baldylox Posted December 30, 2012 The finale is here! This is the last installment of Christmas photos for my girls. Everyone has opened their presents and are relaxing a bit. DSC_9522 by balldylox, on Flickr The MDD girls have decided to let Sprout take a nap but they gave her some protection in the form of stuffed kitty cats. DSC_9523 by balldylox, on Flickr Mai - "It's so sweet to see Hitomi fitting in. She just curled right up on you Manami!" Manami - "I didn't even try to get her to either, she just kinda crawled over and climbed up on me. But she's warm and too cute to move." Ryomou - "You're too snuggly and lovable to not want to curl up on!" DSC_9524 by balldylox, on Flickr Lenny and Squiggy are a little tired too. DSC_9525 by balldylox, on Flickr E - "So you want to help me do magic tricks?" R - "Sure! I think magic is so cool!" DSC_9526 by balldylox, on Flickr Y - "Sorry about glomping you so hard earlier.

DSC_9531 by balldylox, on Flickr "Pssstt... Papa. What about the gifts from Santa?" Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Let's get those ready! DSC_9532 by balldylox, on Flickr Okay girls, we have a few things left! Santa left yall some things over here! DSC_9540 by balldylox, on Flickr I'll get them down so it's easier for yall to see them.

DSC_9547 by balldylox, on Flickr That's right girls. As soon as I saw they made one of these I had to get it for you. I've been to the real one in Japan and it's super cool. DSC_9548 by balldylox, on Flickr "You ready to get your butt cut Yoko?" DSC_9549 by balldylox, on Flickr "Bring it Miyuki!" DSC_9552 by balldylox, on Flickr "Is it ok that you two are so into this?"

You're so sweet Elisabeth!" DSC_9556 by balldylox, on Flickr Miyuki - "SCORE! Take that!" Yoko - "How did you get past me?" DSC_9557 by balldylox, on Flickr Yukino - "Maybe you zigged when you should have zagged?" Yoko - "That's the first time anyone has scored on me in air hockey!" DSC_9558 by balldylox, on Flickr So everyone is settling back in for a leisurely day. DSC_9559 by balldylox, on Flickr E - "Awww! All you girls are so cute napping!

Thank you for showing us these wonderful photos! Thank you very much Mitsuki! I've actually had that bed for a while now but never used it because it was too small for my DD girls. I had almost forgotten about it until my Mom gave me that comforter.... it was actually made by my Grandmother YEARS ago. I'm not sure if it was designed for dolls to use but it fits the bed really well so I'm glad I have it and can use it. I'm glad you enjoyed the pics of the girls. It's good to know all the work made someone smile. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravendruid Posted January 2, 2013 This whole set of stories was really amazing. I can't even begin to contemplate how long it must have taken, or how much work went into it. This was truly a great Christmas present. The girls were all so adorable. even the ones I don't normally pay as much attention to were fantastic. All of your new gals seem to be fitting in very nicely. It's great to see everybody getting along so well and having so much fun together.

All of your new gals seem to be fitting in very nicely. It's great to see everybody getting along so well and having so much fun together. Thank you so much! I was beginning to think no one liked these stories. It did take a really long time to do them all, I pu tin about 8 hours on Saturday and another 2.5 on Sunday doing them. And my knees hate me for it. I'm glad you enjoyed everyone, even your non-faves. The new girls do seem to be fitting in well so far but maybe that's because they were adopted around the holidays and everyone is in very nice moods....

Ravendruid Posted January 3, 2013 I don't think anybody hates the stories. I think it's partly to do with timing, EVERYBODY is ultra busy this time of year. I know that at least a few of us work retail, and our jobs just get insane around the holidays, not to mention family obligations, school, everyone doing their own Christmas stories, etc... Also, extra long stories can be a little overwhelming to get through and reply to. By the time you're finished it's hard to remember the bits at the beginning that you wanted to comment on. I think the same thing tends to happen to SK when she posts longer stories, as well. I know I love reading really long stories, but I always have a terrible time knowing what to say afterwards. Finally, with so many new Holiday photo stories all coming out at the same time, I know that for some it can be very hard to read through them all, let alone reply to all of them. I know I haven't gotten to nearly all of the ones I've wanted to, especially between my new job and my hard drive deciding to kick the bucket. So, don't take the low number of replies too personally. I think you've made a lot of people very happy, it's just kind of crazy around here right now. I do hope your knees forgive you, eventually. Knees, along with backs, can be some of the least pleasant body parts to have annoyed with you. Daddy of: Yuriko, Sohi, Miku and SK's many kids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted January 4, 2013 Thank you for the kind explanation Raven. I know people are busy and all and that's not a big deal. It's just disheartening to see something you poured your time and effort into kinda get ignored. But I largely do these stories for me so I don't take anything personally unless I get comments attacking my girls. That would really suck. But that rarely happens so no biggie. I'm not in this to get attention and comments tho, I'm here to have fun and make friends and enjoy my girls as well as others girls. So I'm not down about low comment numbers or anything like that. I just figured I'd say what was on my mind since I feel at home here and have lots of people I think of as good friends here. And your comments above prove that very well. Thank you again sir, I do appreciate it. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kushina Posted January 5, 2013 Please don't be encouraged Billy! I finished your Photo Stories a minute ago and I loved them!!! It was so much fun to see your girls and all their presents, the different shots and the personalities of them. And especially the love you put in everything!!! I really, really liked your Stories! (And to be honest: I was always unsure if Mikuru is a cute dollfie or not, but when I saw your picures of her in her pajama it was like: OMG she is incredible cute, so I'm really thankful right now! ) I would really love to write more about your stories, but if the nurse finds out, that I sneaked out of the hospital bed again to check the forum, she will defintley kill me So my replys have to wait till I get out of here I hope you feel a little better now!

