Happy Holidays

Hope you all have a great holiday

Commission

My 1st MM Pivotal

YAY! I found the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Barbie clearance at $8.74 at Target. I really like her, I wish the pivotal body was more afordable.
Here she is with the 2007 Holiday doll(one on the left)


I plan to re-root them. I want to give the Holiday doll a red color, not sure about the other one. Maybe a golden blonde or something like the Niki below. What do you think?

MULAN

A Mulan doll Finally!!! The last doll was released in 2004 (Blossom Beauty Mulan) The Disney Store have their own Mulan but I dont like her face. Mattel version is much better, although the current version(Sparkling Princess Mulan) has on too much makeup. Mulan should be released more often, shes way better than a "Princess" She fights her own battles rather than waiting for a prince like most of the other princesses.





The other Mattel Princesses have a much larger head compared to Mu. Here is a pic of the Target exclusive set with exclusive Mu. Can you see the difference?

Busy Bee

I apologize for the lack of updates, busy cleaning getting ready for the holiday. My arm is still sore, we don't have a mop so I scrubbed the floor Cinderella style LOL Now I have to work on my room, the dolls are taking over again.

I found a trick on how to clean a microwave quickly one day while doing dolls hair.
Boiled some water in the microwave and have it sit there a couple minutes, the steam soften the splattered food, so all you have to do is sponge, rinse and repeat. Its fast and not a lot of work

eBay Drama

I bid on some dolly auctions the other week, mainly because they were cheap. One ended a few days before the others, and the seller sent me an invoice right away. I ask if I could pay later after I'm done bidding. She replied back "When I auction an item so cheaply, I cannot combine shipping. The doll is expensive to ship, barbie dolls have weight, especially if I decide to insure her "

What a minute... I thought it was the buyers choice if he/she wants insurance and to pay for it. Also it's not my fault that I won the auction cheap, the seller should have placed a higher starting price if they wanted more money. Anyway, I paid for that one auction right away to get it over with.

Days later, the auctions ended at the same time . I won with no other bids, another cheap win! I ask the seller in a pleasant manner, what method will she ship the dolls. Since I am paying separate shipping cost for each auction, I would like the dolls shipped in their own package. Seems fair right!? Shipping them all in one box is combine shipping to me.

I got back "You got a good deal and you know it, please don't try to nickel and dime me to death. I don't combine shipping, I will send the dolls as I choose. Please don't send me anymore messages annoying me."

After all these years on ebay, I never received such rude, unprofessional response before. I was just asking, I didnt demand anything! And to me, she is the one whose nikel and dime-ing , she saves time and materials by having the dolls shipped in one box and have extra $ leftover.
I believe this is against ebay rules, if I'm paying for separate shipping, I should get the items shipped in their own package if I choose to. Why should I pay extra so you can pocket that. We all could save $, especially for this time of year.

The next day she sent me an apology, her helper, a 17 year old daughter, was the one who sent that message. How mature of a 17 y.o.! That kind of help would do more damage than any good LOL

Sellers nowadays have some kind of combine shipping, they all want our business ;)
