The Jadyn Test....................

I hate to admit this but......we use a little 2 year old as a doll testing guinea pig! This is what we call THE JADYN TEST......LOL


Everytime that JoycEE brings me her newest doll to take pics and list on eBay, we always have to get Jadyn's reaction to that particular dollie. It's so funny to watch and see what kind of reaction she will have and the sign that a doll is going to be a good one, is when she gives it a kiss! We know it's a winner then! Of course Jadyn has grown up with Joyce's dolls but every now and then.........there are a few that she refuses to go near......LOL Those ones have gotten the, "Noooooooooo" response or the "Scary!" I wish now that I had written all her responses down. Us Nana's are known to be a little forgetful sometimes! hahaha!

But this newest one of Joyce's she absolutely loved! So Nana had to get the camera out and take a pic of her hugging Joyce's little shining star doll. I found the perfect "slightly creepy" version of the "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" song to use with this auction also! We hope that you will go take a peek at the latest doll that passed THE JADYN TEST! *giggle*

The 4th Annual PFATT Ornie Swap!!!!!!

(Banner made by Samiamcreations for Pfatt members.)

This year, I had the honor and pleasure of being in charge of the annual PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea) eBay group ornie swap! Every year for the past 4 years, my ebay group of Pfatties has an ornie swap at Christmas time. We each make 4 ornaments and send them to whoever is the swap queen. She waits until all the participants have mailed their 4 ornies to her and then she sends each participant a set of 4 different ornies. Then everyone anxiously awaits the arrival of their Pfatt sisters ornies to add to their tree! It is the most favorite of all the PFATT swaps!


Here's a pic of the ornies that I got this year and who they were made by...........


(From left to right: Frogcicle by Pam Gracia of SoftintheHead, my Enchanted Productions snowman ornie by Joyce Stahl, my Sparkly Snowman head ornie by Cindy Conrad of Pyewackitprimitives & Cindy Lou Whimise ornie by Christy Meyers of Ccswhimsies.)


Here's a picture of my tree with lots of Pfatt ornies from the past 3 years.

I had so much fun doing this! I felt like Santa Claus! A PFATT Santa Claus! HoHoHo!!! I hope all the other Pfatties post their ornies on their blogs so you all can enjoy looking at them too!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!
