    Oh Pap~What is Mabel?:confused:

    Beanie Mabel is a Momiji doll, they are japanese inspired and I love them, although they are a bit expensive :o My fave set/designer was relased not so long ago and thats when I decided I needed to use them as a target. Oh and I also brought this bag in the sale, I loved it when I found it on ebay 2 months ago for £20, however £5 is more my price ;)
    Well done PAP, and hope you love Mabel when she arrives.

    Beanie, are you organising an Edinburgh meet sometime?

    Thanks Skinty I am sure I will. I did something for someone off DFW and as a gift she brought me Souzi. She is amazing and too cute :rotfl: Thanks for the encouragement (you too Sammy) it means a lot :j

    Ps Beanie I would love an Edinburgh meet too, so I can meet you and Spud :grinheart

    Thanks Spudly... Are you going to do SW? I bet you will fab at that as the social aspect isnt there. Have you had a nice break anyways? Would be fab if I could come... thats if its arranged :)

    Sally, I would buy one as making one is far too hard ~ take it from someone who has tryed. Cost about £20 to make :o You can get filled fairys on ebay for £15. Not too bad I dont think :cool:

    Yes hun, going to go back to SW. If I didnt have the family, CD would be perfect for me, but DD is at an impressionable age, and it wasnt doing her any good watching me live on soups and shakes. Plus, I couldnt bare to sit and watch them eat.

    I've been eating so much rubbish since I stopped CD, I dread to think what the scales would say :o

    I'm glad it's working for you though. You'll soon have your next doll :T
