Finally getting around to showing off Mini Me's house decorated for Christmas - inside and out! :D The porch got some greenery this year instead of me wrapping those fairy lights around the pillars. They're so stubborn and I have to wrap them around three pillars, all while keeping them even and making sure they show and not the wires. Plus, the wires were green and not white or silver, so they kind of stuck out in a bad way. So I went with greenery this time! The 12 Days of Christmas dolls really helped bring in some great decor, too!

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! Kenleigh is ready - she's got her decorations out, and her lucky Care Bear. :D I've also decided to stop moving the large wolf picture above the fireplace back and forth when I have a wreath up there and just have a wreath for all holidays/seasons. Which means I'll need two of each since I also have the front door LOL.

Happy Birthday, Barbie!

Happy 65th birthday, Barbie! Kenleigh has thrown the queen of fashion dolls a party complete with all pink snacks! White cake with pink icing, pink gummy bears, donuts and cookies with pink frosting, and of course strawberry ice cream and pink drinks! Mmm... And let's not forget the iconic pink mixed with the classic black and white stripes to finish off the theme!

Barbie actually seems surprised to be getting a party lol:

All the tasty treats:

Time to dish up the ice cream:

Cheers!

Plates/bowls of goodies (and yes, even they're pink lol):

Have you ever owned or used a Ouija board? I haven't, and I have no desire to do so. I'm not even sure I really believe in all the craziness tied to them, either. But that doesn't stop my dolls from doing it LOL.

Damian: "Kenleigh, what are you doing?"

Kenleigh: "Proving that these boards are a total crock. I don't think they summon anything, good or evil."

(POOF)

Kenleigh & Damian: "What was that?"

(upon seeing the apparition that spawned): "AAAAHHH!!!"

Damian: "Kenleigh, look what you did!"

Kenleigh: "I'm sorry! Here, let me try something - maybe I can make her go away!"

Damian: "What?! I wouldn't be messing with that thing - who knows what you'll summon next!"

(POOF)

Damian: "Who's that? Another killer doll?"

Kenleigh: "No, I know her! I know enough about her to know that she sees demons as evil! Nezuko, get her!"

(pounce attack)

Damian: "Kenleigh, how many killer dolls are going to wind up in this house? A couple of years ago, you had Chucky here. Now you've got Annabelle, and we have a demon brawl in the living room."

Kenleigh: "I'm sorry! I guess that board does summon things..."

(POOF)

Kenleigh: "Oh, good. I guess this was only temporary. They both must have gone back to their own worlds now."

Damian: "Good."

Kenleigh: "Where are you taking that?"

Damian: "It's going where it belongs - in the trash, and then in a burn barrel."

Kenleigh: "Sounds fair."

Today's 12 Days of Dollstagram theme on Instagram (this year I'm hosting it!!!) is "Seasonal Sweets." Kenleigh has begun baking hers! Mmm...

She looks quite pleased with how these cute snowman cookies turned out :D The only problem? They're too cute to eat! This also ties in to today's Monday 4 Dolls prompt of "Christmas Preparation." What better way to prepare than having all those tasty treats?! :D

Kenleigh and Damian are ready for Grandma Gets Real's ugly sweater party on Instagram! Honestly, these are too cute to be considered ugly sweaters lol. And when you aren't sure what to bring to the party, you bring a little bit of everything. :D How adorable is this little peppermint table? I found it in Bullseye's Playground at Target, and it also came with a smaller one that could work as a coffee table. Love them!

It's go time! The candy is ready to hand out to the trick-or-treaters, and Kenleigh is dressed in her costume to greet them. Yes, she's a ghost. 😁 She's also using the McDonald's McBuckets to hand the candy out... I think she's got enough for all the neighborhood kids and herself to last until Christmas. 😆 Buckets were 3D printed by my hubby, and I painted the faces/details. 🙂 Candy is from the Minis in Minis series, plus a few printouts.

Today's Monday 4 Dolls theme on Instagram is "Sweater Weather." This can mean a few different things. :D

Sometimes it's nice to just hang out on your front porch like Kenleigh, sipping a hot beverage (in this case, hot chocolate - we don't drink coffee lol).

For Kiku, it's about keeping warm under the heated kotatsu table and blanket, turning on the space heater, and cozying up with a good manga... followed by video games! :D

Lots of milestones this year. Happy 25th anniversary to a true classic, Halloweentown! Kenleigh and Damian are cuddling in their comfy PJs to watch the movie. Not the same without Grandma Aggie, though. RIP, Debbie Reynolds.

Happy Turtle Tuesday!!! Kenleigh would like to show off her newly redecorated office. :D The old L-shaped desk has been replaced with a more modern, clear one, and the old office chair with a hollow back (both pieces were Gloria, and the former didn't like to stay together at all) has been replaced with a larger one for more comfort. (I actually used this desk/chair set in my Disney Princess room diorama lol).

In honor of Turtle Tuesday, I thought I'd showcase these adorable Ninja Turtle minis! Most of us are already aware of the World's Smallest Toys/Micro Figures, and of course I had to get the TMNT ones. Each figure comes out of its package and includes his weapons and a stand. To prevent losing all that stuff, they'll stay in their boxes. Why are they on a shelf on the wall and not in the bookshelf? Because the boxes are just a tad too tall LOL. I'd made that wall shelf many years ago but could never get it to stay on a wall... sticky tack wasn't holding it, and neither was velcro. You know what works great? Gorilla Glue sticky tack! Seriously, I've got ani-ME's kitchen cabinets hung up with that stuff, and they don't budge unless I intentionally move them. :D

The newest addition is the adorable Funko Bitty Pops! How adorable are those?! Funko has had this tiny line of Pop figures for a while, but only recently did they release ones I was interested in - TMNT and Disney Princess! Each figure can come out of its plastic box (remove it from the bottom, and it doubles as a stand for the figure), and each set (they come in sets of four) comes with a mini clear display case. Each set of four features three figures you can see and one mystery figure. Somehow, I wound up getting FOUR of the pixelated Michelangelo... I was hoping to at least get a Bebop to go with the rest of the bad guys (those two have the same chance percentage), but alas, it wasn't meant to be. So I'll be putting some random pixelated Mikeys in other houses LOL.

