Appeal for Missing Teenager - Andrew Gosden, Missing Since 14th September 2007


I spotted this on the back of a toilet cubicle door in Magor.

As a mother of a teenage boy it touched my heart so I took a photo to hopefully raise awareness and help him to be reunited with his family.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time of his disappearance in 2007 he was 14 years old.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew has been missing from Doncaster, South Yorkshire since 14 September 2007.

Andrew was seen on CCTV cameras coming through King's Cross station in London on that day.

Andrew’s family are extremely worried and there is concern for his welfare due to to his age. He can call the Runaway Helpline on Freefone 0808 800 7070 for confidential advice and support.

Andrew is 5ft 4ins tall, of slim build with collar length, light brown hair and brown eyes. It is thought Andrew will be wearing black jeans, a black T-shirt and black trainers.

Andrew may be carrying with him a black canvas satchel with patches of rock/metal bands on it.

More Photo-Silliness!


I made this for a guy I know Because he lives in his own little world!!

I just wish I could remember which online Editor I used now, I thought it was called "Image Makers" but I've just Googled it and *sigh* I can't find any that make images like this one now, I guess that will teach me to take note of the online applications I use in future!

If I do re-discover it in the future, I'll update this post, after all you may want to use it yourself one day!



Paper Rose - 2nd May 2009

I made this paper rose from a template I found on Canon Creative Park ... I've scented it with rose oil...



If you wanna make one...go to Canon Creative Park:

1978 Rubber Miss Piggy Before Restoration

Below is my 1978 Rubber Henson Associates... She was pretty scary when I got her, as you can tell from these pictures!







The restoration is now complete and I have been showing off my handiwork in my Doll Collectors Group, because one of my Dolly Friends donated Miss Piggy to me!

I have uploaded these pic's and the "after" ones to my Dolls Group: http://evelynsgroup.multiply.com/photos/album/371/1978_Rubber_Miss_Piggy_From_Angie_-_Restoration_

Lol ended up with 31 comments about this restoration!

So I uploaded these pic's onto my flickr photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/demonicangel1975 too! now I'm just waiting to see just  what happens there!



My latest Mini - Make!



Four "12 inch Blythe sized" readable magazines:

Aqua Blue: Asian Dolls - Clothing Catalogue.

Natural Life: Household Goods Catalogue.

Travel Plan: Wildlife Magazine.

Miniature Making vol.24!

Lol I don't think the clothing catalogue was such a great idea tho' you should see the price of the shoes lol and I just know Blythie's gonna want everything and I'm gonna look into her big eyes and have a real hard time saying no!!

I have new rement...Wooot!!



I love the attention to detail in this set so much, even the Tequila bottle has a tiny slice of lemon that goes in the top and acts as a stopper!

And I guess it looks like Blythie's having Mexican for dinner tonight!!





Interesting L.B.E Stuff I found 31st May 2009



I Found this on a website yesterday, along with the other LBE pic's here...

Side panel doll pic's look very similar to Blythe so I have emailed the site and requested information ..will update this as soon as I hear from them. LBE Box ( New Dolls?)


Appears to be orig' run marketing but not too sure...hmmmm


Original Packaging.

Verrry interesting...
Honestly I certainly do hope they re-release them.


Demonic Angel 1975 Pro User says: 
Yes...me too...esp' if they have pull strings *grin* not sure if I want them to be so Blythe tho' I think they're cuteness was half to do with the fact they were different...also not sure how this will work out as I read that Takara was the reason for them being discontinued - they had a major hissy fit as they said the dolls were too Blythe -like (after they bought the rights to Blythe) and said it was a copyright infringement apparently .... hmmm... curious a?!


This set was Favorited on Flickr, but unfortunately it had to be removed from my photostream as the images are not my own, and so doesn't adhere to flickr guidelines :( sucky




I don't know what this is but I want one!




If anyone knows what it is or where to get one.. please let me know! 

Thanks..

Oh and also, does anyone know why it has "After Them" written on the picture and how does this relate to the cuteness I see before me?





Petite Blythe -Treasure Hunt



This is too cute!!


I really want one of these now I've seen this video lol the power of advertising!!


Noeluna says: 
Haha really cute ^^

*Grin* ... I Know!
My son who's never liked Blythe (He's Pullip Mad) saw this and straight away said.."I want one!"
Lol



Dal Doll with Doll!



I wish for a Dal like this one *sob*

I also wish I'd liked dals when they were dirt cheap *sob* trust me to only fall in love with them when they go spendy :(



Russ Berry Monkey



It was being sold by a doll's group friend of mine :( 

I didn't have the cash or I would have bid on him!

I don't know what type he is, except that he was made by Russ Berry, but he's old... not terribly old but at least 10 to 15 years old.

I think it must be the fact you can stick his fingers up his nose that appeals to me!!


The First Emperor's Terracotta Warriors



I just love this image...unfortunately another one I have had to remove from my Flickr Photostream, due to their silly rules, odd how they allow other people to post pictures that are so obviously not their own images, ho hum!

Aaron and I went to see this exhibition when they brought them over from China this year.

It was actually my second time of going, I went to the first exhibition in the Early 1980s when I was a child, it wasn't in The British Museum though, and we had to climb down a ramp to the statues, we could walk around them and touch them then though!

I found the exhibitions fascinating both times, for the fact that these awesome things were made, and life-sized Horses and carriages too, which much have been so hard due to the technology available at the time to produce them, then couple those things with the fact that each one is individual as no two people in the Emperor's Army were alike it's mind blowing! 

The other reason I found this exhibition so fascinating is because they had addition information that they either didn't have last time I went or I was too young to take in... so the comparisons between the two exhibitions also fascinated me!

We had a great day out in London and I took Aaron to Buckingham Palace so we could watch the "Changing of The Guards" too as we had an overnight stay in a Hotel before coming back home to Wales, so all in all it was a really fun and memorable experience for us both.




Hello Kitty Street Racer Ferrari



Man how cool is this??

Well I'll tell ya.... It's So cool...I don't even care it's pink!

Picture photoshopped by Ryan Alexander for a friend - Nice going Ryan! 

Although that has of course lead a lot of people to assume that this car is the real deal and circulate the picture around the internet as a Hello Kitty Limited Edition Ferrari!

Everyone I show it to loves it as much as I do!!

Viewed in my Flickr photostream 60 times and favourited once!

Sorry everyone but Flickr rules mean I have to remove it and put it here instead :(

It was also part of the Flickr Hello Kitty Pool and linked to hellokittyjunkie.com website! 

So that really sucks that I had to take it down, fortunately there are no stupid rules on here for posting and I can pretty much do and say what I like "Yay"!!




Hello Kitty Bus



I could happily live in this awesome bus *Grin*

It's a Hato Tours Bus and can be seen on YeinJee's Asian Journal: yeinjee.com/asianpop/hello-kitty-bus/

or on thier website: www.hatobus.com/en/index.html

This bus has at time of deletion from my Flickr Photostream had been veiwed 40 times and favourited twice!

Deleted because Flickr have stupid rules and will not answer questions properly after taking 4 days to reply :(

It was also part of the Hello Kitty Photopool on Flickr, from where it was added to hellokittyjunkie.com... an awesome fan site!!

ho hum!




My Pet Shrunken Head!



I'd always wanted a Shrunken Head, and happily I found this one for sale.


 The seller said it was real, but of course it isn't! 





Not that I really mind as it's so well done, I just love it...


This is the sale pic' I still haven't got round to taking any of my own yet...ho hum!





Snow White Simba Doll


This is the sale photo...her dress is beautiful...I bought her just so I could steal it and use the dress for Blythe! 

Unfortunately it's a little big and this doll is in such good condition it now seems a shame to turn her into an Ooak, which was my original plan!

The dress is way too big for my Blythe, not that it matters (she did look cute in it though!) I've decided to leave her as is, as there is nothing I could do that what improve her, so I have now started gathering The Seven Dwarfs to keep her company, partly for the reason I just gave, but also because they are really well done, just perfect when compared to the Disney film!

My Replacement Dolls House



Here's a little story about how I lost my 2 dolls houses...

I had a 1950s triang which my cousin gave me (it was her Granmas) and also a 1970s Geebee (Big) one too...full of what I now know to be Barton & Lundby furniture I even had some stuff from the 1950s too! ... I had a full family of Barton people...the parents and children lived in one house and the Granparents in the other, and they'd visit each other have tea etc...I used to spend all my pocket money on them ...

For the last 20 years I've been pretty gutted whenever I see anyone playing with a dollshouse on tv etc...esp' after looking on ebay and seeing how much everything I used to have all goes for :(

I really don't know how I lost them both, but It happened when we moved here when I was 12...

All I have left from those original dolls houses is 1 rubber baby doll who somehow managed to get herself seperated from the rest and stayed with me!

I packed My 2 houses and my furniture and families etc all up so carefully and watched the boxes being loaded into the van along with my sindy, Barbie and Princess Leia dolls and we followed the van to Wales...when they stopped we did...

I helped unpack it too all my things I'd labelled with my name so there should be no mistakes and the van was empty when it drove back to the hire company.

All I know is on that day I lost most of my childhood treasures and have been spending the last 20 years wishing I still had them and the last few years trying to replace them...kinda sad I know but when I hold something like the ones I had when I was small ... I get such a warm fuzzy feeling inside I can't explain!I

My childhood wasn't so cool, the only things that helped me get through it was the imaginary worlds I created with my dolls, they were my safety blanket keeping me sane...well almost!

But I look at it like this...everyone's got something they do to let off steam, some go to the pub every weekend, some buy everything they can so they can be just like thier fav' celeb, some buy shoes, some go on hoiliday several times a year...I don't do any of that I just try and get that warm fuzzy feeling back deep inside where it belongs!

The other day I won this Dolls House on Ebay it's a Triang ...similar but not quite the same as the one I lost...I got in a bit of a fight for it lol but in the end I won it for £12.00 + £10.00 Postage!

It's a doer-upper but it makes me feel good to see it sitting in my room!

I'll be putting up more pic's as and when I've collected more stuff and done the needed restorations, wallpapering etc...watch this space! 




☠ Omg...I have Swine Flu!! ☠


 I made this little paper toy yesterday and couldn't resist pretending to sneeze and then throwing it at Aaron!

He stole it :( ...so now my Son has Swine Flu instead!!

If you also want to have "Swine Flu" go to www.cubeecraft.com and download your own!!

Testcard F - Picture insert


This thing has always creeped me out..

It's the way the girl has just stopped dead still, like a statue...mid game, so she can stare straight at you with a weird expression on her face...(there's something very evil about that expression)

Then there's the fact she's not afraid of that clown thing, which creeps the hell out of me & must be alive 'cos she's playing noughts and crosses with it.

I always thought it was a odd looking balloon but now I can see it's legs I'm even more freaked out... after all, if it's got legs that means it can chase after you!

Anyhoo, They say a problem shared is a problem halved so I've put these 2 pic's up here in the hope someone else will share at least half the nightmares this thing has always given me.



purple_ebren Pro User says:  You know, I never realised it was only a clown. I always thought the body was another toy ~ shows doesn't it what you gloss over.

Mind you, we only had a B&W for all my childhood, so alot of the details were prolly lost on me anyways . . .

Demonic Angel 1975 Pro User says: lol awww bless...yeh we had b&w for a while too...it's still creepy in that too lol
