My American Girl Doll (giveaway now closed)

Not too long ago, I told you all about Shine On Now and how little girls everywhere can make a difference. I hope you've been utilizing the new website and inspiring the little girls in your life to think about what they can do be a positive influence on their world.

I'm here to tell you about the new American Girl Dolls available today! They are a line of dolls called My American Girl and are fully customizable. In fact, there are 40 different styles to choose from so every little girl can have a doll that's close to her own resemblance. When you order a doll, you'll be able to choose a hair color and style, eye color, and skin color (including freckles or no freckles). If you want to pay a little extra, you can even have your doll's ears pierced.

And once you get your doll home, you can jump on to Innerstar U University for a fun way to interact with your doll online. There will be more details on the website soon and keep your eye out for books to be released this fall based on the new Innerstar U University page! (Psst...click here to explore the campus to get a sneak peek.)

So, if you were going to order a doll, what would yours look like?

Go ahead over to the American Girl website and check it out to get an idea.

Also, may I remind you of something? Today is the day when you can begin donating stars at Shine On Now so American Girl can donate up to 1 million dollars worth of items to some wonderful charities. Please don't waste another minute. Sit down and donate some stars today. Then hurry back here for...

THE GIVEAWAY!! Now Closed!

Yes, I'm giving away one doll to one winner. It will be fully customizable to the winner's taste and is worth $95!

Normally, I have a lot of ways you can gain extra entries in a giveaway but this one is a little different. Since it's based on the new movement of Shine On Now, I want that to be the main point of this giveaway. Therefore...

To Enter:

• Tell me about the little girl you would gift this doll to and what she does to make a difference in her world. Maybe you feel like she's not old enough to initiate something on her own just yet. That's alright. Tell me about the ways you're encouraging her to make a difference and help out. (include your e-mail address for your entry to count.)
• You can gain additional entries by tweeting up to 2 times a day. If you want, you can say, "I want to win the new American Girl doll at www.coffeewiththemrs.com! Giveaway ends July 30th. @themrsc." Please comment with a link to your tweet each time. 

Please leave a separate comment for each entry. This giveaway will run until July 30th at 11:59pm ET. The winner will be selected by using random.org and will be contacted and announced on or around July 31st. If the prize is not claimed within 48 hours, I will randomly select another winner.


**The thoughts and opinions shared are my own and others may differ from mine. As a participant in this campaign, I will be given a My American Girl doll at no cost and will be able to give one away. Thanks to American Girl and Cohn and Wolfe for the opportunity.
