Here's another chapter of "House of Pullip" for your viewing pleasure. :P Enjoy!

Chapter 424: That Singing Guy )

Bonus Photo:

Taryn and Madeline are enjoying a little bit of snow...yes, SNOW! It did actually end up snowing. :D It came down pretty good for a few hours, but it didn't really stick much. Still if was fun to see since we just don't ever really get it here...I miss it! Anyway, since it wasn't sticking I thought that letting it fall on the dark haired dolls' heads and snapping a photo before it melted would be the best way to capture it. I know it's not much, but I'll take what I can get. ;)

Here is the new chapter of "House of Pullip"! I hope you enjoy it...I went outside to get the photos and it was freakin' cold and windy. It supposedly might snow on Friday. That's nuts for southern Texas! But we shall see. Anyway...onto the story...

Chapter 423: Friendly Support )

Annoying non-paying buyer is back at my Etsy store. If you remember I complained a week or so ago about a buyer who bought something but didn't pay for it. When I pressed them they said they would pay me as soon as they got payment for something they sold on Ebay. *sigh* Well, she finally paid and the rest of it was fine. In one of my messages I told her, "In the future if you buy from my store again, please note that I expect payments to be made immediately at the time of purchase. If you don't have the money at that time it's probably best to not buy from me until you do. Thanks for understanding." She's a fairly regular customer, which I appreciate, but I was hoping she would take the hint and not repeat this delay of payment habit she seems to have. But no. She bought something three days ago...almost four...and again, no payment. This time I referred her to my store policies (which ironically I changed because of my last experience with her). It would be nice if she would get a clue. :\

Speaking of my Etsy store, I have had the worst luck making a banner I'm pleased with. I'm going to take one more crack at it (I have a new idea I'm hoping will work better)...but if that fails I might just give up and buy one from one of the many sellers on Etsy who sell custom made Etsy store banners. :P

It's Cameron. He's ready for flight. :P

Happy Monday! Well...maybe...mine was not as productive as I was hoping. Anyway, I did get this newest chapter of "House of Pullip" ready. Please enjoy it!

Chapter 422: Making Changes )

Do you like The Muppets? Then you have to watch this video. One of my contacts on Flickr had a link to it and I rolled on the floor laughing when I watched it...I just wanted to share the hilarity. :D



The bit with Animal is my favorite part. XD Mama? *snicker*

Yep, it's Cameron and he's back here:


But this time, Cameron is here to stay...that's right, he's mine now! Allison wanted to rehome him so I kind of begged and she agreed to sell him to me. :P Anyway, I'm very happy he's here and here to stay!

More of Cameron's Homecoming This Way... )

Yay, new chapter of "House of Pullip" for you on this Black Friday (in which I avoided all stores or shopping of any kind...heh). Please enjoy! ;)

Chapter 421: Need To Know )

Bonus Photo:

This shirt was meant for Phoebe (my Dal) but when it finally got here it is just way too big to be practical for Phoebe. However, there are no words for how perfect it is on Taryn! I love it on her so much. So I'm happy...even though poor Phoebe is sulking in the corner. :P I suppose I will just have to make her more things since I'm striking out on buying her anything that is working at all.

Yay, new chapter of "House of Pullip" which will explain a bit about what happened in the last chapter...not that I think many people need any clarification, but it will give more details about what they were thinking. Anyway, enjoy! ;)

Chapter 420: Listening )

Bonus Photo:

Petal in a little hat I got from Allison for Penelope. But hey, it fits Petal too so I figured they could share. :D

Non-paying Etsy buyer finally messaged me...but did not pay me yet. She says she is waiting for something in Ebay to sell so she has funds to pay for it. :O I mean...what?!? I don't do layaway for crying out loud. What a jerk. Plus she never said exactly when she intends to pay for it, only that she will. This is extremely annoying. I haven't messaged her back yet, because I'm waiting to make sure I don't say something I will regret later, but I think I'm going to say something like, "For future reference take note that when you purchase items from my shop payment is expected immediately" probably along with some kind of deadline for payment. Because, quite frankly, I don't give a crap about whatever she is trying to sell on Ebay, this is really lame.

