fc, I just read through this thread and saw the part about the spaghetti and meatballs dinner that your son was too full to eat. If you want to email some over here, I would not refuse it!! That sounded much better than what I had tonight.

horselaydee, you are so talented!

I agree with Janice about sending some of the mostacholli (sp?) and meatballs my way it would'nt last long at my house!

Janice,Thanks so much for your comment about my doll photostory contest entry! That encourages me to keep going. I have quite a bit of work to do to finish it before the deadline.

OMG!! Janice is in the doll thread!!!

Hi Janice! Please keep visiting us here!

Yes, HL is super talented! So is her hubby! They are a dream couple! AND CUTE to boot!

Well, the boys did polish all the pasta off. Just not with ME at DINNER time I guess pasta is better at 2:00 in the morning

But I have some pork chops and ribs leftover from yesterday that I could send your way!

Now, where are the rest of those gorgeous doll pictures?!

OOOH HL I love your doll pics! They are so cool.

Eeek! Thanks Aerwin! I am so thrilled you think so! I will be working on the next phase over the next few nights...I have sure had a ball doing this. I think there is a closet graphic designer deep within me that is trying to get out.

This is the concept for my final scene...Malekai will refer to a poster that I will be doing that will be something like this only with Val and his two special devil fox guest stars! I was shooting for a more circusey vaudeville flavor for the story, but was limited by the graphics I could round up (and my photoshop skills!) and use that are free and not copywrited.



Well, off to work...will try and stop in later! Have a great day everyone!

Oh, that is going to be so cool!

I say let than closeted graphic designer all the way out!!

Gah, look at everyone's cool new avies! Well lots to report on the doll front today. I worked out a deal for a DES head and it will be shipped out tomorrow. I ordered a wig for my other head, and am about to order some eyes for the DES head....money, money, money! I also need to order some eye putty and eyelashes for the DES head. I am going to need everyone's help naming her...so start thinking of some blue haired elf girl names! Don't have a clue yet about her personality until I complete the face-up, but guess she will be a sweeter, not an elf witch type of creature!

I need to go walk the dog, then start some major work on the photostory...

I'll be back!

Thanks! I wanted avi's that went with the look of the board. Your's is going to look awesome with the next skin!

Aerwin, your Tudor avi is awesome!

YAY for scoring the new head! I am so happy for you! I will look for elf/fairy names tomorrow. I am so sleepy tonight I fell asleep watching a movie 3 late nights working on the board have finally caught up with me.

I cannot wait to see what you do with all your new goodies!

Yes - techie speak for "background and border". The next one I want to use is another fantasy but with dragons and a beautiful damsel. It is called Dune Age (or something like that) and all done in nice sandy and beige tones. I think your avi will look really nice with that!

Have an awesome day!

The dragon/dune skin sounds very cool! I love the fantasy theme you have going on.

Well, I spoke too soon about all the goodies arriving this week. I think it will be more like next week. I misinterpreted a post over at DOA and the doll body is on it's way to Florida now then will need to be packaged up and sent to me here. I anticipate maybe arrving early next week. The DES head has not been shipped yet as promised, or at least the seller has not posted or contacted me that she shipped it today. So that brings us into the weekend and beyond since it will be coming from Massachusetts. I bet that takes a good 3-4 days Priority. It is all fine actually. We are going to the Gorge again on Friday to see Tom Petty and Steve Winwood and will have a late night and hectic Friday. The weather this weekend is supposed to be near 100 so it would have been fun to stay in and do doll stuff, but I'm sure I will need to get up early and ride to escape the heat on Sunday anyway, and before I know it the weekend will be over.

I am going to take one of the horses out tonight for a quick ride, but do seriously need to keep working on finishing my photostory entry and be done with that by Thursday.

TTYL!

Thanks! I'm glad you like the fantasy themes too. There are not that many I can use because so many have black backgrounds. Not sure how much I can play around with the background but I am going to try.

Yep, sounds like you will be too busy for new doll stuff this weekend. Besides, this gives you the concert to look forward to this weekend and then fun stuff next week!

I love Steve Winwood! Petty is good too! 100 degrees!! Too bad the concert wasn't last weekend! Now that was a weekend for an outdoor conert! When it cooled off when it got late you guys could huddle/cuddle under a blanket! Instead I guess you guys could pour water bottles over each other

Now get working on that Photostory!!

Well my laydee I did get some work done on the story last night... I must say I am a little stumped about how I am going to pull off the ending. May be a little stupid, but oh well! I hope to finish it maybe tonight after Project Runway of course!

Well, the body I have coming actually arrived in Arizona yesterday, but did'nt get picked up, so hopefully that will happen today and they will mail out by the end of the week.
The head went out yesterday!

I need to order the eyes and get some lashes and eye putty today just in case I get it this weekend!

Good idea about the pouring the water bottles over each other! We are not going to rush getting there like we did the Police show. We will get there around 7:00 or so. Hopefully it will start cooling down by then!

TTYL! Gotta get to work! Have a great day.

Congrats on the head and body being so close to home!!!!!!!!!!!

Good idea getting there at 7:00! Things should cool off by then for sure.

Gotta run. Have an awesome day!

Well, I ordered some eyes that I really liked...my first blue ones! And now just have to order some eye putty, lashes, and a pair of shoes from DDE. I really hope I get the
DES head this weekend so I can work on the face-up since it is going to be too hot to do much of anything else!

Hope you had a good day today with your Mom.

Well check back in later!
