This year (unlike the production launch in Dec. 2015), Beauty of Creating not only will showcase a Back to School Collection, but also a separate Fall/Winter Collection (includes the Holiday Edition).
In Dec. 2015, the production was expressed in order to meet the holiday right after the immediate November Grand Re-Opening. Oh boy was November-Christmas a hustle and bustle time. Beauty of Creating accomplished a lot of work in 30 Days!
I was so stoked by the inspiring event of the 4th Annual Detroit Doll Show, that I could not believe how much blazing and burning up the midnight oil went on at that time. Now remember, I also started school in October 2015 for my second Master's degree.
These two events combined...
I still cannot believe how I achieved it all.
This years collections have not only the time for planning, but I am well aware that the
2017 Academy Collection is not going to be enough to fuel my creativity, which is another reason it is separated from the Fall/Winter 2017. I am in production as we speak for the
2017 Academy Collection and so excited for you to see what is in store for our Journey Girls Worldwide!
I have designed some new pieces to add to an existing collection, but overall these additions basically function as an 'upgrade'.

This was a hugely popular collection. Every piece in the collection sold with the exception of the plaid dress. At this time, recall, that Beauty of Creating was only a direct sell enterprise. The eBay store did not reopen until mid-2016, and that was just for a limited run.
I can only estimate the number of pieces but you will see a comparison/contrast. I think it is important to see our growth, but also how time can provide so much more to offer.
The
Fall/Winter 2017 Collection is going to be huge. I will tell you that it will launch at the
6th Annual Detroit Doll Show, November 10-12th, 2017.
Stay tuned. Thanks for your support. Continue to visit the
