American Santos... A Tuesday Morning Markdown!

She has been sitting on the shelf at the "Tuesday Morning" store

in Hockessin, Delaware for about eight months... marked $39.99

I just wasn't willing to pick her up at that price... (even in tax-free DE.) 

Although that was easily half the retail price on the internet!

So the other day, when Katie and I stopped at the store

and she was marked down an additional 20%...

Well, she came home with us!

I'm not kidding myself: She's not that pretty with those 

"gopher" cheeks and that wavy "hair!"  

From my perspective: her only redeemable attributes...

 are those articulated shoulders, elbows and wrists!

(O.K. and maybe the nice textured finish on her torso/arms)

So... I'm thinking a major "make-over" from the cage skirt up!

I believe she is partially wood, partially resin... 

I'm thinking that I am partially certifiable (if you know what I mean!)

So...let the chisel fly... let the sanding-block rip... 

and get out the paper clay... 'cause:

This girl's getting a make-over!  

(Yup... the walk-out-of-the-store-price was: $31.99)

What have I to "lose?" (wink!) Daryle
