We actually left LJ before the big debacle, because it was blocked on various work filters, and went to GJ. Which went down the tubes a few months later! So there were two journal changes in the space of like, a year or so, and I still haven't gotten my doll momentum back even though this journal is syndicated over on LJ. But we (my partner and I) no longer make use of our LJs at all, since it's gone so downhill.
ahah, when we were first buying our dolls, we started the year out with none and ended it with four. O_O and the rest trickled after! The trickle has slowed in the last little bit, though it's been a good doll summer for us, and we got Nik and Zuzu.
I always love turning up unexpected doll items! Like those MSD sized sweaters, and we also live near the Boyd's Bears Factory so we've found some really cute furniture and things there.
Man! Now I want to do a good string of stories and things, but I have to find the time to sew everything and get all the sets together! ;p Our old apartment had a porch, so it was good for outdoor sets in semi-private, but not so much at our new place.
