B.O.C. Unlimited...coming soon!
Does it seem like we're making you hurry up to wait? Do not fret...things are underway to get the American Girl/Our Generation, and similar sized doll fashions to you soon!
In the meantime, I want to introduce you to the B.O.C. Unlimited label if you have not heard about it. Beauty of Creating started crafting gifts for babies, which debuted over 20 years ago. About 10 years in we started designing and merching for Barbie brand 11.5" fashion dolls. When we started our exclusive rebranding for larger dolls in 2015, we meant to be inclusive of all dolls. However, because our flagship doll is the Journey Girl, many collectors/shoppers/friends did not quite understand that we were always inclusive offline.
About two years ago we started expanding our collection to include BFC Ink., My Sibling/My Pal, Our Generation, and American Girl. Each of these dolls have their own unique body and require special attention to make sure their garments are especially made for them.
Journey Girls will always remain our flagship, but in order to distinguish our exclusive merch for other dolls (most notably Our Generation/American Girl) we decided to create the "B.O.C. Unlimited" division, which will debut this Christmas 2019!
B.O.C. Unlimited joins our other entities...

Promises Kept!
A few months back we promised you that we would debut an American Girl Doll collection. In keeping with our promise, we're extending our invitation to the Wellie Wisher Doll, a 14.5" doll created by the American Girl Doll franchise.
Joining Truly Me 47, is none other than Ashlyn. This special event will act as a market test. Many visitors have expressed the desire to have our clothes and accessories in sizes to fit American Girl Dolls.
Because this years theme is wrapped around gingham, the first pieces to debut will derive from that theme! We want to do this early enough so that if these pieces test well, we will have plenty of time to extend the AG collection, adding a few more of our most popular Journey Girl outfits sized to fit the American Girl Dolls.
In the meantime, here is Ashlyn...let's give her a hearty welcome! 🎉🎉🎉

American Girl Doll Clothes by B.O.C.
Lately, I have received a message inquiring if we design for the American Girl Dolls in my eStores. We are open to direct sell customers, who would like a personal design by Beauty of Creating. You may take a look at our Journey Girl Collections and message us for direct sell inquiries here, IG, Pinterest, or Facebook.
We are considering offering a few options this year based on the highest demand of inquiry for our Journey Girl Dolls. If the support returns favorable, we will be inspired to design more.
How to gain our interest for AG Doll Clothes? Support us on social media by commenting. We want to hear from you.
Journey Girl Dolls were and remain the flagship doll of support, despite their reduced inventory worldwide as a result of the liquidation of Toys 'R Us (TRU-US). When we launched a tiny collection of clothes (Dec 2015), this doll inspired us like no other. We were excited because we believed in Chavonne and this lead to us building a complete collector's haul. The support was tremendous, inspiring us to continue. We did major investments towards gaining TRU some support for their Journey Girl Dolls. We reached out to family and friends. We pushed even harder in the 2016 and 2017, to very little return of interest. Only a handful wanted the doll. Many who said the price was too high turned to the AG doll that costs 3x the points of Journey Girl's.
The Journey Girl doll retailed at $40 at TRU. When I began a partnership with TRU, I tracked and reported any and all sales on the dolls. Very often the dolls dipped significantly to half price. Smart shoppers stocked them high for future sale. Those dolls immediately began to disperse at typical retail matched prices until the company released bankruptcy and dissolving their US stores. The online/private sell prices began to increase due to the impending shortened supply.
I remain invested in the Journey Girl Doll. Although I do not purchase at the same rate of past, I still collect these dolls. I love sewing for them, dressing them, styling for them, and taking their photos. Journey Girl Dolls keep me busy and they keep me inspired! I have so much in store for them. I get goose-bumps just thinking about what is next!
With that said, I am open to direct sell customers only who desire styles by Beauty of Creating for any doll of 18" that I can access.

Designing & Drafting the Court Tennis Shoe
For an entire year, we have collated the materials to design the and draft the first Beauty of Creating court/tennis shoe. This shoe is to pay homage to the classic K-Swiss and the Adidas - Stan Smith. These shoes were quite popular during the 80's and I definitely wanted a tribute/inspiration to showcase for our 18" dolls.
This shoe fits both all of the dolls wonderfully! Yes! Journey Girls and American Girl dolls have a universal shoe that both can wear! This is a first for Beauty of Creating, as we are working to integrate other 18" dolls from our collection into the workspace!
Here is the final draft:
As first drafts go, you find things that you should have included, and discover hopefully some useful tips to make the next draft run smoother than the first.
This project will not get shelved. We will continue to work through the kinks and hopefully soon, a few Journey Girls will sport these new court/tennis shoes!

The Jewelry Collection
Jewelry is an accessory and no outfit is really complete without a few accessories. Here at Beauty of Creating, we aim to make your dollightful experience to be a 'one-stop' boutique.
There is nothing more frustrating than running around trying to coordinate the perfect outfit, with the perfect shoes, hair bows, purse, and of course your jewelry. Though not all ensembles require jewelry, when necessary it is the cornerstone of the entire look! It literally can become the glue that joins a variety colors and textures in ways you never knew could exist.
***
Exclusively designed to fit the precious wrists of your favorite Journey Girl, Our Generation, My Life, and American Girl dolls, displaying a wide variety of beads and metal designs, we are currently introducing them via Direct Sell. Here, you...our Doll Friend, get to select your personal favorite and have it shipped right out to you in 1 Day!

Welcome "Truly Me" by American Girl
The month of May has been a busy one at Beauty of Creating. After consideration, we gladly welcome the American Girl Doll "Truly Me 47". We were very grateful to locate an American Girl Doll that we could bring into our family.
American Girl Doll's are also 18" tall, but their body measurements are larger than our Journey Girls, though quite similar to Our Generation and My Life brands.
Our signature doll remains to be Journey Girl by Toys R Us and we will begin to offer "made-to-order" outfits to fit your American Girl Doll.
