Adjusted Calendar 2020-2021, tentative

It's been almost two years since we made the pledge to create an Athletic/Fitness collection.  We sort of started it with cheer, but the prototype never really made it out of the drafting room.

With a few minor adjustments to our 2020 schedule, BOC Fitness is finally coming to fruition with a 4/5 outfit collection taking the place of our Spring/Summer collection this year.  Usually each Spring/Summer a massive collection unfolds, but this year we will dedicate the seasons to athletics/fitness.  Given that the Olympics was pushed back to 2021, while still featuring 2020, the fitness will continue into 2021 with a few more additional ensembles to round out the collection!

Tentative Release Schedule - 2020-21

🧵 BOC Fitness (as the Spring-Summer 2020 feature event)

🧵 Grease Tribute Collection will be featured as the "Christmas in July" 2020

🧵 Old Towne Christmas Carolers - the "old towne" event rescheduled to debut for Holiday 2021.

🧵 Gingham Paper Dolls Plate II - Fall 2020 (on schedule)

🧵 "Sheroes" Careers & Costumes - Fall 2020

Adjustments always happen, and this years rescheduling will allow more time for us to work through drafts while continuing to support the #make2give campaign and Goodfellow Doll Project. As always, we will continue to update our 'direct sell customers' here on the release of Beauty of Creating items.

The Gingham Paper Dolls were chock full of different clothing pieces, and those presented here are just a small representation.  We'd love to continue building this collection.  Follow us on this journey to see what comes next!

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! 🎉🎉🎉

Reimagining the Gingham Paper Dolls

In the continuation of celebrating the childhood classics, one cannot take that trip back to the 70's or 80's without talking about the hours spent playing with those adorable Gingham Paper Dolls.

Before learning to sew doll clothes, these colorful and delightful dolls: Sarah, Katie, Becky, and Carrie, along with their treasure chest of quickly installed outfits filled many hours of playtime!

Oh what fun it was, popping the dolls and their clothes out from the pre-cut pages! Back when I was a kid, the 'activity books' were a feature in the Scholastic Book Club. Come to think of it, the Gingham Paper Dolls were the first group of friends I ever collected!

This fall, Beauty of Creating brings to you, just in time for the holidays, our rendition of the four friends, modeled by our flagship Journey Girl Doll's by Toys R Us/TRU Kids.

Stay tuned as dissect, recreate, and bring this charming collection to life!

Bye for now!
