Or to reach back into old commercial <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjVKUap1HgU" rel="nofollow">jingles</a>, "sometime you feel like a blonde; sometimes, you don't." <br /><br />Maybe replace "feel like" with "want a" ... only it doesn't sound so catchy ... ;-D<br /><br />Tackling the project piece by piece - section by section - is a good plan to reduce feeling overwhelmed.

I meant to, but once I started packing up boxes and loading the car, my mind was just on getting it out of here. So far I've only given away about 20 blonde dolls I didn't want, which felt kinda racist of me, lol, but hey, I like what I like.<br /><br />It was just my first wave of cleaning though. Second wave starts this Friday and then I really get brutal and down to business. No mercy! If any more doll stuff doesn't make the cut, I'll be sure to take photos for a post.Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-72392263718381953292014-04-16T18:08:23.630-04:002014-04-16T18:08:23.630-04:00Hi Muff!

I don't really love her, but maybe I won't be able to get her in the future .... Or I like the fashion or an accessory, but can I sell the doll without them? For me, it's partly to make room for new dolls AND to allow myself to get new dolls. So my collection supports new collecting, lol.<br /><br />I'd love to see what you choose to keep and what you donate/sell - I'm thinking one or more posts on that topic would be fun ....D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-61018166971206891292014-04-16T00:10:23.313-04:002014-04-16T00:10:23.313-04:00I'm in spring cleaning mode myself.

If I haven't touched it in the last 2 years it's outta here! All to make more room for my dolls, of course. ^__^Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-2570681562902025922014-04-12T22:01:08.256-04:002014-04-12T22:01:08.256-04:00Okay, I am submitting this comment unattached to a...Okay, I am submitting this comment unattached to any particular comment in response to this post.

I think what happens is when I respond to a comment directly - as I am doing in this response - you see my response AND your original comment. So my response brings up and draws out again, the comment I am replying to. At least, I think that that is what is happening. Let me try with a separate response not attached to this one.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-75721797063263389802014-04-12T21:42:18.923-04:002014-04-12T21:42:18.923-04:00Hi Carrickters and thanks for that link.

A friend sent me a Pinterest pin that showed mannequin hands in a jar. I suppose she may have seen some of my loose doll heads or doll bodies laying about? I thanked her, but I said I did not understand making jewelry with Barbie body parts. Shrug. It is like the jewelry-maker broke down dolls for their "works." My parts hanging around are pending connection to either a new body or a new head or they're extra hands/feet/etc. So I think <a href="http://thevinylidol.com/2012/07/07/people-barbie-recycling/" rel="nofollow">this</a> when I think of recycling Barbies. <br /><br />Still, better to use them in some way than to waste them ;-}D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-84812688094238743302014-04-12T21:27:32.202-04:002014-04-12T21:27:32.202-04:00Thanks for visiting, Shasha!

Sometimes one doll will suffice for a mold if you really, really like that particular doll ;-)<br /><br />I love seeing people tailor their fashion dolls - Barbie and others - to suit their needs. <br /><br />I agree with you about the retailers seeing green at Easter. It's like, what can we sell for this occasion.

Plus you'd need yarmulkes for Ken and Todd, and whatever your female dolls would wear.<br /><br />I think Easter has developed secular sidelines, because it's another chance for stores to sell things. But for the religious Christian, Easter is still the most important holiday in the year.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-33408426186907927502014-04-11T08:40:10.361-04:002014-04-11T08:40:10.361-04:00Hi Skippercollector!

It clears spaces and finds new uses for old items.<br /><br />"Administrative Professional Day" used to be called "Secretaries Day" here, too. Then they "upgraded" it or expanded it to cover other administrative support positions. Shrug. Bosses in the U.S.A. can pretend to not know about it, but the card/flower/candy companies advertise the holiday so it's a little harder to ignore, lol. However, that does not stop some bosses from saying that our <i>pay</i> days are <i>our</i> days, ;-PD7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-64844726052489318682014-04-10T23:11:19.169-04:002014-04-10T23:11:19.169-04:00April 15 is tax day.April 15 is tax day.skippercollectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00879839553080884379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-45181154168058831492014-04-10T22:20:01.198-04:002014-04-10T22:20:01.198-04:00Hi D7ana, my comment appeared twice, so I deleted ...Hi D7ana, my comment appeared twice, so I deleted one, and now everything is gone :-)!
