Clothing Trade and Playlist

I have an update on the clothing trade/sale thing. So I contacted all of the people I have listed who bought something from me, however there are 3 usernames that according to YouTube, don't exist. I could have spelt them wrong or something of the sort, but either way, I can't contact them, and I need to. If you are any of these 3 people, or know who they are, please let me know through my comments or these comments! That means if you are confirmed to have bought one of these items or this username is very similar to yours and we discussed buying something from me, it's likely you. If I don't get a reply from these people in a week, the items are back up for grabs, These items are:

The Denim Cowgirl Dress: 4EverAwesomeChick
The Blue Josefina Skirt: agcrazy2111
The LOVE Tee: waterailsshowe

I need contact info for these people ASAP! Otherwise someone else is able to buy them! If you think this could at all be you, or you know someone who sounds like this, tell me!

In other news, so far the comments are working perfectly in place of my overrun inbox, and everything is going so much better and more smoothly! I often got messages asking me questions so, seeing I almost ALWAYS have a video for that, there is now a playlist of all of my how-to videos! It's up to date and guaranteed to have what you're looking for! The playlist is listed on the right side of my channel, but here's it's link!

Also, if I don't have a solution to your problem, chances are, google will :) Thanks for reading!

Selling

Hey guys so I plan on selling some of the dolls clothes I never use. Why? Well I'd really love to get some new stuff from Etsy places and this is more to make room than to make money, so I'm not pricing anything. If you want something, send me a message and we'll discuss pricing but I can guarantee that we can negotiate it to anything just so I can get rid of it! Not that I don't like any of this, it's that my dolls NEVER wear it for whatever reason so it would be better off in another home. I'll be sure it's all clean before I send it to you! Payment is only by paypal but I recommend getting an account anyway because it's free, easy, useful and no need for sharing your credit card all the time! I'll tell you more about that if you message me about pricing! You can buy as much as you like and shipping will cary as well but I doubt it'll be much! Oh and buying from Etsy is good for the secondary AG market as well hehe! Anyway, here's what I'd like to go (Sorry these are the worst pictures EVER taken) :

Bottoms:

These pants were worn by Kyla in Search + Destroy! They don't fit AG perfectly, but they work with longer shirts! They are not AG brand.

This skirt was made by kittzykk with a Liberty Jane pattern! It's adorable but I don't use it enough.

These leggings were also made by kittzykk and once again are adorable, but I can never manage to get them on my dolls :P

This is Josefina's skirt. It's from one of her outfits (possibly retired?) and is AG brand. It will come with the red sash it was sold with I just forgot to include accessories with the photos.

I have no idea what brand this skirt is, but it isn't AG. It fits AGs perfectly though and it's in great condition, just not my style :P

Dresses:

This dress is from Battat, and although a little tight, it fits AGs well. It's denim and cowboy themed.

This dress is actually a dog dress so it's a little open at the back, but as long as she wears a skirt underneath, no dolly bottoms will be revealed XD It fits AG perfectly as well!

This is a retired AG dress that I got at AGP LA when I was 10... I'm going to miss it but I never use it so I'll sell it. It doesn't come with it's shoes, leggings or bag, just the dress.

This dress was given to me by someone and I believe it is home made! It would make a cute outfit for a younger doll, but mine don't really wear it much :P

Outfits:

This is the AGP New York PJ set. It's retired, exclusive and comes with both it's pieces.

Now we have Nicki's obviously retired, meet outfit. It comes with just the top and skirt and I LOVE the boots. I do love the outfit too but my dolls never wear it and never have a reason to. :/

This outfit comes with 4 pieces: 2 pairs of pants, a jacket a tee, oh and lets not forget the belts. I don't have all of them but I am selling all that I do have, which is most. They tie the jacket up. Sorry that they aren't pictured. This outfit is AG brand and retired as well. I don't have the headband or mats or anything either.

This is some pieces from an unknown brand that I got together. It's black tights, a red turtle neck and a fringy skirt. There is a matching scarf that isn;t pictured. It works as a costume of sorts and is tight on AG dolls but fits.

Tops:

This is a what I believe to be retired, light blue, AG exclusives hoodie from AG Place New York. Works for boy dolls too! I'm sad to part with it, but no longer use it enough to keep it :/

I am again, sad to part with this tee. It is a retired tee from an old AG outfit. It's adorable, but long forgotten by me and never worn. Although you can rarely have too many tees I'd like to get different ones.

This tee is from build a bear, and is slightly too big but fits when tied or secured with an elastic. It's pretty cute but just another shirt the dolls never wear.

This last shirt is the current "My AG" meet outfit top. It's cute enough but I never loved it all that much and it sits in my doll clothes box, never worn, so if you like it, buy it! It won't be around much longer! Doesn't come with the other parts of the outfit.

So this is all I am selling. Not doing trades by the way! Please message me to talk about pricing (It'll be super cheap, I swear!) And if you like ANYTHING here just buy it! I wanna be rid of it all ASAP! Thanks for reading and PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Tees and Posters!

