Yes, yes, yes, my Mums friend Jody WON the ReMarthable contest & the beautiful custom BMW!  I just love watching the video clip of her reaction when Martha announced her name...it brings happy tears to my eyes. 

This is the needle felted Koala that she showed how to make on Martha Stewart.  Click here for the video tutorial.

Playground Adventure with a Baby Monster

The Vintage girls are back to share their first BIG adventure with you.  To us, it's just a trip to the playground...but to them, it's a whirlwind of a time at an amusement park ;) 

If you'd like to get to know the girls a little better, click here.

If you'd like to see what they've been up to, read on...

It was a beautiful winter day, unseasonably warm, and the sun was shining bright.  The V Dolls just couldn't stand being cooped up in the house another minute!  So, they insisted we wake the baby and go out on an adventure.  I tried to tell them that was a bad idea, but they weren't listening.  They climbed in her crib and tickled her all over until she was one bright-eyed & bushy tailed baby girl.

Baby girl played really nicely at the park while Candy Cakes & Ida May somehow convinced Lou Lou to get on the twirl-a-whirl!  She isn't a big fan of things that spin around and around...but she agreed to ride as long as she could sit down.  And so, off they went...

 

...until Lou Lou almost got sick!

And when she could finally stand straight, she decided to get Ida May back by having her climb the really big ladder with her (because Ida doesn't like heights ya know ;).

Can you believe she made her go first?

 

She was a trooper though...she did it, and actually liked it (as long as she didn't look down)!

Then she felt like she was on top of the world and started getting all sassy.  She squealed with joy as Lou Lou and Candy Cakes took their positions for the huge slide race. 

"Ready, set, gooooooo..."

..."Wheeeee," and it was over before they could open their eyes.  And those girls are still bickering over who won, tee hee ;)

They just couldn't take anymore excitement, so they decided to wind down by relaxing on the swing.  The breeze blew and they pretended they were sitting on the sand, watching the dolphins frolic around out in the ocean, aaaahhhhh...

 

And then, BAM...Attack, Attack...

 

Baby Monster was not having it anymore!  She was done, she was cranky, she was still sweepy, and those girls were on HER swing (I told them not to wake her up)!

They got tossed around a bit, but they didn't mind.  They loved that baby monster and she meant no harm. 

Aaaand, they were rescued within seconds anyway, and given lots of hugs & kisses...
