Creatable World Takeover

Image
Has anyone noticed that Mattel's Creatable World has taken over? Well, I certainly have. So much so that I now own five of their deluxe packages that includes a doll.  They now have single doll packs, deluxe clothing packs, single clothing packs, and wigs too. The deluxe clothing packs have variations from the deluxe packages that includes a doll.  The eight deluxe doll sets Single clothing packs  Deluxe clothes pack  Deluxe clothing pack  Deluxe clothing pack  They have been spotted at Target so far. They may be at Wal-Mart too. I'm not sure.  Have you been seduced by Creatable World?

Best Laid Plans...Or Something Like That

Image
Wow, has it really been over a year since I posted here. I'm sorry it's been so long. Thank you for hanging in there those of you who are still with me. I've been doing a lot. I have been selling at a doll show and also on eBay of course. I've added to my collection (of course, lol). I made myself keep up with the selling. I still have a lot more to go through but it's been over 20 years of buying. Enough with the boring stuff let me tempt you with a sampling of the goodies I've acquired in the past 14 months. If you need more proof of all I've been up to the past 14 months check out my Flickr: New Goodies Part 2

New Year New Rules...same rules really, lol

Image
Happy New Year!! I'm still working on clearing out. I don't know about anyone else but I find myself less motivated on the grey winter days. I start out gung ho but then laziness hits, lol. I am making myself list on eBay. This year I'm holding myself to some of the same rules as last year. I want to keep my incoming dolls to 25. I decided that 40 was too much even though I did keep to that. I'm starting this year on the right foot. I've sold some dolls already.  These are the first dolls that came in this year. I have already changed Zig Zag. I'm working on a new body for Hip Hoodie.  These ladies were gifted by my sister-in-law. So even though I didn't "buy" them I'm counting them, lol. I now own my first Prettie Girls. These are my first Integrity dolls of this year. Technically they are 2016 Integrity dolls. The Sister Moguls Giselle and Agnes are 2016 W Club exclusives. Love Life and Lace Agnes is a 2016 online event doll. F...

We Interrupt This Day With A New Post

Image
Hello everyone. The clearing out is still ongoing. I've been listing items on ebay since I have time. I'm out on strike so on my down days I sell. I'd rather be working but hey... Not new news to some but there are new Barbie's out there. The Fashionistas now come with Petite, Curvy, & Tall bodies. My wishlist included a couple. I looked over the ladies long and hard but decided on four. My wonderful man bought me the ladies on my list to lift my spirits. This had the desired effect he was going for. These are the 4 ladies I decided I wanted with the new bodies.  They are from left to right: Spring Into Style, Dolled Up Denim, Fab Fringe, & Terrific Teal.   My favorite is the curly redheaded beauty. Imagine my surprise when I realized she really doesn't match her body.  The hunt is on for a new body. I know the MTM (made to move) seems to work but I'm not sure if that's the body I want for her. I chose two for their uniqueness. ...

World Doll Day..Late As Usual

Image
I know this was back in June and I'm slow as molasses but I'm catching up. I was tagged by my friend Georgia Girl over at Pink Obsession a while back. I was also nominated by my friend Dana over at A Philly Collector of Playscale Dolls And Action Figures . I finally looked at what I was supposed to do so here it goes.  The rules are as follows: 1. List 3 favorite dolls from the ones you got last year. 2. List 3 dolls currently on your wish list. 3. Tag 5 people to do the same. My 3 favorite ladies I got from last year in no particular order are : 1.  Le Smoking Adele 2. Barbie Look City Shine  3. Is a tie. I chose Darla Daley Colour My World & Diana aka Joyous celebration Poppy Parker  Darla is from 2012 release but I just got her in 2014. I don't know what I was thinking. Diana is named after Wonder Woman aka Lynda Carter's character Diana Prince. The 3 dolls on my current wishlist are in no particular order: Momoko and Am...

Getting Sidetracked

Image
Getting sidetracked is not the end of the world..thank goodness :O)  I've been behaving myself and working hard on sticking to my goal of only adding 40 dolls this year. I should mention my very own loophole ( insert evil laugh ). I will buy something if it's on sale and has something I really want. Case in point I found this set a couple of weeks ago.  Sisters' Fun Day set I really love Skipper in this set. Everything from her hair to her boots scream YES to me. I bought this set but Barbie is leaving the island (naked of course). I also will be swapping Skipper's body.  I found these dolls in one of my shopping looks. They are a group called 5th Harmony. I just looked but only one came home with me. This doll has the cutest complete design outfits. The doll is in the go pile. I see lots of things while I'm out shopping but these days I'm a lot more picky in what I will buy. I'm not a fan of what I call cheap fabrics and one sided designs...

It's Been A While...

Image
Yes, it has been a while since I posted. I allowed myself to get sidetracked by all sorts of things. I was ill for a moment but I have been adding to my collection. I think I added quite a few dolls to the mix as I recovered. I will say that 2014 was a very good year for me. I know I said I was ill but it was still very good. I made no resolutions for this year. I have promises I made to myself from last year to finish. Here is a not so great picture of some of the additions I got the idea from one of my Flickr friends who posted a pic of his 2014 dolls. I joked that it will take more than one picture for all that I added. This is not everything either. Believe me I have a lot more stuff slated for the GO PILE. Here are a couple of close-up's since you asked :O) I know you did...         I traded for quite a few of these beauties. I also did a lot of bargain shopping. I will be showcasing some of these in posts to come in the...

Goody Overload

Image
  As  promised (even though I'm late) here are some of the goodies I've gotten in the last few months.   I found these dolls for $8, yes $8, at the flea market. The Dennis Miller doll was $2 o_O .  Is it just me or does this guy remind you of Tom Selleck. The man says no but I see him :O). I tackled the mermaids hair and gave her a new body. I really love her even more.  Flea Market finds Mermaid after full shot  I am having a new burst of Bratz love. I adore Sasha the most and I've picked up two that are the most beautiful to me. Crystalicious & Strut It Sasha. I also bought Strut It Fianna her eyes are beautiful.  Strut It Fianna, Crystalicious Sasha, Strut It Sasha I have to give MGA a big round of applause on the newest clothing they've put out. I would love to see at least the Boho Chic dress in the middle in Barbie or Fashion Royalty size. I found all the Bratz dolls & fashions at TRU.  Ladies model...
