I thought I would post the New smorgasbord of Lovely dolls and fashions that are now available online that I have fallen in love with recently. The first is a Doll Ensemble by Andrea available for a very short time on eBay as a One of a kind Project Dollway Fashion.

The second is the new 16" Christina St Claire wigged doll by Fashion Boulevard she is a limited edition of 30 dolls

I have also found the 2008 Vivette Sweet escape collection 12" doll fashions that will fit Silkstone Barbies from D.A.E. Originals, Fashion Snapshot, Pomp n Splendor and Eventail are my Favorites!

I had fun with my daughter last night stamping and making cards! She is really good at shading with the ink and also picking out colors for the stamps. I recently bought the Tryptich Frame stamp by Claudine Hellmuth and love it completely! All of the lovely ladies are from Artchix Studio’s Classic Beauty unmounted rubber stamp sheet!

I am now totally discussed with China and with our own U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for the lack of responsible and safe business ethics regarding the poisoning of young children from toys, clothing, games and household items. Children 2 and under are the most susceptible to lead poisoning as they put everything in their mouths. We have had to get rid of many toys and now I find out that the 3-in-1 Flush and Sounds Training Potty my son has used since he was 1 has lead paint on it! I’m outraged that this is still going on. Where is our Government to save us? Why are we still consuming products that are made in China. We boycotted China made toys for Christmas this year and we are going to continue this boycott throughout 2008. Please check out the latest Recalls and continue to keep a watchful eye on the things that come in contact with the children you love!

Wishing you a very Happy 2008 from Pinkdilla. I never make a New Year’s resolution but I have learned a few great tips recently that we are already putting into practice….

1) Whenever you get your mail immediately put the junk mail in the Recycle bin

2) Get rid of at least 1 cluttered item a week, donate or give away, and after a year you will have cleaned out 50 pieces of unsightly clutter

We got to spent a few days before Christmas in The Woodlands and Spring Texas shopping and eating, 2 of my favorite things! This was the first time we have ever spent up there and also the first time in 3 1/2 years that Husband and I have not had the kids with us, also a big plus! I’m still nursing a big cold and trying to recoup but we managed to have a great time. We also got to see National Treasure Book of Secrets movie while we were there, it was really good but had a sort of Huh? moment for the ending. Hope you like the pics!
