Ginny Dresses, A prayerful Barbie, Girl Scouts-100 yrs old

I know people will be so happy that I have moved away from my Merry Christmas blog.  I was a little busy sewing for a dear customer who bought 17 dresses for Ginny dolls.  Her granddaughters are so fortunate to have such a loving and generous granny! I really appreciate such a big order and for after Christmas!

The above are the seventeen dresses. 4 in the top picture and 13 in the bottom. Sorry, some of my Ginnies don't have their little shoes on.

A lot of good things happened to me recently, but one of the best was that my DH put up some pretty shelves in my "studio" for my dolls and hooks to hang their clothes on.  This is helping me get stuff up off the floor. I am a real doll stuff pack rat. One of my New Years resolutions--- as usual, I might ad---was to get organized. So I'm working on it slowly. Prayer helps which leads me to my next topic:

I found out that another friend of mine in my Bible Study loves dolls too. It's so fun to talk with "mature girls" like my self and find we have this common interest.  She shared a great picture with me of her Barbie praying. She emphasized that all her Barbies are good girls. Above is her sweet picture. I love the teensy Bible.  Her Barbie is on the right tract!

I'm late on wishing all the Girl Scouts, a very happy 100 years! 12 of those years I was blessed to be a part of  a wonderful group of girl scouts who, for many of us, continue to be in touch after a very long time since we ever wore our uniforms.  So go out and BUY THOSE COOKIES! Dolls can celebrate too.  My friend Kathy made a wonderful Girl Scout Uniform for an American Girl Doll for her granddaughter's birthday. I helped a little making the polo shirt (with the LibertyJane pattern) and helping with some embroidery on the sash. Kathy designed the skirt, sash and also hat and a little purse for those "dues". She had a great idea of making the little badges out of tiny badge pictures covered with something like clear contact paper. 

Kathy's granddaughter had a lovely American Girl Doll Birthday party which I have been meaning to blog about for months now but it will have to wait a little longer!  Got to get back to organizing.

Merry Christmas to all!

My doll Nicole visits the Holy Land

Going to the Holy Land at Christmas time was such a good idea that my doll Nicole, me and my hub decided to do just that. Since we couldn't quite afford the fare to Jerusalem, we decided to visit the Holy Land Experience theme park in Orlando.  What a marvelous Christmas celebration it was! I hope you will enjoy Nicole's trip in her story. Just click: Nicole goes to the Holy Land  I couldn't begin to get pictures of all the wonderful things we saw so I just hope you can visit someday. The gospel message is the main theme of this theme park!

Merry Christmas!

I apologize for not blogging more.  BeachBabyDoll.com so appreciates all her customers and their help in sending children to Christian camp. I've been hard at work getting your doll fashions to you and celebrating with family this great time of year.

Recently, I received a great newsletter from Project Child and wanted to share it with my readers.  You will all be interested in the dolls heading to Haiti for Christmas! Sadly, I did not have anything to do with preparing these lovelies for their trip though I have sewn for Project Child in the past. Don't they look beautiful and excited for their journey!  What a great gift for the girls. (The boys are getting soccer balls.)  These dolls are dressed in their school uniforms. You will enjoy reading their newsletter.  Just click here

I hope through this season we all  (especially me!) don't get  too busy and can focus on Christ and what great gifts He has given the world!!!!! As we remember  from the Bible in John 3: 16 and 17

 ¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach!

Just Cruisin"

"Hope everyone has a safe and good time in our wonderful community!"

Biketoberfest is in full swing in Daytona Beach, FL.  We love to have the Bikers visit. My Yuko doll whom I named Diette loves to ride her "bike". Okay, I know she doesn't have a helmet. But she's not real so anybody reading this who is real definitely should remember their helmet. The good Lord, our Great Creator, gave us such a fine day today. She just had to get out and celebrate the weather! We pray for fun and safety for all the Biketoberfest participants. Come back for Bike Week in the Spring!
