About my First BJD Doll Elvira Dollchan
Elvira is the first bjd doll I ever had. I got her for my birthday about three years ago. I was going through like a weird bored phase. This was before I started with the Artsy Sister Website. Anyhow, I was looking online for a nice looking doll when I ran into Ball Jointed Dolls. I studied the price of the doll for weeks. I was between this one, and her brunette sister. In the end, I went for the blonde, blue eyes bjd doll. After making my purchase, then began the waiting game. As with most handmade things, I...
Cuban French Toast or Torrejas Dessert Recipe
Torrejas is a pretty common, and popular Cuban dessert. It is not treated like a breakfast meal. It can be eaten with ice cream as well. I have tried it with vanilla and strawberry ice cream.

I think everything will get better when the weather gets wet. Rain just seems to make everything better. The pool is now looking fine indeed. We might go out there to take a dip, when the weather heats up. I was going to write something yesterday, but there was something thickening my eye. You remember that silly song? It was in one of those...
Blue Floral on a silver Background
The days have been starting to run together. Mother is quite exhausted, as all. It is very tiring to be worrying so much. Still, she can’t help it because she has a job in the real world. The gasoline is at least pretty cheap. It lasts for almost two weeks because she only has to go out for work. Brother person gets out to the yard every once in a while to clean the pool. It is important to try to maintain it. Once the heat comes back, we can try to spend the plague there. The trees are still...
