My Our Generation Battat Custom Dolls Collection... So Far...


Hi Doll Friends!

This post has been sitting in my To-Do folder forever... Mostly because I wanted to do one really long post about all my Our Generation Dolls to update this post. However, even though these photos were taken back in February I 'paused' and never got back to the project again yet. So... I'm going to post the collection in stages rather than never getting it posted at all. 

I've done many many custom dolls since I started collecting 18 inch dolls but my Our Generation Doll customs are some of my favorites. So without further ado (adieu?), here they are: 


Aubrianna is likely the custom I've gotten the most compliments of all my customs ever made. I just love her to bits, she is so pretty and photogenic


Here we have a custom I've made from one of the rarest of the Our Generation face sculpts. I've only ever found two of them and I love them both. This is the second wig she's had, the first one was pretty but I love this one so much more. 


Here we have Hector... I can't seem to find a write up about him. 


This is my Vito Doll... He's one of my most treasured dolls because he is my son's doppelganger doll. He no longer has blonde curls like this but he did when he was little bitty and that's why his doll has them. Here is a post of him with horses that is has some of my favorite photos of him


Here we have Bernie... Couldn't find a write up about her customization either but she's my Grandma C's doppelganger doll... She's got cute photos in this post of her tidying up the Doll House


Here is Annie


Sad to say I can't recall when I customized this one and couldn't find a post about her but she's adorable. 




Here is Hematite


Finally we have Samorn. I love how she looks with her blonde wig. 

So that's all of them... So far. 
Wish I had more time! Sadly I gotta go!

Distracted By My Other Hobby... Busy Making Greeting Cards!

 


Hi Doll Friends!

I've been a bit MIA for a while here on the blog. Sorry about that. Long before I was into my doll hobby so much, I loved paper crafts. Rubber stamping and scrapbooking being my main focus. Well recently God has put on my heart to get back into card making in order to send them out and, hopefully, put a bright spot in someone's day when they open their mail box. There are so many pretty stickers and papers and such out nowadays that I've fallen into a bit of a rabbit hole with them. Haha. Can't ever do anything by half measures can I? So I figured I'd come and tell you where I've been and what I've been up to and show you a few of the cards I've made. Totally unrelated to dolls I realize so I won't make another post like this (unless you want me to every once in a while and I'd be happy to, just let me know in the comments). I hope this finds you having a wonderful early June! How is it Summer already? Time flies! 

If you like getting snail mail and or know someone you think might be happy to get a word of encouragement in the mail, make a comment below (to let me know cos I am bad about looking at my personal email anymore!) and then send me an email (via the 'contact form' on the side bar here >>) with "Card Please" and your address or the address of who you'd like me to send one to and I'll send one to you! (Only in the United States please because I don't know about how much postage costs to other country). I'll send a card to the first ten or so requests I get because I don't want to over promise myself and not be able to keep my word!  

Thanks for your readership!!

PS Here is my Pinterest Board for cards I make (I started the board to keep track of my own creations and ideas) and I try to keep it updated so saying this is the last post about cards I ever make on this blog, you can find them going foward there.
