American Girl Heaven
(Photo isn’t mine; If you’re the original photographer and want credit, just let me know)
You may have noticed as you read the books as a kid that all of the girls in the historical AG line have birthdays in the spring, most of the birthdays happening from March to May. The only exceptions are Kirsten, whose birthday is on June 8th, and Kaya, whose culture doesn’t really have a celebration for birthdays (AG tends to celebrate it around the Nimipuu Salmon Runs Celebration, usually in August).
I usually like to celebrate each character’s birthday in some way, weather it’s just drawing that character in their birthday outfit or just making a mental note to myself. School and life tend to become stressful around this point in time I find, so celebrating these character’s birthdays in some way is a nice distraction for me.
I’d like to post something for each character on their birthday on this blog, but I’m still mulling over what I should post exactly. Be sure to keep your eyes pealed in the near-future!

Addy’s Scenes and Settings part 2

Addy’s Scenes and Settings part 1

(FYI I didn’t scan these things myself, I downloaded pictures of someone else’s scans. I’m afraid I don’t recall who originally scanned them, but let me know if you were that person and I’ll leave a credit.)

Pen Pal Pack part 3 (2004-2007)

(Does anyone know what that weird envelope thing in the last two pictures are? It looks like it could be closed up by tying a ribbon through the holes, but I’m not sure how it would hold items/letters.)

Changes for Addy

(When I have access to the older Addy books with the original illustrations, I’ll make a new post showcasing the original illustrations)

(“There’s a time for each of us to die,” said Auntie Lula. “We don’t all make it where we want to go in life.”

Oh Addy why do you have such quality and such sad books)
