HI,

Hope Julia doesn't mind me telling you this...she created the party ideas in the new issue of Imagine. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img] DD & I had a blast trying them out. We plan to set up a "photo shoot" & post pics soon.

Thanks everyone. Just placed an order for my copy of "Tiny Treats". I can't wait for it to arrive. The miniture book mentioned in the past along with Julia's name; is this an AG book too? Ooooh I sure hope so. Thanks [img]biggrin.gif[/img] ~Bugs

The mags are still coming. I got two copies today. Not sure how that happened, but I'm sure Ashley won't be complaining about having her very own copy!

We got our copy in today's mail. It's really cute. I'm sure my DD will love looking through it when she gets home from school. For those of you who haven't received yours yet, it will probably come soon! - Meg B.

Alright, I cannot wait any longer....I HAVE to go get Tiny Treats today! I was going to wait until the next AG club meeting at Barnes & Noble to pick it up, but that's not until the 25th. By the way, we are celebrating Kit this month, and the girls will learn how to make a newsletter like Kit did.

My daughter will be so excited to make an unexpected trip to B&N after school! I called them and asked them to hold a copy for me, and the lady on the phone who went back to the kids' section to pull the book said, "Oh my gosh, this stuff is so cute!"

I got the trial issue, & sent in the free subscripton form in Jan. I think because I forgot about it. I hope it's not to late! I hope I can get mine soon!!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That would be a great idea! They did use a couple of retired outfits inside, though. The Weekend Fun outfit and Paisley dress are both gone now. It would be nice if they used only outfits they are currently selling, and put the dolls in new poses.

Although, on the crafts page, I like how they mixed pieces from different outfits on #25. She sure does look cute in those rectangle glasses! I wonder if the purple shirt maybe came from the retired Denim Jumper?

Anyway, I think the mag is really great for girls, but it could be much thicker. Especially if it is soon to become a subscription to pay for.

I got mine last week. I'm quite disappointed with this publication, they could do so much with it, but they aren't stepping up.

At least half the pictures inside are the exact same as the "stock" photos from the website, and there really isn't much new content in the 22 pages.

I absolutely love the Imagine pictures on the inside back page, but even this isn't a new idea, they were doing this with the original AG magazing back in the 90s (not sure they still do), and they even published a book with the same idea, Imagine the Girl in the Picture or something.

I can't wait until they ask for some sort of review on the magazine, I'm going to say "love the concept, but it's too short." I finished looking at it in about 5 minutes, and it wouldn't have taken more than 10 when I was in the target age range.

They thanked me for the feedback & said they welcome all reviews. IMHO, I think it's short because it is free. For a free publication I was impressed. I don't think they would expect paying subscriber's for such a small magazine. If they receive enough positive feedback they will most likely make it longer & a paid subscription.
