The Announcement You've been Waiting for:

The prize for "I want Candy" has finally been purchased (I know, took me long enough!) and we're ready to announce it!

The newest addition to our family, Tatiana, is tired of the dreary rain and gray skies, and is ready to hit the beach in this month's prize! Get a jump start on summer with the AGP exclusive, Summer Accents.
This set comes with a headband to keep her hair out of her eyes on windy days, a pair of sunglasses to protect her eyes when she's taking long walks on the beach, a pair of socks and a pair of shoes to slip into when she's done swimming. We also picked up a bucket hat to go along with this set, when your girl is tired of wearing her headband!

Tatiana's towel and swimsuit are only here for artist license, and aren't part of the set.

Tatiana tried on this collection for modeling purposes, but otherwise, everything is brand new and was put back into its box after our little photo shoot. The hat still has it's tag from AG on it, and Tatiana would also like to mention that her feet are clean and not all stinky, so the socks and shoes are safe. :D

Paparazzi - And the Winner is!

Kailey and I are very excited and happy to unveil our first winner, which is iknowcool's Pregnancy Rumor Confirmed!




Thank you all so much for both participating AND for sending us so many votes!

We've had so much fun doing this, and we loved each and every one of the entries we got!
We hope to see your entries for next month!

Speaking of which, I was also supposed to unveil the prize today for the Candy contest, but I was unable to get to the store this week. I know roughly what I'm going to get, and rest assured there WILL be a nifty prize for this, but I hate to announce it and then have it sold out or something, so I'm going to wait until I actually have it in hand.

February's Theme - I Want Candy!

"The Valentine's Day Bedazzler Strikes Again"
Syd's Not! Entry


I Want Candy!

Everyone loves candy, even AGs!
Do yours love to munch on Skittles? Hold lavish parties with Candy Corn? Or maybe they're a bit more avaunt garde and like to wear dresses of Twizzlers?

Go wild, be creative, dust off that Christmas candy you've still got lying around, and send us photos of your dolls and candy.
Anything goes, as long as we've got an American Girl interacting with some kind of sugary nibblet!


Photos are due by 6pm on Friday, February 19th, 2010
After 6pm, any bribes attempts will be considered, erm, I mean, ignored, and no more entries will be accepted.

There will be a prize for this contest, but I've yet to pick it up/decide what it will be. Please stay tuned for that info! We'll let you know ASAP.

The rules and fine print from January apply. If you're new to entering the contest, please take a few minutes and run through that blog here

This isn't addressed in that blog, but I'd like to mention that entries are welcome no matter where you live! You don't have to be in the U.S.
As long as you've got a postal service of some sort so that I can mail your prize to you should you win, you're more than welcome to enter!

I'd also like to mention again that this contest is in no way endorsed or affiliated with the website AGPlaythings. It is run solely by Syd and Aaryana.
We are also not affiliated with Mattel or AG in any way.

This Contest is also strictly for fun, not profit, and it is totally free of charge.
If someone tries to charge you regarding this contest, it's highly possible that my money hungry, slightly-less-than-honest #30, Kei, has hijacked my laptop, and such e-mails should be ignored.
