TBT - Nicki's Bedroom

When Nicki Fleming lived in my house, she and Chelsea shared a room. The room was located under a folding table in the corner of a spare room, that was all of the space I had at the time.

 

I made the beds and bedding and the dresser is a jewelry box.

DIY - MyAG for Historical Alternative?

I saw a video a while ago about this very subject and I can no longer find it.

If you missed out on the opportunity to buy BFF dolls, archived historical dolls or retired GOTY dolls, you can create your own with MyAG.  This is a great alternative for parents who want similar looking dolls for their younger children.

*Not an exact, but a close match!

If your daughter missed out on Ruthie, consider MyAG #41.

She will not have gray eyes, but she is a very close match!

Consider MyAG #54 for Ivy

You will of course have to cut the hair to Ivy's length.

MyAG #51 for Kirsten 

(JLY#3 is hard to find)

  If your daughter loved Cecile - MyAG #46.

 Her eyes will be brown not hazel and she will have a side part.

MyAG #33 for GOTY 2007 Nicki Fleming

Both have freckles and blue eyes, #33 has more red in her blond hair.

 *****

*Note: These are suggestions for those of you with younger children who missed out on these dolls and may want similar ones for birthday or holiday gifts as a good alternative. Often time these once loved dolls can be more expensive on ebay than new dolls. I am not suggesting this for doll collectors.

Throwback Thursday - Nicki GOTY 2007

Pretty GOTY Nicki Fleming was BF with JLY#16 Chelsea. They shared a room for a while then I downsized my collection. Nicki was one of the last dolls to find a new home.

Nicki's Back Home! *Traveling Dolls*

Nicki arrived back home safe and sound! With her were the  pretty crafts that she made and Valentine's from all of the girls from the party. Her custom t-shirt was in an AG bag and to my surprise her journal was tucked inside too.
