summer/fall time off & new items


I am going to be taking some time off this summer 
hang out with my family and recharge!  I will still have
some items in my shop... DIY, In stock & a few others but
I will not be accepting any custom orders. 
 
 I plan on accepting custom orders again in early August.... at which time
I will be accepting orders for September wedding orders... along with
other non-custom orders.  If you have any questions
about placing a custom order in August, please feel
free to send me a convo.
 
And since I am letting you know my summer 'stay-cation' plans...
I wanted to also tell you that I will have my shop closed for the first
half of November (because we are taking the kiddos
to Disney).  So it is never to early to place holiday orders!
I will be listing all my holiday items in the shop starting in
August!
 
Now just a few of my favorite orders from the past few moths.....
 
nesting dolls.... in shop now

Yikes... the "Holidays" are here!

I can't believe it is already time for "the Holidays"!!!!
 
With that being said.... it is the PERFECT time to order all your
gifts for Christmas before it is too late.  Because I am a one
women show (plus two little ones, one hubby and a crazy Boston Terrier)....
I can only squeeze in so many orders, get them all painted, shipped and out to
my wonderful customers before Christmas day! 
 
SO....
 
*HOLIDAY ORDERING DEADLINES*

-International orders must be received by November 20, 2012

-U.S. orders must be received by DECEMBER 1, 2012 (extension from
what is currently stated in my shop)

Superhero Wedding

I did a custom order a LONG time ago
and am just now getting around to posting these
pictures that my wonderful customer sent to me! 


 
The couple used their superhero pegs to make a comic strip and ask the grooms
friends to be a part of their wedding. 


The Cake Toppers: Black Spiderman & Chun Li (from Street Fighter)... I had
no idea how she was either before I made her! :)


I also made 14 small superheros for the bride and groom! 
Each superhero had their own table at the wedding and guest
were assigned a superhero based on where they would be sitting.
 
 

 
Thank you, Shinlay, for sharing your fun wedding pics!!!


Recent custom orders....

It is always fun to get a custom order of something
new and exciting that I have never created before.  Uunfortunately I no longer
have the time to make 100s of different kinds of dolls due to
how many orders I am working currently getting... so you won't
see any listed in my shop, .... but here
are a few recent orders that I thought you might enjoy seeing!
 







 Have a great day!

Closed.... for a wee bit!


I am closing the store down for a few days... and will keep
you updated as to when I will be able to re-open!

 My brave Dad is having brain surgery on Wednesday and I am
going to be spending time with my family & helping with hospital
shifts.... along with a lot of praying!  We are putting our
trust and faith in the Lord that He will wrap himself around
my father and guide him through the next coming weeks.

I will continue to work on current orders that have been placed
and promise they will all be shipped on time!

I am currently booked through September... when I re-open the
shop, I will be accepting a few more October orders.

Please contact me if you have any questions!
