These aren't "Tree Change Dolls"; but, they are wonderful and also affordable!

Because the artist and creator of the fabulous "Tree Change" dolls was gracious enough to create video's so that anyone who wanted to give it a try would have an idea of how to go about the process of re-purposing "Bratz" dolls, artisans from around the world are now able to flood the market with wonderful hand-painted dolls providing moms and grandma's with options for the little girls in their lives so that they won't have to purchase the over-sexualized and, frankly demeaning to women, "Bratz" and "Monster High" dolls.

For many the original Tree Change Dolls are simply out of reach because of the cost and the limited supply. I have decided to keep mine affordable and make no real profit from the sale of my "Just K.I.D.S" dolls. I am so grateful that Sonja chose to share this craft with the world so that there are now so many options for so many kids. Tree Change Dolls are now selling for $260+ dollars a doll. For those who cannot afford them or who might want to gift 10 kids for the price of one, my "Just K.I.D.S" are the perfect alternative starting at just $24.99. I hope you feel that the artistry is of the same high quality.

In addition, over 50% from the sale of my Just K.I.D.S goes to an organization that helps rescue kids that are trapped in the sex trafficking industry and the other 50% simply covers my cost for supplies and packaging. Last year we sold 100 dolls and were able to give $1,250 to Grace Network. This year we hope to (at the very least) match that.

I am still getting photo's and emails from mom's who purchased a "Just K.I.D.S" doll last year, expressing how much their kids love my K.I.D.S. I hope you visit my shop and snatch up a bunch. You can always store them until the Holidays!

Here are a few photo's of the 2016 campaign.

Painted Patio Wall Transformation - Our New "Secret Garden"

Michael and I have discovered a Secret Garden every where we have lived since getting married in 2010. Whether it was the creek that ran behind our first apartment in Sacramento or the tiny little space of our 520 square foot, 1962 single-wide, mobile home in Rancho Cordova, California, we were always able to discover and create a unique sanctuary to call home. Even though, in years past, we did what we could to make our surroundings uniquely wonderful, we never had the room to go really crazy until now. Since moving to our new home in North Carolina in May, we have not only discovered a world of exotic creatures and plants outdoors, but we have also started taking full advantage of the additional space we now have available to add our own touch of whimsy to the new "Wood's Secret Garden". Our first major project was the Patio which joins the in-law quarters (where mom lives) to the kitchen entrance into the main house. We have received so many questions abou

The Project!

So, I had a huge jar of left over glass pebbles--you know the kind that you get at the craft store in those little net bags. I use the flawless ones to make my custom art pendants and rather than throw away the flawed ones, I kept collecting them in a large glass jar hoping someday I would come up with a brilliant idea. Well, here it is! It's a work in progress... Clip I first cut out pages from an old pocket Bible that was falling apart and missing pages. Clip I them spent a good part of a day, decoupaging them to a long section of the hallway wall. Clip Once the decoupage had dried; I began at the bottom of the wall, gluing one glass bead at a time, using (you guessed it) E6000. This process took at least 10 separate, 1 hour sessions. Once I glued about 5 or 6 rows, I used lengths of scotch tape to secure them to the wall and allowed the glue to dry over night before starting another section. Clip This took a really, really, l

Custom Doll Trunk with Doll and tons of clothes and accessories now available!

This took forever! After transforming the 24 inch Bratz Dolls into "Just K.I.D.S" as part of the campaign to help rescue kids trapped in the sex trafficking industry, I got the crazy idea to convert a vintage suitcase into a doll trunk. After making the inside compartments and decoupaging and hand painting the entire outside of the suitcase (both front and back) the set is now complete and up for auction on Ebay. Leave a comment if you want to bid on this amazing doll trunk. You even get to pick which doll you want to be included.
