Found things finally! - CandiChat

      HI All,
   I just wanted to post for those of you with Big Lots in your area that
have NOT had any of the great deals that everyone is talking about.  I
popped by our Big Lots yesterday, and they FINALLY had the James Dean doll
for $12.99, and all six of the Kari Michell dolls for $5.00 each.  I picked
up the green knit outfit, and the black snakeskin pants one.  At those
prices, I am willing to work on the outfits to get them to fit, and the
dolls can go in my Goodwill box, unless someone has a yen for them?  They
also had the cute playsets that represent a hotdog cart, a cyber cafe, and
a sushi bar.  These were $3.00 each, and had some great accessories for
those who like to do dioramas.  I resisted, but it was hard.
    I need to get my hubby to fix the FTP site, as I have several new OOAKs
to share, as well as needing to take a pic of my number 3 in the
houndstooth outfit from Candi.  She looks darling in it.  I added the
houndstooth purse from Tiny Totes ( just finally found some of those at our
Walmart) and she looks fabu.
   On the topic of the Jaks dolls.  I think the vinyls used on them are
just not very stable.  I think there have been alot of reports of them
turning colors.  Many have arms that have turned an odd orangish yellow, so
I don't suppose it is too odd the have the torsos do it too.  I only have
one, and have not undressed her to see what has happened.  Probably afraid
to.  LOL
