Hello everyone! I hope you had a great start of the year. Let's look forward to a better year, shall we? :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Before the 2013 ends, I wanted to do something for Alice. She is my first and favorite doll, but she is the least customized of my three. Looking at her face-up, she looks like she'll need a new one soon - but I'm not yet ready to change her face. So one thing I can change for now is her eyelashes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When Alice's original eyelashes started to fall off, I decided to try to replace her old lashes using human false eyelashes. After finding a pretty and cheap pair of falsies at a local department store, I decided to install them by cutting the lashes into small pieces and glue them in them one by one. This trial resulted in a very amateur output.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's a photo my first attempt to put on eyelashes on her:</div>

The lashes were nice and thick. It was too long as expected, considering they are human eyelashes. They also looked pretty, but didn't look nice on her as my application was extremely shoddy. Aside from the odd positioning, I also managed to dab some glue on the lower half of the lashes which made them hard and straight. Alice looked elf-ish with them too, which was not her 'look'. But mostly, I was unhappy with it since the lashes cast a shadow on her eyes and made her look extra sleepy. I managed to tolerate this for a few months, until I found the right lashes to replace them. </div>

Materials (from L to R): gum eraser (for mild head clean-ups), small flat paintbrush (to apply glue), tweezers, stick eraser (for mild cleaning of tiny face spaces), white glue (water soluble), Tamiya gloss, human eyelashes, and scissors). Not shown are some tissue and some cotton buds (q-tips for some of you).</div>

I got these pretty eyelashes from a local Daiso (Japanese store) for 88 pesos each (about $2). I bought this pair because the fibers are very fine and are soft. They feel like real human eyelashes.</div>

These lashes also has a transparent base. This makes them look extra natural for humans, but doesn't do much for dolls. <br />

<br />
On to the application!<br />
<br />
To remove the existing eyelashes, I softened the glue of the by dabbing them with a wet cotton bud. Let it soak for a while then gently pull the lashes off. It may take a few wipes to soften the glue so be patient! Once the lashes are off, clean the remaining glue residue with a wet cotton bud.<br />
<br />
Please note that it is possible to damage the gloss on the eyes. If ever you did, you can touch it up with Tamiya gloss. Just let the area dry first then apply the gloss. Use with caution!<br />
<br />
Measure the lashes to see how much you'll need. Alice's eye only needed 2/3 of one eyelash, so the left-over went to Elie. I used the part of the falsies with the longer fibers on Alice.<br />
<br />

<br />
Apply a small amount of glue on the eye line using your brush. Only use small amounts to prevent clumps of dry glue on the eyes. Using your tweezers, gently place the eyelash on. If you want shorter lashes, you can 'push in' the lashes while installing them. Once you're happy with the position, let it dry. You can also add a bit more glue on once the first layer of glue dries.<br />

I opted to keep most of the length of the eyelashes since they look nice and not overly-dramatic.<br />

I love how easy it is to share photos with it! My IG username is @madznievera. Follow me!<br />
<br />
And now that I have an app that enables me to do quick photo uploads, I'll be doing a semi-regular Instagram photodump here. Please excuse the current layout, I haven't configured my IG with my Flickr yet so I have to use IG's embed code for now.<br />

<br />
Manika Manila recently held our Monito Manika Christmas Party at Casa Patdes. It was Elie's first proper doll meet, so she got very excited to meet other kids.<br />

<br />
There were a lot of Tinies at the party (for Christmas is for children, lol). Elie was a bit shy around the other children though.<br />

My crew with Kyra's (Devolvedarling) Kouta. I was checking if a YoSD would look nice with my current crew. So far, I can say that I like Kouta's size. <strike>And he looks cute as Elie's big brother hoho.</strike><br />
<br />
Yes, Elie can't stop doing the peace sign.<br />
<br />

<br />
One of the best parts of our Christmas party is the dolly exchange gift! This year, Allebirthe's Champorada got Alice, Arvie's (4everinbluejeans) Maggie got Axis, then Jhul's (Yldenfrei) Ave got Elie. Thank you everyone for your gifts! We love them. <3<br />
<br />
I forgot to post a photo of my dolls with the ones they got for the exchange gift. :))<br />
<br />
Thank you Manika Manila mods for organizing another fun Monito Manika party!<br />
<br />

