I Won The Giveaway!

Hey Gang,

I won a giveaway!  I won the giveaway from Phyllis of A Day In The 

Life Of My Dolls. I won an AA Made To Move Barbie. Woo Hoo! 

I received my Made To Move doll a during the weeks I was preparing

for the Flower Show, so I didn’t get a chance to post her. She also arrived 

before I had seen this doll in my area and that made her more of a treat. 

  

So thank you Phyllis!

I know many of you already have her and have posted pictures of her 

posing in all her different positions, so I would not. What I would like

 to say about her outfit and the outfit of the rest of the dolls in the line is 

that they didn’t go overboard with the pink.

That is nice for a change.  It is also a well made outfit too.  

I think they did a great job on the hair color also.  It is nicely bronzed.

This doll has a little slim figure….a more athletic looking body than other 

Barbie.   She has a smaller bust while having a fuller wait and thinner hips.  

So, I guess yoga fits.  She feels like a dancer!

I like her so much that I added two more to my collection!

Purple top and Blue top!

I have decided that she will now play the part of Lisa Laurent, one of the 

fraternal twins.

I like the calmer makeup of the new Keisha.  The new Keisha is a Asha head-sculpt
while the old Keisha was a Shani head-sculpt. Sadly, the Shani head-sculpt is still
under used.

I think my new Keisha will be a dancer!  She embodies the grace of movement of
her mother and

I think she will need to dance with her mother!

I think now I will display my Shani dolls in their outfits sometime soon.

Hey, I'm Back!

Hey Gang!

It is probably wrong to say I'm back when I didn't say that I've gone away.
Many of you know that I am normally busy at the Phila. Flower Show
and I was again this year.  I was there the whole 10 days of the show.  There
is no one to cover me at work.  I have get as much done befor the show as I
can and do a ton when I come back.

 This year's theme was Explore America.  It was a celebration of 100 years of the
National Parks.

This is the entrance of the show. 

My husband and I sat at the Phila. Cactus and Succulent Society booth.

Baby at the booth!

 Photos of the booth.

The booth is educational and we answered questions about cactus and succulents

More pictures.

We had over 100 examples of plants for people to see and as questions about.
We have info booklets to sell and info on are meetings.

 I saw this girl with these skates on while I was there.

 Baby and the buffalo.

 This stuff animal was there too!

The individual competition takes place in  The Hamilton Horticourt. 

 Orchids 

There are always a ton of beautiful orchids there to see.

People love taking picture of the show.

I took some close-ups of some of the flowers.

I think I might get into orchids this year!

Amoung the orchids I found this flower too!

Martha Stewart

I talked to her too!

 I won some ribbons.  Here are two.

 More pictures of  Hamilton Horticourt.

I know this is my doll blog, so I won't post tons of pictures here.
I post more pictures on my other garden blog.  I let you know when I do so you can look.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Head Swaps For 2015!

Hey Gang!

So here are some of the last of my rebodied dolls for 2015.  I am trying to rebody
all the dolls I use regularly. It makes it easier for blogging, photos and dios. I got a
bunch of bodies from the thrift store in September and had to hind them when I got
home.  I took me quite a while to remember I had them and to remember where I
hid them.

Last year I rebodied my Mattel Prince Naveen doll, known in my dollie world as
Rahim Reeves, onto a body that had three click knees.  That was good but it wasn’t the best.

He is now rebodied on to a Happy Family father doll.  He can now bend at the
knee and bend at the elbow and twist at the waist. His job will be as a
Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. He is wearing the Donald Trump suit.

I also have a Hannah Montana Lola doll.  Lola, known in my dollie world as
Phoebe, is on a Hannah Montana Stylin ‘ Fashion doll body.

The new body has arms that bend at the elbow and three click knees. She is
one of my college girls.  She loves color and she is a bit of a free spirit too!

My Princess Kida doll, known in my dollie world as Vikki, has been or her

original body since I got her.  I have been able to cover up the medallion
with a top but that is not what I really wanted.  I love her long white/gray
hair.  Long gray hair is unusual.  Many people with gray hair cut it but she
will keep her's long!

I have painted her eyes and now rebodied her onto a Fashionista Artsy body.

Full body shot!

I will feature her later as one of my Gray Foxes but not now!

I have had a Taylor Swift doll for a long time but haven’t decided if I wanted 

to sell her or not.  I don’t really think she looks like the artist. I liked her face
but didn’t like the body.  She had one of the Hannah Montana style bodies with
non bendable arms that sung. Nothing is worst than hearing one of those singing
dolls go off at 3:00 am!  Anyway, She will now be known in my dollie world
as Marilyn.

The eyelashes make her look Marilyn Monroe-ish.  She is on a Disney store
Rapunzel body.  She will be one of my college girls.

Another doll that I have had for reboding for a while is New York Minute
Ashley doll. She this doll has a different face that the older Mary Kate and
Ashley dolls.  I will have to post on that so you can see.

She is also on a Rapunzel body. Her name  is Alli and will be a high
school girl.

My extra Disney store Tiana bodies when to my Francie.

She has been on a Liv doll body. It wasn't a good match but was articulated

This new body is much better!

and Teen Skipper Nikki dolls.

I have tried to remove the necklace. It smeared.  I will try it again. 

It should come off.

The complexion is a good match.

 Lastly, My extra Fashionista Artsty body went to older model Pocahontas doll.

She received her new body and a hair cut.  Her name is Anita
