Huge trade entry coming soon and other announcements!....

I hope this finds everyone well. I just had a couple of things I wanted to announce. There are several exciting blog entries I will be posting in the next couple of weeks! I went and had a doll day with Julie. Everyone remember "The Dream Doll Room" posts? Well a couple characters from Doll Drama went shopping in Julie's spectacular stores and made a few mini stops in other areas of her dolly verse. It was a blast and I can't wait to share it with all of you. (^_^) Next on my announcements is the HUGE TRADE entry I will be posting. I know we all seek to save money and I have gathered stuff I don't need and will post it for trade/sale here.

There will also be a contest coming (not a giveaway).  I thought it would be fun to get everyone's creative doll juices flowing and have a prize at the end. I'm still working out the contest details, but it should be fun for all. (^_^) I hope to see many of you participating!

And the last announcement I have to make is as follows...

I will no longer be taking commissions.

If we have already discussed, or I already have your commission in hand those will still be honored/completed. However, I am too stressed and overwhelmed to continue with commissions at this time. One day I may open a slot for a commission here and there. But I would much prefer focusing on my own creative projects and sketches I have piling up. I thank each of you for the kindness and faith you have placed in my abilities. Without all of you none of these blessings would have been possible. There will be a lot of creative doll projects posted here, but they will be of my own design after the last commissions have left my hands.  I hope that everyone understands my decision.

In other news, I completed a re-root for my own collection. She has been in the works for awhile now. I worked on her here and there as she had a lot of plugs! She was originally a Fashion Fever Holiday Kayla Barbie. I re-rooted her in platinum blonde which I found kind of scary to think about, but she is now one of my very favorite Kayla dolls.

 

 The flash makes her look lighter. (The first picture is more accurate to her skin tone.)

 Introducing Carmen! (^_^) 

She has a little dog, but the pictures that showcased that didn't turn out too well. 

Plus, she is wearing a shirt I was FINALLY able to replace!

Oh and a new Fashion Royalty fella has found his way into my doll family. 

This is Damien....my only male fashion doll with "natural" red hair. 

You can't see it but he is wearing jeans I made especially for FR males dolls.

It was my first try, and I made the pattern myself. 

Here is a better picture of them..

I have since added a faux button.

I hope to sew more in the future with the tweaks I made. 

(^_^) 

Well, that is all for now. Just wanted to let everyone know I am still around and doing what I do. lol

*hugs to all*
