Happy Thursday!

So my doggie decided to get up a little earlier than I am use to but at least I got a shower in and I am wide awake now. I can always rest later on. I can hear the H.S. band practicing this morning. It is 60 degrees so I opened my kitchen window for some fresh air.

I don't think we are keeping this weather long so I am going to enjoy it as much as I can. It has been a super hot, record breaking heat wave fall! Wahhhh My favorite time of the year too. : (

My schedule is a little off this week so I am not sure which doll to finish up today. I think it will be an auction doll. Hopefully tomorrow I will be finished with two commission dolls. They are so close!

Better go get busy! : )

Now what did I do today...

First off I finished another commission face. That means I have two dolls that still need their hair and body work but I am feeling pretty good about it! I will take a lot of pictures soon and show them off. One is Sonja from Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and Dalia's Dolls made the most amazing outfit! I am so lucky to be able to photograph this doll in her perfect little costume. Can't wait to share!

I managed to prepare super health food for the 3rd day in a row. I have been playing with fresh herbs to get all of the flavor and it really works. I am also buying fresh and less so I won't waste anything.

Oh yeah - and I started Resident Evil 4 over again from the beginning. No big guns... starting from scratch. I never thought in a million years I would ever really enjoy a video game but Wii changed my mind. Love it!

This game took several weeks for me to finish the first time around. But then I got all of these big machine guns and it was much easier. Then it got boring so that is why I am doing it over again.

Darn SNL - they took my video down. Oh well...

What is everyone looking forward to? I have a few things I am looking forward to.

ICE at the Gaylord Palms



Seeing New Moon!!!

Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights at Disney



The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal will be opening in the Spring of 2010

Just a few things that are coming up that I can hardly wait for!!!

Finished up a face today..

on a commissioned doll. She is a Honey Antoinette which I think may be my favorite skin tones of the Antoinettes. I like Spice too. They are all good I just especially love Honey. Tomorrow I will be working on another commission and I just looked at my Google Calendar and noticed which doll I will be working on and I haven't finished that reroot! So I am going to finish that up tonight.

Been watching QVC! I know - I should stay away but it reminds me that Christmas is only 44 days away and puts me in the spirit. After all - I will be decorating the tree in a couple of weeks! WOW - I love pulling out my ornaments that I have collected for over 20 years now. It just makes them special.. I remember mostly where I got them or who gave them to me.

Now that I know I need to reroot I am going to do it right now. It is almost done but not quite yet. Glad I saw that on my calendar!

I had to post this! Too cute!

I am a big Taylor Swift fan and I just have to share this. This was from Saturday Night when she hosted SNL.

Well - it is November already...


In Florida we had record breaking highs over the month of October. It was so hot here. It is still warm but now we will be getting rain from that hurricane. Rain is fine but always hoping for a cold front. When it comes to this time of year I really look forward to cooler weather. So far we have had a couple of cool days and that is it. Wahhh

I scheduled out my entire month so I could get those commissions completed before the New Year! It will be 2010 very soon. What happened to 2009? Christmas is in 44 days! And no - I am not ready. Though I do buy all of my Christmas paper on sale after Christmas so I am set there.

I didn't post my Dorothy I finished yesterday. I am going to repaint the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Lion too and will have those available later on. Hoping to breath life into them. They are so very cool.

Guess I had better go eat some breakfast and get this ball rolling.

Happy Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!! LL

So I woke up late...


dang it! I forgot to set my alarm and just slept my morning away. I guess I needed it. But now I don't feel like playing with my two dolls. I want to start early on them. Instead I think I will do the house cleaning today and finish up the dolls tomorrow.

I will work better in a cleaner environment anyway!

So off to get Roxy up, eat something, and then clean clean clean!!!

Check out my newest inspiration. I want to do some kind of evil mermaid and I found this picture which is very close to what I have been thinking - not exactly but close...
