ReplyDeleteI agree Maxine and Hope-Faith. Collecting has really helped me to focus more on family and getting back to traditions that should not be forgotten. So glad that I met all of you through blogging.

Thank you Maxine. All my love to you and Hope Faith!!!

ReplyDeleteI am so sad to hear this. We started reading back when Saige became girl of the year!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy for sticking with us all of this time. LADL will stay up as a reference guide for collectors.
DeleteSo cute! Oh I love what you did with the pictures. Sorry I did not have one to post due to my parents fire but most importantly I am sad to see the blog end. So many great memories. I love seeing all the dolls over the blog'site history. LADL WILL BE MISSED IN 2018.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad to hear the news but also relieved I have one more precious year with you! Coming to this site daily became the part of my life. But you will keep your amazing dollhouse and dolls, won't you?
ReplyDeleteTunde, Yes many of the dolls and projects will find new homes, but the favorites will remain. Thank you for commenting here. I appreciate your friendship.
DeleteWah!!!! I had just discovered your amazing blog recently. Why is this the last year? I love good doll blogs and yours is so neat. I esp love the mini doll blog as I've never found anything like it.
ReplyDeleteHi Loretta, Thank you for reading both blogs. LADL will remain up online fro reference. Personally I have other projects that deserve my complete attention, which is why I will complete this year before transitioning.
DeleteI'm sooooo sad to hear this. Hoping one of the lovely correspondents considers starting their own.
ReplyDeleteI am sad that LADL will come to an end on December 31. I have greatly enjoyed being a part of this doll world blog I hope that we will find a way to stay in touch as great people meet at this site. Madelon

DeleteEveryone can continue to meet here whenever they feel need or have the time. Lots of memories to revisit and projects.
ReplyDeleteThank you Madelon for EVERYTHING! We are family.
Well, I'm sad to hear it--but completely understand. Thank you for sharing all of your dolls with all of us over the years. My girls and I have always enjoyed checking in to find the latest news, see the fantastic photos and get awesome doll craft ideas and sharing our own doll fun. It has truly brought us closer together as we shared our love of dolls and doll fun and we will miss tuning in to LADL! Thank you for that--and all the best in your final year! :)
ReplyDelete:( Will definitely miss checking LADL at 16:00 sharp (time zones haha). I remember tuning in every day before i even had an AG doll, i was so keen to start collecting! LADL has really inspired me although I've only been tuning in since 2014 and i can't find any blog like it! I will truly miss everything, especially the kindness and the in-store reports, since I've never been to an AGP. Honestly, i cannot imagine years without checking LADL daily, but i understand you are only doing what is best for you. I don't know if this will be my final goodbye, but i just want to thank you for everything from the posts, to the crafts and of course to the generous giveaways! Will definitely miss it, but good luck!
