Detroit Doll Show is Now!

I did nothing yesterday...well, I did not do any work!  I took the day off to relax, relate, and release.  I should have done the prepping, packing, and paperwork, but I did...N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!!

So, here I am today, Thursday, the day before the Masquerade Party and I have so much more to do.  One more outfit to sew and assemble the 'travel'...hint. hint.  I need to decide if the 'purple pack' is going...jury is still out on that!

Packing up...and getting ready.  We're bringing all of the goodies.

I will see you there!!!

Detroit Doll Show Web Promo 11/02/2017 | American Black Journal

7 Days!

Between 5-7 of my designs will be featured at the 6th Annual Detroit Doll Show on November 10/11, 2017!  Most of the featured models have been chosen and ready for packaging.

The girls are getting dolledup...final fittings, pulling accessories, and even salon up-do's are going down!!!

If you remember, back in July before the 2017 Journey Girl's Aussie Adventure released to world, I spied on the TRU site that Chavonne with Curls was not available.  Before the word spread, I hurried to the net in search of some great deals.

Well, I found two and I regret not buying more.  While washing Chavonne's (#6 & #7) it brought tears to my eyes that these dolls are no longer in stock at TRU.  They need to reconsider this idea. There is nothing wrong with even bringing her out for just holiday's!  Sigh!

Well...we're excited, even for the two stars that may find a new home!  It is bittersweet.

7 Days until showtime!

Christmas Shopping...New Tree Trimmings!

My tiny 2 1/2 foot tree, that I affectionately call 'the mascot' is a small version of my very first Christmas Tree in my first home!  The theme is gold and everything on it is gold.  That tradition is coming to an end, after 18 years!  Wow that is an entire child from birth to voter's registration.  LOL.

I don't mind sharing with you!  Actually I am inviting you to share your holiday trimmings with me.

I purchased the miniature bulbs about two-three years ago after Christmas shopping in hopes that I would find the motivation to do something different. That time is upon us.  The colors are 'silver-green-lilac'.  After the Detroit Doll Show, I will get right on top of crafting my tree topper, because the one I have currently will clash!

Here is what I have so far!

In a short haul yesterday I found tulle on sale and too many purples to choose...so I bought a yard of all of them!  We will sort it out in the end!

Today is the very last day...get your shop and treats today while supplies last!
