Dinky Baby on YouTube

 

I would like to take a moment and say Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year to you all.  I posted a video on YouTube about some up coming changes for 2013, they are also listed here.

 

1. We have changed the Certification Program. You no longer need to be a Distributor or a Demonstrator to be Dinky Baby Certified. You can see the details along the right side of this blog.

 

2.  The Dinky Baby Birthday Club-You will receive 10% off all month long the month of your birthday. Details of how to sign up are long the right side of this blog.

 

3.  Sticky Fabri-solvy faces will be included in all doll patterns, with the exception of the miniature dolls. Now you can have the perfect face, no free hand drawing. No increase in the cost of patterns.

 

4.  All fabric prices will increase beginning Jan. 2013 by $2 per yard. Supplier has increased my cost so I need to pass this on to you.

 

5.  Pheona Sophia is coming in January, this is Holiday's best friend and she is quite the little girl. Loads of clothes will be created for these two best friends.

 

6.  Check out Dinky Baby kits and patterns on Amazon, FREE shipping on all orders.

 

7.  We will be offering new clothes patterns for American Girl dolls as well as a great variety of shoes. These shoes will also fit Holiday, Pheona Sophia and Harper.

 

8.  Hailey and her wardrobe will be available to everyone in January 2013.

 

9.  Watch for tips and how to videos on YouTube, have an idea of what you would like to see, email me.



 



FINAL DAY AT FESTIVAL

 

Today is the final day at festival and as I walked around I took pictures of some behind the scene things and more of my favorite booths. I hope you have enjoyed this journey with me at the Market and Festival.

PEOPLE

I have met lots of great people while at Festival, but some very special friends came by for a picture or to share a doll.

 

This is Laurie, she told me she has made 4 dolls and loves it, "they are easy"!

This is Yale from Israel. She is a member of the Harper project and a doll lover.

 

FRIENDS & FOOD

 

I met a new friend, Ellen, she is from New Jersy and wanted to eat some real Texas bar-b-que. We found a great place and enjoyed the feast.

SEAFOOD

If you want to try something new, this is a photo of the wonderful

Campechana, at Goode Seafood Co. Don't let how it looks fool you, best thing I have eaten. Great food. Unfortunately we only went twice.

Dolls

 

There is a display of dolls amoung the quilts, I thought you might like to see some of what I saw. I have also included a picture of the Best of Show Quilt and winner of $10,000. It is more beautiful in person.

I walked around as set up was going on at the convention center for festival. I took pictures of some interesting booths. I had to redo my booth, because as usual the floor plan changes from market to festival.

 

Busy set up

Glad those are not mine