<b>Random Elie Pics</b><br />
<br />
Elie is my constant companion nowadays. Since she's small, she can easily sneak in my bag to go to the office with me. I don't mind though, I love having her with me all the time.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/hkyloBSs0b/embed/" width="612"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
She goes to the park sometimes to get some fresh air.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/hp2k5MSs7k/embed/" width="612"></iframe>
<br />
She also comes with me when we visit some friends. Here, she politely asked me if she could try swimming in the big pool. It was a no unfortunately.<br />
<br />
I also changed her eyes from 14mm glass eyes to 12mm. I wasn't very fond of the 12mm ones, but I'm starting to like them now. Her new glass eyes are from Alice's Collections.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/h7oXMgys3c/embed/" width="612"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
She also went to other parties where she meets new friends, like Snow Miku here.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/iFchE4Ss91/embed/" width="612"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
She also got to hang out with her friend Cleo at the same party. Cleo is my friend's Hujoo Baby Suve.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/iC3Buiysx-/embed/" width="612"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
I also recently celebrated my 25th cake day! I always have a doll with me when I celebrate my birthday (Alice on my 23rd, Axis on my 24th). My family and I went to Yakimix, a popular buffet restaurant here in Metro Manila.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Bonus!</b><br />

Hello giant Cheese-kun!<br />
<br />
<iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/h7XzBUSs0j/embed/" width="612"></iframe><br />
<br />
Cheese-kun is the Pizza Hut mascot in Japan. He is also a character from the popular anime Code Geass. I was commissioned by a friend to make one for her cousin, who is a huge Code Geass fan. I hope her cousin likes it! <3<br />

Last November 2, I brought Elie along for a quick trip to Antipolo with my family. It was her first out of town trip! She enjoyed roaming around the shrubbery and climbing 'giant' roots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She fell from a tree root once (Elie: <i>But I didn't cry!</i>). Good thing her bear suit was thick enough to cushion her fall.</div>

In case you're wondering, I made her bear suit the night before Halloween. It took me three hours to figure out the pattern and sew it. Some parts still need some tweaks, but I'm glad I was able to pull it off in a short time.</div>

Fluffy cheeks! *pinches gently* I still can't get over how cute she is. :3 And I really love her size. She's so small, she can fit in all of my bags - which means she gets to come along everywhere (Elie: <i>Adventure!</i>).</div>

Thousands are feared to be dead. Those who survived lost their homes and belongings. At the moment, they are now struggling to survive the aftermath of the storm.<div>

<div>
I am lucky and extremely grateful that the storm did not hit the area I live in. This is why I am trying to donate as much as I can to help those in need.</div>

<br /><b>A DOLL RAFFLE FOR THE VICTIMS OF TYPHOON YOLANDA</b></blockquote>
<div>
<br />Typhoon Yolanda, <a href="http://ph.news.yahoo.com/yolanda--makes-world-record-043012023.html">the world’s strongest tropical cyclone to ever hit land</a>, made landfall in the Philippines early last Friday, November 8 2013. The super typhoon with the international name Haiyan has left <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/27-devastating-images-from-typhoon-haiyans-destruction">an unspeakable amount of devastation</a> in its wake. The most recent news from the Department of Social Welfare and Development estimates a total of <a href="http://www.rappler.com/move-ph/issues/disasters/typhoon-yolanda/43364-dswd-million-families-affected">9.5 million people affected by the typhoon</a>, either by loss of property, livelihood, or loved ones, a number of <a href="http://www.rappler.com/nation/43182-poverty-yolanda">the country’s poorest provinces</a> ravaged directly by the typhoon.<br /><br />My name is <a href="http://patdes.tumblr.com/post/2567444139">Trisha Descallar</a>, and I am a BJD owner and enthusiast based in Manila, Philippines. My part of the country was not too terribly affected by the typhoon, but I am still, nonetheless, affected by the plight of my countrymen in Eastern Visayas.<br /><br />In 2011, <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Latest-News-Wires/2011/1220/Typhoon-Sendong-Did-illegal-logging-cause-flash-flooding-in-Philippines">Typhoon Sendong hit my country, dumping one month’s worth of rain in just one night on Northern Mindanao</a>.

