These are a few of my LIV dolls wearing wigs I found at various thrift stores, during what I now refer to as my doll years. 7 wigs so far. And 2 wig heads made from small plastic eggs that are not finished yet ;maybe I'll paint them - still undecided . The yellow one is just an egg, but the wig still looks good on it. The small form is from a MH set and looks great on a shelf but is too small to hold such big wigs😄

Has anyone "successfully " dyed a wig with Kool aid?  I think she really needs red hair but I'm scared to take the dip. Any and all tips are welcome. Thx again 💕

Found her at the thrift, on my way to work today. What a beauty,  fully dressed with shoes. I don't have a Liv doll with red painted hair and brown skin. Best $2 I spent today 😄

The scale is off for a wine bottle,  but for a beer or single serving of any libation, it might work. It was easy to make with a two paper tube of different heights and widths and then covered with tissue to smooth it out and refine the shape.

Madison likes her new outfit. The shoes are made out of cardboard,  foil ,paper and yarn. They came out bigger then I planned , but if I try I again ,I have a better idea of how to work on such a small shoe.

Had to save her right eye and both of her eyebrows. Her lips are my favorite. I love the effect of soft pastels. Even an amateur like myself can get a nice result😊

Both of these beauties fell into the hand of the "glitter monster" before I rescued them from the thrift. Now my problem is how to get it off their eyes without ruining the eye paint. Especially Madison. Her face is perfect except for the glitter addition.  I was thinking of masking tape ,but once again ,I don't want to peel off her eyes.  SO...ANY SUGGESTIONS? Any and all appreciated. Thx 😃

this is my first time finding these, so cute. I'm going on vacation for a few days and when I get back, get some money, and time to shop, I'm going to treat myself to a couple of the little girls. Moxie has such adorable  faces *,*

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 .

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.

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

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*,*

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

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 *,*

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

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 ...

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

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 *,*

Wedding Day-so it begins...

Before... Since PR-Threads and All-Stars are just not doing it for me this time. Those kids fill time, but are kids after all. And the "All-Stars" are all smoke and mirrors. It makes me wonder how many they had to ask before these showed up? And the creations that win the challenges, for the most part, just make me wonder what in the world is going on over @ LIFETIME? So I'm still hunting for the spark of life to my creativity, NEVER GIVE UP...NEVER SURRENDER*,* After: now she's my "Marie Antoinette". I put the "Marley" in my own hair and what I had left just screamed to be someplace, so here ya go :-) I braided it into her hair,since at some point, I want to be able to remove it-so no glue and no cutting; She was already so pretty w/her big 'fro and her flat feet;  I just wanted to make her opulent and regal. She's enjoying her winter garden...the beauty of sparseness...   "I wonder if there's any cake left......
