How It All Started

On a little girl's birthday one year, her best friend gave her some lovely doll PJ's: Julie's Pyjamas.  She loved them, but she had no dolls to put them on. *sigh*

     Soon, AG catalogs kept coming to her house, and she fell in love with them.

     One day, that little girl was shopping in Michaels. She passed a isle full of dolls, and asked her mum if she could get one. She said yes. Soon, she had two Springfield dolls and some Disney dolls. That same friend had four American Girl Dolls, and the little girl desperately wanted one.

          That Christmas, she was allowed to go downstairs before everyone else. She stopped dead in her tracks. She screamed. There, standing in a beautiful box on the floor, was an AG Doll, and it looked just. Like. Her. She was overjoyed! She played with her for months. Her parents said "One is enough," but it was too late. She had fallen in love with Marie-Grace. She loved M-G, but by summer 2012, she had finally concluded that she didn't need another doll. 

           In Christmas 2012, she went downstairs with everyone else. She brought down Emily (MAG #37) and her eyes wandered over to a box, similar to the one she had received outside of a doll. The only problem was this one was wrapped. She ran over to the box, Emily in hand, and measured the two. Emily was smaller than the box, so it couldn't be another doll. Oh well. She thought. 

Well, she unwrapped the box, and there, staring up at her, was Marie-Grace. She was overjoyed to have a new  doll, but puzzled at why it was Marie-Grace. She loved the doll, even so. Actually, she had really liked McKenna's story (not so much the doll...) so she named Marie-Grace: McKenna. Eventually, it became MG, then Marie, then Marie-Grace, then Grace, or Gracie.

          In February 2013, the girl was allowed to open her presents before school. She got a gymnastics collection and some other things. Her Mum told her there was another surprise waiting for her in the front room, so they all went over there. Standing there, was the beautiful Saige Copeland. She played with all of the dolls, but the little girl started to play less. She would occasionally change their outfits and hairstyles, but that was about it. One day, the typed in 'American Girl Doll' to youtube. She was amazed at all of the videos, and spent lots of her free time watching them. She bonded again with the dolls. She was hooked on Over The Palace Wall, The Ballerina Project, and Music In Me. For her birthday in 2014, she received Isabelle. When school finished in June 2014, she asked her mum if she could get a Youtube. She wasn't sure. The girl had thought about this, so she told her mum she would not say her age, name, location, she wouldn't show her face, etc. and her mum let her! The little girl chose the name Callie. 

             So, Callie made her first stopmotion without a tripod in late June, and was subscribed to by AGSmiless. Later, she would find out that her friend wanted to surprise her, so she asked Alexis to do it. Anyway, the stopmotion wasn't that great (it was okay) but it was accidentally deleted later on in the year. She made videos with her iPod, but that wasn't good enough so her parents surprised her with a Nikon Coolpix mini camera for about $50 from London Drugs. That was good, but didn't seem to cut it. Her dad let her use his Fujifilm HS 30 EXR camera, and eventually let her have it. She started taking some really nice photos, and was quite pleased! 

             That summer, she had really grown apart from Grace, and fallen in love with #61. She also really wanted a boy doll, and the condition was, she could sell Marie-Grace and get another doll. They got a boy doll, but Grace wasn't up for sale, yet. 

               In November 2014, she attended the Rockstar13Studios meetup at the AGP Seattle. She was going to purchase #61, but she was out of stock! She noticed another doll she had never seen before, and it looked even more like her than Emily did! She had recently got bangs, she had red hair, green eyes and freckles, so she bought MAG #38 (Lizzie). She had to pay for some of it with her own money, but Lizzie was partly an early Christmas present. Soon she had reached 300+ subscribers on YouTube, and over 1800 followers on Instagram.

           Doll by doll, the collection began to build. On July 6th, 2015, she shared her real name with you all: Diana.
