This board is TERRIBLY enabling [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Before I had joined, I had seen Jess on the AG website, and wasn't all that impressed. Now, thanks to everyone's posts and pictures I NEEEEEEED her.

Before I joined, I wasn't all that enthusiastic about my Samantha doll and her collection. After seeing everyone's albums I've realized that you don't have to be limited to the historic collection, or the clothes AG offers. You guys have dolls with some very creative backgrounds - and I am so inspired by all the lovely aftermarket and homemade clothes. My imagination is the limit!

This board has helped me to accept and love my doll as well. Seeing all the eras of Samantha has shown me that there's no one "best" version out there. They are all lovely dolls, and I have better use for my money than trying to recapture my childhood by blowing $200+ on a mint-condition white-bodied Sam. My Sam is wearing the cutiest tank top, hoodie, skirt and tennis shoe combo right now, and if I replaced her I wouldn't be able to have that freedom with her wardrobe.

Last (but not least), some of you have posted albums with Gotz "Little Sisters" dolls in your collection. Oh my goodness! they are so cute - I had never heard of them before but I knew I needed one. So last night I bought the most adorable Katie (name to change shortly) and she'll be arriving sometime next week! Yay~!
