Hi everyone,
(I was going to show a few ladies doll outfits for Christmas today, but decided to flip flop my days and do this post today…)
I had a very busy weekend and will be even busier the next few days. But I’ve enjoyed (most) of it! I DO have lots more on my list than I know I will get finished, but I’m going to push to do as much as I can. Tonight I was making Chocolate Mint Cookie Bark…You can find the recipe HERE…
Here are a few pictures of what it looks like as you make it…
I made 3 batches and broke it up in little squares to put in pretzel bags along with my Candied Pecans and some mini Chocolate Chip Cookies. I’ll be passing them out at our Christmas Eve service Tuesday evening. Plus, I always give a bag to our trash guy and the girls at the Post Office who are so helpful when I’m shipping out my doll outfits!
Okay…a GIVEAWAY! This is my way of thanking you ALL for a very good year! I appreciate all my readers and hope you’ve enjoyed the year with me as I’ve tried to make you smile! I wanted to do something special and I hope you think this is. This is particularly for the Ruby Red Fashion Friends, but don’t let that stop you if you don’t have a RRFF doll. Go ahead and enter, and if you don’t have a RRFF doll, I’ll find something else to send you.
I’ve been trying to perfect my leather slip on shoes and think this is the pattern I will use from now on. Here was my first try using a piece of printed leather for my prototype, and getting the heel higher in the back and the shoe to fit closer to the RRFF doll’s feet. I didn’t make it a wrap around shoe, but I may try that again in the future.
The GIVEAWAY is for a sweet little pair of SILVER (real leather) shoes with a bow and a sparkly bead added to the top. They are adorable on the dolls feet and hope the winner will like them.
Yes, and I made a pair of sparkly thigh highs to go with them.
Lavender didn’t have anything to wear so I just put a top on her as she shows you the silver shoes and thigh highs. (She’s not included!)
To enter the drawing for the shoes, I’d like you to think back and try to remember YOUR “favorite shoes” when you were a young child or maybe your first pair of heels and try to describe them in your comment. When you do that, it will ensure you are entered for the drawing.
You may enter up until midnight (Central Time Zone) Illinois, Monday evening. I will post the winner Tuesday morning.
Then tomorrow we will have several pictures from my readers who have dressed their dolls for Christmas.
Have a wonderful day and don’t stress over the little stuff… just eat more cookies. (Just kidding!) :o)
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
