Outdoor pictures - Paola Reina dolls

My original plan was to take summer pictures of my newest Barbie dolls, when we went annywhere I took the dolls with me, but I never got around to take tghe pictures. 

Last week my boyfriend and I visited my parents because he had to help them move some outlets in their living room. I thought this was a great oppotunity, to take some outdoor pictures in my parents wonderfull garden. It would seem most obvious to bring my Barbie dolls, but I was getting exhausted with those dolls, so I decided to bring my Paola Reina dolls instead. I took the opportunity to take some outdoor pictures of my Paola Reina dolls, in my parents wonderfull garden. 

Lisa wanted to explore right away, she found a beautiful hydragia, that were changing colors

Lias best friend Sara went looking for her, she wanted to make she she had not gotten lost.

Sara took her plushie and went out to explore on her own. 

Amalia looked around to find some flowers that would match her dress.

A portrait of Amalia.

My favorite photo of Amalia, the light was just right. 

Sara liked the vegetable garden, she found a very pretty pea blossom

My favorite photo of Nina, she found some cute white flowers growing in the lawn. 

Nina wanted to spend some time with her best friend Amalie, they found a nice rock to sit on. 

Nina couldent' find any red flowers, but she found this beautiful red berry on a rose bush. 

Lisa was drawn to the smell of the thyme, and she loved the small purple flowers. 

Lisa saw a bee on a very weird looking flower, she was quite facinated. 

Lisa found another flower with a wonderfull smell, Amalia allso really liked the lavender, beacause of its purple color. 

Sara found a pink rose, that she fell completely in love with.

Amalie remembered how her sister really liked this euonymus, last time they visited the garden. 

Nina joined her best friend, for the last photo of the day. 

I am extremely happy with these picture, I enjoyed spending siome much needed quality time with my adorable Paola Reina dolls. 

Surprizamals

Not that long ago I talked about kitty in my pocket, and I recently got a shelf up for my figures, but they are not the only surprise toys I am into lately. Surprizamals are verry small, and super cute plush animals who are hidden away in a round ball. I thought I would continue to enjoy these after the surprise was over, because they are a good size to be plushies for dolls. 

I got my first surprizamals on my birthday in march where I was in a couple of toystores to buy myself some birthday gifts. I found surprizamals in Toys R Us, I was very surprised  and exited to find them, since I thought they were too awsome to make their way to Denmark.

They had both season 1 and 2, thankfully it is easy to see the difference since the balls are different colors, there is allso sticker on them with the plushies you can get and it says which season it is. I decided to get 3 surprizamals from season 1, here is the season 1 checklist. 

Here are the 3 plushies I got. 

The first is Maddie the monkey, who I think look more like a hippo, especially because I have a plushie that is a light purple hippopo. Not that this plushie is actually light purple as seen on the checklist, the color is more like grey with a purple tint to it.

The next one is Tammy the tiger, she could use a few more stripes but otherwise looks great. 

The last is Jinx the cat, who on the checklist looks like she is a eggplant purple color, but in real life she is the same color as Maddie. This was a dissapointment since I love cats and the color purple, so I realy wanted Jinx. I still like her, she is very cute, but she dosen't look as awsome in real life as she does on the checklist.

I wonder if any other of the animals have toned down colors in real life, or if it is just the purple once. And I wonder if there is a jinx out there with the correct purple color. 

I was still happy with these small plushies though, and I really liked how they looked with my Paola Reina dolls, so I recently decided to buy two more from season 1. In the store I discovered that you can see the color of the plushie you are gonna get, if you look though the two holes at the bottom and top of the ball. It is a nice way to avoid doubles or finding the exact one you are looking for, but it allso ruins the surprise, so I dont really know how I feel about it. This time around I asked my boyfriend to pick out two for me, and check that the color he could see were not white or purpleish grey. That way I avoided doubles while maintaining the surprise, but the more plushies I get, the harder will it be. 

When I checked out with my surprizamals, the lady at the counter was so nice to give me a poster with season 1 and 2 on it. In season 2 I really want to get the purple elefant and red crab, but I like all the otehrs as well. 

I opened the first ball a little, and saw a bit of brown and tan, so it is either the lion or the giraff.

It's the giraff yey! giraffes are one of my boyfriends favorite animal. 

He is super cute, and I am very happy with him 

Here is the info sign that was hanging off his ear, I keep all of these, but I wont be calling the plushies by their given names, when theyn move in with my dolls. 

I opened the second ball a bit and saw some light blue, I think it is either the bulldog or the elephant.

It is skip the bulldog! I like that he is a bright color.

I must admit that I was hoping for the elephant, since I am not really a dog person, but my preference does not decide what my dolls enjoy, so he is a welcome addition to their plush family. 

My Paola Reina dolls love their new plushies, they are so cute together. I really think surprizamals are a great size to use as dol plushies, since they are so small. I have some upcomming pictures that wioll show how great the surprizamals look with my paola Reina dolls. 

some of the old plushies.

It is very important to me that things fit together, therefore I decided that my dolls will only use their new plushies (with a few exceptions), since the old once are a bit too big and bulky. Another reason for my decision is that I dont want to drown my dolls in plushies, and I don't want to hold back on buying surprizamals. 

So I am packing the old plushies away, which is quite diffifcult for me to do, since they are great plushies and a few of them is speciel to me. I wish I had somewhere else to put them, but for the moment I dont, and that saddens me a bit. 

It werent really my inetentions to end a post about cute plushies on a sad note, but it is something I really needed to talk about, and I am hopefull I will figure out what to do with the old plushies in the future.
