Before you read this as the gospel, please note that this post is solely my personal opinion and may be different than someone elses. Before you purchase a doll, you should verify the origin if you are skeptical. Lately, factory dolls have been making an appearance again. It has raised a lot of concerns from varying sides. My sole purpose with this post is to help you tell the difference on what you are spending your money on. Let’s start with Prototype. What is a prototype doll ? Well, it’s a doll that was created by CWC/Takara and was not …

My vision of running a doll shop and blog together as a unit kind of came to a half when I realized my post office is run by a bunch of tarts. They complain at every package I bring in.. it’s not wide enough, it’s too wide. Don’t tape over the bar codes.. I can’t scan this. This address should be “drive” not “dr.” — You name it, they’ve complained at me. I’ve tried really hard to meet their requests (cough/demands) only to find it to be a totally stressful situation. This doesn’t only pertain to my outgoing mail, but …

So, recently I’ve gotten it in my head that I want to collect Re-Ment miniatures again. My main plan is to build a roombox for my Blythe dolls that is a gamer cafe. So far, I’ve built quite the little miniature collection for this. The first thing I wanted to do was find a nice, over-all useful set to get started. This Megahouse Panda Shop set was perfect !

My husband had breakfast this morning with the guys in charge @ his company.. and it’s confirmed. They would like us to move up north ! We’re looking at Clover or York, SC. While it’s exciting.. it’s the 4th time we’ve moved in less than 2 years and I have to admit, I’m tired. Although I’m kind of used to it from the military moves.. it’s still a hugely draining process overall. We are hoping to purchase our home this time so hopefully it will cement us and help us plant our family roots. And what’s cool is my parents …

Slowly, but surely my life is settling back into place. Since my last post a LOT happened and it happened so quickly, most of it is a blur. First, let me start with the home-front. We found a beautiful home that suits us just perfectly. I am beyond grateful for this home. It’s by far, the nicest home we have ever lived in. And it has a “secret” upstairs. I’ll be sure to blog about that later. But it’s pretty neat. So, we had filed the paperwork on this house and were settling in on a Saturday night about a …

Since our family decision to move into the travel trailer, a few things have popped up. The first being.. we decided to take one more stab at the whole owner financing deal. We found a beautiful home that we made an offer on Sunday. We gave the owner until Friday to respond. We’re really hoping this works out. But if it doesn’t, we have our Plan B to live in the camper for a few months, save up and try again. I have been so unmotivated in getting things listed for sale. We wanted to sell our living-room furniture, a …
