Who's Coming to the Party (Photostory)

After the men leave, Camille and the girls take a little breather.  Nothing left to do but wait for the guests to arrive.

"So is Jacquelyn going to make it?"  (Grace)
"Yes, but she had some emergency to take care of first.  But she said she would definitely make it."  (Camille)

"Can I see your balloon?"  (Kourtney)
"No. It's mine. (Tinia)

"Well the guest of honor has just arrived."  (Grace)

"Hey guys.  We're here. "  (Kendra)

"Hi auntie.  The place looks beautiful."  (Kendra)
"Hello sugar.  I'm glad you like it. You look radiant."  (Camille)
"Thanks."  (Kendra) 

"Hey cuz."  (Kendra)
"Hey.  So what do you think?  Do you like it?"  (Grace)
"I love it."  (Kendra)

"Nikki, it's been so long since I've seen you and my nephew.  Where have you guys been hiding?"  (Camille)
"We're not hiding.  We're sorry we haven't stopped by lately.  We will make sure to rectify that soon."  (Nikki)
"Great.  I miss you guys."  (Camille)

Nikki finds a seat and Kendra finds her way to the food table.  She's feeling a little peckish.

"Oh auntie, this is some spread."  (Kendra)
"Well I included a few of your favorites."  (Camille) 

"Hello, hello.  I hear there's a party happening here today."  (Racquelle, jokingly)
"Hello come on in.  You are definitely in the right place."  (Camille)

"Oooh, baby."  (Tinia)

Racquelle and her mom come in, speak to everyone, then find a seat.  

Next up are India, the hairdresser, and Valerie, who also works at the hair salon.

Of course Vanessa is attending.  Little Alicia is there, too.  Are those pink converses she's wearing?    

Another set of twins will be joining the festivities.  Chandra and Tanisha rode in together.  Their mom and sister are in another car.

There they are.  Jackie and Robin and the other Courtney.  She's wearing an outfit from the Asian Shelley doll.  They spot the twins in the corner and join them.

"Mom, look at you, looking all springy.  What's up with that hat?"  (Tanisha)
"Girl, leave my hat alone."  (Jackie)

These two didn't come together.  They just happen to be walking in together.  There's Jordan (Jackie's sister-in-law) and Tina, the town psychiatrist.

Everyone has found a seat and they are chit chatting among themselves.

 
Kendra has made her way to the comfy rocking chair.  Looks like Camille is about to get things started. We will check in on them a little later.

And you guys thought the space was too big.  I thought it was a little small.  Any more guests, and they would have been seated in the  hall.   So I decided to keep both the girls named Courtney, but one is now spelled with a K.  The baby girl finally got a name.  It's Tinia, which is the name of one of my little cousins.

Next post will feature an overview of my new (not yet painted) Gloria desk.  Here's a peek at the fabulous copy machine that came with it.

  2. It is funny because I thought that this room was so big, too :)
    I love the dresses, especially Kendra's, Nikki's and those of the little girls: Courtney, Tinia, Alicia... Where are they from?
    I love Tinia's name!

    1. Rosemary Hill - You aren't the only one who thought the room was big. Courtney is part of an older Grace and Courney doll set. The new tennis one has a Courtney that looks very similar to this one. Alicia is from the old Barbie and Kelly Strollin fun set. Tinia is able to wave, just like Alicia, but I can't remember which set she is from. I may have picked her up at the local doll show.

  3. The room did seem a bit big until all the guests arrived. But all the guests are seated and comfortable, so it's just the right size. And I have to say...Vanessa, you look mahvelous! LOL :-)

    1. Cindi - Oh thanks! I was torn between a couple of outfits. Now that I'm getting out more, I had to put a few new outfits in my closet. Yes, the room size worked out perfectly.

    The baby shower setup is perfection! Everyone is dressed beautifully and I'm especially loving what "you" are wearing. ;) It's nice to see a lot of the ladies again, especially Tina, Jordan, India and Robin. Also, I'm with Camille...I need a Nikki and Darius fix. Come to think of it...I need a Halle and Diego fix!

    Oh, guess what? I went ahead and ordered articulate Model #17, who will ship 6/13. After reading some of the flickr comments, I realized he's going to sell out FAST and my money stays funny so I thought, better get him now. If he's fully articulate then I will buy the blonde end of the month or next month. :So, thanks again for posting about it. With all the flickr changes, I don't visit it as much...gives me a headache.

    Can't wait 'til the next episode....

    1. Tracy - No, not a duplicate message. Thanks. Nikki and Darius went out to dinner, and I never captured the pictures. I don't know why, but every time those two go to dinner, something happens and I don't get to show it. I will get those two together again. Halle almost made the baby shower. She may still make it. You have a way of influencing me to show characters.

      I'm happy you got the new doll. I'm anxious to know what his legs are like. By the way, when you go to flickr, just select Recent Photos under Contacts and Recent Activity under You. It's just like it was before. I only look at that home page occasionally.

  10. The perfect party venue! Everything and everyone looks awesome. Yeah, Tinia, don't give up your balloon and scream if she try to take it! People were always trying to get me to "share" when I was a kid - pffft! I can sorta do it now, but just barely.

    I see the switch on the copier. Does it light up inside? That would be neat.

    1. Muff - Thanks. Tinia was ready to fight for her balloon. Sounds like you were a little pistol when you were younger. Sorry no light on the copier.

  14. Shower is off to a great start! I love all the outfits. I have three of those office sets and I just painted them so hopefully I'll be able to use them in a story soon. The copier looks even better when it is not pink.

    1. limbe dolls - Thanks. I was thinking I needed 3 more of these desks to make a real office. Guess you were thinking the same thing. Can't wait to see how you painted your. I have two different color schemes in mind.

  16. Excellent job. Kendra's body positioning in the last shot is on point. I have not photos from my baby shower and I could have sworn pictures were taken. I know I didn't feel good so maybe I shunned the cameras. My bad.

    1. Kenya - Thanks. She is happy they chose a rocking chair for her. Otherwise she probably would have been uncomfortable the whole time. Kendra is so happy to be out of the house, so I'm sure she will have a good time.

    1. Grandmommy - Yes, I'm sure there will be a few cheesy shower games. At the last baby shower I attended, I won a game because I had the most requested items in my purse. The prize was a $20 Target gift card. Yay me.