So even though I'm still deciding what else to sell in etsy, I finished the new tee designs and posters! That's right, the tees have all new, and improved designs! And they're MUCH better! I also have all new, cheaper and higher quality posters which is exciting! Shirt prices are likely to stay about them same but the tees are better now. Why? NEW AWESOME SHIRTS and NEW AWESOME DESIGNS! Here's the Posters to start off:

Music in Me

Ask Asha

The Ballerina Project

Search + Destroy

The Palace Wall

Peyton

1000 Ships

Group Shot

Dotty GOTYS

And here are the tee logos!

Sunglasses Tee

Circular Tee

Dotty GOTYS

And here is what the tee actually looks like! Muchos better, non?

Well tell me what you think of them :D

Etsy :/

So I'm intending on selling shirts again on etsy as well as posters, but I'd really love to do something that contributes to the doll market. Since we've started to look elsewhere for doll products after AG continues to raise their prices, I want to make something that people can usefully buy as an alternative to AG. There's people who make clothes (I'm horribly slow at seeing) polymer clay jewelry and food (everyone does that) jewelry (I'm also bad at making quality jewelry) and even furniture (my dad can, but I cant) so here's the thing: what can I sell on etsy and make easily? I don't know what to do! I thought of fixing up old dolls and customizing them but that would be expensive and I don't know how many people would pay for a custom doll. I kinda like the idea of clay but everyone does it do I'd hate to be just another clay sculptor. Anybody have any ideas as to what to make? I just can't think of anything but I really want to make something special for etsy again. Something that I'm known for. Perhaps I should really work on my sewing skills... Nonetheless tell me, what would you buy from me if I sold it?

Series Decision and Etsy

So as it turns out, The Ballerina Project prevails! This I am happy and sad about. I'm sad only because I have a bit of a better set/costume option for Something Always Happens in Asia, but I'm REALLY happy because I couldn't think of ANY plot for Something Always Happens in Asia, yet I have a trillion ideas for The Ballerina Project! This will be much easier! I'll just have to reuse clothes sometimes... Also I made a video today and I'm trying to do as many as I can over this break including starting the series so I just thought I'd announce it! Likely start it on Monday or maybe sooner! Oh and about Etsy, I got a new order of tees in (THIS TIME THEY'RE LIBERTY JANE PATTERNS AND SEWN BY MONCHATDANSLALUNE SO THEY'RE 1000X BETTER!) And so I'll be able to continue with the custom ones, and in fact, I was kinda wondering if anyone's even still interested in the GOTYS ones, or if I should stick to selling custom ones. I'm also thinking of starting to sell posters again(FOR CHEAPER AND BETTER QUALITY :D) so I'm also wondering how people feel about that. Otherwise, I'm considering making customized dolls from TLC dolls, or maybe painting and re-selling doll beds or something... I dunno, big projects, but tell me what you think about shirts and posters again in the comments below! I'd have new posters like S+D, Ask Asha, The Ballerina Project, a new family one, maybe another group one and perhaps Peyton or Music in Me again! We shall see! You can suggest posters too! :)
PS, I'm thinking of renaming Cécile to Noëlle because I like the name better and I never got attached to the name... Thoughts? They're both French and I much prefer Noëlle, plus I've hardly had her long enough for it to be a big change so I'll see XD

iMovie Quick Fix?

So after getting iMovie I quickly realized that iMovie seconds are much longer than WLMM seconds. Now this is the only major downside and I still prefer it over WLMM any day but I wanted to fix it. I tried using framebyframe but can't figure it out whatsoever, and then I thought of something, why not speed up the video as a whole? So I tried it on my intro because it didn't require any sound and it worked! All I did was save the movie like I would to upload it, then re-import it and sped up the entire video at once. But here's the problem: music becomes sped up too. Then I thought, why not slow the music down in the original to the same amount I'll speed it up later on and so when I do speed it up, the music's normal. So I tried it out, and miraculously it works, however it's a little bit of extra work, so if you have any advice to speed up a stop motion on a mac, by all means, let me know! Now to figure out overlays... XD

A little perspective

So today I it a message from a girl new to YouTube. One question she asked me was if I could explain to her what a subscription is. Now I don't rally remember it but I have a feeling I didn't know what they where at first either. This kinda hit me, the fact that someone joined YouTube, completely unaware what a subscriber was was really cool. Everyone is so wrapped up in subscribers and addicted to them that subscribers are all they care about. However, in the end, you can be on YouTube without out even knowing what they are, much less caring about them. Subscribers are not the be-all-end-all of YouTube. Then I went to explain the concept to her. All I could come up with was that it was a little thing that gives you a notification when your favourite YouTubers post a video. An you wanna know why? That's all they are. Subscribers don't mean anythings and yet they are so glorified. It's not just AGTube either, even YouTube itself celebrates big number subscribers. I think that we all need to put our priorities into perspective. I've never cared an incredible amount about them, and I've never asked someone to subscribe in my time being here, but they've alway been important to me. We can still celebrate, but let's not put ourselves down because we have less subscribers, focus only on our subscriber count and glorify ourselves a if we have more than others. By definition, subscribers are no big deal.