By a while meaning 9 months. Nine freaking months. To be honest, I kinda forgot that this post is still a draft buried under 20+ posts. This has been a draft for too long that I already acquired a new wig from Licht, and I have one on the way from Leeke. Aside from those, I also intend to get two more from Crobidoll, hopefully by December. Yes, I am a wig hoarder.<br />

Where to Buy: <a href="http://crobidolls.com/shop/step1.php?number=1163&b_code=B20080525084138&c_code=C20080525084214" target="_blank">Here</a><br />
<br />
As much as I loved Axis' fur wig (<a href="http://dear-resin.blogspot.com/2013/02/dear-resin-bjd-wig-review-ii.html" target="_blank">shown here</a>), I still wanted him to have a fiber wig. Fiber wigs are easier to maintain, and does not need much regular styling. This wig was my first choice for him among all the pretty wigs from Crobidoll. I imagined a clean-cut look for him in this wig, and when he finally put it on, he looked very... K-Pop. Hahaha. It's not a bad thing, I just didn't expect that look. Oh well, I love it!<br />

Pros:<br />* Looks exactly like the company photos<br />* Easy to maintain and tends to keep its original styling even after playing with the fibers.<br />* Fits really well after a bit of modification (see Cons)<br />* Looks very natural in photos, even when photographed with flash.<br /><br /><br />Cons: <br />* The wig is size is 9-10, but was a bit tight on Axis. I had to undo a few stitches on the wig cap to make it fit his head. Its a really minor issue, but should be noted here.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Verdict:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am very happy with this wig! I liked it so much on him that I couldn't let him wear his fur wig again. Axis has been using this wig for months now, but it still doesn't show much wear except for a few stray fibers on top of the wig. The style of the wig also remained the same as it was when I got it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This wig is the reason why I am a big fan of fiber wigs from Crobidoll. :)</div>

This wig is my 'grail' wig for Alice. It took me a while to get this specific style. The first time I was about to buy it, it was out of stock so I bought Axis' wig instead. The second time, we accidentally got the wrong wig (our fault). The third time, it was out of stock. Again. I finally got this one when my friend ordered a doll from Crobi last year and allowed me to piggyback on her order.<br />

<br /><br />Pros:<br />* Looks exactly like the company photos<br />* Easy to maintain. Does not tangle even after styling<br />* Curls are firm and bounces back to its original styling. <br />* Looks very natural in photos, even when photographed with flash.<br /><br /><br />Cons:<br />* Alice usually wears 9-10 sized wigs. While this one is under the same size category, it is a bit loose on her. She needs a wig cap to be able to wear this snugly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Verdict:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I. LOVE. IT. Seriously. Like Axis, Alice has been wearing this for almost a year. And even though its over-used, it is still in great shape! It looks a bit frizzy at times, but it still doesn't tangle. I can comb it with a hair doctor and make it look fluffy, then easily turn it back to pretty curly clumps with my fingers. Its really fun to style and I don't worry about ruining it. Overall, this wig is a great buy! I am thinking of getting another wig in this exact same style as a reserve in case I manage to murder the wig (which I doubt will happen).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My plan is to give her a natural face-up but with very pink cheeks since I love how fluffy they are. </div>

The blush is a mix of red, white and flesh pastels. Looks a lot like real human make-up on this photo. </div>

Initial blushing. I used the same pastel mix on her cheeks, lips and eyes.</div>

Trying to draw eyebrows (which did not show in this photo). I used a mix of brown, white, and flesh soft pastels for the shading, then added watercolor pencil lines later on. As usual, this took some time since its hard to make them look even.</div>

Spraying~ I think she was at around 7+ MSC layers on this photo. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Almost done! I kept the eyeliner really simple since she's just a little girl. I also added a lot of blushing on her cheeks, which extended all the way up to the sides of her eyes. I also added a small amount of yellow eyeshadow since she will have golden eyes in the future. She also has a bit of brown line on her lower eyelids to emphasize her eyes.</div>

