New Pal

Hey guys!
How is everyone doing?

I've been hanging out with my new Cheshire friend.
He's so lucky...he's moving to Scotland next week.
I hope he'll take lots of pictures to send to me once he gets there.

Anyway, things have been a bit mad around here since he appeared!

In other news, I got my first real paycheck from working as assistant photographer at Scribble Dolls...and I kinda already spent the whole thing. I'll have to show you what I bought once it gets here!

Moving

Last week was crazy!

I know it looks like I'm in an episode of Hoarders, but actually I am helping The Keeper move.
She had been trying to sell her house for a year, and last week it finally sold.

As you can see, there was tons to do...which is why even I was recruited.

Thank goodness we had tons of boxes! The Keeper and her husband have WAY too much stuff!

I decided to take a break in my favorite room in the house.
The Keeper had the hardest time saying goodbye to this room.
She got teary eyed every time she came in here.

This room was her son's nursery.
She and her husband spent many hours painting a mural in here for him. It turned out pretty awesome.

This is just one little glimpse of the room. The mural covered all four walls.
They always knew they'd have to say goodbye to it, but it was still pretty hard.

The Keeper keeps telling me selling the house is a positive thing, but I get the feeling she's just trying to convince herself every time she says it.
I mean, if it was so positive, why did she shed so many tears?

Anyway, I'm just glad she let me come along to lift her spirits.
I'm happy to report it's been a few days and she's feeling much better about it now.
She promises me that this is a sign that better things are coming.

I know one thing...I hope we don't have to move again for awhile. That was HARD work.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I know I'm way too late about wishing everyone a merry Christmas. Sorry about that...I was just having too much fun with the new toys, I guess!
Did you guys have a good Christmas though? We sure did!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to 2013.
I'm hoping it'll bring lots of new adventures for me and all my friends.

Anyone making any new year's resolutions?
I'd say my resolution was to lose weight (since that seems to be a pretty common one), but dolls don't seem to have that problem.

Anyway, I hope you guys have a great time celebrating tonight...and be careful if you're going out!
We're just going to have a nice quiet evening in the doll room tonight. No wild partying for me.

Happy New Year!

Finding the Perfect Tree

Hurry up, Bea! I want to pick out the perfect Christmas tree!

Hmph. I'm cold.

If you'd worn a jacket like I told you to, you wouldn't have that problem.

I choose this tree. It's by far the best one out here. I must have the best tree.

Um, Bea...? Don't you think this tree is a bit...well...

...big? We'd never be able to fit it into the house, let alone our room!

Whatever. You pick your own silly tree then.

This one looks more like our size!

Pastel, that thing is no more than a glorified twig.

Hmm. I suppose you're right.

Let's see if there's something else out here...

Will you hurry up!? I'm cold...and I'm tired...and I'm hungry. I want to go home!

Uggghh. That's it. I'm getting a fake tree.

A New Job

Hi guys!

First of all, thank you all so much for the birthday wishes.
It meant a lot to me.
My friends all surprised me with a party...it feels pretty good to know I'm loved.
I can't wait to share the awesome present The Keeper and Scribble got for me.
I still haven't taken pictures of it yet...I know, I know...I'm way too lazy.

I'm really sorry I've been in such a funk lately.
The Keeper and Scribble finally opened their online shop and they've been working nonstop on it ever since.
I guess I was starting to feel a little left out.
Scribble had a talk with The Keeper for me though.
They decided I needed a job...so you're now looking at the new Photography Assistant of Scribble Dolls.

I get to pick the perfect spot for photographing the dolls.
(Yes, I am walking around barefoot in the cold. That's just the way I roll.)

I have to make sure their hair is all in place.
They have to look just perfect for the photos!

But my favorite part of the job...?

I get to spend special one on one time with each doll.
These girls get nervous about having their picture taken and getting ready for their future homes.
It does sound pretty scary.
I get to spend time chatting with them and putting them at ease.
The Keeper tells me I'm pretty good at that part too.

Anyway, how is everyone out in blogland?
Are you getting ready for Christmas?
Now that I'm starting to feel like myself again, I need to get the other dolls in the Christmas spirit!

A Special Day

 

Hello there. I am Porridge.

I know we've never met before. I prefer to stay behind the scenes and let Pastel do all the blogging.

I decided to make an exception today though.

You see, today is a very special day.
One year ago today, a little box arrived in our mailbox.

At the time, The Keeper was seven months pregnant, working crazy long hours at her work, and preparing to move.
She was pretty sad and very stressed.

She decided she needed a new little friend to "add some color to her life."
And I'm sure you've guessed who that little friend is...Pastel!

Pastel has been a little down lately.
The Keeper and Scribble have been hard at work on their own projects, and I know she's feeling a bit rejected. I'm pretty sure she thinks we've all forgotten her birthday is today.

Little does she know we're about to have a surprise party for her.
I'm sure she'll be on here sharing all the details with you guys in a few days.

I wanted to pop on here though so you guys can have a chance to surprise her with some birthday wishes!

Anyway, off to finish cleaning up (The Keeper is SO messy in this room).

Oh, and nice meeting you all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, you guys!

I just wanted to say how thankful I am for each and every one of you.
It's because of you all that I continue to have my adventures.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Sorry things have been a bit quiet lately...there's lots of behind the scene stuff going on around here! I'll be back soon...I promise!
