The "No-$$$-to-Spend-on-AG" blues

[doobiedots]

How do you deal with the "I've got no money to buy AG stuff" blues? I'm sure we've all experienced those times when we really want to buy something for our dollies, but face it, it's just not possible to do that all the time. Recently I went to the library and checked out some Molly books. It was fun to reminisce and read them again. What other things do you guys do?

The library is a great place to start. DD & I have checked out doll craft books, as well as the AG craft & cook books. Lots of ideas & fun!

I always have scissors, paper, glue, and markers. Why not make a basket? There are lotsa craft books out there that tell you how to do it!

Those are great ideas. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] And you've probably seen the recent thread about making doll food, another fun craft idea (Molly is looking pretty hungry anyway).

I'm in that blues right now, so I'm excessive about giving the dollies new hairdos or putting them other clothes on, I do picture-sessions a lot and luckely, my mom told me today, that she sent off some handmade doll-clothes on Friday, so they should arrive soon. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I give things away. I find it to be very therapeutic to go through my doll collection. I try clothes on and rearrange my dolls and their things just like I do every season with my own clothes. It is great to look at my collection with new eyes. Everything seems fresh and exciting again. When I am done, my collection is tidier and more appreciated. It also feels really good to find things to share with others.

I play dress up and hair salon. I also like creating things.

Where's that AG activities on a budget thread? *ninja*
