Dolls

Well, sadly the site I bought my gold one for Princess Didi, is out ot them right now. The site is Long Hair Girl. They sell the most gorgeous things for girls/womens hair. SO I checked out Ebay Express and they have a ton on this page.

Tiara Combs!!


You get one that says "Tiara Comb". The regular ones would be too big. Then when you get it you just easily snap off the comb part and the tiara fits perfectly!! Some are more expensive than others, but there are some for around $6 plus shipping. They are all lovely. If Ali's snow princess gown is white, then the one with the little pearls on top would be really pretty! The gold and rhinstone one I bought Didi was $9 with shipping from Long Hair Girl, so most of the Ebay Express prices are fair.

Pearl Tiara Comb

See the comb part on that? You just bend it back and forth and it comes right off! Make sure you order one that has that as I fear the others might not be the same size.

This one is my fave!! But then you know me and Swarovski Crystal!! I would love to get this one! (only I can't see the comb part and I am not sure if it is the same type)

Swarvoski Crystal Comb!


Beautiful and cheaper!


Really beautiful and cheaper!!

Then of course there are ones with colored stones mixed in. I love the royal blue one and the purple one! Have fun picking one out!!


DO NOT TEMP ME WITH BEAUTIFUL BOY DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He would be perfect for Claire I think!! Now I will be all confused again as it was tough enough to decide to go from more J-Dolls to Bobobie, since I still love several of the J-Dolls. BUT, I do need to get a Bobobie and see how I feel about the BJD when I see one in person and own one. I can always get more J-Dolls in the future if I want to. But yeah, that purty boy is very interesting and I would love to have him for Claire. Are these a new type of doll? Is he OFAK? Man, I sure do like him!!

EEEK! That was fun! Those babies really vary ont he prices don't they?
I am leaning towards this one:

Her dress has gold on it, so a gold one would be nice, but I think the silver with shimmery stones will work too! What do you think? I love the green crystal one, but I am not going to pay more than 10.00 total!

I have seen those boy Obitsu or Volks 1/6 dolls before and admired them. They just had too small of heads to go with my clan at the time!
I'm sorry-I won't muddy the next doll waters any more! But, I just could'nt resist showing you that cool guy...I immediately thought of Claire!

Oh that's OK! Muddy the waters!! I love having options!!

If there is gold in Ali's dress I would go with a gold one. That is what I did with Didi's. The white princess gown I won on Ebay had gold trim and I thought that would be perfect! They all are so pretty though! You really couldn't go wrong.

I'm with you. I set a $10 limit also at the time. I had searched the stores around me (because I got the silver one for Neora at Target for only $5 plus tax) and no store had one in gold. That is how I ended up finding Long Hair Girl.


Crap, while I was posting this my mom called and things are bad with my dad today. Really retaining water and no energy to even let her dress him. She told me to keep my cell phone on while I am out in case she calls the paramedics to take him to the hospital. Man, I want off this roller coaster

Gotta run and get my errands done. She has a nurse coming at 2:30 PM to check on him and she hopes to be able to wait until then and see what she says.

The roller coaster is a rough ride isn't it my laydee? Hope it is not a day you will be going to the hospital. I know she was concerned last week too about the fluid retention. Did'nt the bozo's over at the VA clinic or one of his other doctors address that? Is he on lasix?

Ready for a Hid fashion show? I think this one has normal skin, which I really like too! Love the black wig, but glad I got something different...everyone is going to have theirs in fur wigs! I definitely am going to get him some smaller eyes! Those look too big and weird! Can't live with that!~ He is beautiful!!!! I am getting so excited now!

Yes, he is on lasix. Has been for a very long time. He only got the blood work-up on Monday. He didn't go see the VA doc on Weds. due to the snow and cold and he didn't feel well enough to go. He did see the home nurse on Weds. and she didn't see anything new to worry about. He has been dealing with the water retention for weeks now and that is why he is on extra water pills to try and lose it. I think my mom wants him to go to the hospital to have them take the fluid out. They always get it out so fast there.

Do all the Hids come with that scar or red streak? It is cool. I do think he will look better in the wig you picked out and eyes other than red. Everyone else seems to have given him that evil look. I like that your will be mysterious without looking like a demon! Not that demons aren't cool, just that that would not me my first choice for my first boy. If I could afford several than I might have a demon along with a vampire!

That's right, all your Dad had was the blood work-and never did see a doctor. It is really good the home health nurse comes to check on him regularly.

Yes, they all have the scar on the face and the scar on the chest if ou order the full set. Don't you think those eyes look too big in the sockets?
To me, that looks goofy!

