monster high dolls ~ ghoulia yelps

so do i look like the kind of old lady who'd buy monster high dolls at your yard sale? ~

yes i do ~

i'm starting to see original monster high dolls pop up here & there at garage sales :) ~

here's a freaky fusion version of ghoulia yelps ~

& in fact one day we saw a sign saying 'doll sale' that made me question whether or not i was dreaming ~

let's just say vampire villa is getting crowded ~

my birthday seems to have arrived a little early this time, so leading up to it i'll be posting much more like this ~

& you can always click monster high in the category list in the sidebar too for much more ~
