I've now officially purchased one, and sadly, she does not improve in person. :( It's really a shame, because Emma Watson could make a very pretty doll if done correctly.

She looks kinda confused, I think if they went with a better facial expression for the doll like with the Hasbro version. It might not have been do bad.

I'll be sure to pass your message along to Little Gal. :) <br /><br />As far as schools, we have two promising possibilities. Thanks for your prayers. I'm meeting with one school two days from now, and am in the process of setting up an appointment with the other school. I'll keep you guys posted as I have more information.<br /><br />I hope you find your own Pullip treasure at Tuesday Morning! :)<br /><br />Hi Treesa! So good to hear from you, my patient friend. :) Thank you very much for your kind words and lovely gifts. You always make me smile. :)<br /><br />Hi Nikki! I'm sure I'll love it. There's something so magical about live theatre. :) I used to have the entire score memorized in high school. I'll probably have to stop myself from singing along! ;)<br /><br />Hi MyLittleMegara! Thank you so much. Your prayers are appreciated. Wonderful to hear from you, as always. :)<br /><br />Hi Sarah! Lol, please don't feel bad. I didn't think you were pushy at all. It was just the little wake-up call I needed to get my act together. :) Have a wonderful week!<br /><br />Hi jSarie! Blech, mold is not fun. I'm not sure if I got rid of it for good, but for the time being the problems have settled a bit. <br /><br />Thank you! It was so much fun getting to take snow pictures again. :)<br /><br />Hi Farrah Lily! Wonderful to hear from you. :)<br /><br />I used a combination of paint AND colored pencils, and some chalk pastels, too. I used water color pencils for the first part, but unfortunately, mine aren't the greatest quality, so they didn't work all that well. For the later layers, my Prismacolor regular colored pencils worked well. At the very end, I added paint to the eyes to make them pop. I'm still learning, but it's been super fun! :)<br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. It was fun taking them. It's been a while since I've set aside the time for a dolly photo shoot, so it was nice having an "excuse." ;) <br /><br />You should definitely check your Tuesday Morning store periodically. You never know what will turn up! ;)<br /><br />Oh, I'm stuck on the Shoppies, too! I tend to go for the Lil' Shoppies more, just because they take up less space, but I do have my three regular Shoppies on my bookshelf. :) And I must say, I just saw a regular-sized Kristea at Target the other day and was SUPER tempted to get her. ;)<br /><br />I was so happy with how the shelves turned out. :) I'm trying to keep my Lil' Shoppies to three house shelves. We'll see how I do. ;)<br /><br />I'm really excited to see what the Disney Store releases, too. The only thing I've seen so far is another Moana LE. While I loved the movie, I don't think Moana is what I want to go for. I'd prefer Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, or Frozen (although I can't see them releasing more Frozen LE dolls anytime soon with as many as they released in the past couple of years!). <br /><br />Teddy is getting huge! I didn't realize just how quickly puppies grow. He's going to be a big boy! ;)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-24670894235650667902017-01-25T19:50:31.934-08:002017-01-25T19:50:31.934-08:00Hi Hannah,
Great to see you back! Your Christmas...Hi Hannah, <br />Great to see you back! Your Christmas photos look so colorful and cozy. I'm glad you guys had a great time. Your first repaint looks nice! Did you use paint or water color pencils? That is something that I've always wanted to try, but I can't seem to jump into it. I blame it on "no time", lol. <br />The snowy photos look gorgeous! I especially love the rebodied Candy Princess Barbie. So pretty. Your new Pulip doll is also adorable! I don't have any Pulip dolls in my collection, but I really like them and hope to get one some day. We have a Tuesday Morning store somewhat nearby and I've never gone inside, so I will have to check it out! <br />I have to say..I'm obsessed with the Shoppies now. I was slow to jump on the bandwagon, but now I think they are so adorable. So far I've collected Gemma Stone (I found her on clearance for $9 in Walmart!) and Rainbow Kate. I also picked up a mini Rainbow Kate and Mini Kristina Apples. So cute! I LOVE your idea of displaying them in those mini shelves. <br />Congrats on being able to get your 1st Disney LE doll!! So exciting! I'm excited to see what comes out this year. I haven't heard any leaks or rumors as of yet. I think Snow White may be close to celebrating her 80th aniversary so I would love to see another one of her. :) <br />Your puppy is getting so big!

We had some mold drama around here as well, so I can sympathize with that bit.<br /><br />Love the photos in the snow! :)jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-4930996958319179092017-01-22T16:04:52.961-08:002017-01-22T16:04:52.961-08:00Hi.

I just really love it here, and I was wondering if something had happened. Glad to see you're all doing well.

I went to see it live in London in August, but I was in a terrible mood that day so I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. I'm dying to see it again some day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00664545752944333427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-43825389196720705722017-01-22T09:05:36.561-08:002017-01-22T09:05:36.561-08:00Welcome back to the blogosphere Hannah!

Life can be a mixed bag sometimes, but I know you'll make it through the crazy and the stress. To quote Peter Pan, "All it takes is faith and trust."

Also also, AHHHH I'm definitely heading to a Tuesday Morning store! Marianne is beyond gorgeous!
