Today my two random dolls are both custom re-dos of two budget friendly 18" dolls: Springfield Collection Maria and Kingstate Friendship Kids Friends Forever.

I actually re-did Maria and her Springfield "cousin" vintage retired Niya at the same time.

So I thought it was time to give Niya a new lease on life and remake her into a twin brother for makeover Maria. I love the way they turned out!

The Kingstate boy doll was originally a blonde girl doll with a really badly matted wig that I exchanged for a newer one which suited her well enough.

But eventually I decided she would make a much cuter boy, so I gave her freckles and an allover blush and traded out her long blond wig for a cute boy do. Well dang, he really was meant to be a boy all along!

I even got a picture of him with makeover Maria's new twin brother. . .
 

All of the dolls here have now gone to new homes, but I was thankfully able to preserve this cute moment in time. . . Unfortunately the day was very overcast when I photographed them, so I apologize for the grainy images. :/
