New Collection 50% off! Plus tons of other stuff!

June 30th, 2008 by Michelle

I’ve got a ton of new stuff for sale since my last blog post . .. I never remember to come on here anymore! I need to work on that!!

 Anyway, there’s a new collection up and it’s 50% off until Wednesday. Also a coordinating bracket album (sold separately but still reduced!)

I also put up a Shutterfly-ready album a while back and totally forgot to advertise it here!

It’s not on sale anymore so to make it up to my blog readers (if I still have any left? lol) here’s a special coupon so you can get it 25% off like it was when I released it: bloglove25 . It’s valid for 1 week from today and it’s good for this purchase of the complete album.

I guess that’s it for today . .. I gotta run! I’m off this week but somehow I manage to be even more busy when I’m off then when I’m working! How does that happen? I thought I’d get to relax on my holiday but it’s been nothing but work and errands and such. Oh and playing with my dolls of course too LOL!

 Enjoy your day!

New Product & Tagged!

May 21st, 2008 by Michelle

Wow. Creative title, eh?

Ok let’s start with the product:

preview400.jpg

I’ve recently put my portion of the Garden of Whimsy kit in my Studio now that it has been retired from the Lilypad. And yesterday I put together a bracket album with it! It is made to fit the Basic Grey Chipboard Bracket album so you can make this a hybrid project. Just print out the pages and glue to the book and voilà! All of the Garden of Whimsy stuff will be on sale until Friday. You can grab the album for just $4!

My designing-mojo seems to have gone on a summer holiday without me! lol! So it was nice to find something to do that was scrap-related and creative, but without requiring me to design new stuff lol! I think there will be lots more albums where that one came from!

 Ok now for the tag! My dearest friend Rachel decided to tag me on her blog the other day so here goes:

I have a confession to make!

April 14th, 2008 by Michelle

I have a new hobby. It is so all-consuming that I’ve barely scrapped or designed since discovering it. I can’t hide it anymore because I’ve designed a new kit around it and so it’s public now. LOL!

Ready for it? You have to promise not to laugh! Anybody who laughs is hereby banished from this blog!

Ok . .. here goes . . .

Hi. My name is Michelle and I am addicted to dolls. :(

Yep. I’ve started collecting dolls. Blythe dolls to be exact :) I didn’t even know what a Blythe doll was until the first few weeks of February when somebody posted a thread about them at DST/MSA. I took one look and I was hooked! I have fallen hard and fast folks. HARD and FAST! It hasn’t even been 2 months and I already have 5 dolls sitting on my shelf with 4 more on the way in the mail! And these things are not cheap!!! I’m embarassed to admit how much money I’ve spent on them . . . But I can’t help it! They are so darn FUN!!!

 In case you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about, here’s a quick rundown: Blythe dolls were first introduced in 1972. They were not popular with kids. Apparently the big heads and big eyes were scary :) So production ended that year and that was it! Flash forward to 1997. A photographer by the name of Gina Garan is given an old vintage Blythe doll. She takes pictures of it. Interest is renewed in the doll. A company in Japan starts making the doll again and people (mainly grownups!) go crazy for them. That’s the story of Blythe in a nutshell!

Anyway, the reason I am finally coming clean with this on the blog is because my newest kit I put in the shop last night was inspired by my newest doll! Check it out!

It’ll be on sale for 25% for the first week :)

Isn’t she cute!?!? I haven’t received her yet. She’s on her way in the mail. I can’t wait! If you want to check out the rest of my plastic family, you can visit my Flickr page.

So this is why the blog has been so quiet lately :D I haven’t had much to talk about other than dolls lately LOL!

So tell me . . .anybody reading this happen to collect Blythe’s too? Did you have one when you were little? Do you have an original 1972 Kenner Blythe packed away in your attic you’d like to sell me? (ha ha! i had to at least ask :))

 I’ll leave you with a fun youtube video of the original commercial from 1972:
