(Que "The Monster Mash" music)

"I was working in the lab, late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight."

"For my monster from his slab, began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise"

"HE DID THE MASH!

He did the monster mash."

"THE MONSTER MASH

It was a graveyard smash!"

"HE DID THE MASH

It caught on in a flash!"

"HE DID THE MASH

He did the monster mash."

"The gouls all came from their humbla abodes

To get a shock from my electrodes..."

"THEY DID THE MASH!

They did the monster mash..."

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!

Little Miss Revlon Prizes!

I am a member of an online doll club

for Little Miss Revlon dolls and their friends

For more information click here: 

Little Miss Revlon and Friends Club

Our members have events periodically 

and a name is drawn for a prize

AND MY NAME GOT PICKED!

This prize came from taking part in the 

Hometown Event.

I got this beautiful hat and handbag made by my

friend Janet P. who started this fun group.

BUT

My doll needed a dress to go with her new

accessories. So, I started thinking...

I thought an elegant satin gown like

these would be very pretty.

I had this scrap of pink satin, hmm...

I hemmed two sides and started

wrapping and pinning.

When I got it all to look how I wanted I 

hand stitched everything in place.

I added some tulle and a snap in the back.

But now all 3 girls want a dress!

This first pink dress was most

becoming on Amanda.

Very pretty Amanda

Next I used a scrap of lavender

satin and made this gown for

Lauren. 

This hat and handbag are a previous prize

also made by Janet!

So pretty!

Last, I went to the fabric store and

found a salmon satin to go with

my new accessories.

Ready to see my prize hat and handbag

with a new gown?

HERE

THEY

ARE!!

This gown can be worn with the tulle

under the arm or over the shoulder.

I think I like it best over the shoulder.

Here is a photo of the lavender dress back

before I added the tulle.

Very pretty ladies!

And a special 

THANK YOU

to Janet P.

for a lovely prize!

After a hard day modeling it's time for a treat.

 Bonus Milkshake DIY!!

Janet also sent me these little drink cups

along with the hat and handbag.

Using craft paint I painted the inside of

each cup in pink, choclate brown

and vanilla colors.

While the cups dried, I cut a 3/4" piece of

straw.  This piece I cut in thirds.  Then I rolled these

between my fingers until they got skinny.

Lastly, using household caulk fill the cups up to look

like whipped cream and stick a straw in.

Not perfect, but I like them!

The shaved chocolate bits are dried paint I scraped

off my pallet and sprinkled on the still sticky caulk.

ENJOY!!
