Chris,Rob, and the Kids' Winter plans

Chris: I almost have all the decorations down. I suppose this one tree won't matter if we make sure the lights are off.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I really like this tree...here...should I leave it up all YEAR long?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: I don't think so Mom. It would look icky with Easter Bunnies on it.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Grumpy: I just want them to leave so I can demolish that cake thing on the table.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Scooter: Shamrocks wouldn 't look so bad. Will the kitties be okay when we are gone?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Puss: Hoomans gone....what?????

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: They'll be fine. Auntie Barbie is right next door and they will love having the whole place to themselves. Is everyone packed?

barbieoldnewgreenredo

We need to leave for the airport by 9:00 PM for the red-eye to LA.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

(The stockings are gone---but the fire is cozy.)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

The girls in unison: We're packed and everything is a go-!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Scooter: I brought two swimsuits will it be warm in California?

Rob: Grandma and Garmpa have a heated pool, so yes...it will be warm enough.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Decorations still Up, but wash is done)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: I'm packed, I'm hoping to buy some new clothes in LA. People dress so dreary here.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: Your closet is always full...!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Chris: We've been here almost six years, and I haven't adjusted yet...can't wait for sun!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Rob: How about one more Christmas photo here:

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Skipper: But, what about the kitties????

barbieoldnewgreenredo

It's really hard to get them to all be still.

Happy New Year

BMR says she is finally DONE!

Ad-Free Blog

Golly it's the Holiday Season in full swing!

Barbara M Robberts says she is DONE, but I'm not done with anything!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

That's quite a list she has----I'd be drinking wine and eating all the cookies if was finished!

Apologies to my readers for dropping the ball in the middle of the Fall season---we have so many story ends drifting in the air. Sometimes LIFE swallows you and doing what you enjoy gets put to the wayside. I'm working on transferring to a new comp---we have been loading the new one and hopefully will be able to function at full speed, and hang on to a browser that doesn't freeze and that works.

THE WORST THING---I have had a terrible time loading other people's blogs...and commenting is a no go---or hit and miss. ADS---have been a nightmare and if the new Mac can't negotiate ads on people's blogs, I will be leaving them, permanently.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I've always planned on BMR to have a gold and white apartment---this is just a quick set up for a holiday photo shoot! It was fun---and I used stuff I already had, and snitched some from other rooms.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: My list is long, with all the employees of BMR Ltd, and those who are so helpful in all my projects and ventures.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: Richelle has been working hard on my penthouse in the GrandView, Ian takes care of the photos for all the promotional materials, Vanny is a great assistant for Lara...well also all my nieces and their families. Golly, I'm really glad I have everything wrapped, finally!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: Richelle found this wonderful gold table (frame on a tea light base) and our lamp we had made a while back (directions DOLL LAMPS HERE).

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: I'm going to love this wall paper when the paneling is finished here in the apartment.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: Loving my traditional tree, I borrowed from Barbie and Ken's home.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Packages everywhere....

barbieoldnewgreenredo

I love all the bright colors and bows, it's so festive.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

For Lara,

barbieoldnewgreenredo

For Chelsea,

barbieoldnewgreenredo

For Scooter, and Russell...he has been a godsend working on the mess over at Vickie's and Trish's----!

Well one more glass of wine and I'm ready for a 'long winter's nap'!

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holiday!

from all of us at

BARBIE Old,New,Green,Redo!

DEAR READERS, From Sandi:

I'm hoping to catch up with great DIY's, stories, new dioramas and more doll fun in the new year. I will also be expanding the doll related offerings in my Etsy store. I seldom mention the store, but it is always listed at the side of the blog anytime you may want to browse---so I'm not counting this as an ad, LOL.

I'll try and post a few holiday stories and projects, before I get the new computer working with all my photos and documents. My old Mac is going on 12 years old---pretty great for something that gets used minimum of 4 hours a day!' I have had a terrible two months of having issues viewing other blogs, joining parties, and commenting and replying has been unavailable MOST of the time. Even on my own blog!

BUT, TODAY I wish you the happiest of Holiday Seasons and may all your

Wishes COME TRUE!

Shopping Trip at Vickie's for the Holidays

Ad-Free Blog

It's past closing time at the store, but Vickie waits for a special customer.

Vickie: (It's so nice listening to Christmas music and just straightening the store. We have been so busy, there is hardly time to take a breath during the day).

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Bzzzzz...Bzzzzzzz...

(Oh, that's got to be Joe texting me---he's outside picking out a Christmas Tree...giggle...Yes, that's good, but isn't it too big?)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

(Ah, here is Ms. Roberts)

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: Vickie that red dress reminds me of one I wore to a high school dance.

Vickie: Well it is vintage, but we altered it a bit. Lovely shade of red!

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: I love all your vintage fashions, and the tree is lovely up here.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: This is the bag I emailed you about...isnt' it gorgeous?

BMR: Oh, my yes, that's perfect for my niece, Lara. Promise you won't tell.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: No one has seen it but myself and my staff!

Perfect please have it wrapped and sent to my office.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: The shop looks so wonderful. How is the 'dungeon' doing?

Vickie: Pretty well, we had a wonderful Halloween. It will take awhile for fellas to catch on that we have men's fashions too. And, the resort wear isn't going anywhere right now. But then it is 65 outside today?

It was space we weren't utilizing.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: You have moved so many things around, and I...

barbieoldnewgreenredo

...will be looking forward to being in Chicago as my permanent home.

Vickie: When will your condo be completed.

BMR: Not until the new year, I'm staying with old friends for the holidays. Hopefully I can move in after New Years.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

BMR: I will leave now---but, I have to come back and try some shoes on...I love the new rack.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

...you just continue to have such great fashions, ...

barbieoldnewgreenredo

...so many choices...

barbieoldnewgreenredo

...and every season, Vickie you find new things to sell.

barbieoldnewgreenredo

Vickie: We have some great sources...and I've picked up a few design houses for clothes used in fashion shows. Worn once and cleaned and then they land here.
