MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS GIFT

American girl christmas holiday gifts made by MY Pappy Barry.  An American girl parlor he copied from the AG book and also the boat with accessories.  My mom made the furry seat cover and the curtains.  My grammy bought the cupcake stand as a Christmas ornament and made the cross stitch violin picture that was an ornament as well.  The others were doll accessories and the Campfire was from the Walmart AG doll collection I believe made to fit Madame Alexander dolls. 

The boat was actually partially a shelf purchased by my mom that my pappy took and altered to create a boat well fitting to seat an American Girl with moveable sail and oars for rowing.  I had the bucket from a rak of items from my mom's mbtreasurista.com design team box and then I also added the handmade fishing pole crafted from a skewer and fishing lures.  My mom made a handmade net out of burlap and the other half of the skewer and then she made a small lily pad from felt and cardboard and added the rubber frog.    Here are the pictures:

This is a photo of me before my christmas program.  I love Harajuku girls and my mom found this outfit for me and then my aunt actually bought the bag for me another time so I was so excited to wear this.
