May 12th, 2024. Happy Mother's Day to All Moms!
May your day be filled with love, joy, and happiness!
Have a beautiful day!
And, for those of us whose mothers are in heaven.
Happy Mother’s Day To all the mom’s in Heaven.
Here is a poem I found & shared with you last year, that I thought
would be beautiful to continue to share this year.
If roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my mother’s arms
And tell her they are from me.
Tell her that I love her & miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her check
And hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
-Kirsten Preus-
Forever missed
FYI: Still making the Christmas Gala's! heehee!

Happy Halloween, Y'all!! Sweet Treats!!
I must tell you this story of what happened to me while I was trying to create some fashion dresses to go with the theme of the Dawn convention this year. Shake, Rattle & Roll. Well, after had completed the 1950s waitress dresses for Nancy, I wanted to create my poodle & cat dresses to take to the convention. I had downloaded a new poodle & cat silhouette for my Cameo cutter. I did not have any more black velvet fabric sheets that I had when I created the poodles for the “Oh la la” dress set in 2016. So, I purchased other velvet sheets from another vendor. I had no clue that this replacement velvet would not work. I tried and tried using all sorts of cutting options. No go… it was very disappointing.
Well, while I was downloading other imagines, this adorable imagine popped up in my searches & it read “Don’t make me get out my pins!” Being so frustrated and not being able to produce what I wanted; this imagine just brought a big smile to my face. (I was so ME!) I laughed & smiled! So, I purchased the imagine so I could keep it on my desktop to bring a smile to my face. LOL!!
Days had gone by. I was still working on trying to get these poodles & cats cut with my machine. Still no luck. It was hard for me to let go, and move on. I looked up, and saw that cute little imagine on my desktop, saying “Don’t make me get out my pins!” That is when I hit me, my creative mind was clicking away & before you knew it “Don’t make me get out my pins,” was created. I even had the local T-Shirt shop make me a couple of t-shirts with those words & imagine on it.
I made 15 costume dress sets and I sold them at the Dawn convention in Vegas. While I was there, I did create a waiting list for those that wanted it too. I am currently working on a couple of dozen sets & I hope to have some completed by next weekend (Nov. 4th-5th). If you would like one too, send me an email at: janetsdolls@janetsdolls.com & I will add your name to the waiting list. I will try & send out a Newsletter next weekend to.
More information about the "Pins & Stitches"
costume dress set go to the "Fashion Avenue Boutique" page.
Have a beautiful fall week!
Stay safe & warm!
Thank you all so much for your kindness & support.
Without you, there would be no me! Love always, Janet xxxx

PS. The USPS had a postal rate increase in July 2023. I have not made any adjustments to the postal rates both domestically or internationally yet. I hope to get the adjustments made soon & I will post them here. They also changed the name of USPS 1st class packages to USPS Ground Advantage.

October 21st, 2023. Happy Saturday, Y’all!
WOW! What a fabulous time we all had at this year’s
Shake Rattle & Roll Dawn Convention in Las Vegas!
Mike & I are still recuperating from the travel. heehee! It was AMAZING and I scored big time too! I cannot wait to share some of my goodies & winnings with you. Thank you so much to all who participated, & donated to this awesome event. And a huge thank you to Nancy Collins (Our Hostess with the Mostess) and to all her wonderful helpers who made our event so fun & special.
The Dawn conventions is the most fabulous time for me. I LOVE seeing everyone, & spending chit chat time with them. It is so much fun, not to mention all the planned events, Friday night shopping sale tables, games, prize tables, raffles, goody bags, convention dolls, mini’s & dresses, and contests. FOODS & FUN, and so much more!!!
I also released my fashion costume set, “Pins & Stitches” at the convention. I only had 15 sets to sell at the convention. Please don't worry more are being made.
Hope to get photos taken of my gifts & prizes and have them uploaded here to the website along with a photo of "Pins & Stitches."
My emails have gotten away from me too, and I have been trying to catch up. I apologies for the long delay. Thank you so much for hanging in there with me.
Have a great weekend!! Love always, Janet xx
PS. I'll have photos uploaded to this page.
My seating/placement at the convention. Check out my pink Cadillac filled with old fashion candies, cat glasses, 45 LP record placements, & coasters, note papers, a chocolate guitar. Coffee mug (my favorite). I love receiving convention mugs, they really make my every morning even more special! Oh and check out the convention centerpiece dolls. (I actually won the one at our table. Boy, I was so stoked! I couldn't believe it!!) More pics to come...
My Friday night sales purchases! Nice! Right?
Here is my first raffle winning of the day. Shirley Temple
created by Angela Singleton and donated by Aida Palazola.
I was over the moon with this winning! First, shocked they called my name as the winner, and it being a Shirley Temple Dawn doll. She could have been a Pippa doll, but I didn't open the display up to find out yet. She goes perfectly with my other Shirley Temple memorabilia's. Awesome!!! Right? :)
The photo to your left has the offical Dawn Doll Convention created & donated by Helen Hamberg. This dress set is gorgeous! I love the colors, and I believe Nancy had the material made in tiny little records. It also comes with socks & shoes & a record purse. Adorable!
The adorable coffee mug was donated by Trish Freeland. Next up we have the offical convention doll "Kiss my Grits!"Angie starring as "Flo" the character from Me's Diner. This TV sitcom ran from 1976 to 1985. The photo to the right is the box of the box. Creative Team. Angela Singleton: Wig Maker, Dawny Wambsgans: Cat-Eye Eyeglasses. Janet Caudle: Waitress Uniform. Mary S: Custome "Flo" Face Paint. Nancy Collins (Hostess with the Mostess) Concept & Box design. Limited Edition of 53.
Here's Longlocks dressed in a replica of the convention logo. Nancy had these made from a beautiful lady in Russia and she passed them out to a few people as "thank you" gift's. She's adorable. Yes, Nancy & Longlocks too. Now look straight back in the photo and thats the offical Las Vegas "Shake Rattle & Roll" mini created and donated by Vicki Ewalt! I had a panic attack this moring when I thought I had lost it. Sheesh, that was a close one!
Okay, are you ready for my Grand Prize Raffle winning! Let us just say your odds of winning one of the (3) Grand Prizes is slim. Every attendee is given (3) blue raffle tickets, and you can place them in any of the (3) grand prize boxes. I placed one ticket in each of the boxes. When they called my name, I was totally shocked! It was like one in a million to me.
As you can see by the photos this was created by DH Designs David Hodge with Karen Boobyer.
It is Elizabeth Taylor in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” She is just STUNNING!
Thank you DH & Karen B!
Speaking of stunning!
