My life has been a whirlwind of things (insert your own words for bad stuff going around). But it is calming down. I got a job, and a new quarter started at school. I finally found the BJD I want, I died a little inside when I saw the price. Since it will be my first doll I’m going to pay the extra $50 for a face up. And I even got a 50 year old (give or take a few years) sewing machine, no foot peddle, but hand crack.
