Well my friends, Year of Luxury is coming to a close. Year of Prosperity shall begin soon.  This year has been so about buying that I nearly forgot what I did before! So let me tell you what new topics will be discussed here since it won't be Acquisitions! The Cheapskate: I'm going to make it my mission to find doll deals wherever I can. If I can't buy it for $40 or cheaper, I will not get it. Unless it's really really really good. Hee! Seamstressing and all that: Did I tell you that my mom said I would inherit her sewing room? This is what happens when you're the family artist, not that I'm complaining. It's an honor. I come from a long line of seamstresses but as someone who has little spacial reasoning, I'm not sure how well I'll do at this. But anyway, I'll be sewing instead of buying (many) doll clothes. Design Inspiration: Let's make a list of all the things I was supposed to build or decorate: Holly Golightly's apartment ...

Okay if you follow this blog, you know I don't make New Year's resolutions, I name my year . I give it a name that will encompass all the goals I have for myself. This year was the Year of Luxury. I bought many things for me and my dolls but as it turns out, I kept buying dolls which I was not supposed to do...But at least they were mostly Barbie. Man I thought I bought stuff this year but there's so much more I want and need. Always so much more. The fetish girls need chairs ($65 each from Horsman ), Penny needs an older sister to help her through her teen alcoholism (Downtown Darling Jett), everyone needs clothes, and there are several independent doll crafters out there that I want to support, (I'm looking at you Vanessa ) but haven't gotten to for one reason or another. Anyway in 2012, I really need to concentrate on buying a house. A 1:1 house that is. I have to keep my goal in mind even though I'm totally bummed about not being able to buy this...
