Is anybody else having issues with Photobucket images showing up, or is it just me?

August's 3-year homeiversary came hard on the heels of Lucy's...it was yesterday! And it feels like only yesterday that my first SD-size doll (the first of many XD) came home. *sniffle* I remember putting him & Lucy together on the office mantel & just staring for hours, transfixed.

This picture came later, once Aubrey had arrived, but it's still my very favourite image of August. I think it captures him perfectly.



Geez, I feel the urge to go open some wine...better follow my instincts! *squeezes August*

Does anybody have a favourite source for BJD lashes?

I missed the Baby shoes! D: I was out & didn't get home until 5 minutes after the sale started. Gah! If anybody happens to need to sell theirs, do drop me a line, yes? Mingxia NEEDS them.

Posting about Simone's homeiversary got me thinking about this photoshoot, which I figure a lot of you haven't seen, or have only seen snippets of. They were for a sweater sale--2 Mini-size sleeveless Chaos Lace sweaters, Secret Path & Secret River. Secret Path had a big cowlneck/hood thing & Secret River had a 28-inch train. I took the girls out to the local rock quarry & found the perfect spot! I think these are some of the best pictures I've taken of Simone (and Lucy--the Sharmin wearing S. Path--although these pics were for S. River's auction, so they focus on Simone). I made the raggedy little outfits, too. Hope you enjoy the pics!

moar funny pictures

This looks so much like my saucer-eyed Miss Kitty that I got kind of sniffly...even though she's sitting on my feet right now. XD She's 18 & I keep getting these moments of "OMG 18! What will I do without her on my lap!?" It's also poignant because I know that this is the last housecat I'll probably ever be able to have. My twitchy stomach just can't deal with catboxes (my dear stepfather comes over every day to take care of it for me! BLESS HIS HEART) & my back is so lousy that the vacuum cleaner is a real enemy.

Thankfully, I love birds, too. A cuddly parrot is kind of like a feathery cat.

But the house will feel so much colder when she's gone. ;___;

......

I'm still rather plague-ridden, but then so is everybody else in the county. My ears have started this bizarre thing where I hear everything double, no idea what that means. It's eerie, but kind of funny, too.

It's 70 degrees here & supremely windy. Which is utterly unnatural. I'm assuming it's going to blow in some nasty weather...hopefully not the tornados of the Midwest.

Bleh. I feel so flat. Even my WRITING is flat! XD

Even the Catsytwins had a tree this year! This is a very very tiny cedar.



(Lighting here is awful, I know. It's SO hard to get proper lighting up there to their bookshelf-top lair. -___-)

Hope everybody is having a Happy Holiday! <3 I have a few more late-to-the-party Christmas-y pics...all in good time, I guess. I seemed to be putting the weirdest things in Santa hats this year.

I totally have a cold...I kept trying to pretend that it was just sinus trouble, but no. Cold. *ack augh kak* Dreadful croaky sore throat. All night I dreamed that I'd been accidentally eating glass or sand. lol Laryngitis seems imminent...the one bonus to this being that I can imitate late Billie Holiday when I'm singing in the shower! <3

The fantabulous saintsavin has gotten her little dress shop off the ground:



Go visit to see her first wa-loli offerings in sweet & pretty prints! <3

I took the camels out on my front porch for pictures...

Here's August (Isao) with Horace:


And B-chan (B-el) riding Clarence:


Both of them are a "younger camel" size, but certainly of ride-able age. XD Horace needs tack, though...tack with lots of tassels.

I have just bought MSD- & SD-size camels. The kind made of leather? The MSD-size one has tack. Really I was just there to buy a dining-room table, but the camels were on SALE!!!! :O

SD-SIZE CAMEL. <3 He's so huge that I have no idea where I'll be able to take pictures of him.

purelytaintedkt is turning 18! Happy Birthday hon! ♥

So yesterday afternoon I had a little nap, in order to escape the dreadful achey-breaky pain that is my much-abused post-ralph ribcage. And I dreamed that my computer had gotten some kind of crazy virus, & it DELETED MY BERMANN. XDDD Some crayon-bright warning screen came up & taunted me about it, & then he was just gone from his chair in the doll case! And when I looked at some pictures I'd taken of him with other dolls, he was missing from the photos! Man, I was glad to wake up & hurt some more.

Maybe I OD'd on Tylenol.

*cuddles Jin*
Jin: *makes desperate bid to escape from bosom-glomp*

Snitched from a whole handful of folks...

Your home is a Daylight Magnate's Manor Your kitchen is someplace you never go, because you "have people for that." There's a Chocolatessen, which is rapidly becoming your favorite room of the house. Having one is also becoming a trend among your wealthy neighbors. Your master bedroom is the size of a small barn, with carpet thick enough to reach your ankles. Your study has hardback editions of every classic ever written, plus a special edition of Rich Dad, Poor Dad with the parts you ghost-authored highlighted. One of your garages holds your collection of ferraris, and is measured in acreage. Your home also includes a guest wing and private quarters for your servants. Your guests enjoy your home theater with hi-def plasma screen TV, and the thrones you watch it from. Outside is your hedge maze and gardens, meticulously tended by a team of world-class botanists. And, you have a pet -- a doberman pincer named "Warren". Below is a snippet of the blueprints:

Find YOUR Dream Home!

Miss Kitty visited me in the office to supervise my typing.

Can you believe she's 18? Old enough to vote. XD
