Hi everyone, I’m so sorry my post wasn’t able to open for you Wednesday. It wouldn’t open for me either, so there was nothing I could do. Karn looked at it and decided it was server issues, so I just decided to wait it out, and when I checked again later in the afternoon, it was working again. I am going to call and see what the problem was. It was a little alarming to me, and I’m sure it was to you too. There wasn’t any way for me to let you know things were a bit wonky. I’m not sure why, but the ladies who read my blog from their email, and not off my regular website, seemed to be fine… They ..read more

Hi everyone, Things are going well here… lots and lots of visiting which is SO nice and “some” shopping, but not as much as before. We did notice a sale happening in town that we are planning to go to. It might “take the cake” as far as thrift shopping goes! It’s a World Hunger Sale and we saw a video of them setting things up and it looks VERY exciting! (most exciting for Rebecca, who loves to bargain shop and then resell her finds.) Karn said he’d be the “holder of things” and my hubby said he’d take the things to the counter and pay for them and take them to the car. We all have our jobs ..read more

Hi everyone, Today was a busy day with Rebecca and Karn and Kristoffer joined us for some of the day. We went to the Goodwill and everyone found something! (My only purchase was a very neat Evergreen colored sparkly dress that I’m going to cut up for Christmas gloves…as soon as I’m able to use some scissors without my thumb hurting. It is better, but I’m still taking it very easy because when I move it the least little bit in the wrong way, it feels like day one again.) Rebecca…found things to resell. Karn found a few things for fun and so did Kristoffer! His favorite thing was a vintage View ..read more

Hi everyone, I’d like to wish my sister, Cindy, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY today… as well as my niece, Molly, who has a birthday as well… and it’s also American Girl, Molly’s birthday too! You guessed it, my niece, Molly, received a Molly doll on one of her birthdays when she was younger… of course, both Molly’s having birthdays on the same day… Deb had to get her the doll! :o) Well, my daughter, Rebecca and her hubby, Karn, made it safely to Illinois, all the way from Pennsylvania! We have already been having fun, visiting, looking at things in my sewing room, sharing stories, celebrating my hubby ..read more

YAY! I was able to get my dolls listed on Ebay… and I took Dorothy L’s advice and listed them separately. I know that feeling when you want ONE of something, but already have, or don’t need the OTHER something… It was just as easy to list the dolls separately and since I mentioned I would combine shipping if someone wanted both dolls, it worked out well. My dark brown #25 doll sold this morning, so now if these last two dolls will sell, I might be finished with selling dolls for a while… or maybe not… I do have my eye on one but she is bit expensive so I’m trying to decide IF I really want to ..read more

I did the best I could on these two American Girl dolls, but I really need to move on, so I am listing them together on Ebay. Their biggest problem was how dirty they were. Well, then there was their gummy hair… Oh, and don’t forget those shine marks, scribbled marks, and those wiped away freckles. Oh… and that blue hair on Julie… Maybe the dirt on them was really the minor thing to be addressed. Well, this is what I did… I wiped them down first with a disinfecting cloth…actually SEVERAL of them. That way I could see better what was left in the way of spots or scrapes or shine marks. Then I us ..read more

HI everyone, CONGRATULATIONS to Karen on the news of a BOY for her next BABY. I know her girls must be beside themselves wondering what it will be like to have a new baby brother! Congratulations to Karen and your whole family! I secretly bet your hubby is the most excited of all… Ahhh… a Son!!! :o) My day didn’t go exactly as I had hoped, but I did get my 2 dark brown headed dolls listed on Ebay… You can see them by clicking the pictures of them on the right side bar or you can click HERE and HERE to see them on Ebay. (UPDATE: Well, my #41, (Eden’s look-a-like), sold before I even got my post ..read more

Hi everyone, I have a reminder for you: The two American Girl dolls that I fixed up to sell, will be going to a new home this evening. I hope they will be loved much by their new moms and sisters! :o) You can see their listings on Ebay by clicking their pictures at the right side bar or you can click HERE and HERE. Rebecca and Karn had something come up so they didn’t make it this week, but are coming this next week… I wish I had more to show you, but I had a busy weekend with a Women’s mini gathering, and also we celebrated 2 different birthdays with a picnic. It was all I could do to find so ..read more

Hello everyone, Now that’s a title, isn’t it? Thank you SO much for all the information about the printers you use. I wrote down models and makes AND… Rebecca and Karn are coming home Sunday for a week, and said they’d help us with what to pick! I’m excited, but have lots to do before they get here and I’ve got 2 days! Yikes! Rosemary asked about how I have my dolls listed on Ebay… I just set a low price to begin with, hoping someone would want to buy them… and then put another price if they wanted to go a little higher and buy them outright for the slightly higher price without having to wait ..read more

Before I talk about the dolls, I have a question for everyone… We are in need of a new printer… We have an Epson XP-440 and it has been “okay” but now they have stopped carrying the individual ink cartridges at Walmart/any place actually (the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black only come in a combo pack) My printer WON’T print anything when even ONE of the printer cartridges says it’s low… so I’m sitting here with a printer, that won’t work because I don’t have a refill for the blue cartridge in it. I did find someone on Ebay selling the individual ink cartridges, and at a good price, but after I ..read more
