you want to start blogging?
A: Well, I first started blogging way back in 2014. I had to start a blog for my journalism class as one of my assignments. That was the last journalism class I ever went to, because it was a few days before we moved back up to Alaska. (Notice how I said “back?”) Anyway, I stil started my blog, which was a fictional story about a girl who traveled to twelve countries in one year. It actually took me two and a half years to write, though. It is one of my biggest accomplishments. When that blog was finished, I still wanted to have a blog, so I debated over what kind of blog I should start. I was going to do a pet blog, but Loren from Happy House of AG inspired me to start a doll blog instead! It kind of reignited my love for AG dolls.
Q: Who was your first subscriber?
A: Avaroo2003!
Q: And what post did you get your first subscriber on (i.e. First post, second post, third post)?
A: My fifth post.
Emma – Dazzling Dollies’s Questions:
Q: What would your dream custom look like?
I would make her out of #24 with an English Toffee wig from Beautifully Custom.
Q: Who is your biggest inspiration when it comes to blogging?
A: My best friend and other AG doll bloggers. You guys are amazing and I get so much inspiration from y’all!
Laura’s Questions:
Q: What is the first doll blog you ever read?
A: Happy House of AG.
Q: What is the best book you have ever read?
A: The first Land of Stories Book – The Wishing Spell.
Q: Do you like baseball or football better?
A: Actually, I think both of them are insanely boring to watch, but I enjoy playing baseball.
Q: Do you like pizza or ice cream better?
A: ICE CREAM!!! I LOVE ice cream. It is amazing!!! After a while, pizza just makes me sick.
Kaylyn’s Questions:
Q: What is your favorite outfit that you have dressed your AG dolls in?
A: The outfit Morgan is wearing here.
Q: What is your favorite outfit that you have sewn for your AG dolls?
A: This outfit.
Q: Have you ever gone to the AG store? (If you did describe it).
A: Yes, I have been to the AG Place in Los Angeles three times. It was AMAZING! The store is in this outdoor mall called The Grove, which you can find movie stars occassionally. (I was too young to know about any movie stars, but chances are there probably was one there when we went.) When you walk in, there’s a display of dolls and cute outfits, and further into the store is the hair salon, where you can get your doll’s hair done! Crystal had hers done in braids. Upstairs is practically a gallery of dolls; each one has a little “room” with their collection inside. There’s GOTY stuff up there too, and Bitty Baby. Here’s a picture of the first floor:
This is the only picture we have of the AG store that my face is not in. 😦
Q: What kind of camera do you use?
A: It’s a Nikon D5000.
Q: Have you ever read any AG books?
A: Yes, almost all of them.
Q: Are any of your AG dolls’ ears pierced?
A: Yes, Crystal, Morgan, and Grace all have pierced ears.
Q: What was your first AG doll that you ever got?
A: I got Crystal for my birthday quite a while ago. She was my first doll.
Q: Do you have an etsy shop?
A: Nope, no Etsy shop. I don’t even know how those things work. (Someone please help!)
Q: What are you wearing right now?
A: A blue REI shirt that’s super soft and is actually made for camping, but I’m wearing it because it’s November in Alaska, and while it’s not snowy yet, it’s COLD!!! Also, I’m wearing American Eagle jeans with a brown belt.
Q: What did you eat for breakfast?
A: I haven’t had breakfast yet . . . I should go do that. I’m starving.
Q:What is your favorite color?
A: Purple. And then turquoise.
Q: If you had money to buy an AG doll which one would you get?
A: TrulyMe #24.
Q: What AG craft that you have made are you most proud of?
A: I made this really cool retro table out of scrapbooking paper and the cardboard tubes essential oils come in wrapped in paper. It kind of got destroyed when I did the pictures for an upcoming post. 😦
Emma’s Questions:
Q: What’s your favorite Bible verse?
