Awww, I just noticed the event started. When I saw the first page I thought yay, its mostly wallflowers here, but I forgot to factor in the time. Oh well.

And I've never broken a present myself either...at least I don't remember it :)

@Fly: I never got to actually play or even really touch mine. I had them all in a glass cabinet.

@Kitty: I'm not so sure that the box it was in was packed carefully enough.

yeah so far it has been wallflowers and a few others. we don't know if cookie is going to make an event thread yet.

nevermind there is one.

Ah, ok. Well I don't mind talking with people I know anyway. :)

And as for presents, after a few disappointing Christmas's my parents have given up on surprising us. Now they just ask us what we want and give us a reasonable amount of it.

*ears perk up* There is!? *goes to look*

And hi Chibi! *waves*

Wow good job! :D
Now a days I try to avoid getting those fragile items as much as possible.

Surprises are the fun part. :D Although getting something you don't like is a different story. XD

yes i went and looked in the regular thread and found the link.

@Kitty: I saw that! I am now involved in 4 conversation. @[email protected] I'm so glad it hasn't gotten really fast yet.

@Fly: I don't get fragile things anymore either. Although sometimes I still wished I did. The dolls there cute.

i am in this one and the wallflower event thread. before i found the wallflower one i was thinking of going to bed.

The Wallflowers have sucked you in, huh?
I'm here, the wallflower thread, the Town Hall Ballroom, and my own Comfy Couch. @[email protected]

yes they have.

@Jelly: ^^; I see...>.< I swear my friend is getting me a Russian Doll for Christmas...I think I"m gonna have nightmares about [email protected][email protected];

Why is that Fly? Russian dolls can have really pretty dresses.

Also, hi back Jelly.

Why? You don't like them? Wait...are you talking about the ones that nest in themselves? or like a porcelain doll dressed as a Russian?

Oh, I hadn't thought of the ones that nest in themselves. I never really liked those, I mean its a neat idea but you can't really play with them beyond pulling them in and out of themselves.

oOo so that's what they're called... porcelain doll I thought they were Russian dolls for some reason...o_O; learn something new...they're cute but the thing is I keep remember this story about the doll staring at you and then having them say "Play with me, Play with me..." and then comes tugging at your sleeve...>.< I don't mind looking at them but owning one is a different story for me.

i have a porcelain doll. i have had for a long time now.

I have many porcelain dolls, but like everything I never really took care of them. I was a pretty destructive girl growing up. Not intentionally, it was more just carelessness.

@Chibi: My grandparents brought one back when they lived in Russia for a time, and I found a way to play with it. xD I just love the fact that they're all hand drawn. Some of the "dresses" are beautiful.

@Fly: Which is why mine were always locked up in the cabinet. They creeped even me out sometimes.

mine is all dusty.

i am going to bed now good night everyone.

night kitty

And Jelly that sounds really neat. The closest to Russia I've ever gotten was I had a friend in high school who spoke Russian. She was neat, she was awesome.

Good night kitty!

Hahahaha...I can see why you guys lock them up. XP How much does one porcelain dolls cost anyways?

It really varies, you can find some small ones for as little as $5. Most of the ones I get are between $10-20. However, some companies have to feel special and charge gobs of money. For example, I heard American Girl dolls are over $100. (I believe they are also porcelain).

O_O wow...that's expensive...a $100....
But then again not as expensive as those BJD dolls...>.<

Night night Kitty.

I can't remember how much most of my dolls were. They varied between $5 and $150 sometimes. It depended on what manufacturer we went with I think. And those BJD's are insanely expensive!