/vent (but if I'm overreacting let me know)

And so this isn't just me blowing off stream about a non-paying buyer, take a look at the new overalls for Lati yellow I finished today and listed in my store:

Here is the newest chapter of "House of Pullip"! :D

Chapter 417: Fatherhood )

How long should I wait to cancel a sale on Etsy with a non-paying buyer? Etsy's policies don't really specify, they just say payments are usually expected immediately at the time of sale (duh, that's what I also stupidly assumed) but they also suggest sending the buyer a friendly reminder if they don't pay. So I did that but I haven't heard anything from them or received a payment. I can still get my listing and transactions fees back from Etsy if I have to cancel so that's not an issue, I'm just annoyed because this is wasting my time. Plus, because of this stupid non-paying buyer I had to update my store policies with information about non-payments...which should be OBVIOUS! Anyway, I just don't know how many days is a reasonable time to wait when, really, I expected the payment days ago when they committed to buy my stuff so yeah, I'm really impatient about it right now. :\

Bonus Photo:

This is Sabrina, my Fanatica. I always intended on keeping her completely stock...but I finally got fed up with her stock wig. It's a pretty wig, just really frizzy and it takes a lot of time to keep it looking nice. Anyway, I decided it was time to try out a new wig so I've been keeping my eye out for another black wig, just straighter and without bangs. This one came up for sale on DM and I snatched it up. I love it, it's exactly what I was looking for! I love how you can see her eyebrows now...but she looks sweeter then she really is. :P Anyway, it's like having a whole new doll, but she's still Sabrina.

Chapter 414: Frustrations )

I hate the US mail right now. How long does it take to ship something from North Carolina to Texas? Apparently more then 10 days...that's just ridiculous and I'm sick of waiting. :\

Bonus Photo:

My 16cm babies are modeling the five new outfits I finished up today and listed in my Etsy store. :D

And...another new chapter of "House of Pullip"! Yes, I know I'm on a roll but I won't be updating tomorrow and maybe not until Wednesday. It just depends how quickly I get some other stuff done until I can get back to it. Until them, please enjoy this chapter. :D

Chapter 412: Bad News )

Bonus Photo:

It took many tries but I finally got Reilly, my PukiFee, to do a single foot stand. ;) She's so awesome and cute, too.

I know, I'm getting behind on these chapters...but "House of Pullip" has an update today. Plus I also think I'll be able to get at least one (maybe two) chapters up this weekend. We'll see...for now, please enjoy this one. :D

Chapter 410: Ultimatum )

Bonus Photo:

Here is my new boy again, Another King. His wig still isn't here (I'm hoping next week sometime) but I did decide on a name. I'm calling him Gideon. :D I realized after I picked this name that HRD used to have a Hash named Gideon...hope you don't mind the name recycle, Allison. ;)

After a tiny delay, here is the next chapter of "House of Pullip". I've had to reorganize a few chapter but now I think I've got it figured out...anyway, please enjoy! :D

Chapter 409: Catching Up )

Good news: I put Laszlo (my Jade) up for sale yesterday and immediately got a buyer who paid. He was sent out this morning. That was painless. It's about time. I hope his new owner is happy with him. :D

More good news: I finally sold Trunk! Hopefully I'll be mailing him out tomorrow. He's going to Hawaii...which seems oddly fitting given his tan-like skin tone. :P

Oh...my little sister has an Etsy store. I would like to invite you to take a look. It's not dolly related, she sells hand-crafted jewelry and prints of her artwork. I've always been envious of her talent. Anyway, she plugs my Etsy store so I wanted to return the favor. Please give her a little visit!

Bonus Photo:

I bought this totally cute little hoodie jacket from Lisa's ([info]ambitiouslove) Etsy store. It's so darling, I love it! And so does Madeline. :D

Phoebe wearing a new outfit. I always wanted a dress from megipupu (on Etsy) but I never really had a doll to put it on...until now. Plus I saw this and knew it would look great with the knitty hat! Fun stuff. :D

Chapter 407: Waiting Games )

Bonus Photo:

My new doll arrived today...and yes it's a Taeyang Another King. :D He was on sale at VotD and it was too good of a deal to pass up. Anyway, I wasn't going to take photos until his new wig came...but he's so gorgeous (even more so in person) that I couldn't help it and took some photos. I wasn't sure about him before he got here, but now I'm sure. Totally worth it!

He doesn't have a name yet either. Working on it...

Of course, I already decided that to make room for the nameless/wigless guy one of my current guys will have to go. I'm okay with that. Anyone on my flist interested in a Taeyang Jade with his original wig and his complete stock? I'm thinking $75 shipped in the US. Let me know if would like him. I'm sad to let him go, but I really can't let my collection get bigger. It needs to get smaller or stay the same size and I haven't bonded with Jade as much as I would have liked. :(
