Saturday Self-Challenge: Vintage/Retro - take a new photo of your choice and make it look like it's from an earlier era. I had several different options for a subject to decide on in this challenge; old teddy bears, old toys, even an old car. I picked this doll just because she looks so photogenic. I have always had a fascination with antique bisque head dolls that were made during the late 1800s and early 1900s, and I have several in my collection. I recently found this very pretty doll in one of our local antique shops and could not leave without taking her home with me. She still needs a name. ;-) I took the photo in full sunlight, then changed it to sepia and used a program to achieve the scratched up look.

Thanks to my friend Maggie, Colleen finally got her body switched from her less posable Licca body to this more dynamic PureNeemo one! I will have a lot of fun posing this girl!

Spring has fianally arrive to my neck of the woods with sunny skies and 60 F temperatures. Pookie and Colleen had to be outside in their spring clothes (Pookie likes to go gnome hunting!) :)

10-Week Picture Projects: Shapes, Week 5: Heart The "girls" send love and kisses to everyone!

So, here's to Pinocchio!

We have had very warm Summer temperatures during the past week for this time of year. If Tanna, Pookie and Madge could talk, this is what they would say: Tanna: Hey girls, I wish our neighbor's pool was still open...guess I'll have to sunbathe instead. Madge (green dress): What is this?! We get snow on the first day of Spring, and a lot of hot sunny days this Autumn, what gives?!! Pookie: Anyone want to play?
