My thoughts of the new releases...

Okay, first off, please do NOT yell at me if my thoughts about this are different from yours. You don't need to yell. Last time I shared my thought's about Addy, everybody (besides Meg ;) ) yelled!

Anyways, just a few of my favorites...
Alright, I love this to death! Too cute all around! Knee pads, hair elastics, everything... The only problem is tennis shoes are hard to get on doll, but just play around with them, and eventually they will be flexible.
So cute! Even though I don't have hearing aids, I feel like I really need this! So cute! And it's removable! For $14 dollars, I think that's a deal.
Alright, they do look a little freaky, must admit, but for girls with cancer, this is a must have! Hopefully they make more bald dolls soon, cause I would love to customize one.
Alright, I love this! To me, there is nothing wrong about this. So adorable!
I love this! Love. Love. Love. But for a friendship bracelet, team jacket, shoes and a gold medal, is $24 dollars really worth it? And besides, should you be wearing a friendship bracelet in competition? If I did wore my too beloved bracelets at a Feis (Irish dance competition) I would get yelled at!
So adorable! I think this might be hard to put on, and she does not want to do rheumatic gymnastics, Toulane wants to! Not great, but adorable, and love the hair style!

Cute, but I think I could easily make this. I love this though!

And of course, my least favorites...
Alright, very adorable, but... Okay, the shirt: Love it! Looks easy to put on, too. Vest: Looks fairly hard to put on. Jeans: It wrecks your dolls vinyl! That's why a bunch of Marisol's have scratches on their limbs! Shoes: Cute, but look like plastic, and don't match outfit.
I LOVE THE OUTFIT ITSELF, BUT I WOULD NEVER BUY THIS.
 I love the colors gray and black, but dislike the outfit... It's all wrong! I think they tried to do something as popular as the safari sundress was, but failed. Shoes are plastic, and print is wrong... Not a buy for me!
Okay, I don't quite know why I don't like this... Epi Pen is cute and all, but first off, how they did the bracelet is NOT  realistic, and just because you have food allergies doesn't mean you eat healthy! Lol, I know, that sounds really wrong, but it's the truth.
Alright... I don't like how the dress is all scrunched and wrinkled in areas, and how there is a lonely little butterfly in the corner. The boots don't match the outfit, and the headband is too much of a hot pink to match the outfit.
The new meet outfit is gross! Seriously, gray, pink, and tan. Plus the boots have a little clover or something on them. For mix and match purposes, this might be nice, but really, this is gross!
I have the old Licorice, and love her, but this one... May I have a doggie bag to throw up in? It's gross! It's scronny, fuzzy, and all around strange! The old one is a ton better...

Oh well, these are just my opinions, but maybe yours are different ;) And I would've posted this earlier, but I was camping (with no WiFi) and couldn't check it out until now.

How to make realistic chocolate chip cookies for your doll!

Alright, first off, SO sorry for not posting lately! I thought I could do a post on Thursday, but it got way too busy, with dance, llamas, going grocery shopping, etc. And on Friday, I was going to Chicago for a dance competition. My results weren't great, but the competition was HUGE, and you couldn't even hear the music, cause all the stages were so close to each other, and one had a loud accordion, and the rest of them had violins, and none of us could hear the music. In Slip Jig, the music was WAY too fast, and in Treble Jig the music was WAY  too slow!

Then I thought I could do a Father's day post, but really, the dolls don't really have "father's" at all! So that kinda wrecked that idea. I should do a custom boy doll, shouldn't I?

But anyway, let's just get on with the post now, shall we? ;)




First of, take some brown polymer clay, roll it uneven, and bake it in the oven (not the microwave) for five minutes on 275.
Now once it is room temperature, (if your impatient like me, just stick in the freezer for two minutes) cut it unevenly to make the chips!
Take a ball of tan colored polymer clay, indent it with your thumb, and put the chips inside, then fold it back up.
Play with it for a while, until you're starting to get something like this!
Then get it into a cookie shape. Chocolate chip cookies were actually made by mistake, so don't try to make it perfect :)
Take chalk pastels (or Crayola chalk works fine, too) and take a knife and get some on your plate, then take a brush and dust the cookie with it to make it look "baked".
Then texture it with a ball of foil (or a toothbrush) until you like the texture. Then bake on 275 for 15 minutes (not in the microwave) and let cool, then gloss with Sculpey gloss.
Lanie loves them, and I hope your dolls do, too!

Tell me how they worked out for you :)