After a few more MSC layers, she's almost done! I added gloss on her lips and her eyes.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I chose not to draw lower lashes on her since I didn't want to risk ruining the face-up (since I'm not really that good). But I think the brown eyeliner made up for the lack of lower lashes.</div>

A few days later, we were able to borrow a temporary wig for her until her own wig from Leeke arrives. But to be honest, I already love this wig on her. I'm now planning to get her one exactly like this one from Crobidoll in the near future.</div>

And here is a recent photo of Elie. She has now claimed my randoseru as her room and is currently moving her plushies and my Sylvanian Families set in. She has also decided that it will be fun to sneak in my office bag everyday so she can come with me because <i>"your office is fun and there's a lot of people."</i></div>

<br />
Aurelie, or Elie for short, is a Lati Yellow Sunny. Sunny is one of the molds I have always wanted! I love her big eyes, her pouty lips and her fluffy cheeks. Hee~ Makes me wanna pinch her, gently of course.<br />
<br />
I had Elie ordered direct from Latidoll last June 19, almost at the end of the order period that time. After almost 3 long months of waiting, Elie was marked as shipped by Lati last September 11, and finally arrived in the Philippines on September 16. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, my friend (who orders my dolls for me) was only able to pick her up at Customs on October 4.<br />
<br />
While waiting for her to come home, I was itching to just blurt out my frustrations about the wait time on my social media accounts, but I wanted her to be a 'surprise' to my BJD friends who knew that I've always wanted to have my own Lati (hello MM girls!). I even brought her along during a doll meet (the MK meet), but she stayed in my bag since she doesn't have a face-up yet.<br />
<br />
More babbling in this blog post. Now on with the box opening pictures!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the box is out! I think the box is too big for a little doll.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inside is her Certificate of Authenticity and an instructional booklet on restringing.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Elie is out! Aside from the Certificate and the booklet, the basic package includes the doll (of course), a pair of glass eyes, two pairs of extra hands, the peace hands and clapping hands (?), a face mask, extra strings, and two fluffy pillows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When Alice and Axis came home years ago, I was extremely unprepared. They didn't have anything! No clothes nor shoes. Axis didn't even have a wig. But his time, I was a bit prepared for Elie's homecoming. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The blouses, socks, and the two shoes in front are from Taobao, while the white mary janes are from Lati, which my friend bought from Dollism last July. The skirt is handmade, and the small jar on top contains glass candies for her. I also have a few left-over Lati dresses and crocheted hats from last year's MM Tiangge, which are now hers. We are now waiting for her own wig from a Leeke Group Order.</div>

And that's it! I only have a few photos since I decided to take a video of the whole box opening. I'm not sure if I'll ever post it since I'm a bit embarrassed with how tiny my voice sounded on video. Haha. Maybe one day I'll post it.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few more hours to go before this year's Manika Manila Tiangge! I'm very excited and nervous. Excited because this is one of the biggest MM events of the year and I'll be able to show off and sell the clothes I make, but at the same time, nervous because I feel like I'm not well-prepared. Gah, I only have a few more hours to finish all these clothes and work on my display. Haha. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

A few weeks ago, I went out to watch Pacific Rim with Axis. This was my first time to watch a movie with one of my resin kids.</div>

I still had a bit of time to burn after dinner, so I played a bit at the nearby Timezone. here's Axis watching me play Dance Maniax (my all time favorite dance machine!!!).</div>

The movie was AWESOME! The movie definitely ticked my anime fangirl side. My favorite Jaegers are Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha. The only thing that was iffy for me was that Greenbelt decided to dub the Japanese dialogue. >.> </div>

I didn't realize that its been over two weeks since I last posted anything. Life has been pretty busy but fun! I still don't have much time to sew, but I'm planning out my schedule for the next few weeks to accommodate that.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Manika Manila was invited to have a BJD exhibit at Oh No Manga Cosplay Camp 2. The event was held last July 7 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia.<br />

And that's it! It was a fun yet tiring day for everyone. We had a lot of con-goers asking about BJDs and how they can purchase them. It was nice to meet aspiring BJD owners! I loved talking to them. It was nice to hear that even though this hobby is expensive, people are willing to save up so they can buy their own doll in the future. :)</div>

