Frugal Dolly Finds! Hit Or Miss!

Hey Gang!

So from time to time there are cheap things being sold that can be used for Barbie
and 1/6 scale dolls.  Here are a few things that are out there.  Hopefully you can find them
in your neighborhood if you like them.

First Up Door Ornaments!

These are being sold in Dollar General.  They are doors that are Barbie size!  I am
hoping to find them here but they have put out the Christmas stuff here yet.


Photos above are courtesy of Melissa Poe Chambers.  You can see that they are
Barbie scale! I was told that the decoration is hot glued on.  They can be carefully
removed.
Photo above is courtesy of   Linda Messer Perich the door comes in three colors.
They should repaint well if you need a different color.  I would call these a hit!

Next Up Is Wall Decorations!

I spotted these in the Dollar Store as I was about to check out!  I thought they might 
have been tablecloths.  I found a grass tablecloth last year that worked well and 
thought these might be a good find too.  There were two different pattern.  And the 
way that the packaging was, I couldn't see through to get a good look.  I had to go 
on only the picture on the front. I was hoping that they would make good backdrops.



The graveyard 


Because this are kinda thin, it works better with something behind it. Preferably 
something white.  It work better for the sky if it is something white.


 With a few other props, it is ready to go!

The brick wall.

 
The brick wall is to large for Barbie or 1/6 dolls.



I might find a way I can use it but not as it is.  
Tomb or Cave


So it is kinda of  miss!

OK,Thanks For Looking!

GI JOE –Hasbro 1/6 scale Chenowith Light Desert Strike Vehicle- Quick Post!

Hey Gang! 

So I won't be disappearing for the Phila. Flower Show,which started yesterday,
like in past years!  I will be doing quick posts during the Flower Show!

GI JOE –Hasbro 1/6 scale Chenowith Light Desert Strike Vehicle

I wanted to show you what I found at the thrift store for $2.50!
The Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV), formerly called the Fast Attack Vehicle (FAV), 
is a high-speed, lightly armored sandrail-like vehicle first used in combat during 
the Gulf War in 1991. Due to their dash speed and off-road mobility, the DPVs 
were used extensively during Operation Desert Storm. The first U.S. forces to 
enter Kuwait City were United States Navy SEALs in DPVs.



 Matt: Let's light 'em up!


Etienne: I love this darn thing!

OK! Thanks For Looking!

Meetings- Kelly's take charge!

Hey Gang,

So we last left off with Phyliss Kelly jumping in! She is now meeting with Etienne
to get a handle on the base.  The base is still under construction so they are meeting
in one of the odd rooms.

Etienne:  I just want to say how happy I am to have you here!  This is my first time
having an admin.  I don't really know what all you will or can do.

Phyliss: Really!  What did you do before?

Etienne: You might know our unit was in action in the Middle East for a while,
we then went from Texas to Europe for six months.  I didn't need a real admin before.
I have just risen to my new rank as General.  Prior to that... well...between Trina and
I we handled everything. Well...mostly Trina. She did her work and some of mine!
Hmm, I should do something as a thank you.
Phyliss: I will take care of that for you sir!  She was nice enough to give me a list 
of what you were working on and what still needs to be done.  Oh, there is some 
info on what has been done for the unit in the past. As you know I worked with 
General Lee and his admin Flora.  I even covered for her when she was on vacation. 
I think I have a handle on what is needed but I can always contact Flora
if I get stuck.
Oh, and I'll need your wife's info too!  
 Is she excited about her role as the base commander's wife?
Etienne: I have thought about that!  I haven't mentioned it to her!  I know that
the commander's wives did parties and stuff.

Phyliss: Sir, they do more that just that!

Etienne: Really?
Phyliss: Oh yes sir!  Maybe I can have a talk with her and feel her out about
how active she will be.
Etienne: OK, I know she wants to come by tomorrow to meet you. She asked
if you might be free for lunch?
Phyliss: Tell her that would be wonderful!

So it looks like there will be an Air Force reserve unit, a medical unit, a air traffic 
control unit, a flight and porter units.  What units will there be on the Army side? 

Etienne: What Army side?

Phyliss: Sir, didn't they send you the specs on this base sir?  She pulls out
the manual she was sent.
Etienne: No! I still waiting for somethings to catch up with me from Europe.
Phyliss: We are the main armed forces branch but there will be a presence 
from all the branches here. The will be a large, thou not as large as us, Army 
presents here too.  They aren't schedule to come for a while.  It will be important 
for us to...establish the best..uh...most strategic presents here sir.  I get on the 
phone and make sure all intell is here for your review sir!
Etienne: I might have needed an admin sooner!
So I know I need to fix Phyliss's hair.  I will get to that this year too!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Meetings, Orientations, Interviews and Encounters---Getting--Unit Transfers!

Hey Gang!


Etienne , Matt and Trina are working on who will transfer
to the Johnston Base! 

Etienne:  Before we work on anything else I need to talk to 
you two about your behavior! What has gotten into the both 
of your?

Etienne:  I expect better for 

you and from you!

What ever it is...end it now!  I am only going to say this once!  End it!
They both look down. They shake hands and will try to do better.


Trina: I have emailed you the files of all the soldiers who want to transfer. 
There are a lot of request files.  

Etienne:  Now...I will be picking staff for Leroy Cantrell.  Well... 
some of his staff.  



He will bring the other active unit members here.  Trina, you pick and give me 
the list of names you will choose for your reserve unit.  


Matt, when your unit selection is complete you will start training.  We can 
then schedule Trina's unit's training.


Trina: The police station is keeping me really busy.  I won't be able to help you with the
paper work, social planning an other stuff around here.
Etienne: Yeah, I am kinda worried about that!
Trina: You know I'd never leave you hanging!  Really... the social functions should be
handled by Renee' as your wife.   
Etienne:  Hmmm

Trina:  I talked to her about it a while ago and she is on board with it!

Etienne:   Really!

Trina:  Yes!  She said that you never mentioned anything to her about it.

Etienne:  I planned to get to it.
Trina: You know do need a real Administrative 
Assistant at this point!

Etienne: What do have in mind!

Trina: Not what, who!  I did some scouting around and some arm twisting and I think
I've go the perfect person for the job!
Etienne: Really!



Trina: Yes!  She was recommended highly by General Lee, she is versed in all
computer programs, our system, and a few languages!  She will keep your schedule
and coordinate it with Renee'.  


Etienne: Really!

Trina: Yes!

Matt: Sounds a little to good to be true to me!
Trina gives him a look! Then she catches herself.

Her name is Kelley, Phyliss Kelley.  And she is arriving tomorrow!

Matt: How is she arriving? Is she driving because the trains aren't running yet!

Trina: She is jumping in!  She's Airborne!


 Time to put this on!
 Here we go!
 Geronimo!
 Etienne:  That must be her!

Matt:  Who would jump out of a perfectly good plane!

Etienne: Sounds like my kinda soldier!


OK, Thanks For Looking!
