American Girl 2013 Girl of the Year - Saige - I'm Giving One Away!

Yes, it is true! I'm giving away one of the new 2013 Girl of the Year dolls from American Girl! Saige is, as American Girl says, "a spirited girl who draws on her passions to inspire action. The Saige doll is 18" tall, with bright turquoise eyes which open and close. She has long auburn hair which can be brushed and braided, and comes with both pierced ears and an artsy ring!"

I think Saige is one of the prettiest American Girl dolls. I really love her auburn hair and the "smattering" of freckles really is a great detail which makes Saige a very cute doll. Yes, the attention to quality, design and detail show in every inch of Saige, but the thing which I love the most is the message which accompanies this doll. Saige has to learn how to deal with changes in relationships with friends and with how she feels when her grandma is injured. Saige shows character in the way she doesn't give up on her project to help her school, the way she continues to work on strengthening her relationship with old friends while getting to know a new friend and in the way she works hard to help care for her grandma's animals while she recovers
 If you check the American Girl website, you'll find info on a free app featuring Saige, a contest where you can win a Saige prize package and how you could help your school win a $10,000 art grant.

Saige is a beautiful doll with a great story; she is a doll girls are sure to love! I'm so delighted for the opportunity to give away the one they sent me! If you are over the age of 18, live in the USA and have a girl who you know who otherwise would not be able to have a American Girl doll, this contest is for you! If you win, who will you give her to?
