We love American Girl dolls in this house. We’ve had a couple of DIY American Girl birthday parties, Lila has dressed up as an American Girl for Halloween, I built a doll closet for all the clothes, Kennedy and I went to Chicago to see the original American Girl Store {I’ve been to four different stores in four different cities}, we’ve subscribed to the magazine for years, and we pore over the catalog when it comes.
Lila has been saving her money {for over a year} for a new doll and we stopped by yesterday and left with Isabelle, the 2014 Doll of the Year {and had a fun celebrity sighting}. The new doll has prompted a lot of talk about new clothes and new beds and new accessories and I’ve been doing some searching for DIY projects I might tackle for Lila’s upcoming birthday. I thought I’d share them with you in case you have some American Girl-loving daughters in your home! Check out these DIY projects for American Girl dolls and let me know which one you like best!

Hi! My brother has a My Pal boy doll.He likes american girl and he would like to take his american boy doll to the american girl hair salon for some papering. I was wondering if american girl would accept the non-ag doll. Thanks!

I believe they do take any doll but you could phone your local store to verify for sure.
