HI All, For the hunting guys, check out cabelas.com They are usually in their catolog, esp this time of year, so should be on the web site. I liked the accessories too, but they were a little scary, but then so is my hubby when he gets back from hunting. LOL

I have seen some of the guys from Big Lots. Some of them are pretty nice, but those hands are terrible. I did pick up some cool clothes a few years ago from the soldiers of the world sets, when they did George Washington, and a couple of others. Those outfits fit some of the cool action figures. I have the ruffled shirt, and black pants on my Ares from a couple of years ago, and he looks very romantic in them. I don't think they are doing any of the historic ones right now, but they are worth keeping an eye on.

I am just getting ready to get the girls out for Christmas. I always do a decorating the tree one, and I put some of the small kids there with some of the cute miniature toys out right now. I also get out the set from a couple of years ago with all the cute toys, the gingerbread house etc. I was thinking about picking up some of the tiny lights that actually work that are out now at the craft stores in the villiage stuff. We shall see. I got the pink Barbie tree last year, and can't wait to set that up. I had been putting my ornaments on a vintage mini aluminum tree, which was cute too. I also get out a couple of my candis and dress them in the drop dead Christmas gowns for on top of the TV. Hubby appreciates the cleavage. LOL I just got my beloved number 3 changed for Christmas, and will post her pics soon. (Can you tell how much I love this doll?) I will post pics of the other things as well, as I get them set up. I practice "creeping Christmas" around here for a couple of weeks, as small things get snuck into the decorating until I go copletely nuts two weeks before Christmas. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
