Dang where is my pretty red dress from the Scrappies, it would be so perfect for a Christmas party. I think it might have gotten tossed, but I guess that means I need to go shop. :D

[Caro]

yes yes no pre seen costumes allowed must be a new original design hehhehehehe

[scamptx]

Oh boy--an incentive to change my grungy ol flatself!

[Christine]

I found another gorgeous red dress, this one even has sparklies on it. I think it looks very festive!

This sounds really fun. I don't know how to make a flat granny (or GIT for me ;) ). I think someone mentioned a template somewhere. May I have the link please??? :hug:

[GailS]

Carolyn, what a lovely idea and a thoughtful and fun way to celebrate the holiday! You rock! :)

[evergreen100]

My Flattie hasnt had a change of clothes for ever so long and must be getting rather on the nose by now, thanks for the incentive to give her a new "do"' Carolyn. Should be able to make that deadline!

[Fulltime RVer]

Thank you for doing this! Sounds like fun and I haven't made a new flat grannie outfit in ages.

[LisasMom]

Great balls of fire!!! Scarlett is lending me the very dress she wore the Christmas Ashley was home from the war!!
Oh I can't wait till it gets here and I can try it on!!
You just can't begin to know how excited I am!!

[kaybutler@mweb.]

Carolyn ..you are SUCH a doll !!! What great incentive to dust the moth balls off our flatties ..I was just wondering when we were going to get some action again !!

[Caro]

heheh well Kay I am having a great time with all the comments and seeing the ladies already dressed for the party in the gallery

[GrandmaCrys]

WOWEE! A party! Dress up! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daggie, oh Daggie, I found the dress size you lost. Sure you don't want it back? I can't fit into anything! (Please, oh please don't send me the next two sizes you're tossing! I don't want 'em!)

OK OK, suck it in.................nope, I can't suck that much! DANG! I'm in trouble!!! What to do? What to do? Too late to shed pounds. Nothing in closet fits.....crud...I'm in trouble.

Vicki, oh Vicki........you got Scarlett's dress; are the drapes still available?

Rene, are you out there? Got any tent in your Big Top kit I can convert to a dress?

Somebody, help! I'm running out of time!

Oh dear, oh dear, what shall I do?????????????

[LisasMom]

As a matter of fact Crys, the drapery dress (http://www.gwtw4ever.com/lifesizeDrapery.htm) IS STILL AVAILABLE and just waiting for you!!!
And if you need a corset (http://www.gwtw4ever.com/lifesizeunderpinnings.htm), she's sent those along too!!

[Teresa]

Okay, I want the flat grannies to come to my house this Christmas. As a GIT and new to this thread, someone will have to tell me how I do this. Also, am I allowed to be a flattie or do I have to wait several more years. My son is only nine. I'm a great-aunt if that helps.

:wave: Ok, I didn't think I would do this. But Samm said someone needed to be Mrs. Claus and so I took that and ran with it. Hang on tight to your chairs while you are viewing this, it is kind of like those e-mails you get where when you get to the end of the e-mail and someone appears that half scares you out of your wits!!! :lol: :lol:

http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=227522

[Caro]

[evergreen100]

Here I am, I may change my outfit before the date of the party, but in case I dont get time this little black number will have to do. However if I grow tall, and develop a WAIST, and grow FINGERS like some of you have, I may slip into something more s***y!!:D

I would love to been able to give you all a prize but my budget doesn't stretch to that but I do hope you all enjoyed dressing up for the party. We had a great time you all decided to jump on my christmas tree. See layout here ...... http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=230249&ppuser=44193