I really wanted to redo the piggy back shot at the studio because of the better lighting. Unfortunately, I accidentally set my camera at a lower resolution so all of my shots have a lot of noise. >.> </div>

No ProblemOne of the first things I splurged on after getting Alice is a proper carrier. I always use public transport when I go around the metro, so a good carrier is a reasonable investment as a doll owner. Good thing I immediately found a local bag-maker accepts custom orders. Too bad they don't accept custom orders anymore.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/285142_132177960210089_8020034_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/285142_132177960210089_8020034_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">From years ago. XD No watermark yet.</span></div>
<br />
But now that I live in an area that's fairly close to where we usually hold meets, I no longer have the pressing need to always bring my dolls in a carrier. And to be honest, carriers are somewhat difficult to lug around. I tend to accidentally hit other people when I walk around with it. Its also difficult to find a hiding spot in our office locker area for the carrier when I bring a doll to work.<br />
<br />
So I decided to try something so dangerous that my previous overly-protective-BJD-mama self will freak out. I tried to bring my doll in a tote bag.<br />
<br />
Click read more to see my ~*technique*~! Its not exactly new, but it works for me. This may also be useful for doll owners (especially SD owners) who don't have their own carriers yet.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
You will need the following:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3180_zpseef47b30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3180_zpseef47b30.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Tote bag</li>
<li>Zippered hoodie</li>
<li>Thick doll pillow (the one I have is from Iplehouse)</li>
<li>Head protector (beanie/hats/bonnets/anything to cover their heads) </li>
<li>Facemask</li>
</ul>
<div>
First, make your doll wear a beanie/hat for head cushioning then place your facemask. This will protect your doll's head (beanie - head, facemask - face-up) from any possible bumps and whatnots. I used to do this before until I found this cute headgear. <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3174_zps2b9e488b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3174_zps2b9e488b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found this cute head protector by chance from a local seller. I wasn't sure at first if it'll fit my dolls, but luckily, it fits the head and the facemask perfectly! I am currently in the process of replicating this headgear for selling in the near future. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, lay out your hoodie on a flat surface and place your doll on it. Make sure that you can cover at least the head if you fold the hoodie on the doll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3182_zps59c0b65e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3182_zps59c0b65e.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Zip up that hoodie! You can see here the the zipper ends right below Alice's head. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Prop up the hood on your doll. This will protect the doll's head from sunlight. It also offers extra coverage and cushioning for the head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3185_zps50def8c3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3185_zps50def8c3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wrap the sleeves around the doll. This will keep your doll safely inside the hoodie. It also provides extra cushioning for the arms and torso.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3186_zpsac366986.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3186_zpsac366986.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wrap the other sleeve around and tuck the ends to secure the sleeves in its position. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fold the bottom of the hoodie to wrap it around the doll's legs. Now we're done wrapping her up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3188_zpsb55a5638.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3188_zpsb55a5638.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Place the thick pillow inside the tote bag. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3191_zpsdee715c5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3191_zpsdee715c5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now you're ready to let your doll sit inside! I opted not to tie the doll on the pillow since my tote bag is narrow and she won't be able move around in it much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3192_zps421c6e99.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3192_zps421c6e99.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And you're done! You can now bring your doll around while waiting for your proper carrier. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You even have a bit of extra space to put in light items like extra doll clothes or props.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3197_zps8a129237.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3197_zps8a129237.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This setup is also helpful if you are going through security where guards need to inspect your stuff. You can just lift up the hood and tell them its a doll. No need to fumble with zippers and straps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3195_zpsde76c9b4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/madznievera/No%20Carrier%20Travel%20Tip/IMG_3195_zpsde76c9b4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd like to note that this is just a temporary way to bring around your doll. I would still recommend to get a proper carrier or at least a nicely padded closed bag - especially when you have to travel far. Safety first!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

She had fun chilling on my work station while reading all the reports I'm working on.<br />
<br />
For the celebration part of her day, we opted to have a quiet evening at home with a few friends.<br />
