In honor of Memorial Day

I know I haven't posted for a while, my BJD's have taken the majority of my attention these days. I did however get inspired this morning to redresh my Kish kids and take a few photos in honor of Memorial Day.

These 2 cuties are both painted by LN Harris. Lace (left) is a former Pippi, and Willow (right) is a former Avery.

Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone! THank you to all that serve/have served in the military.

A beautiful new addition.......

This beautiful lady arrived recently. She's the first repaint I've bought in quite a while, but when I saw her posted FS on LN Harris' site right after I received the gorgeous little Willow in the mail as a gift from a dear friend, I knew I had to have Shye to be Willow's mom.

I couldn't be more pleased with how they look together. They really look related IMHO.

The gorgeous Ian, a repainted Jeremy by Tracy Weston, rounds out the family (for now anyway). I may have to add an additional sibling when the right one comes along.

For now, I think these 3 make a wonderful addition to my group of families.

Portraits in the pumpkins .........pt. 1

Just a few new portraits of the Kish kids amongst the pumpkins. First up are Donegal Riley and Pippi in dresses by Janice Mundy.

Then Ria, my Nurse Riley, wearing fall wear by Spampy.

And lastly Contempo Riley and Lace, a repaint by LN Harris, model in their dresses by Janice Mundy.

Some new Kish kid photos.....

Took the 3 Kish girls with the Tulah/Pippi sculpt outside for some new photos today.

My first Tulah, Field Trip Tulah, dressed in an outfit by Janice Mundy.

Next was Pippi. She's dressed in an outfit by an unknown seamstress.

Lastly, the last girl with the Pippi sculpt, Lace by LN Harris.

Some new family pics....

Just a few new pics of my first dolly family.

The girls have been dressed for pics since Easter. I figured it was about time they had their picture taken, LOL!

Little girls by the pool........

I know it's been forever since I've posted. My BJD men have been taking up most all of my attention these days it seems.

Tonight I just felt like taking these 2 cuties out to the pool for some new pictures.

Lace, my Pippi repaint by the very talented LN Harris and her best friend Contempo Riley. One of the most versatile Riley's ever done IMHO. I just love her cute little bob.

Kish kids

Just a few new shots of my Kish kids with my new camera. Finally bought myself a DSLR camera, after wanting one for quite a while. I'm enjoying playing with it and trying to learn the manuel settings.

My first Riley, Winter Riley. She's still a favorite.

Mary in her spring yellow, dress by Janice Mundy. All the girls dresses are by Janice Mundy.

And lastly, Zsu Zse in her daisy dress.

Lace.........

Just a quick break, from focusing on some new pics of my Tonner men, to let Lace show off her new outfit from Janice Mundy. Janice was kind enough to send this adorable outfit for the girls as a runner up prize to a Valentine's guessing game she ran on the Riley Hugs and Kishes board. The girls always get so excited to get a package from Janice in the mail.

A little pink............

I loved the print on this material so much I couldn't resist commissioning a dress from Spampy in this fabric for Riley.

With Valentine's day around the corner, Riley and Marley decided to dress up in their new pink outfits from Spampy to celebrate a bit early.

Sisters............

Just thought I'd share a few pics of Alice and her sisters, Ellery and Riley. I asked Janice Mundy to make some coordinating outfits for me that could be used for Valentines Day, but that didn't "scream" Valentines Day, so that I could use them at other times as well. Since I love prints on a black background I was thrilled with what Janice came up with.

DJ and his dad.........

DJ got a new guitar for Christmas and his Dad has been teaching him to play. I found this adorable guitar at Hallmark and thought it was perfect for DJ. My son got a child's guitar for Christmas one year and the memories of my husband teaching my son to play was the inspiration behind these pics.

Ellery, the newest Kish addition.

And one of the whole family.............

I've had my eye out for this particular Ellery for quite a while now. I didn't want to buy the whole GS from TwoDaydreamers and have to try and sell Sydney (but I was almost to that point). Luckily, she came up FS on ebay by herself a few days before Christmas and I splurged. Here she is modeling her snowflake dress from Janice. Seems she gets along very well with the family cat, LOL!

Lace........

Lace is my newest Kish kid. She's one of LN Harris' wonderful creations. I've admired LN's work with the Kish kids for so long, and when she posted this dark haired Tulah I just knew she was perfect for me. I love Tulah's sculpt, and have wanted one with dark hair for quite a while. I"m so glad to have Lace living here. Lace's hat is also by LN, and her outfit is by Janice Mundy.

Dolly family Christmas pics.........

Took the second round of dolly family Christmas pics today. Thought I would share Mary and Jessamyn's family here for the day. Dad is Quinn, a repainted Russell by the fabulously talented Sonya Giddens. He's had a bit of resculpting work done too. Sonya really has a knack with the mandolls. Wish she had time to do more! Esme was enhanced by Gena Claire as I didn't like her original lip color. The girls dresses were made by the wonderfully talented Janice Mundy.

Baking time..........

Pippi and Donegal have their baking utensils all ready to help mom make the Christmas cookies. The "utensils" were Hallmark ornaments (last year I think) and they are the perfect size for the Kish girls. The girls outfits are from Janice Mundy.
