Thank you...I really appreciate it! :)
All about the resin darlings that consume my love, time, and wallet...the intricacies of the hobby...the photography and the creative products that go along with BJD ownership and passion. In doll world, anything goes. A person's dolls can be whoever the person makes them out to be. There are no limits except those that you place upon yourself.

Flickr Rant

Paper Doll Bunny

I can't believe it...Flickr's been doing a photo preview for a new layout which I turned off but it's now public. The new layout's to stay. Which sucks because not only can I not view a photo without having to move my screen around I now can't get the image URL.
Flickr's rules say I have to link back to the photo. DoA's rules say I can't. Yet...I and many of my doll friends use Flickr to share our photos. What a mess!
So I might have to go back to Photobucket for image hosting...but I HATE PB with a passion now since there's all the adds, the spam, and the adware that I didn't have to contend with three years ago when I joined. Plus...I PAY to use Flickr.
Even more, I use enlarged fonts on my computer due to a vision impairment and PB's site layout distorts everything and causes it to all overlap on each other on the page.
What to do????? I don't know if I should try ImageShack or Snapfish or something...
RAWR.

What do you do with a problem like Carleigh?
Carleigh is one of my three favorite dolls: all Fairyland girls, all different tiny sizes, all easy to clothe and prop. But for some reason I got BORED with her...which I don't understand at all.
I've been paying more attention to Artemis and Macchiato of course always soaks it up and Nuri's just...Nuri but I stopped playing with her completely. I gave her a bath today and cleaned out the crap stuck in her joints hoping it would help us bond again. It didn't work. I saw an outfit and my first reaction was that she HAD to have it but I just couldn't click "buy". I then began looking at Littlefee clothes.
I'm hoping this is temporary...I'm hoping I can fix this with a wig change or something. I considered trying a different faceplate but the only PKF Cupid I found didn't have a faceup (can't do one now b/c of the heat). For now she's sitting on top of my jewelry chest looking sad in the glasses she hates more than she hates spinach.
She needs to find her charm again. :(

EDS Today in the Chase Community Giving Challenge
I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome which is a rare collagen production disorder which is also genetic. It causes many things...for me it's caused my joints to dislocate, my skin to tear, my blood vessels and organs to malfunction and potentially rupture and for my vision to become severely impaired.
I can no longer function without the help of crutches, three finger splitns, two wrist braces, two knee braces, two ankle braces and tons of auxilary visual and computer equipment.
There is very little research on EDS and there is no standard treatment and no cure. I have been the CT State Captain of EDS Network CARES (www.ehlersdanlosnetowrk.org) for a few months now. EDSNC won in the last Giving Challenge on FB and now we've partnered with another research organization called EDS Today. The money will go towards further developing two studies that are currently under way, one of which I may be participating in myself.

Who goes there?
The Mina version of Nuri didn't work out. After months of having her head stashed on a shelf or in a box full of other crap...I got my Garden of Dolls PpoPpo head restored and Nuri's back in her original form. I also found out they're no longer being made and even the woman who created her is selling her own doll!!! I almost bought it to put on my heavily modified body but then Buff from DoA said that she can make my girl like new again! She did an awesome job save for a tad of pink stuck on the lips but I wanted to keep their original shape. Now she has a natural faceup with worried eyebrows and her trademark star by her left eye. I took photos of her and she looks like a 13 year old stuggling with fitting in, especially as a teen with a disability. I'll have pics later.
Artemis is exactly the same...I haven't changed her. No need to...except that after a year of looking, I finally happened upon a sleeping faceplate with the FL faceup. It's coming from Poland I think so she'll finally take a nap...which goes well with her new pajamas I got at the mall a few weeks ago.
Carleigh's also remained unmodded...she will eventually be getting a faceup from Leah Lilly as her FL one is chipped on the eyebrow, cheek, and lips by me dropping her or by her getting knocked over. This kid is spoiled rotten with Re-ment and Ruby Red Galleria shoes :)
MACCHIATO. Of course...I'm nuts over her STILL. She now has THREE wigs and is now waiting for her new Mimi's Stuff clothes and shoes to come from England. Almost all of her clothes are custom made now and I am thinking of doing a closet cleanout as she has SO MUCH stuff just for one Puki!
And now...the good kind of spam that everyone enjoys :D

Dolly Crypt?
My doll family's changed a bit. I traded off Guillaume for a LTF Chiwoo Elf who I've named Artemis (after the goddess) and I'm still really pleased with her. I even was able to get a hold of green glitter eyes and kitty shoes! I went all out and got her the Leeke Wendy in Sandy Brown and it's a DREAM! Here's a pic for your viewing pleasure:

I also was able to FINALLY have an Elfdoll Hana...and best yet it's the Halloween Wizard which is an LE of 50! I kept the name Hana...she is a little bitch LOL...always pouty and grumpy:

I ran across some financial problems and had to sell some dolls...Lua and Cordelia had to be sold which made me very very sad...but it turned out the new owner didn't like Lua so I got her back because of my very good friend who saw her at a meetup. I have a little Fairyland Welcoming Committee:

Did you see that little cutie? She's a Pukifee Bonnie...now I can see why people love Lati Yellows...I believe this is my favorite size of all...noticeable but not as hard to carry around as a Littlefee. She's Artemis's sister and is only three years old (Artemis is eight). She's afraid of Macchiato and her endless caffeine-induced energy:

Those are my babies!!! I still have Nuri and Ivy (been trying to sell Ivy so if you're interested please let me know :)
Toodles!
