I enjoyed meeting you in Las Vegas. Thanks so much for the wonderful party you all put together...I know it was a lot of work and we had justtons of fun!! The gift bag was fantastic and very generous! The girls just love their new dolls! We ordered the Paper Roses fashion doll today from QVC for Emma Kate. She wants the whole series so keep 'em coming!...she's still on cloud 9 from winning the doll.

You had asked me to send you a video of the girls playing with them so I've pasted a couple of links below to a couple of videos I put on YouTube. In the first one, they were putting on the Vegas show using the old Donny and Marie dolls and the new Marie dolls...it's cute if you can get past their singing! ;-)

Emma Kate left you a really sweet message at the end of it about her new fashion doll. The other video is just areally short one of them playing with them in the back yard. I have tons of videos of them on You Tube playing with their dolls...old ones and new ones! We really enjoy your dolls! Again, thanks for the party and the wonderful weekend!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DOll MAKES!!

Toys for Tots GREAT Success in October!

GREAT NEWS!

As Promised..........

"For every doll sold by Charisma during the month of October 2009, a doll will be given to a child in need through the National Toys for Tots Program."

So far this month the "Buy a Doll - GIVE a Doll" Campaign has been a wonderful SUCCESS! Everyone here in the office pitched in to help in the send off of the dolls!! Toys For Tots collects new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. (Even our own Augey dog got in the act)

What a FANTASTIC way to get in the "Holiday Mood!"

Armfuls of Dolls headed their way to the Toys for Tots Foundation headquarters!

Boxes and Boxes of Dolls for the Tots!

The Charisma program is a nationwide program and the donated dolls will be distributed to Marine Units as directed by Marine Toys for Tots Foundation headquarters.

The Charisma corporate offices in Irvine, California will also be a drop off location for new unwrapped toys, dolls and cash donations during the months of October, November and December. The dolls and toys collected in the Irvine offices will be delivered to Camp Pendleton, California in late December.

DANCING Baby DONNY Doll......Bruno?

Marie, our birthday girl, who celebrated one day early, must believe it is better to give than to receive. Instead of getting a present from her brother Donny, she gave him a doll replica of himself, "Dancing Baby Donny!" Marie told him to give it to judge Bruno Tonioli so he can remember their impromptu smooch on last Monday's show. Donny responded, "I want to forget about that thing. This is just going to perpetuate it." Watch Exclusive BEHIND THE SCENES with Marie and the "Dancing Baby Donny!" http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/10/79646/

It's really great to see one of our dolls get to make an appearance on TV! Way to go Team Charisma on another GREAT Product!

Another HAPPY Collector!!

First off I have to say how beautiful you are and talented too!! I have enjoyed your music, and your family's and saw you live in Tecumseh, Ont, Canada at the Tecumseh Corn Festival about ten years ago could be more, hee,hee, but we won't say. Anyways, I received my first Marie Osmond doll today. I have been waiting a long time for one and she is like you said on QVC," gorgeous'. She is number 0402 out of a thousand.That chubby little face even impressed my husband and the porcelain is like silk. She is sitting up top on my fireplace mantel for now and is the focal point when you walk into my living room. I love everything about her, right down to the markings on her arms and legs and those cute chubby feet. I do have other dolls, but haven't bought any in 16 years, because I couldn't find one I liked until I tuned into TSC in Canada. I had to pay more for this one because I bought it at QVC and the s&h and money difference, because at the time on TSC, my hubby said you better not buy any, so I didn't and the next morning he said, Okay how many did you buy, and when I looked saddly at him and said none, he actually looked sad for me and said I could order one.

Well now he said I could order two for Christmas, so I am waiting in excitement for baby Steiner, and Baby Googlie!! If they are are beautiful as this baby Vivian, I am sure to be ordering more. Oh, and my mom got me start you up for Christmas and two sets of the baby tots, that are adorable including the tot Hershey's and Krackle. I live in pain everyday and on days when the pain is worse, just looking at my dolls perks me up some.Thanks again for being you, I just love your whit and charm and your as crazy as me about your dolls and I love that about you, cause everyone here including my daughters, just don't get Marie. Maybe one day I will be able to come see you at the Flamingo to see your show, for you to sign one of my dolls. May God continue to watch over you and your family. God Bless You.

Lots of Love,

Nancy M.

A Nice Reminder......

Hi!

I was looking at Marie's 15 Years of Friends book and was happy to find this quote....
"A doll should be a gentle reminder to stop "doing" life and start" living it.

What would we do without Doll "FRIENDS LIKE YOU!"

Have a great Day!

I sure work with some wonderful people!

Charisma Product Development - Helping Hands

Things have been really busy in Product Development at Charisma as we are all working hard to complete dolls and special projects for 2009 and are also busy working on the development of the 2010 collections. As you can see in the photo we have lots of pretty pink boxes stacking up, filled with Marie Osmond Dolls for a big 18th Anniversary August release and some extra special surprises yet to come this year.

It got so busy one day that we had to enlist the help of one of our "dolly" friends who happily pitched in to complete some last minute changes we had to make on a costume. Morning Star (who was praying for a quick finish) she looks much better in her Native American costume! "Dolly" friends are the biggest help! Don't you think?
Ok...back to work! Too much fun!

Busy BEES we are!

Hello All it's Monday!
Everyone here is reallly busy as Bees! A behive of activity for all......
