Yes, it has been quiet on the list. I would imagine that in addition to the cleaning bug that seems to hit this time of year, most have been preparing for Easter as well. Rather than Spring cleaning for me, though, I'm working on taking pics of new merchandise and getting up pics of actual boxed dolls that I had not had time to get to yet. New pics will be popping up all over the site, LOL!
I just got in some fun accessories and have set up a new miscellaneous page on my site for them. They are the purses from Basic Fun that can be used for the 15.5" to 16" dolls as handbags, or a tote for the 11.5" dolls. These are really great! There are currently 12 styles in stock with 12 more styles due in the near future. I've also put some of the Kingstate short boots for the larger fashion dolls on the page as well. I've still got to get up pics of the tall boots and the pumps and sandals, so feel free to ask about color availability until they are up. I'm selling all of the boots and shoes individually rather than in packs, so it will be easier to get just what colors or styles are wanted. The pumps and sandals are priced at $4 per pair, the short boots are $5 per pair and the tall boots are $6 per pair. The direct link to the page if you want to take a quick look is http://members.aol.com/SuzW397026/misc.htm
There are also a couple of new custom dolls done by our own John Gallagi on the custom page, too. They are numbers 1 and 6, if you would like to see a couple of examples of what John has been up to lately, :-).
For those who celebrate Easter Sunday, may it be a blessed and festive day for you and your families!

Good Evening all...
It sure has been quiet lately...
I don't know about anyone else, but I've been doing my Spring Cleaning...and keeping really busy with repaints and sewing, etc.
Have a great night, all! Elizabeth
Yes, it has been quiet on the list.
I will confess, I have been quiet because I caught the 16" bug. I spend very little time with my little gals lately.
Suzanne, do you have the Seasons Tylers in?

Hi Suzanne
Those little bags are cute. Are they a part of those shoezies things?
Which sized dolls do the Kingstate shoes and boots fit? Our dolls can never have too many shoes. LOL

Hi, Lunar, I really enjoyed your site and looking at your dollies and learning more about you. Your site is very enjoyable and you seem really nice. Thanks for being you and for sharing. I was wondering about the graphics "sexy ladies." I always have wondered why someone doesn't do paperdolls with that kind of idealistic style. Very grown up. Where do you get those, who draws them? Thanks. Kind regards Robin Lunar lunarwolfess@yahoo.com.au wrote: Hi Suzanne

Hi Robin
Thanks for taking the time to check my site. The compliments I've been getting has been encouraging. I'm gonna try and update with some new pics tomorrow if I can.
I have to admit I'm not sure off the top f my head which graphics you're referring to. Do you mean the backgrounds and buttons I've used on the web pages? If so, the bottom of each page has a link direct to where I got the graphics from.
Regards

