Transition Time *,*

Image
Well for the the 6th time in the 12 years that I've lived in AZ, I'm on the move. Time for a new address, for so many reasons...but I'm also breaking in a new phone. My old phone was 3 years old and on it's last leg. I loved that little phone, but the future waits for no "grandma" :-D Any way...I don't know how to blog on my new phone-yet. I found a little pack of " BARBIE " accessories @ Walmart for $2.44. a pair of shoes, pair of sandals-turquoise, they need paint,but cute; a purse and jewelry. I don't have pictures. but I can't wait to get up and running again and show off my finds. See ya next year...Let's all have a fantastic 2015! Thanks for hanging in there w/me *,* nyw I don't own this drawing, and hope the artist doesn't mind if I use it, cause I love it .

Four MY SCENE DOLLS

Image
All dressed, but not shoes. Their hair needs to be restyled, but that is to be expected. New to my collection is the "tan" blonde. Her hair sandy blonde/light brown and she has much softer makeup than my platinum blondes ones and her skin is also light brown.

Beautiful, unique face

Image
She is obviously the Egyptian Barbie. Her hair is crimped, to look like braids. But that face was worth $3. :-)  Uniquely lovely.

Check out what I found...and had to leave @ the thrift store today:-(

Image
A whole tribe of BRATZ dolls. Oh my...I don't even collect them. But seeing so many, fully dressed- shoes/feet and all. And look at her ice skates...I had to call my daughter for the strength to just walk away. Had to take this picture so that I could share my sorrow- I know boo whoo but you have to admit the boys are cute. Just not in the budget right now. Especially since I do collect MY SCENE dolls, and I found three more "Madisons" and a new face I don't know. (Pictures up soon). I love the thrift store...sometimes*,*

Don't you just love a "vintage" pattern?

Image
Vintage inspired reprint,anyway. Super cute jumpsuit:-)

Saw this at Hobby Lobby

Image
even though these are ornaments...I think any "Ken" would love to have them in his tool belt. I'm starting to regret NOT getting this when I saw it last week. If I'm out that way, I'll have to spring for the $4...regular $7.99 *,*

Inside the school

Image
look how B.B. (baby bratz) is paying attention, right up front... There's Taylor (HSM) showing off again, before the teacher even asks the question... and just what is Sharpay (HSM)-don't like that name...need a new on-how about Shayla- about to do? Text and tweet, then she'll eat :-D

Colin and Karren

So the story was going to be about this family that opens a school and the adventures that ensue...really adventures? Nope. I was married for a while, so domestic life doesn't fascinate me, I lived it, no need for the dolls to suffer...laugh w/me :-)  I don't want to build a "house". Kitchens and bathrooms have so much detail, that if done poorly-just not cute, ya know? And kids at play, not-so-much ;-p I already made a preschool/daycare full of all the babies I've found at thrift stores all over Arizona-old post-not doing any version of that again.  I have built one High School class room with the desks I found at the thrift-super cute. Just have to take a picture that does it justice. And my two little girls (Amari and Alexandria,the baby) match "MYSCENE" Madi  perfectly, and I have 13 of those. So teen life awaits. Long list of "what I'm not going to do", now I need a list of what I am going to do...right? The bare bones exist, but no

My boxed "Orange Blossom"

Image
I found her around the time my first grand daughter was born 8 years ago, and never really had a reason to take her out of the box...until now. She's going to be in the "diorama". I know,photo story was a bit too ambitious for my first try. And now that I have two grand daughters, I'm sure they will be excited to see her set free, so they can try to convince me the she should go home with them :-D

First things first...Hats off to all of you creative people who do PHOTO STORIES!!!!

Oh my, this is harder than I thought. The ideas are easy...my head is full of them, all the time. Good ones and not so good ones;especially when I'm trying to do something else. Dolls are on my brain. But the execution...you people are geniuses-and I'm not quite there-yet :-D  Once again thank you for the inspiration and on w/the show *,*
