I have a question (not for a prize) - how long have you been coming to the Commissary? >>

Back in 2013 I went to my first Sandra Stillwell convention, Every Day's A Holiday.
Michael Basala was the MC and one of the breakouts was "Studio Commissary Countdown to the New Year". We were asked if everyone knew what the SC was. I had no clue but I didn't speak up at the time.
It wasn't until I got back home that I googled Studio Commissary, looked around and then contacted Michael about participating. I think back then you just posted?? Anyway, I joined in and the rest (13 years!) is history.
I visit just about every day now. And those days are ALL holidays sharing Gene, her times, her fashions and those of her doll pals with all of you.
Loveyoumeanit!
