      Hi there Kathy and all!
Yes'um, those gorgeous, perfect for the holiday season, Holiday Toast dolls 
are now in stock.  However, I haven't shipped them out to those who also have 
the Winter Mist fashion on order with me so the doll/s and fashion could be 
combined into one shipment, saving those customers some shipping money.  
Winter Mist didn't get to the Integrity warehouse until this past Wednesday 
and they are in transit to me now.  They should be here by next Tuesday or 
Wednesday.
I have to comment here on the presentation of the Holiday Toast dolls.  They 
are another example of the thought that is being put into even the packaging 
of Integrity's Candis now.  The dolls have their great red crystal earrings 
in their ears, with the exception of the Asian.  Her's are packaged 
separately in the box.  I had the occasion to talk to Jason right after they 
arrived, so I asked him why they did this.  He said that he was afraid that 
in shipping it would make the Asian's very short hair stick out on the sides 
and look funny.  Thusly, they decided to package her earrings separately in 
the box and let the collectors decide whether or not they even want to use 
them.  The doll really doesn't need them, as flat as the hair is to the sides 
of her head.
Jason also remembered how many times in the past collectors have complained 
about excessive, gunky gel in different dolls' hair that has to be washed out 
by those who play with them.  Consequently on the the Danish, Hispanic and 
Swedish dolls, they put the hair in a net for shipping.
I am most impressed by the thought that is being put into the packaging of 
the dolls now.  I am also grateful that Integrity cares enough about their 
collectors to put this much thought into it!  I would encourage you to drop 
them a note on their customer service e-mail to let them know you appreciate 
their efforts as well.  Just as collectors need to voice valid complaints, we 
also need to extend a pat on the back when one is due.
BTW, Kathy, did I miss something?  PINK hair??????  Love your "Suess"ette.  
Boy, funky hair colors are really in for dolls now, LOL!
I'm leaving town this afternoon for a show in Houston tomorrow.  I know that 
I'll see a couple of list members for sure and am looking forward to it!
Have a good weekend!
Suzanne

<<  My, we are all so quiet here.  Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving
 and are looking forward to the holidays coming up.  Hey Suzanne, any sign
 of the Holiday Toast dolls?  I know a few dealers seem to have them
 already.  Also looking forward to your exclusive coat outfit.  I NEED a
 doll for Christmas. Not like anyone else is getting me one.  LOL.
     I found out that the owner of one of the other doll lists I am on is
 going to be in town for the holidays, and is coming to visit me, so I have
 been frantically cleaning my doll room, and trying to get a doll done for
 her.  At least my doll room looks pretty spiffy now.  I am still working on
 dolls for convention, and I did get this one done.

 And her face.

Her name is "Suess"ette.  Keep in mind Grayson is two, and I have read "
 One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" waaay to many times recently.  LOL
  I am not sure if I have asked, but is anyone from this list coming to
 convention?  I know the table host for the table I finally found still has
 some room, so if anyone needs a place to sit ( and is willing to sit beside
 me, even after I have dyed my hair pink) I would be glad to pass your name
 along.  I would love to find a time to meet up with anyone that is going to
 be there anyway.  Let me know.  This is my one and only convention, so I
 have to make it count!
