I got 2 MH Cam sets on Cyber Monday for $11 each, I think, maybe. At least I ordered them but so far Amazon is still processing them and I can't tell if they're going to ship or not. I got the Dragon/Werewolf and the Sea Monster/Vampire kits. I'm going to use the Sea Monster Body for Sabrina Skully my Skeleton Girl and probably the vampire one for Spooka Vondergeist aka Ghost Girl so I can put my were-cat back together. I like the Werewolf, though I'm making mine into a vampire because that's what she looks like to me, my idea of a female (not pink) vampire. I like the dragon too so we'll probably just add her to the collection. I think that makes 11, so 2 more to go and my set will be done, unless I go past the Lucky 13 I really meant to have. It will all depend upon future cam sets I guess. The regular dolls they just don't do it for me so much. I have a couple but the cam sets I tend to like a lot so if they come out with more and they are interesting there just might end up being more I suppose. I was thinking of adding Spectra and maybe Venus to complete my set...

The bangles turned out great, even if I DID try to saw my finger down the middle...

How did you make those????
I just won a turquoise and silver ring on ebay, it's going to be a doll bracelet, probably for Prima or Mary.

Cheap aluminum bangles cut with a jeweler's saw, coiled on a dowel and the coil cut into rings. Twist the rings to close them and test with your fingers to make sure there's no scratchy bits. Wallah, you got bangles.

These are painted aluminum, so you not only lose about 1cm or so on each end of the coil, the texture will make it bend in an L instead of a curve if you rush it, spoiling a ring, or else you can also crack the paint if you rush too fast. What you see on her arms is the good bits from three human sized bangles.

I would definitely end up bloody if I attempted that.

My finger is finally healed up enough to try again on the rest. THIS time I have a wooden dowel to slide the coil onto. Sawed myself last time because I didn't have one.

I bought a couple books on ebay, also some doll clothes and a Little Little Golden Book of the Saggy Baggy Elephant.

shhhhhhh... Saggy Baggy is going to be Clover's Christmas present from her brother. >_<

Edit because my post was still the newest one in the thread:

A book I have been waiting for by one of my favorite authors came out recently, and I ordered it today!! (Shadow's Claim by Kresley Cole) >_> I also ordered some other books that I am less excited to read from Amazon so I could get the free shipping

I got two 'Lego Friends' girls to serve as dolls for my dolls ^^. They're tiny and adorable!! Bought one, got one for free ^^

[coloredimage]

Lego Friends sound like a cute idea for your girls!

I just bought Colum some jeans and a sweater. The jeans should be here before Christmas so he won't have to sit around in these weird capri-sweats he's currently sitting around in. The sweater isn't supposed to come until after Christmas so I'll have to find something decently manly to put him in soon.

I also got Estella a new wig that is more what I had originally described her hair as, so hopefully it'll be a good fit. That was shipped from California yesterday so it should be here tomorrow.

Those look wonderful!
I remember aluminum bangles from when I was little. They made such a nice sound as they slid around on your arm.