That is a normal skin version and I think he looks less wicked vs. the white skin that I ordered, but hopefully with the changes I made he will take on a more refined look and less of the demon! I hope they add the extra blush to highlight his cheekbones more to give him an older vibe.

I just ordered some custom clothes for him and the gal does really nice work for reasonable cost. (Cheaper then mEda! ) She does some roccoco style stuff and was really excited to come up with a special design that reflects his time traveller persona.

I am really starting to get excited about my Hid and Fox, please excuse my glee!

Starting to get excited???!!! Good lord I'd be peeing in a circle in anticipation!! Anytime I order a doll I get excited, but a BJD custom??!! I'd be going nuts! If things work out and I get to order a Bobobie for Mother's Day, I will be beside myself!!!

Cool on ordering the new clothes! mEda is charging shipping now too. She is great for Pullips and Taeyangs, but if I was getting BJD clothes I would go with someone who specializes in them.

For me I am so turned off by the red eyes on Hid that I can't tell if the issue is the size. He makes a totally convincing demon though!! I am sure your guy will be amazing beyond words!!

I am sitting here with the phone next to me waiting to hear what the nurse had to say. She was coming at 3:30 and it is 4:30. So crossing my fingers I hear good news that he is doing better.

I did get almost ALL my Xmas shopping done! My one cousin emailed me right before I left with what to get the 5 remaining people I didn't know about. 3 were gift cards and I was able to get them all at the Jewel Gift card mall! I just need to get one cousin new towels and potholders for her redecorated kitchen (where we are going Xmas Eve), a couple more things for Rob, some stocking stuffers for the boys, and just 2 daycare boys who I cannot figure out what to get because their folks are rich and they have every freaking thing under the sun that a little boy could want already!! What do you get for $10 for kids like that? The girls are always easy, the boys not so much!

I also got all the groceries for the weekend. Since this is the weekend we do our big "Thanksgiving" dinner for just us, I have everything to make a great feast and if I don't get to because of my dad, I got easy stuff for them all to make themselves. I sure made the most of 4 hours let me tell you!!

TTYL!

So your Dad passed his nursing inspection I guess?

Sounds like you had a super productive day! Wish I could stop by for dinner at your place this weekend!

I think I am going to stop on my way home and get one of those baked chickens for tonight. I don't get off until 6:30 tonight since I came in late.

Nurse said that he has gained more water weight in his abdomen, but lost some in his thighs. They increased water pill again (it gives him pains in his side though, one of the side effects). She said lungs were clear. Didn't think he needed to go to the hospital. He couldn't do his PT though. Too hard to move around. Couldn't lift his prosthetic leg. THEN mom called me back an hour later and said while eating dinner his crown on his front tooth broke off!!! Now he will need to get to the dentist too! This is the 3rd crown/tooth to break since he lost his first leg. I wonder if all the meds are weakening his teeth or something?

I wish you could come to dinner tomorrow too!! But, our weather is going to SUCK with snow and more freezing rain. Damn we have to go through the "get the boys to and from work safely" dance again like we did last Sat. Joy

Got to get back to Clay concert Chat!! Later~

(oh, those chickens make a great dinner!!)

Another Clay concert eh? That guy sure stays busy around the holidays does'nt he? Is it a cell cert or just reports?

We scarfed up the chicken...I have'nt cooked all week. I just did'nt feel like it so we scrounged on leftovers and soup! I just have not been very hungry for some reason. But, I was tonight! I hate going grocery shopping when I am hungry...that is like chinese water torture!

Glad your Dad is doing ok, and they are managing his fluid balance closely.

I must try to gear up for dragging the Christmas stuff out tomorrow....oy!

Yes, Clay does his Christmas tour every year now. Right up until Dec. 22nd. Then he leaves for a UNICEF trip right away (spending Xmas out of the country) than right to Spamalot on Broadway!!

I go in Chat at The Clack House for cellcert reports. I can't hear them live, but can download (which I don't often do), but Chat is great fun and you learn all about the M&Gs. Clay now sits down with the winners for about 20-30 mins and talks to them and answers questions before signing their stuff and posing for pix with them. He is so good to his fans!

Maybe your body has not completely recovered from your trip. Or it is waiting for more of that great Italian food! It is spoiled now by all those great restaurants!! I am one of those weird people who LOVE to grocery shop! I love our new Jewel. They have a great deli and bake shop! The Fresh Market is my fave though! Woodman's is great too. More cheese choices than anywhere I have ever been!

Yes, they are watching the water retention closely. The extra weight just makes it so hard for him to move around and do his PT.

