Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days. I have been so tired in the evenings I am finding myself in bed by 8pm. Ah well, it is on work nights….sometimes even Friday nights! It's probably from the stress of work and such.
STILL no word about my custom accompaniment order. One thing I don't have is patience. I know the Lord's trying to get me to have more, but I'm just one of those who likes to hear from someone as to how things are going. Besides, since this place did forget to add background vocals to some of my tracks, the least they could do is send me a status email. I hope I am not going to be scammed, because I already paid in advance for these tracks and expect them to produce them...I guess they're just really busy. If you would, agree with me in prayer regarding this situation and also that the Lord works more patience in me. I will not let my flesh, or the devil, win!
In other news….I did find an accompaniment track to “Hope To Carry On” by Caedmon's Call! Yaaay!!! I'd been wanting it, and found it under “Modern Worship Soundtracks” on Praise Hymn's site. So, another new track to add to my list. I have sooooooo many songs that I want to sing…some I can get accompaniments and some I cannot…hence my having them “custom made.” For example, the first song I had an accompaniment track made of was Susan Ashton's "Alice In Wonderland," a song about being selfish and not caring about others. I am always saddened when I find Christians who are too wrapped up in their own little worlds to not care about others (hey, there's another good song about that – “My Own Little World” by Matthew West). We are not to be like this world, and when we are so engrossed in ourselves, our lives, etc. we are doing exactly that. Jesus does not want us to be this way. We are to let our light shine, let the world see that there's something (or should I say Someone) different and look for opportunities to share His light and Gospel with others. So what if they don't like it. The important thing is to plant seeds! If we do even that, then we've accomplished something. :)
Got the Bratz Boyz clothing lot yesterday, along with some clothes for my Dawns from my friend. Woohoo! I didn't have a Gary handy to show, but I did pick up one of my FC guys so he'll be our model.
This first pic shows that some tops fit them, and some don't.
This is supposed to be a hoodie (I think), but it’s so big and the sleeves too long.
The hood part isn’t really a hood – there’s a hole in back, prob so it'll fit the Boyz heads better. Aside from that, I like it. Too bad it doesn't fit well. I wonder if it'll shrink with a good wash.
Well, this one's a little better but it's still kinda big for him. Look at the size of that pocket! It takes up at least 1/3 of his upper torso!
This one fits very nicely. It's a black t-shirt, and it's not too long. Maybe a little loose, but not enough to keep me from putting it on my guys.
There's 4 other outfits included in this set: a light blue sweater, a winter jacket, a white tank top, and a brown suede-like jacket. Right now, from what I can tell, the tank top is probably the only thing that'll fit Gary and his pals nicely without shrinkage or anything. So, out of 7 outfits, 2 work well and 5 don't. I'll wash the rest and pray that they shrink.
Of course, there's also pants and shoes included, but the pants are way too big for Gary – he could easily get lost in them – so I might sell or swap those. I'm now wondering if the Bratz Kidz Boyz clothes would fit my 6.5” guys. They're similar in size, and I know the Kidz girls ones fit Dawn really well…have not had any luck getting Kidz Boyz clothes. Instead I have to buy the complete doll with outfit. Drat. I'm not really fond of the Kidz dolls. I like Bratz dolls, and I have many of them including nearly all of the new characters (still need the newest Twiins) but I don't care for the Kidz. They're cute, but not my style. Maybe I can sell the Boyz nude on eBay, or trade.
Now for my next arrivals: Mini Flatsys!
Now how could anyone resist these little cuties? They aren't perfect, but still cute. I enhanced them just a bit by giving them pupils in their eyes. They didn't look quite right without them, the eyes seemed to “glow”. Now they look more normal.
The blonde on the left is missing the trim from her dress, which is not in the best of shape. The brownette on the right has green thingys (patches?) on her overalls which are falling off from age.
From what I can tell, you can't remove these outfits either. Which is probably a good thing, since these dolls are so small that dressing them would probably be difficult.
I do have some larger Flatsys and I like them too, but these mini ones are appealing to me more at the moment.
One last update for today – my “fakey Gail” in progress:
This is as far as I've gotten with her. She may not look like much now, but in time she'll look fab. You will forgive her for not wearing any clothes, won't you? I wanted to get a piccy of her like this (in progress that is, not nude) for posterity.
OK that’s all fer now. Bye!
