She's Here!! She's Here!! My 1st 2012 Purchase

Image
Yes, she has arrived earlier than expected. This lady has been on my grail list for a few years. It was only through an awesome sale that I did get her. I spied her for sale on a friends Flickr for a mere $95 (can you say bargain?).  I am so thankful that I was able to put her on hold (thank you Mel aka CarmMelDoll). So without further ado I present to you all...Overachiever Eugenia.  For anyone that's curious here she is in her original outfit .  I wasn't able to buy this lady when she was 1st released as an MFD or My Favourite Doll  exclusive in 2007.  Any time she came up for sale she was snapped up too quick or way too expensive for me ( Did I tell you all that I'm cheap? ). Her price was perfect for me ;O).  She will be redressed several times over. This lady was about #4 on my grail list. I will expound ( real brainy sounding, right ;O) ) on my grail list in later posts.   I'm slower than most everyone else but she is my first purchase for 2012 :O) I bought

Made My 1st Dolly Purchase of the New Year

I'm not going to say who she is but I can take another off my grail list :O). She will be in my hot little hands in the beginning of February. I have to post because my anticipation level is so high.  I've wanted this lady for about a year since I missed getting her when she came out. It always makes you feel bad when dolls pop up for sale and your $$ is not right.  I'm so glad I'm patient enough to wait for my dolls to cross my path at the right time.  Now you all get to suffer with me until she gets here.. In the words of Bugs Bunny "I'm a stinker ain't I?"

I was happy to be invited to join a couple of bloggers that I follow and occasionally post on. I was able to get together with Frannie of Thriftstoredolls and Cecile of Chynadollcreations fame. I had a fabulous time meeting both of these ladies. We met at Cecile's house (I was about 20 mins late..sorry again). The ladies greeted me with smiles and a warm welcome. We talked a bit, enjoyed some pizza, and then we shopped for supplies.  Once we got back to Cecile's we pulled out the stuff to be redone. I didn't take pictures of everything before but there are a couple of pieces everyone should be familiar with. I brought a container of things I always wanted to be repainted but never jumped into. I had a few My Scene pieces from the Party Pad.They are still in the transitional stage but this is what I have so far.