Good luck with your decorating tomorrow. It is a lot of work, but you will be happy when you are done and it gets you more in the spirit!

Gotta get ready for bed Good night and sleep well my friend!!

Happy Saturday!!

Good morning my laydee!
Eeek! He is so super cute! And the outfit!!!!!!

Here is a cutie for you...remind you of anyone????

Yes, the piggy is just adorable! I love little pigs. We saw some at this Fairytale place in The Dells and the little baby piglets were just the cutest little things! The mamas not so much The little guy up there belongs to a gal at PS. I stole the pic because I thought he was a good way to start the day!

That is one handsome dude you brought over girlfriend! Honestly, I am not sure who you are thinking of when you look at him. At first I thought JD, but JD has dark brown eyes and no orange streaks in his hair. But, there is something very familiar about him

Does that piggy belong to Lovehaze? She is a member at DOA and I was wondering what BJD's she had!

Looks familiar eh??? Heh, heh! That is a minimee doll of Johnny Depp..kind of resembles him, but not an exact replica. Something is off with eyes and shape of the face is too long and thin. But, they got the mouth really good I think!

No, the piggy belongs to Nicolecatcat. Not a name I see too much there, but then I am not in the BJD threads very much.

Other than the mouth I do not see Depp. I think the eyes need to be darker and rounder. Black rimmed glasses would help too since whenever I see Depp interviewed he is wearing black rimmed glasses. Maybe a Fedora too!

The big fat birdie has been in the oven 90 mins. and the house is starting to smell yummy already! I have the stuffing done, mashed potatoes done, just need to cook the broccoli later, pop in the croissant rolls and open the cranberry sauce!! EEE Thanksgiving part 2!

Ok, now I'm drooling! Your dinner sounds wonderful!

I have been putting the Christmas stuff up most of the day. Tree and most of the decorations are up, including the doll tree!

Now I just need to muster the energy to make dinner...

Here are some photos of Ray...I do like him very much. He just does'nt have the pizazz that Hid does. I am hoping that they add the blush like they do on Ray. That looks really good on the pale skin. Just maybe just a tad more under his cheek bones to give an older look.

Dinner was wonderful!! The house still smells like roasted turkey! Best part? We have enough for tomorrow so I don't have to cook!! Just reheat!! Broccoli with melted cheddar cheese is Eric's fave veggie so that was in honor of him! He has to work the all night shift (11:00 PM until 7:00 AM) and I wanted him to have a perfect meal! I am worried though, our freezing rain is suppose to start soon and it is predicted for the morning too I will be a nervous Nellie! Rob is at work tonight too - special project.

Guess what my 16 year old did this morning? He had to leave for work at 6:30 AM. He had to drive our huge conversion van today. There are 3 cars in the garage. MIL has beautiful new sedan. Justin was being so careful of MIL's car while backing out of the garage (her car is on the driver side of the conversion van) that he didn't pay attention to the other side and took out the side mirror It is still on fine, but the mirror is shattered. Oh well. What can you do. He offered to pay for it to be fixed. He is my funny, little sweetie and I just can't get upset about that kind of stuff. Better our mirror than denting Grandma's car! We have a 3 car garage but Rob's van is in the part with the small garage door. The big van has to squeeze out the double door. It is so big it barely fits in there. I have scraped paint off trying to get it out if whoever drove it last doesn't angle it in. I will be so happy to have a smaller vechicle come spring.

Ray is nice, but not as interesting as Hid. He is rather ordinary. Hid has so much character and will be so much fun for photoshoots. Ray looks like a nice display doll, especially in that fancy royal outfit.

Congrats on getting your Xmas stuff up!! I am dying to see the dollie tree!! I wish I had a tree all decorated with dolls!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, the ice started up. Eric had left for work and had to come back because he couldn't see. Hubby came home right after and had him take the other van but doesn't know if that will help as he was having the same problem trying to keep the ice off the windows. Now I am scared. I called White Castle and said he would be late. I don't know why that place has to stay open all night. They are the only fast food place here that does. Shit I hate winter!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry too much Mamabear. Your cub will be ok! He sure does work quite a bit on weekends though does'nt he? Poor kid never has time to date or anything...but, hey that is good isn't it?

That is kinda funny that Eric busted off the mirror backing out to avoid Grandma's car! Tell him I have done much worse... The first mishap occurred when my husband parked his old 84 Toyota PU along side the house right where I usually back up to get out of our driveway.
Well, that was car crash number 1 for me this year...scratched the rear bumper of the Honda pretty good. Then right before our trip, you may remember car crash number 2 smashing into the side of my garage while pulling in. What a dork I am.

Yes, Ray is nice, but no where near as interesting as Hid. Gah, I can't wait to get him!!!!!It is starting to drive me insane! But, that is part of the fun of getting a new doll is the anticipation- as you said.

We have had a really mild winter so far. It was sunny and in the 40's today here. I even took my dog for a walk.

Well, it isn't alright. Eric called and spun out into a ditch. There are accidents ALL OVER Chicagoland! Rob went to get him. Eric and I talked on the phone until Rob got there. Than I called Eric's manager and told her what happened. I also told her they shouldn't even make this kids work all night long on these awful nights and that I hope Eric looks for another job! Yes, I am UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So is Eric. He was so scared when he spun out. Thank god he is OK and he didn't hit a car or anything.

Justin is my 16 year old (Eric is eighteen) and he is the one who broke the side mirror. What a day for our boys and our cars

Eric did tell me that he is spending his whole winter break looking for a new job. He hates these all night long weekends. Every 4 weeks he has to work all night on Friday and all night on Sat.

Poor Rob. He just got in from driving 150 miles in this wintry mix and he immediately had to turn around and get Eric. What excitement!

Well, Rob got the minivan on the road (Eric spun out off the road and couldn't get the back tires to work) and Eric drove the rest of the way to work in the big van and Rob followed him and made sure he got to work OK. Now Rob is home. We can't sleep right now as we are all hyped up. It is really bad out. Poor Rob, after that long drive home from his account in this bad weather, he had to turn around and go help Eric. He is not in a happy mood! It is terrible out. It is suppose to continue like this into tomorrow. I think I will have Justin call in sick at his job so we all can just stay in safe sound!

I remember car crash #2, not #1! That is my fear for my Dad's Saturn. We are always playing musical cars with it, trying to decide whose car to park it behind. I am afraid that someone will forget it's out there and back into it! We have to move around depending who is leaving first in the morning.

Are they going to let you know when Hid ships? What country is he coming from? I hope you can track him. I love to do that with packages with tracking numbers!

Sorry to hear about your rough night, but glad it all eventually worked out ok. Yes, it does sound like Justin has had a shitty schedule working the graveyard shift every weekend. Definitely time to look for another job.

Are you still getting the freezing rain/snow today?

Hid is coming from China, but not directly to me. He is being shipped to the vendor I ordered him from who is in Canada. Then, when she ships to me I guess I will be able to track him....

Eric is the son that works the graveyard shift as you have to be 18 to work those hours. Justin works at the Jewel which closes every night at 11:00 PM.

Eric gets to stay home today since he worked all night, but Justin works at Jewel until 7:00 PM. Yes, we are suppose to get more freezing rain. Justin had to start at 11:00 AM so he got there OK as the roads are good right now. I just hope that we don't get anymore and he gets home without the hassle that Eric went through last night.

At least when Eric left work this morning at 7:00 AM things were good and once he scraped the ice off the van it was smooth sailing. He is still sleeping.

I know, it is hard for you to keep their names straight since you do not know them. Eric is oldest, Justin is the baby (even though he is 16 )

So freezing rain again today and during the night. OK tomorrow. Freezing rain again on Tues. Snow on Weds. IT SUCKS!! Good grief. I do hope they are right about no precip tomorrow so I can get dad to the ortho surgeon and get them all their groceries for the week. One day this week Eric will have to get my dad to the dentist to fix his crown that broke off Friday. That is the 3rd crown/tooth to break since the first amputation. I swear all the meds have got to be the reason. I mean no one has that many crowns break in 7 months. There has to me some reason for it other than bad luck

So Hid is already a world traveler!!! Cool! I remember when I got Clay from Happy Fish in Japan and how his coolly wrapped box was covered with beautiful stamps from his travels! It's pretty exciting to think how far the dolls come to be with us! Be sure and let me know as soon as you hear he has safely arrived in Canada!!

Back to writing notes in the Xmas Cards! They will all be done and out tomorrow!! Slowly getting ALL the Xmas stuff done!!

Have a beautiful day!!

I'm sorry I keep getting their names mixed up! I thought I had messed up one of their names earlier when you first were clarifying who was who at the post at the top of the page...so I switched the names again! Oy, I think now they should stick in my brain. If not, you are offically allowed to call me senile!

I have to color my hair tonight...gah I hate it. What a mess..., but spending the 70.00 to have it done is not an attractive alternative either!

I am jealous you will probably have your cards done tonight. I have'nt even started mine yet!

That is the pits about more freezing rain... I would much rather have snow anyday.
