So on Thursday I'm off to Vancouver for some mental R&R from reality.
I've got pretty well everything on my list done that needed to be checked off ~ with the exception of last minute chores that have to wait till the last day anyway (ie., picking-up some rhubarb tarts & bakalava from the local bakeries for my pc techboy), lay out the schedules for everyone since they don't actually live here and have a clue... and packing.
YES that means the walls ARE DONE! Or at least what I intend to do in the way of painting is completed. I leave the furniture moving and arranging to the teens. It's THEIR dressingroom afterall.
It will be good to get away from online doll forums for a bit ~ I have been keeping to the threads involving tinies for the most part ~ because collectors of the small resins seem to me to be the most laid back and least self-absorbed of the bunch. It's all about the cute ~ period. I can't seem to disengage my temper completely so time to just disengage period, and pull the plug for a few weeks.
That doesn't mean no dolls though. The Feline siblings and Bonsai Boys are travelling with me, and I will be meeting up with the owner of the online dollshoppe, Featherfall while out in BC ~ which I am very much looking forward to. On the other hand my mother is insisting I look up my fathers' cousin which just makes me cringe. WHAT is the daughter of a former AD-man supposed to say to the man who invented National Buy Nothing Day??? The mind boggles.....
Anyway I will probably be posting daily while I'm away to keep you abreast of any adventures (or misadventures) :)
Okay...off to fold laundry (not going to miss that I can tell ya)

busy
It's going to be fun visiting but also being able to be of help when they need an extra set of hands for lifting, washing, unpacking and sorting.
Thar shall also be much sushi eaten (on the Pacific coast I certainly hope so) and much Scotch and Guinness consumed ;)
*scrap of velvet*....Now what are you up to I wonder :)
