Masha received a gorgeous, fully articulated doll with an anime-style face for her birthday. I put a new wig on her and dressed her in a Bonnie dress.

Today is Masha’s birthday! She is already 10 years old! I still can’t believe it! We plan to celebrate this date in style. First with the neighbors, then with her school friends, then with her grandparents and our family friends.

Here’s how I decorated the school entrance, podium, and hall with an autumn theme. A lot of paper cuttings had to be made. It’s good that I have an assistant like Cricut.

I couldn’t resist walking past a pile of Barbie dolls at the secondhand store again. They were in good condition and really didn’t want to stay naked in the dust among the old toys. I bought them, washed them, and dressed them. A couple of dolls are repeated from the ones I already have. And I also found a little baby doll and a pink-haired Mattel fairy.

Today I accidentally came across wonderful Star Wars Barbie dolls in a toy store—it’s Rey and a Stormtrooper. They were being sold at a significant discount, and I couldn’t resist… The looks are wonderfully detailed, from the hairstyle and makeup to the shoes! And the boxes are simply works of art! I haven’t even printed them yet, which is very unusual of me. And also, I’ve been eyeing the Barbie “I love you” in a beautiful heart-patterned dress for a long time, and today I bought her too! Hooray!
