To mark the end of another milestone year in my little plastic life, here's a little slideshow movie charting MY journey through 2015 !! I hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as I have ? … Wow, what a year it's been !!
*************************
As 2015 now draws to a close, it's a time for reflection. For each and every one of us to look back on the past 12 months and see how we've spent our time, and how our own individual stories have unfolded …
How was your year ? Good ? Bad ? Exciting ? Uneventful ? Was it perfectly wonderful ? Or could certain aspects have gone better ? … Whatever the case, don’t forget that it's the BAD times which shape you more than the good. So remember to embrace your past, no matter how colourful, because it's what's made YOU who you are !
*************************
It's certainly been an INTERESTING year for us dolls, to say the least. We've had ups, downs, tears, and smiles. Not to mention the introductions of various different additions to our little plastic community too.
But on balance, when you look past the odd hiccups and wrinkles, it's been one hell of an exciting rollercoaster ride. Particularly for me stepsisters, Marguerite, who's now married. Jacqueline, who's just recently engaged. And even young Lucille, who's already having the odd run-in's with our Mother as it happens … Blimey, hey. But MY family is ANYTHING but dull !
I've made some lovely new friends this past year, and whilst I haven't quite clicked with all the new arrivals, partly because a few have rather QUESTIONABLE motives and morals too … Ahem !! However, on the whole I'd say it's been a GOOD year for us dolls, and I cant WAIT to discover what fun adventures 2016 will bring as well ? Not long left to find out though …
So I'll see you all on the other side when 2016 arrives, as I now say a fond farewell and give 2015 the send-off it deserves … After all, tomorrow, is the first blank page of a brand new 365 page book. So let's all write a good one !
Chapter 206 – “Not Such An Innocent Girl” – 1st December 2015.
Following on from the previous chapter, my well meaning light-hearted shopping spree took a rather INTRIGUING turn during the course of this concluding instalment. Particularly with regards to ONE of my siblings, who was JUST about to go all gooey and weak at the knees over a guy ... Awwww, bless !
Is Lucille REALLY as inexperienced and unprepared for such matters as I'm lead to believe though ? Or will her confusing contrary behaviour around one charming chappy in particular, give rise to even MORE questions on that score ? ... Hmm ?
Events continue to unfold of course, answers start to emerge, and in time even MORE unexpected revelations stir up further dramas. Hitting MUCH closer to home than some of us are prepared for, and by design too. Sheesh, what stirrers some people can be, hey !! ... But in the end, even I start to realise that NONE of us are spotless. We all have pasts, secrets, and agendas to a degree ... And I'm not such an INNOCENT girl myself now that I think about it ! ...
**A Special Birthday In The Most Magical Place On Earth !!**
Can you GUESS where we've been ? Hehehe :p ;) ... If you cant I'll be MOST surprised, but anyway ...
Last wednesday my beautiful daughter, Emma, celebrated her FIRST birthday, awwww <3 ... But even MORE exciting than that was the unexpected treat for the precious little cutie that her big day also coincided with our recent mini-vacation in Disneyland Paris !
Woohoooooo's all round there, hey !!
Naturally our celebrations were somewhat different to how they would
have been if we were at home though, seeing as we had limited resources
at our disposal. However we still made a BIG splash for the birthday
girl none the less, including lots of balloons and a cute new Cinderella
dolly which Emmy picked out herself as the present she wanted the most.
She wouldn't put it down all day either ... Awwww. Don’t worry
though, we made sure Ruby didn't feel left out. She had her own little
balloon as well to mark her big sisters special day, and BOTH girls were
treated like Princesses by their doting Father and I.
As you
can most likely tell from this piccy, we all had a WONDERFUL time, not
only on Emma's birthday but during our entire trip … Can you believe
that THIS was the view of the castle which we had from the balcony on
our human master’s hotel room !? Amazing, hey ?! Mind you, we all
enjoyed endless hours in the parks on the rides too, in particular
Fantasyland which is a favourite of BOTH the girls. I lost count of the
number of times we went on the teacups, Snow White & Pinocchio
rides, Alice in Wonderland’s maze, Peter Pan's flight, the Casey Junior
Train, Storybook boats and so on so forth. Not to mention the Studios
with, Animagique, the Ratatouille ride, Slinky Dog and the Genie Magic
Carpets ... Wow, no wonder I'm feeling rather tired, hey ?! Just
THINKING about it all is exhausting.
But back to the point again …
It honestly was a thoroughly magical holiday, which was made even MORE
special for Rocky and I when Emmy told us that it was the BEST birthday
ever, and EXACTLY what she wished for too !! Awwwww, bless. Sniffle,
my baby !! ... Granted it's her first birthday, so there isn't much
frame of reference for comparison there, but I still felt rather moved
by my sweet young daughters take on her special day all the same.
*********************************
We’ve been back home a few days now, but I still haven’t managed to
finish unpacking or catch up on everything as yet … Plus I’m feeling a
tad run off my little plastic feet getting the girls ready for starting
school again soon too. Blimey, a Mother’s work is NEVER done, is it ?
However, even in the midst of all this flapping and whatnot, the
memories of our perfect Disney vacation are certainly something to
treasure and are making me feel all warm, glowy, and fuzzy inside even
now … Mmmmm <3.
So I guess the only thing left to do is to wish a belated …
“Happy 1ST Birthday Emmy !”. - 23rd September 2015 -
