From Toy Story 3 on Ice

Star Wars pancakes and Squinkies, what a combo!

 

 

And some of Mary’s original dance moves…

Look at this set, isnt’ it neat, wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete. Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl, the girl who has everything?

 

Mary, like Ariel, has quite the collection of … everything! Can’t even remember how many bags of her excess clothes and toys I have delivered to the goodwill this past fall.  Still have to get rid of more, we are almost at maximum capacity.

My Twinn doll arrived today, disappointed that it does NOT look like Mary’s twin.

 

this doll, wearing the pink shirt is the one that arrived today. Does not look like Mary, except maybe for the hair style. Where are her pretty almond shaped eyes??!  The face shape is ‘ok’, it’s for lack of a better phrase, the absence of her ethnicity that disappoints me!

The photos of Mary below are the ones I sent to mytwinn.com   I wanted a doll for her that would represent her heritage, as well as be a fun keepsake.

 

This doll, seen below, has more like the Asian features I expected. I saw this one for sale on ebay, prior to ordering directly from mytwinn.com

If I wanted a generic dark haired doll, I could have ordered an American girl doll.

 

a little more mismatched than usual. and a few scenes from the Pearl S Buck house craft show