Thank you very much! I hope you're out of the hospital soon and feeling better! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

evilbluepoptart Posted January 7, 2013 wow They got some REALLY awesome stuff!! Where did you get that air hockey table and the skateboard for your girls?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted January 7, 2013 wow They got some REALLY awesome stuff!! Where did you get that air hockey table and the skateboard for your girls?! Thank you! The air hockey table was from Walmart, they had them out right after Thanksgiving along with pool tables for $9.95 and since I have a pool table for them already, I grabbed this one. The skateboard is from a Taobao seller but I didn't buy it, Misskale got it for me since she was doing an order thru them anyway. So I don't know the exact seller of it. But I think they come up on ebay so you may want to check there if you're after one. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

evilbluepoptart Posted January 8, 2013 Oh that Misskale! she never answered my questions on the PM I sent her haha. I wish I was good with taobao but it is SO confusing. I order stuff for my lolita fashion habbit as well from there but It is a little easier from the few stores I use because no shopping service is needed. But I am not sure about the DD stores...Or even which to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately I don't know when it will be open again. There's a link to the store in the original thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SisterKyoya Posted January 10, 2013 Thank you for the kind explanation Raven. I know people are busy and all and that's not a big deal. It's just disheartening to see something you poured your time and effort into kinda get ignored. I read through all of them too and really enjoyed them. I have just been trying to be very conscious about just rambling on, I could have gone on for pages squeaking about the cuteness but I figured it would annoy the heck out of everyone. And spamming your PM box didn't seem like a good choice either. Sharing the stories is what really sets this hobby apart for me, even when I'm just doing it mainly for myself I do like to share my DD life with my friends on the forums. I hope Manami and the other girls we were able to make cards for liked them. Tama wanted to do one for everybody but I didn't have that much time. Maybe once everyone was done reading the stories they didn't say anything because it was death by cuteness. Often your stories get a lot of replies so I also didn't want to have an overwhelming post that took even more time for you to figure out what to even say to my weirdo gibberish. After the last couple of episodes I'm kinda afraid of myself. (And to be honest: I was always unsure if Mikuru is a cute dollfie or not, but when I saw your picures of her in her pajama it was like: OMG she is incredible cute, so I'm really thankful right now! ) Thank YOU for that! I love my little Elisabeth and I've always thoguht she was super cute. I'm glad you also see how cute she can be! Is THAT who she is? I have been hugely curious for ages! To me she's about as adorable as your MDD, and I actually like the MDD (in general) better than the DD. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think doing all these kinda wore me thin and I had to take a break from them for a bit. But I'll get back to doing them soon. I'm glad you like my stories and I appreciate all your comments to them. Don't worry about bugging me with comments, I read all of them and enjoy them too. Is THAT who she is? I have been hugely curious for ages! To me she's about as adorable as your MDD, and I actually like the MDD (in general) better than the DD. Ha ha! If you wanted to know what head she was you could have just asked me you silly person! She is indeed a Mikuru and I find her totally un-Mikuru-like. LOL Compared to the anime version of Mikuru, this head mold doesn't really remind me of her much. But that's the great thing about Elisabeth, she's ALWAYS been Elisabeth to me and she stays that way because she couldn't be anyone else. And thank for the compliments on Elisabeth... even tho I love my MDD girls because of their cuteness, Elisabeth will always be my number one girl for super cute power!

SisterKyoya Posted January 10, 2013 Ha ha! If you wanted to know what head she was you could have just asked me you silly person! I know I could have, but I'm trying not to sound like that obnoxious little girl in the toy store saying "I want that one, and that one, and that one..." I was pretty sure that the sculpt wasn't named Elizabeth, but when Raven and I do run across the sculpt we call it the Elizabeth head. Every time I see your Elizabeth I think how cute she is and it's a sculpt I might want to track down someday. She (the sculpt) really needs to be around more! ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's too funny you guys call that head the Elisabeth head. I totally agree with you about her not being around enuff. I think she's way cute *IF* you don't have her as Mikuru and do like Salica did and give her a different persona. Elisabeth DOES act a bit like Mikuru tho with how she's kind of shy and doesn't like scary stuff but she's opened up a bit more due to having a large, protective family and sisters like Sango that keep an eye out for her. I'd love to see more people with Mikuru girls around as I really enjoy seeing how people setup girls that I own. Like when I see how other Mai DD's look, it's cool as heck to know how different she can look but still be a Mai. And as a bonus, here's Elisabeth being totally silly and adorable!
