Huggy Bears are painted!

But are there any photos? No.

I did take some photos of Dianna's doll shop, parts of the studio and of the doll mold warehouse. They just are not downloaded yet.

We had a good time painting our baby kits and I learned some wonderful tricks from Dianna. I love how Dianna painted her kit! She painted some hair on hers too. I will have to take a picture of that!

Today begins the weighting process (limbs) and rooting. Dianna is hoping that we won't have to work such long days.......

End of day 2/Dianna Effner

Still NO photo's yet but we did get finished in time to have some "down/leisure" time tonight. We both had to check our emails and websites so I thought I would pop in here.

We are at the exciting stage and it is so fun to watch Dianna get so excited as her life-like baby is born before her eyes! We almost didn't want to stop painting tonight!

We SHOULD be able to finish painting after a long day tomorrow...we sure hope to so that we can have three full days to root and assemble. Eeek...that will really be pushing it, but we are determined!

I hope to get a photo or two tomorrow.

Having a great time at Dianna Effner's Studio!

Hello from Missouri!

I am sorry, but I don't have any photo's to share as of yet. I should have taken a picture of Dianna's and my bedtime snack last night though...

We worked until nearly 11 pm and felt justified to bring out FOUR containers of coconut ice cream and sample flavors from each container.

My it was an exhausting day.

I was still recovering from a full day of traveling (and shopping after Dianna picked me up) so we started filming around 11 am (after unpacking my supplies, setting up the filming area and rehearsing many times.

LOL...our filming editor tells us that he will be saving some of the bloopers of the day! THAT should be fun! Hahahahahha

Dianna's studio is wonderful and I has a little peek of the porcelain warehouse/production area too. I do hope to get a full tour of that building and take pictures of the entire site including the doll room.....oh.....sweet Dianna Effner faces abound there! I could spend all day in that room!

Time is super limited, so is internet service (due to rain and wind) and I have NO cell phone service. It takes me back into time when life was just...simpler.

I'll check in again when I can.

I'm leaving on a jet plane....

But I DO know when I'll be back again!

You all have a great week while I am gone. Depending on internet connection and time, I'll try to pop in here to tell you how things are coming along with my and Dianna's Huggy Bear kits and the filming of it all.

Photo collage from the Doll Museum field trip

Hmmm...that is a bit small. I hope that clicking on it will make it bigger!

Anyway, as you can see, the group had a really great time during the whole field trip day!


~IN THE NURSERY~

All reborning here at the nursery is put on hold as I pack up the supplies and head to the airport tomorrow to fly out to Dianna Effner's on Tuesday! I really can't believe that the time has come as we have both waited so long for this to happen.

I am not sure how much internet service I will have or how much time. Don't loose faith that I am giving up on the blog~I am not. I just may not be able to get to it until I return on November 9th.

Melody found a mommy in Australia last night. I know she is going to love her to bits!

Debra has been adopted as well. There are still 4 beautiful babies left.

Take care!

Huge "To Do" marked off the list!

As we enter the holiday season (yes really...already!) it is important that if an artist has dolls ready for adoption/sale that she get them posted and available to the collectors.

Most years, I have not had any dolls available during the holidays, but with the slowing economy, this year, I have six babies available so I felt it very important to get them listed on my website.

I've been working on pictures for the last week or so and finally, after working on my website for most of the day yesterday, I have them all placed!

~HERE THEY ARE~

I think the page looks pretty good for an amateur website master :)

I really am relieved...so much so that I want to dance and skip!

Today will find me doing some odd jobs as I prepare for my upcoming trip to Dianna Effners studio on Tuesday. I will have to leave on Monday for the city close to the airport since my flight is very early on Tuesday.

Wow, these are gorgeous, realistic dolls!

I love finding beautiful babies on eBay.

There are two up right now that are so real looking!

The first is this Elisa Marx "Yelina" reborned by Linda Moore of Dolls2Babies:

YELINA

And the second is a new kit sculpted by Donna Rupert and produced by Bountiful Babies.
This one was reborn by Melissa George of Bundles of Loveliness.

HEATHER


And then this gorgeous ethnic baby sold right away on a Buy It Now sale. He was reborned by the very talented Brooke Nicole's sister, Lexus Ivy~wow...gorgeous!

BRYCEN CHASE

That was a fabulous price for that baby! Where IS that money tree when I need it?

Just wanted to share some babies that caught my eye this week :)

Have a great Wednesday!!