A: 1 Corinthians 13:13. “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
Q: What’s your favorite Bible story?
A: Um . . . I like Ruth’s story. Or at least the Veggie Tales version.
Q: What is the most exciting thing that ever happened to you?
A: Well, at the ripe old age of eight, my family moved from AK to the Lower 48. That didn’t last very long, and we moved back up here. In the meantime, my BFF moved to the other end of the Lower 48 as well, but the summer we moved back she came for a visit. Halfway through her visit, her parents told her she was moving back to Alaska! It was a surprise for both of us, and we were ecstatic!
Q: What’s your favorite holiday?
A: CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Q: Are you most like your mom or your dad?
A: I’m not super like either of them. If I really had to choose, it would be my mom, but I have a lot of interests she doesn’t have.
Q: What are your 3 most favorite hobbies?
A: Read. Write. Blog. Repeat.
AG Doll Dreams’ Questions:
Q: If you could buy any AG doll, current or retired, who would it be?
A: TrulyMe #24. She’s gorgeous.
Q: Who is your favorite AG pet?
A: I really like Bonbon and Chocolate Chip. But the dalmation is pretty cute too.
Q: What is your opinion on Logan?
A: I DO NOT LIKE that AG has a boy doll. I feel like the words American “Girl” doll have been compromised. I just doesn’t sit well with me. I think they should have stuck to girl dolls.
Chris’ Questions:
Q: Big dogs or little dogs?
A: Little dogs are easier to snuggle with, but big dogs generally don’t bark as much. At least, in my experience, they don’t.
Q: Beach or mountains for vacation?
A: Beach.
Sophia!! :)’s Questions:
Q: Beforever/Historical or GOTY?
A: This is a really hard question. I loved the GOTYs up until this year, so I’ll have to go with them. But Samantha is GORGEOUS.
Q: Limo or Race car?
A: Definitely limo!
Q: What is nurses run backwards?
A: Nurses run . . . oh, that’s funny! 🙂
Natalie’s Questions:
Q: Favorite AG Mini?
A: Tenney is pretty cute. Also Kit.
Q: Favorite ice cream flavor?
A: French Vanilla all the way. Did you know that was Thomas Jefferson’s favorite flavor, too?
Q: What’s your favorite thing about your blog? (I.E. your design, your header, your posting schedule)
A: My favorite thing about the actual blog is the color scheme, but my favorite thing about having a blog is the comments. I LOVE your comments, guys. I get SUPER excited when I see them in my notifications bar and my email account. I smile every time I read them. 🙂
Bella’s Questions:
Q: What is your favorite YouTube channel?
A: For AGTube, that would be Mixiepixie7. For humans, that would be Studio C. (Who here likes Studio C???)
Q: How did you discover AG dolls?
A: The memories are foggy. I think my great-aunt got me a catalog and I found the website and played lots of games on it. 🙂
Q: What is the next doll that you want?
A: I would like #24. Or Tenney.
Q: Which Wellie Wisher is your favorite?
A: Willa is totally adorbs. 🙂
Q: Who is your favorite GOTY?
A: Grace, but McKenna is a close second.
Avaroo2003’s Questions:
Q: What is your favorite plant?
A: I like bleeding hearts. I know that’s a flower, sorry. But if you want me to name a plant plant, I like those cacti that have the bright red bulbs on top.
Q: Do you like dragonflies?
A: They’re pretty cool. I think they’re a bit frightening when they’re buzzing around your head, but they’re cool.
Okay, that’s all the questions! Thank you guys so, so much for helping me celebrate my 50th post!

Did you know that AG might be making books based on real political and heroic people? I don’t like that they are making one about Hillary Clinton. I like the others though. I don’t know if they will publish those books yet.

I did know that. I think it’s terrible that they’re using Hillary as a good role model. She’s not.

I loved reading your answers! That’s cool that you live in AK. Little dogs are so much better than big dogs, IMO. Ooh you watch Studio C? I’m curious how you found out about them. They’re pretty funny. I hope you end up getting 24, she’s gorgeous!