Of course, there are other goodies in the office. Micro Me (the tiny Barbie from the Dollar Tree career pack blind bags that I repainted) is there, along with my favorite Mini Bratz doll (Kumi in her kimono), Rosalina from Mario Kart (my fave character), Ariel (my fave Disney princess), and some dinosaurs (including Blue!). More may be added to the shelf later, but for now, this works!

So there you have it! Kenleigh's new and improved office! There is one empty wall where the gaming consoles were, which I've moved to the living room. I intend to make a little crafting table/area against that wall, but that will come later. :D

Showing off the office:

The new shelf for the sole purpose of displaying collectibles:

The Funko Bitty Pops can be removed from their boxes; the bottoms double as stands.

There are more Pop figures to collect, but I got the main ones I wanted!!!

Dolls for dolls! :D Got Micro Me, Bratz Kumi, Ariel, and Rosalina from Mario Kart:

Dinosaurs!

Showing off the World's Smallest TMNT figures (although my Micro Mutants from the 90s beg to differ lol; they're even smaller!):

Summer is coming, and that usually means vacation for a lot of people. A popular destination is Disneyland or Disney World, and what better time to visit than the park namesake’s centennial? Yep, Walt Disney Studios turns 100 this year!

I’ve been on a Disney Princess kick lately, so I've decided to share pictures of my princess dolls with some of their information and fun facts. I’ll skip the movie plots because I’m sure anyone who knows Disney already knows that. These posts will be about the original cartoons, not the live action adaptations. Let’s dive in!

But first, Kenleigh and Kiku are wearing clothes inspired by my two favorite princesses - Ariel and Mulan!

The new Disney ily Forever fashion dolls come with princess inspired headbands, but not there wasn't a doll made inspired by Mulan (just a fashion and accessory pack), so I had to make one. :D I'm having fun making these little Minnie ear headbands, and I have more in the works for princesses whose inspired dolls weren't made. :)

Fun fact: Not only does Disney turn 100 this year; it's also the 40th anniversary of Tokyo Disneyland! Double the fun!

How often do you eat out? Do you have a favorite fast food joint? Kenleigh and I love Subway! She and Damian are having lunch to go today. :D Kenleigh has the BMT and Damian has the meatball sub. And of course, no Subway meal is complete without the cookie!

(Side note: The Foodies Mini Brands are my favorites of the Zuru 5 Surprise series! I can't wait to see what series 2 brings!)

In keeping with the Disney theme, I made my own My Own Barbie Style with goodies inspired by the princesses! I couldn't fit an item for every single princess in one box lol, and some were harder to find items for than others, so I just did what I could come up with. :D And to challenge myself, I used only official Barbie items. So none of these are from the new Disney ily 4 ever fashion dolls, or Zuru 5 Surprise or anything like that. Everything is Barbie (even though some is from many years ago lol). :D Wearing: Snow White inspired Next to doll: Ariel Left side: Mulan, Elsa, and Moana Right side: Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella

Welcome to Jurassic Park

Happy 30th anniversary to the king of dinosaur movies, the original Jurassic Park!

Released in theaters on June 11, 1993, this movie is based on a book of the same name and still holds up well all these years later. The animatronic T-Rex used in the movie is still being used in all the sequels, including the Jurassic World franchise.

I was in kindergarten when this movie first came out, and it scared me back then. But, of course, I eventually got over it. I actually came to really love dinosaurs, and I still think they’re interesting today.

My doll selves are ready to help me commemorate this milestone!

In Jurassic World, Owen has a “pet” raptor named Blue. Cute, but Kenleigh has a T-Rex named Chomp. :D

It’s okay, she’s tame!

Who says a logo graphic t-shirt with matching cap and cutoff jeans and a dinosaur/reptilian skinned clutch can’t be a fashion statement?

I’d like to take this opportunity to say - check out this awesome T-Rex! This is the Colossal T-Rex that was released not long after the first Jurassic World movie. I’d been eyeing it for a while, and when it finally went on sale, I grabbed it. From the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, it measures three feet long. The mouth opens and closes, and the hands and feet can also be moved into a variety of positions. The tail can also move from side to side. The T-Rex can also swallow up to 20 mini figures, though I haven’t done that part lol. I thought it was a great size for 1/6 scale dolls, and once I actually put a Barbie with it, I was even more convinced!

My backyard apparently makes a great backdrop for her. :D

So Kenleigh seems to like the carnivores, but Kiku seems to favor the herbivores. Excuse me, the veggiesauruses. :D

Who says dinosaurs can’t be kawaii (cute)?! I won those adorable plushies in a Japanese claw machine at a Round 1 arcade. I knew they’d be great for ani-ME!

Modeling time! The jungle is the runway. :D

I couldn't do a 7-Eleven Day post without including that Slurpee! Many of the stores in the U.S. give away a free small Slurpee on this day (July 11, aka 7/11). Kenleigh stopped on her lunch break to grab one! I think she likes the cherry flavor. :D She even brought out her cherry dress and purse LOL.
