Treasure Hunt – FREE Clothes Your 18 Inch Doll

LisaMarie — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 21:58:56 +0000

Hey – It’s January and everyone is having a post Holiday clearance sale. We decided to have a little fun. This week we are holding a FREE outfit Treasure Hunt! This is how it works…

This week only (until Friday, Jan. 7th) there are SIX outfits in our store that have hidden buried treasure. When you purchase one of those outfits you will get another outfit from our store (our choice) absolutely FREE. Here’s the fun part… you have to find the secret outfits.

You can tell your favorite American Girl that all she has to do is add an outfit to the shopping cart, and then click the “View Cart” icon on the upper right hand side of the page. If the outfit she added is one of our secret treasure outfits another outfit will appear in the cart with a price of ZERO. If not… keep hunting! There is no obligation to buy of course it is just for fun – you can choose which treasures you would like to purchase prior to checking out (but you must purchase the secret treasure outfit to get the free stuff of course).

To make it a little easier for you we have added one secret treasure outfit per category (casual, fantasy, dresses, bedtime, sports, outerwear). Plus for some more fun we will be providing two clues per day via our Facebook page (if you don’t have Facebook you are welcome to call us for the clue).

Click here to start hunting… Good Luck!!

How To Assemble 18 Inch Doll Armoire

I know what some of you are thinking. After I confessed yesterday about my lack of hand/eye coordination and mechanical skills, you are thinking that I left the 18 Inch Doll Armoire to my sister Michelle to assemble because it was too hard for me. Not true! I could have done it I promise. The truth is that I ran out of time. I was visiting my family and leaving the completed furniture with my sister for gifts/donations and I was having so much fun playing with my nieces and nephews and Michelle’s new puppy Boo, that I didn’t get to the armoire (ok,ok, I admit it – I left the one with the most pieces until last).

But as my wonderful sister will show you, although the armoire has more pieces it is as simple as the other doll furniture to put together – just a few more steps. You can click here to buy the armoire (only $58.99) Here goes…

I Wanna See Mickey!!!

LisaMarie — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:22:02 +0000

As you may remember this August I had the pleasure of attending Blogher10 in New York City. It was a fabulous event full of learning, networking and inspirational women. The best part of the event was catching up with friends who I know only through the blogosphere, like Susan from 5 Minutes For Mom. Susan and Janice are twin sister bloggers who blog about everything from Parenting to Product Reviews. I have always enjoyed reading their blog and we participate weekly in their Wordless Wednesday. Susan and I have a lot in common, they also operate two fabulous ecommerce stores Pedal Cars & Retro and A Rocking Horse To Love (both ideal for Christmas presents folks!)

When I chatted with Susan at Blogher10 (you can see the interview about the Emily Rose @Home opportunity here) she told me about an extremely fun conference coming up next year being held at….. wait for it….. Disney!!!! Having grown up in England, Disney to me means fantasy. The thought of going to Disney when I was a child was similar to the thought that I could get to the moon. Well I have since had the opportunity to go there and I know how fabulous it is – to go with my family (especially Emily who would have a blast!) AND get a conference too… heaven!

So cross your fingers for me dear readers. If I get in we can plan a fun giveaway like we did when Emily Rose created the Dolphin Encounters special for her Emily Rose TV show. Meeting PJ the Sea Lion (just in case you didn’t see it I added below) made me all emotional – but when I see Mickey I always cry!

How To Assemble 18 Inch Doll Bunk Beds

I honestly can’t believe how easy these are to put together. You can see how quickly I manage it in the video below. One tip that I discovered as I was building – put BOTH screws in to their holes and alternate tightening them. That way you will never lose the 2nd hole.

I love these 18 inch doll bunk beds! Emily has had the factory sample for nearly 3 years now and they still look brand new – even though they have survived through hundreds of sleepovers.

All of the Wish Crown 18 Inch doll furniture is great quality, beautifully made – and hey you can’t beat the price!

These bunk beds come with an extra 4 bed posts – which means that you can either take them apart and use them as two different beds OR stack them. That’s TWO beds for only $64.99!

Here’s the assembly video…
