Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!
So, for Christmas this year I had a 'themed' gift in mind for my dear sister friend Frann. She has gifted me six beautiful Paola Reina Dolls and she has a collection of them herself. So I decided a good gift would be to send her a couple of outfits for her Paola Reina's and have 'Santa' bring me the same outfits... You know, then our Twinsy Dolls can have Twinsy Outfits! Kind of like playing dolls from across the world cos she has the same dolls and outfits that I have...
So when I sent her the outfits, I waited to see which of her Paola Reina's she'd dress in them first and.... Then I dressed my exact twins of them in same outfits to take photos for her to see! Fun fun!
During this week it was my sweet daughters birthday... For her party we got a couple of rooms at a hotel so she and her three friends could swim and watch movies and play truth or dare or whatever else teen girls do during a slumber party. I, of course, stayed with them but wanting to keep my sanity and for my daughter to have fun without me crimping her style too much, I got a room right next door. Which, I won't lie, once I got them settled in, was rather nice. I'd go check on them periodically and help them with anything they needed but mostly they kept to themselves after they were done swimming and I had a nice pretty quiet hotel room to myself. I had planned to bring along my laptop and write write write... But... I put my laptop bag beside my door to 'not forget it' and...
Of course... I forgot it. Oh well, I made the best of it and just took as many doll photos and did as much editing of them as I could with my phone.
Of course I took along dollies with me to take photos of!! Here is our stunning view of Sam's Club! Heeheehee... I'm kidding. I love where I live and wouldn't change the view from my local hotels for anything.
Later I took the dolls into the bathroom and tried to get some cute shots with the ginormous mirror in there. I think I got some cute ones.
Paola Reina Dolls are so totally adorable, right?
As you saw in photo... There was a Sam's Club across the way. Which was perfect because their cakes and pizza's are fantastic and good priced so they were on the menu for my daughters party. However, while I was over there to pick up the pizza's, cake and chips (etc) I happened by the toy section and since it was after Christmas, they'd marked the City Pal's Dolls down again... I'd already brought along the one I got the other day for $15ish but now that they were down to $9ish, well...
I only have so much will power people. Outfits for 14 inch dolls are usually $9 so it's like getting a doll for free. Free is my favorite price and so...
Two of them jumped right into my cart!
I'd brought along the girl (on left) that I got the other day for $14ish to take photos of and so... I took a photo of the three of them together!
As you can see, the girl on the right (with dark hair and blue eyes), has no shoes... I could not get her to stand up in the shoes she came with! So I gave up and let her be barefoot.
Out take photo!
I better run! I've been having technical issues again with this dinosaur of a laptop and actually posted this half done for a few hours because I couldn't get internet to launch again. Oy! Hoping to get back here with a post or two more today but just in case I don't make it back:
Happy New Year!
