one year, part 1

yesterday was one year since you passed away. you were like a grandmother to me, kind, gentle, and loving. i will always remember the way you smiled, the sunlight in your dining room, christmas in your living room. you were always proud of my accomplishments, of watching what i became and knowing who i was. i will miss seeing you when i go home, no longer able to visit with you for even a short while. though no new memories can be made for us, the ones i have i will hold fast to, always remembering, always loving, always family of the heart.

just a quick note...

just a quick note to say that i'm still alive. i've not really been doing much other than looking for a new job, wasting time online, and reading books lately. there's a bunch of things i should probably do, but i just don't. that includes things that i really should have done some time ago but just can't seem to muster up the motivation for. the 21st marked year 4 come and gone. never did get around to taking year 3 pictures. anyway...

year three anniversary

so today was the end of year three and the start of year four. i can't believe that i've had winter and azerian for this long already! i've spent today and yesterday working on my unnamed amber. did my first and second airbrushing attempts on her. definitely a better job the second time around. XD i am fudging my rules for the yearly photo a little and will be having some work finished after the anniversary in order to have at least one more doll that is currently in bits back together for the photo. also, edric is still away in canada getting all pretty, so he will likely not be in the photos (unless it takes me 6+ months again).

anyway, just wanted to put up a quick note to celebrate! ^_^

listing

so it's been a while since i've really blogged on here. i've been meaning to for quite a while, but life gets in the way. well...work does mostly...

so anyway. i'm still waiting on beefcake and replacement shoes. the shoes only just made it back to korea thanks to the weirdness of international shipping. i mean, wtf? two weeks??? -_- i checked in on beefcake with the company to find out when he should ship out as it has been 50 business days since order/payment and was told that they will be shipping him the third week of july with expected arrival to me the fourth week. great. i'm gone when they expect him to arrive to me! suck.

two years along...

so today is the two year anniversary of winter and azerian arriving. currently they are stuck away in my doll bag as i've been kept busy the past few days. that's okay though, i've decided to postpone the yearly pictures for this year as one of my dolls is out being done up.

yes, that's right, azerian is home! he arrived back on january 25th and has pretty much been hogging demaius's body ever since. i missed him so much and am so sad that he is currently still blank. i don't think i'm going to be sending him out for quite some time just because i have a ton of other dolls to work on, and i really want him home for a while.

as for the one that i'm delaying photos for...well...chade is currently away with candygears for a complete faceup and body blushing. she's working on him and, once he returns home, i will be taking the photos. the delay shouldn't really be more than a few weeks, so that is okay in my book. i've been in the process instead this weekend of working on the various pictures that i have pending. i've managed to pull all the photos off my camera from the past month or so and have been working at making sure that i have all the shoots set out that i need to get up from the past year. that should get me through until chade is back. :)

i will have to try and post again this week and recap what fun i had this past week, but for now, i need to get going! so much to do, so little time! <3 all my dolls and can't believe that i have 23 (including floating heads, not including various extra bits) home and am waiting on another! (oh yeah...waiting on bodies for the three floating minifee heads and a mnf rheia! more about that later!) taaa~

year one

i really should have put this up a few months ago, but i've been busy and majorly slacking. i've got tons of photos to get processed and up. *sigh* hopefully soon!!!

anyway. february 21st was the one year anniversary of winter's arrival (along with azerian's head) here. i must say, looking back it still surprises me how into this hobby i am. :) one year in and i've already gotten one of each size and obtained two of my dream dolls. i've been having such a great time and have even gained new friends within the hobby. these dolls really do fill a void that i'd been searching to fill for years. repeated tries with barbies and their ilk did not yield the results i wanted and now...now i am so happy!

ugh...anyway...gonna ramble all night if i'm not careful. ;) on to the pictures from the anniversary!!!
