What’s the story behind this game?
When I was a kid, whenever it was playtime with dolls, we would lay out all our dolls and their clothing items. Then we would “do a pick.”
That’s where you take turns picking which doll or dolls you’ll play with and which outfits or accessories you’ll get to play with. Your playtime companion would take a turn picking her dolls, clothes, and accessories too.
My #DoApick shorts on My YouTube Channel are a blast from the past! They let you choose from retro dolls and their clothing items and/or accessories, while imagining a fun playtime adventure from a bygone era.
Join the fun! Leave your “pick” in the comments!
Instead of the usual plug for one of my online courses or a product I’m selling, today I want to thank everyone who has used the Donation Button on my website to help fund my website. Your donations are an inspiration, and I’m deeply grateful for your generosity.
As it says in the video, these donations help me pay for the digital storage that’s needed for all the free doll clothes sewing patterns I give you from week to week.
