2:54 So cute set-up ❤ I love gingerbread houses ❤

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you :)

[@CherishedDollFriends]

I loved the little story about Sisters making Gingerbread houses. I always like to see all of the Molly dolls together. 😃 The beds look so cute to display the dolls. Thanks for the tip about the particle board. I just have Marie Grace and Cecile’s bed which doesn’t have a roof and I recently got Felicity’s bed. My kitty keeps trying to get into it so I think I will seat a couple of dolls on the bed. I just had Felicity standing in front. Thanks for all the great tips! Your kitties are adorable. ❤

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much! I'm glad the tip about the particle board could be useful! It's awesome that you have Cecile and Marie-Grace's bed :)

I love your collective doll vlogs! They are so fun to watch. I’m the exact same when it comes to gingerbread houses. I’ve never gotten a preassembled one, so I always have trouble getting it to stand up. They really give you the worst candy, too…I find I always need to buy more if I want it prettier. Love your idea of displaying the dolls on the reinforced canopy tops. I’m paranoid of loose limbs, so my dolls stand when not being used, but that’s a great display nonetheless.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you! Gingerbread houses are a royal pain to keep standing up--getting the preassembled ones was a game changer for me. I don't find that my dolls who sit are looser than the ones who stand (but even if they did get looser, I could restring them easily) :)

I was hoping you would post today, so this made my day have an amazing rest of your day and happy new years!🩷🩷🩷

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

I'm so glad this video made your day! Happy New Year to you too :)

[@Bebebrownlee000]

@AThousandSplendidDolls thanks so much 🩷

[@heidimj1380]

I loved your video today. As many viewers have said, it's always exciting to see that you've posted a new one! I get stuck in a rut not knowing how to go about organizing my collection, and simply observing both of you taking care of your own, your displays, etc., always gives me the boost of energy I need. The kitty cameos are hilarious too! (Are you cleaning your butt? 😂😂😂 That had me in stitches!) Lots of love, Heidi

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Aw, thank you! I'm glad my videos could help you out of your organizational rut :)

[@geminisabah]

Cats sleeping with the dollies is just magical!❤

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Totally!

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thanks! I love the cardinals on it :)

[@JanaJayX2d3y66st3ay6to5day]

Great video ❤ I love all your Dolls ❤ I love watching your videos. I learn so much about Dolls from your channel. You both are so inspiring. Thank you for sharing all your videos with us❤ I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and Blessed ❤

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Aw, thank you so much :) I hope you had a great holiday season too!

[@nettiezdolls6742]

Happy New Year! I love all the Mollys especially the flea market Molly. I also like how you set up all the beds under the windows. I’d like to do something like that but Yuri, my Maine Coon, would knock them over for sure. 😂 I would definitely like to see an updated complete collection of your AG dolls. The holiday season was weird this year for me, too. I think it’s because Thanksgiving was so late in 2024 that Christmas seemed to come too fast. Now it’s over and back to work again.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you! Doll beds were impossible for me to have on display for a long time, since my cat Andy liked to sleep on them, so I can relate to your problems with Yuri :)

[@katinabrandt6408]

Hope y’all have a wonderful New year 🎉I love the gingerbread house making every year I look forward to it ❤I understand about this year cause it was a rough one with my daughter cat having cancer and passing , hurricane Helene in the south here , loss of lives / homes etc 😢our house got damaged 😢, my husband had to be put on life support after a hernia operation but thankful is still here with us all getting better every day ❤thank you both once again for making me laugh and sharing your lives with us ❤

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you, and I hope your 2025 is better than 2024! I'm so sorry that so many awful things happened to you this year :( I'm glad to hear it's getting a bit better everyday.

[@nildajurado8423]

I love the idea of putting the cardboard over the top of Julie’s bed I will be doing that to my doll beds thank you so much ❤ for the idea ❤

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

I'm glad it could help you! If you use cardboard instead of particle board, make sure it's really thick stuff :)

[@paulanewhouse4252]

Shelly you are so funny. Thanks for making me smile by just being yourself. Happy New Year to both of you!

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too :)

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

Happy New Year, Colleen and Shelly! My son and daughter (who are about your ages) and I made a Barbie cookie house this year. It's somewhat mid century modern. Not a yearly tradition for us by any means. My daughter's birthday is December 18, so we made it after her birthday dinner. 💖 It was silly and fun to do.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Happy New Year to you too! It's so cute that you and your kids made a Barbie cookie house this year :)

[@JanaJayX2d3y66st3ay6to5day]

Thank you and happy holidays to you too!

[@lisbetsoda4874]

Dear Shelley and Colleen. My most sincere wishes to you both of a wonderful new year full of Dolly adventures. And good health. Colleen, You should look up "AGA stove" from tje UK. It will show you these hyper modern kitchen with a wooden stove. Wealthy British people swear by them in their kitchens for a variety of reasons. Kust thought of this when you showed the Queen's Treasure stove. You don't have to apologize for the juxtaposition. 😊

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much! I'll have to tell her about it :)

[@LittleOldCatLady-qm8mj]

Wishing you a very Happy and Blessed New Year. Love the tea set, it is very special and your Mother would be pleased that you are sharing the tea set at Christmas. I’m not sure if you shop through Temu. They have doll clothes for your dolls, shoes and accessories. They would be nice if you dress up your dolls for special occasions. The clothes are inexpensive. I have had no problems with the clothes I buy for my Barbie. There are different sellers with the same item at different prices, so if you see something put it in the shopping cart and look for a better price. I bought Christmas outfits. Amazon has same items but higher. Takes a few weeks to arrive. I love your cats. Male cats are finicky, at least mine are. Lol. I have one who sees things I don’t and freaks me out. Thank you for sharing your videos and time with us. We enjoy them.

[@AThousandSplendidDolls]

Thank you so much :) I've never shopped on Temu--I've heard too many horror stories of people's info getting stolen. I'm glad to hear that your experience with it has been better. Ha ha, my cats also see/hear things that I cannot...it's so funny seeing them chase nothing around.

[@LeeDee5]

Happy New Year ladies! Clock just turned 12 AM Jan 1 as i'm typing this. I don't like to go out anywhere so i'll just be chilling at home in cozy pj's.
