New Year!

Happy New Year! 2015 is off to a good start (knock on wood). I still had to do cig count at work but it wasn't awful, and there weren't any super crazies so I count that as a win.

On the AG front (it's tradition!) I spent the evening at work pondering the Grace situation. I really want Grace. Like, reallyreallyreally, but I couldn't figure out whether to get her with her ears pierced and/or her 'Welcome' accessories. I threw her in my cart when I got home and nearly fainted at the price.
So I thought some more and finally decided to give it another few minutes and I'd check PT... where I promptly found out the Crayola code is/was still working. I scampered off to try it and it still worked! So I put Grace and Grace alone in my cart and it was essentially like getting shipping for $2.95. Which was pretty close to free shipping so I said yes and bought her.

Come on, you knew I was going to, it was just whether I'd choose to buy anything else right off the bat, too. Which I didn't because payday isn't until next week. But I was sorely tempted and had I not been afraid that at any second they'd revoke the code, I probably would have gotten her City outfit or maybe her coat. Alas, she and Kaya will rejoice in all the goodies from the previous sales until I cave on some of her stuff.

Now to gather the new AG stuff or nap. We'll see which wins.

AG New Release Roundup

First up on our Annual GOTY roundup, let me point out that for the first time, AG has set up an easy way for you to donate to the year's charity of choice. This year's is No Kid Hungry and if you'd like to donate $1, $5, or $10, you might want to click here. I o wonder if you'll be able to use this to top off an order to reach, say, $100 to use free shipping when those codes roll out later in the year. In any case, I thought this was worth sharing right away. :)

There is no Starter Set this year sadly, but if you're interested in Grace, there are numerous ways to buy the doll.

And now for some non-Grace stuff!
