A Very Flapper Halloween - New Paper Doll Book!

 Just a quick post today! I'm wrapping up some projects and hopefully that'll open up a little time for the ol' blog. I do have a tiny thing planned for October so watch for that at the very least.

Speaking of October...

My newest book is available for preorder! You can grab it here. And if you're thinking, wait a minute...that looks really familiar... YES! I created a smaller version of this last October. Sometimes I fall in love with a project and just expand on it until it feels really & truly complete. This was one of those. It started as a paper cut project for the 2024 paper doll convention, then it became a mini series on the blog, and now, it's a book! I really enjoyed putting together a Halloween costume book that was more than just traditional costumes. And bright colors were important as well. 

Anyway, I hope you all love it as much as I do. All the thanks to Jenny Taliadoros who is the PERFECT person for collaboration.  

Happy Campers in Doll Castle News

This post is going to be a short & sweet kind of post. Summer has been BUSY! Two weeks ago we took a little mini vacation to Connecticut with my parents. We saw Weird Al in concert at Foxwoods and then spent the rest of the weekend visiting the Mystic Aquarium and Mystic Seaport Museum. We all had an excellent time! Apparently the Captain Underpants theme song really resonates with the Gen Z crowd! My kids lost their minds over that and so many Weird Al tunes. It really was a blast.

Today I want to share a little project that will likely become a bigger project. A few months ago, the folks at Doll Castle News reached out about making a paper doll for their centerfold. Sounded like fun to me! We went with a camping theme:
