Milo enjoying a beautiful day!

OMG those are the best photos evah!!!!!! Milo kicking back with his pop in the chair is just priceless!

Alice in wonderland lives!!!!! And Alice and her creatures is so perfect and adorable! That one by herself is just beautiful! The wooden bench and flowers are great props for her.

I will look at these all again for longer when I get home! What fun, what fun! I hope you are proud of these and post them over at Pullip style for people to enjoy! My password has expired there and it such a hassle to get another I just have let it go over there. There are some nice people there though.

Gah, I am just drooling over your beautiful yard and lake! Your day looks so perfect! Better get back to work.

Thanks! The day is pretty perfect! It got a wee bit windy which is why I didn't take pix with the table set with the teacups and teapot. They were blowing over. I will save that for a less windy day and for when the little deck of cards arrive.

I do think they came out pretty nice! The bench and flowers did work out good for Alice.

I do love the ones of Milo chillin' with a coke! He is so handsome!

I am proud of the pix, but I am going to wait for the cards and get some shots with the cards, table and tea set and then I will post the best of all the Alice pix on PS. I want a bit more variety first. Same with Milo. When I get a good batch of a lot of different shots I'll post them.

Too bad your password expired on PS. That is what happened to me on GS. I hadn't popped in in so long that it expired and I'm sure not going to re-join!

Anyway, thanks for all your kind words. I hope I can get even better at taking photos!

Thanks about the yard! I couldn't take shots at the angle that shows the lake good because Rob was standing there hosing down the grill!

You can see more of the lake in this shot. It was taken before we put flowers in the buckets.





Rob on the patio - ON THE PHONE with work! They were predicting storms so all the cushions were brought in except the one he was sitting on!


TTYL~

I love your patio and view! It looks like a beautiful golf course community!
I really like what you have done with your landscaping too. It looks so colorful and nice! What that is quite a monster grill you have out there!
I bet that baby makes some great viddles!

Yes, you really should post some of your shots from today at PS...I think the gals will love all of them. I know how you feel about having all the right props though for the perfect shoot! I think you should push Milo's sunglasses down a bit so he is peering over them for a shot too...that would be cute would'nt it? He has so much personality!

Your photos are really good! I am so impressed with what you did! Don't you agree that taking shots outside is the best, when you can. Man, both Alice (senior moment strikes again... ) and Milo are so photogenic!
I am Pm'ing you for a shoulder.

Senior moment? You mean "Alice's" real name? Ianna

Thanks about the landscaping and patio! The patio is really large and nicely shaped. Rob did all the landscaping himself. I'll tell him what you said.! We love the views from all our windows. It is the reason we bought the lot. We are a community of custom homes. We have tennis courts, no golf course. Though there is one down the road. That is were we love to eat. Amazing food!

My Dad bought Rob and I that grill as a house warming present when we moved in. There are much bigger ones out there, and often Rob wishes we had a bigger one when we have people over for BBQs, but for everyday purposes it does work out great! He does the veggies while the meat is cooking. We heat rolls and bread on it too while the veggies and meat are cooking. It was a wonderful gift from Dad!

I will be awaiting your PM

Yes, seniormomentdollnamitis has struck yet again!

Rob did an amazing job with your landscaping. He is quite an artistic designer! My husband does some nice work too when he gets around to it, and does'nt get too cheap about materials.

That was perfect housewarming gift your Dad gave you for sure. He was a considerate sweety was'nt he?

Yes he was

Hey, he was no dummy either! He absolutely loved Rob's famous cheeseburgers! This way Rob had room to make extras and my folks always got to take some home! So he was a smart cookie too!

He loved his chow too! Nothing dumb about him at all!

You're still up!

I must go get ready for bed now...I have an early one tomorrow.

Sleep well!

Aerwin, I don't know if you ever purchase from ebay, but this link will take you to a page of sellers with "Royal/Princess" type Barbie clothes. I have a couple of really pretty ones that I got off ebay. If you purchase one from overseas it will take 2 to 3 weeks.

Barbie Princess Dresses

I guess I should have waited a day to take and post pix! I got my Cool Cat wig! I love it! I did trim the bangs a little. It fits better than the size 8 too. I cannot believe it came so fast! That is by far the fastest I eve got anything from Cool Cat.

I also got my little deck of cards and the silverware!! All tooooo cute! More pix this weekend weather permitting. We will need it to NOT be windy or the little things and cards will blow away.

Hope you all are having a great day!

Peace out!

Eeek! You got your wig already! I knew you would love it, it is a really nice quality wig and the colors rock!

Can't wait to see more photos!

Good news about Grace/Jpop, she unexpectedly refunded 16.00 for the wig that she forgot to send me...I am convinced now that is what happenned since why else would she give me a partial refund? Whatev!
I scored bigtime! I am getting a 40.00 wig for like 28.00! My faith in her is totally restored, she messed up but went out of her way to make it right!

Well, I am off to ride one of the horses! Have a good evening and TTYL!

I KNOW! The "Alice" wig that Ianna is wearing took 3 weeks to get to me! I couldn't believe it when the mailman rang my bell so I could sign for a package! It was a good day because he also brought a book Eric ordered, Justin's Bob Marley T-Shirt, and a lamp I ordered for my mom that is for people with macular degeneration. It will help her with reading.

It was like Christmas in June!

Milo's new wig is the nicest one he has! I like all of his wigs but this one is the best quality. I have gotten 3 wigs from Cool Cat and they all have been lovely and good prices. Both Ianna and Rylee are wearing wigs from Cool Cat right now - so 3 of my 4 BJDs.

I am so happy for you about the wig! Like I said, Grace has always been a sweetie to me. Can't wait to see it!

I won't be home tomorrow. Mom is treating me to lunch at Applebees thne we are going grocery shopping.

We have some stormy weather predicted the next 3 days - on and off sort of stuff. I will try to get some shots though.

Enjoy your ride!

Christmas in almost July sounds great! That is nice your mom and you have a special lunch and outing at least once a week. I'm sure she really looks forward to it. Did she enjoy herself at the wedding last weekend?

The ride was beautiful...I have just been going out to my trainer's ranch on Thursdays and riding Ardeo alone and visiting with Vena. I love the solitude of being out riding with just me and my horse. It helps clear my head and gives me a feeling of tranquility. Tonight I rode through the sagebrush away from her ranch and it was spectacular. It was in the 70's with the sun just starting to set...a few scattered wildflowers left. It is like prairie land that is wide open so now and in the fall is the best time to be out there riding. It is very hot and dry in July and August, so I have to go a bit farther out where I can ride in the trees. It has worked out perfect with the higher gas prices that I am 5-8 minutes away from my trainers place and don't have to haul very far. I am a very lucky woman.

Hope the weather allows some more shots...I know the wig color is going to be perfect on Milo and can't wait to see the full on Alice (Ianna) in wonderland shot come to life!

Talk to you in the morning!

Good morning!

Yes, you are a very lucky woman! You live in such an dreamy setting! I can just picture you on your beautiful rides in the mountains. Sounds so lovely.

Yes, I think she lives for our luncheon and shopping trips. It is the only time she gets out. I enjoy them too. Soon we will take her visiting some friends who do not live close-by and have health issues. Some couldn't even make it to the memorial. It will be nice for me to see them again also. People I knew growing up.

You are lucky to be hot and DRY in July and August! We are hot and HUMID!!! in July and August. Not a good place to live if you have hair like Justin I just bought him some new shampoo and conditioner by Frizz-eez that is called "Weatherproofing" I hope it helps him. His hair would be fine if he used gel on it like I did when he was little, but you know - a guy using gel is "SO GAY!" I guess he is not into "metro-sexual"

I think the color is really perfect on Milo too. Some day I think I want to get him a white/gray color like the fur one he came with. I love the color but hated the fur and style. I couldn't get it to look like the promo pix. If I could get it styled like that I would have been OK with the fur.

I will try to get outside shots this weekend if the weather behaves. If not I'll try for something good indoors. The dolls sure do show up nicer in the sunlight outside though.

Talk to you later!

Have a glorious day!

HA, HA. I just bought that too!!!
I am going to try it today. Oh Lord Colin spends more time fixing his hair than I do. His is slightly wavy and he faltirins it. I don't bother. I wish I lived in a drier climate. My Asthma dr says it would be good if I could move to Arizona. Yeah , right. It has been gorgeous here this week . low 80's.

FC, I LOVE your Alice photos. I want to see the burgundy hair girl though.
Luca, do you have some pics of your horses? a friend of mine just bought a Pasa Fino.

Thanks Aerwin! I promise to get some pix of Shyla outside soon! She truly is an awesome girl! I stare and stare at her sometimes. One needs to see her in person to fully appreciate how amazingly beautiful she really is! I can see why the lady I bought my girls from thinks she is the most beautiful of the Goodreau Girls!

How funny you just bought the same shampoo! Justin won't use any products but Frizz-eez on his hair. He uses their "curly" products.

I wish Justin spent more time on his hair! He is just wash and go! I don't think you can flatiron the ringlets my baby has!

BTW, we just got him contacts and he loves them! Got use to them right away. By his 3rd day with them he had them in for 12 hours with no problems. I cannot wear mine all day like that anymore. They start to bug me. Oh the joys of youth!

Colin still wears glasses. I got Acuvue Oasis last time and they are very comfortable. But I di find myself wearing my glasses more for convience.

So Colin and Justin both wear glasses, have curly hair and are seniors in HS! Cool! They have so much in common!

My contacts are Progressives Focus. I have two pair of really nice prescription sunglasses and when I go out to run errands on a sunny day I just wear those. So much easier! I also really love my new glasses and get lots of compliments on them so I wear them a lot too.

Luca, I forgot to answer your question about my Mom and the wedding. Yes, she did love the wedding, but of course it was strange to be out at an occasion as a widow We really missed him. He would have loved it! At first she did not want to go because of how sad she knew she would feel being there without him, but Rob and I talked her into it. We knew it would be good for her to get out, hear music, see new people etc. She is glad she went. We are glad she went.

Milo and Shyla enjoy a lovely morning!














That's the best I could do in hurry!

You are up and at it early this morning my lady! That wig does look just smashing on Milo! The color makes his face-up stand out more for some reason vs. the darker brown one! You did a great job cutting the bangs too!

So glad to hear your Mom did enjoy the wedding too.

Oh boy Aerwin...I am seriously in love with all spanish breed horses! My trainer specializes in Paso Finos! Your friend is going to have so much fun with her horse! Can't wait to hear more about her experience! I will see what good photos I have around of my horses. My oldest gelding, Ardeo, a Peruvian looks really good this season! Perfect weight, shiny, and his coat is at it's peak-dark liver chesnut!

Thanks for letting me show off my babies!
My amazing rescue horse Milagro...Peruvian Paso, age: unknown
estimate-14-15?

Venada: 9 year old Kiger Mustang Mare...please excuse the cheesy
pirate crossdresser!
*will find a better one of her*

I think I will have to take some new photos of my other gelding Ardeo tonight!

Gotta run! Have a great day ladies!

OMG ! Milagro has a gorgeous face. I love him. Is he sweet? He looks it. I miss my horse , but goodness I had to pick either the dogs and sheep or horses. After Sultan my thoroughbred passed the dogs won. As you know one hobby can be quite expensive. But I do LOVE horses. I've never ridden a Spanish breed . They are beautiful .

FC, I love Shyla the best.

Thanks Aerwin! Sadly, pix do not do Shyla justice at all Her "skin" color is so amazing and her eyes are so beautiful in person. Her skin color just does not photograph for some reason. "Alice" (Ianna) photographs exactly as she looks. You would REALLY love Shyla if you saw her in person.

Luca, your baby is so beautiful! I loved when you guys were pirates!

Well, Luca - I got it!! It really was a must for my Alice theme! I think Milo will look amazing! Thank you so much for letting me know just in time My mom is going to buy it for me.

Mom and I had such a nice time today!! We had a wonderful lunch at Applebees - grilled chicken cheddar mac and cheese bowl. Excellent!

We went to The Fresh Market and bought some delicious goodies for the boys like Black and White Cookies and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut cookies, Brazilian Pretzels and sweet rolls!

We went to Target and mom bought me one of the Honeywell Tower Fans. It is fantastic! Since the upstairs bedrooms get so warm with the sun beating down and we don't want to run the AC all night she wanted to get one for our bedroom. I have it on now and you would think it was an air conditioner! Now she is going to get one for each of the boys for their bedrooms.

She was at her hairdresser's house who has one in her in-home shop and my mom couldn't believe how well it cooled off the room. They are really attractive too. They come with remotes and a breeze feature. LOVE it! Mom also bought some new towels for the boys bathroom. She likes to buy us stuff to thank us for all we have been doing. Sunday we all are going to her house to help move some furniture and get rid of some stuff in the garage and storage closets.

Then we went grocery shopping. It was good weather until this evening when we got a good hard rain. The grass needed it. It hasn't rained for awhile.

I decided to bring pix of the new outfit here! I can't wait to get it! Milo is going to look amazing in it!





Luca I think I was wrong about the designer being a male. I thought the name was "Charlie Wilson", but it is "Charie Wilson".

The seller has an awesome pant outfit for a Super dollfie! It is a beautiful yellow sweater with the coolest paisley bell bottoms. I hope someday he/she makes that outfit for an MSD.

Sad to see that your new computer is not up and running yet I miss you. But it was great talking to you on the phone today! If you do not get on-line here soon I am going to start getting the shakes!!

No Luca yet??!!
