It's (almost) 2020

Happy almost 2020 I did not get much done in the doll room this Christmas, I tried...I played catch up BIG TIME, but it was just not to be for this year. Many a doll is dressed up and ready but the dioramas just never got finished. I guess sometimes life is just like that and family comes first. What I did get done was The Purple Cafe I managed to change out some dolls near the airport Giselle and Harry are getting ready for Christmas, I'm hoping their house might get turned into a home in 2020 Another couple working on the decorations are May and Psyched, who are also awaiting an upgraded home. A few random street scenes  HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAVE A GOOD 2020

Merry Christmas

This is a good time for Christmas booklets and supermarket brochures    Many a front facing card and other goodies can be utilised for our dolls.  I also found a lot of wine bottle labels. When I cut out the labels I included the bottles so I could match them up. These green Sindy's bottles looked a little blank so I added some green to give them a more realistic look. I'm working on making my own bottles and will be posting about that in the New Year. I also found food a lot of gift ideas and food..food..food! For these I cut foam core to size a mix of 3mm, 5mm and 10mm boards. For cutting you will need a craft knife  For the cases of bee r I glued two 10mm boards together I also used a (printer) paper backing on some to give a cleaner looking finish. Rather than just gluing (glue stick) the picture on I left the edges to make things more secure. I did add tape as well  .................
