Leslie, Iām so sorry to hear you are having medical troubles. Irelyn certainly takes a back seat to that. We will all be looking forward to seeing her whenever you are well and ready to finish her up. Recover quickly. hugs and prayers, Helen.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well. Best of luck with all your treatment. Like Helen said, after you feel better, show us your Irelyn even if the contest is over.

Thank you ladies. Iām trying to atleast get the painting part done figured maybe I can bring the head with me to my appointments an root while Iām waiting. I wanna finish it so bad. Iām really gonna try to be done before May. This kit is kinda growing on me. I popped some eyes in last night just to see. I think heās gonna be cute. Mine will be most likely a boy as like all my babies canāt seem to make a girl lol
@lisalampe, you can easily take that baby with you to finish rooting and assemble at your daughterās house if you donāt finish!

Oh my! I finished painting my little monkey and put it together just to see what body Iāll use and I couldnāt help myself; I put an outfit on it and now I LOVE it. ( Iām calling it an it, because the gender will be a surpriseā¦lol. ) I will start the hair tomorrow. This baby definitely grew on me.

Ok ladies, I didnāt get in on the challenge but I am sooooooo excited to see what each one of you do with this kit. Shes not my favorite by any means so to see her done differently by all that have taken the challenge is going to be amazing. I canāt wait~

Soā¦when the challenge is over, is there going to be a glut of little Irelyns on the market?

Jeanhai, I suppose there will be a few. Iām not in a hurry to put mine out for sale because I have several others to sell first. But it might be good to seek lots of different venues to sell to avoid a bunch on ebay at once. So we should explore Etsy, reborns.com, etc. and not just concentrate all the Irelyns on Ebay immediately following the challenge. Do you agree ladies? Interesting question thoughā¦ Deserves some thought.
Hmmmā¦it might bring less money if too many Irelyns are in one spot like ebay auctions. Less bidders per doll, perhaps. Either that or it will start an Irelyn craze and sheāll become the hottest thing since Cabbage Patch Kids.
