Paper Minis Web Site

Type: Blog post, 0 comments

This is a great resource for making accessories for our dolls! When you subscribe to her newsletter, Ann Vanture sends you an email link to her downloadable projects. There are all sorts of fun things. She makes them available in various sizes for miniature doll houses and dolls. The one that is available for 18" dolls is the 1:3 size.   The current offer is a Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes book that can be made for our girls. There are directions for downloading and how to put them together. Read more » about Paper Minis Web Site

New to Dollation! And need help.

Type: Blog post, 1 comment

I've had a good time looking around Dollation and enjoying everyone's pictures. 

I've tried to add my collection and the page will not accept my product. I own a GOTZ doll and it says it's not on the list of products. Does that mean it's not on "my" list and if so how do I add it. It is on the list in "By Companies". 

I would like to use this feature is someone could help me out.

Thanks so much! Read more » about New to Dollation! And need help.

I have a lot of dolls!

Type: Blog post, 3 comments

I am having a wonderful time adding my dolls to Dollation! When I should be working on the "mechanics" of making the website better (like making those pesky 500 Internal Server Errors go away [Edited to add, they should be gone, yay!]), instead I'm uploading new pictures of my favorite dolls and researching the brands and companies behind them to share in the Dollipedia. Dolls are fun! Sharing dolls is even more fun! Read more » about I have a lot of dolls!
