Happy New Year! And Other News.

*Important* New Contest Winner Below

   Hello!  So I may be a tad late on the whole New Years well-wishing but at least it isn't too late to say Merry Christmas, since the Christmas season doesn't end until tomorrow  :)  Anyways, happy 11th day of Christmas! Sorry I didn't get you "Eleven pipers piping".

  So let us see, my phone is throwing a bit of a tantrum at the moment so I won't be able to show you my dolls' Christmas gifts :(  I was able, however, to salvage a few photos taken from one of our local parishes Nativity scene that I found pretty impressive. The photos are courtesy of my brother, who assisted in the construction of the Nativity :).



This is the view from the pews...


Baby Jesus wasn't in the manger yet at the time this photo was taken because it was not Christmas Eve. At that point the priest would place the Infant Jesus in His bed of straw.


My family has helped construct this Creche every year for as long as I can recall and even before that!  It takes a quantity of time and patience to get it just right but it's always worth the effort!


Here is what the Main Altar looks like all bedecked in poinsettia.

  I hope you enjoyed that :). Now on to my next order of business. Do you recall that contest I held? Well, much to my disappointment, I never heard from the winner within the set time and have drawn a new name. Are you ready? The new winner is...

American Doll Clothes Co. Review and Giveaway!

   Here we go!







   The moment you've all been anxiously awaiting!







    My first giveaway!







    Can you feel the excitement building?







    Oh, I can definitely feel it!







     All right enough. Without further ado.....









Isn't this sweet?


This sweet little hand-maid, sailor-style dress is of beautiful quality with wonderful attention to detail! I just love the collar with the little bow!


The shoes are Sophia's brand and slip easily on and off your doll's foot, they're pretty sturdy too. (Really easy for your doll to stand in.)


I love the diagonal stripes in the skirt! It really accents the buttons. Plus, due to the classic styling, this dress is great for Historicals like Kit and Molly, too!


Lily absolutely loves this dress and she knows that your doll will, too!


Overall, this is just a lovely outfit and we're so excited to share it with one of you!!!
