Quick Craft

I wanted to post this before part 2 of Christmas decorating which should be up Thursday or Friday.  

Christmas Wreath  

I love wreaths from past photo-stories you may know that we have two "fall" wreaths but we did not have a Christmas wreath! This craft only took about 15 minutes. 

 Materials Needed

1.  Ribbon 
2. Scissors
3.  Wreath base(I used an empty tape spool) 
4. Burlap 
5. Hot glue gun and glue 

 I really like the burlap wreaths that I have found on pinterest, the doll sized Christmas tree I bought from Michael's had a burlap covering on the bottom but since I was using fabric for a tree skirt I instead used it to make this wreath!

 Cut burlap into about 1-2 in strips

 Wrap burlap around wreath base, hot gluing ends down.

 Wrap ribbon around wreath, gluing ends down.

 I hot glued a bow (optional)

 You can customize it however you want, I added Styrofoam berries and sprigs from dollar store floral.

 

Thanks for looking, Merry Christmas!

Christmas Card Swap

Hi! While taking holiday pictures of the dolls Vinyl Girls posted about a virtual Christmas card swap-doll sized. What a great idea! She suggested Pic-monkey and I have never used it before so it was fun to learn, here is my card~ 

Thanks!

Decorating for Christmas Part 1

Note: I decided to split this up into parts as their were too many pictures, I will hopefully post part 2 next week

 All the dolls were in a festive mood as they prepared for the holiday photo-shoot...

" Felicity, the fairy godmother appears in the garden!" Kirsten exclaimed

 Kirsten and Felicity loved to play with a new Disney princess set together although sometimes they couldn't remember what happened next. 

 "Mia have you seen my curling iron?"...

 "What are you doing?!"

"Decorating for Christmas of course, you're curling iron is on the fireplace" Said Mia, slightly envious of Rebecca's natural curls. "We can't have Christmas without decorating for it!" 

"It look's like one of them dropped, do you want me to get it for you?" Rebecca asked "Could I help you?, I don't have anything to do and Felicity and Kirsten are playing."  Mia was excited to have a helper to order around as she was usually the only one to decorate, "Definitely, I actually have a job for you to do, while I hang up the rest of the ornaments why don't you put the angel on top?"

 And so Rebecca, with the help of Mia precariously balanced on a box of ornaments to hang the angel. 

 "Do you think this is good?"

 "No, A little higher and to the left more." Mia responded, hoping Rebecca wouldn't fall, bringing down the tree with her. 

"Okay" She said as she moved it "How about now?" 

 "Great!" 

 "Now you can help me with the garland" Mia said, handing Rebecca the ribbon, "Just wrap it around the tree"

" Oooohhh!, you have the Christmas tree up?!, can I help?"

 "Yes, Rebecca has wrapped the top so now we don't need the box. "Here, you can do the rest."

 "It look's great." Rebecca said, "Isn't their something missing?" 
"Oh,I almost forgot.." Mia said, bending down for something, "1..2..3.."

 "Ta-Da!" Mia exclaimed as Rebecca and Marie-Grace oohed and ahhed. 

They added some final touches including poinsettias on the mantel and a nativity scene below....

Cyber Monday Haul

Hi! So Cyber Monday was a week ago, followed by crazy sale's including beds! (I really wish I could have gotten Rebecca's bed..) and I wanted to show you what I got!  My package arrived on Saturday and following that I tried on most of what I got, I love buying things on sale especially when it comes to AG.  

Addy's Blue Dress  

Rebecca's Hanukkah Dress 

My AG Peacock Pj's 

Rebecca's Classic Accessories   

Yes, I did get up at midnight (central time) to order although it took me an hour to even checkout and then the next day 3 out of 4 of my outfits were discounted even more!(Bad move AG) I did stick to my list of things I want and did not overspend. If you would like any reviews on these just leave a comment! Most of these will be "gifts" for the dolls including some other purchases so you won't see these until Christmas. P.S. Kirsten is getting the blue dress, Rebecca is getting her dress and accessories and I think wither Mia or Saige is getting the pj's.