cleaning bug that seems to hit this time of year,
Yep , persackly what happened to me. I haven't been on line in close to 2 wks. After complaining about my tiny 43 in. closet since we moved here 7 yrs. ago, hubby finally decided to act. and when he decides to do something , the whole world must be placed on hold while his wishes are carried out,... but this time all I thought was 'bout time! In the master bedroom, we had side by side closets which only measured 43 inches. each & the room on the other side had 2 closets the same size, backing ours. We torn up all 4 & made them into one 8 ft. by 4 & 1/2 ft walkin closet. what a difference! I'm so thrilled with it that sometimes I just stand inside it & stare. It took us forever it seems, to complete, especially when we got to the last final trimming parts. We really wanted to finish the insides of the closet because our clothes were downstaires in the basement as that was the only place with a large enough area to place them all temporarily. Now we must carefully place the joint compound around the wallboards that fill the space where the 3 doors used to be on the bedroom side( of course we kept one door in place ) so it looks like one smooth wall instead of being able to see the outline of the old door areas,. Now that is taking forever, you put on the 'mud' , it dries 24 hrs, you sand it off, you do it again & build it up or sand it down till all is even , what a pain! & the unbelievable mess from all the white dust it creates, it's so fine, it gets into everything. But don't try to wipe it off furniture with a wet cloth, like I did...you end up with what looks like 'pickled' furniture. No, you have to vacuum it up & wipe several times with a cloth dampened in vinegar water...al least that's the way we're doing it. But the house seems to get all dusty again really quickly. Now the room on the opposite side happens to be my doll room ( which the previous owner had taken 2 small bedrooms & made them into one large one...so it 's a long narrow room) I thought eventually we could make a 'walk in' closet at the back of it now that the tiny closets are gone. But until then, which I can tell you won't be any time soon, I have no place to store the doll stuff, so we're putting in a large cabinet , which is about the size of one of the small closets...so that'll help some And the biggest help will be that I'm going to actually get rid of some stuff. You don't know how unbelievable this is for me as I keep everything forever, the original packrat! As I go thru this stuff & throw out empty & dried up tubes & bottles of paint left from my crafty days...and bits of material, not large enough for anything...and out of date stuff...and papers & old bits of info & magazines and just in general really crummy looking stuff...I say, where was my mind? You'd think I was born in the Depression era. Waste not, want not ...can be carried to extremes. Well little actually gets thrown away, lots is given away to whoever I can con into taking it or to charity...some of it is still quite good, I just won't be using it any more. And a friend may sell some of it on Ebay for me, for a small percentage of the profits
So what are YOU all doing in your spring cleaning frenzies? Pat H. In Al.
Just reading your email the drywall dust was oozing through the monitor. That stuff gets everywhere! How I envy your enthusiasm and husband's ambition! I am so seriously inert about getting my doll display areas finished that I am disgusted with me.
And now spring has sprung and I am happily resuming my multitude of yard projects. But I'm hoping to finish a bulk of work until June, at which time, when the weather becomes hotter and sun brighter, I must return indoors. I MUST get this downstairs finished. Maybe your emails on your remodelling will inspire me.
I'm going to be doing a community yard sale sponsored by the county in the first weekend of June. So I'm going to be carting all my tables and tons of dolls and household items for the sale. I did one like this community sale last year and found it less painful than having to put one item at a time on ebay to sell. I'm just not patient with ebay if I'm going to have to pay for the privilege of listing something that isn't going to sell. I think I'd rather keep the stuff than give stuff away. I can relate to the pack rat syndrome...Regards, Pat Brown ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Hawkins jhawkins1320@charter.net To: SuzW397026@aol.com Cc: candichat@dolls.de Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 4:54 PM Subject: Re: REALLY OT. !

now spring has sprung and I am happily resuming my multitude of yard projects
We also want to level parts of our hilly yards , front & back. We've been watching HGTV & know we need special equip. for much of this. I laughingly said to my husband that I love waterfalls & why don't we put one in? After watching one large one that a crew of 12 put in with bulldozers ,using huge boulders...he's now decide we can do that on a much smaller scale with some little machine that you hire for a couple of hours. I don't know about this...even with our 2 sons helping it seems too much. He's not satisfied with those little plastic liner things you can buy at Home Depot...thinks they won't hold up to freezing weather & will crack & you've done all that work for nothing. This involves the hauling in of 2-men- carry -rocks . I believe he's thinking it'll be great fun running that little dirt- pushing machine around the yard, maybe pushing some rock around too. He's always wanted a riding lawn mower but our yards are too steep for them. This is man's work, stand aside honey... I'm afraid it will be a 'Tim Allen builds a waterfall' fiasco thing. I will be trying to get my doll room back together, at least get a trail in there so I can get to all my shelves. We finally decided to use our garage as workshops instead of parking the cars. My side is not deep enough for anything longer than a Honda , which is what I had when we 1st moved here. Now I have a longer car which doesn't fit. he's had his car long enough now that it's no longer a love object but something that can actually be moved out of the garage & into the driveway where it'll get wet by rain. He bought 2 used worktables & is adding these to his collection of other work tables & since there's too much on his side & he was edging me out on my side, he's very magnamously allowing me to use some of these precious furnishings. So I may move what craft stuff ( that's still good) is in the doll room down in the basemen garage. There's a great window there too, which I don't have in the doll room ( I covered them up to protect dollies from the sun). We can easily work for a solid month & come no where near to finishing all these projects. Pat H.

Me too Pat. I live on a grain farm, hubby has a job off the farm and is almost never here so I have plenty of outdoor spring projects. It's raiing today so I get to play on my puter between cleaning the mess in the house.
Have a question for everyone. I am doing a swap, my swap partner collects Alysa and I don't. I want to get her an Alysa outfit, any suggestions from Alysa collectors? Randall I love the haircut you gave your Alysa.

I have 2 Alysa fashions and I love them both. The first one is Safari which is a white tiger print dress with black belt and a diamante buckle - the other outfit is called Mon Coeur which is a lovely red strapless dress and a red jacket thing - you know a few years back when those teen cardigans were in that came just up to under your arms? - it has leopard print collar and matching hat.
