by David Smith Tri 3D is the three-dimensional strategy game from PaNic Games , which aims to appeal to serious strategy game-players and family boardgamers alike. Split over three levels (which will strike a chord with Star Trek fans who remember Spock’s 3D chess), the game can be played by two or three players, who attempt to surround or corner their opponents’ pieces. Pieces can be moved one space at a time and can jump between the triangular levels for surprise attacks

I recently joined a webgroup that is posting a picture a day of ONE of their dolls! I honestly don’t think I have 365 dolls (my husband & kids probably think differently) but it’s been lots of fun – and I wanted to share with you! First of all is pictured my Raving Beauty doll* – I got her when I was in 4th grade. She had to attend a Dolly Spa because this is what she looked like several years ago: Sad isn’t it? But she refreshed nicely and stands proudly in Millie’s Studio! (We won’t mention that’s she’s waiting for the creation of the blue taffeta dress she arrived in!) Others wondered if she was a composition doll but actually after World War II, the doll industry began using hard plastic for dolls including Toni and Ginny dolls.

The one and only Lulu of Lulu’s Stabby Critters would like to unveil what she has been working on for well over a week and a half……………. Drum roll please That’s right a circus themed table set up……The idea got stuck in my head when I saw a couple of display items on ebay that I thought were super cute but made no sense with my current set up.  So of course I had to go with it and figure out how to convey a circus tent on a flat table,  what do you think?  I’m very happy with how it turned out…….I love the idea of the critters being part of a travelling side show and I am the ringmaster of course so they better behave or I’ll crack the whip.

This past weekend was the Memorial Day weekend and, as such, that got me to thinking about Memorial Days in the past and about the fact that with the passing of my Mom in January that my brothers and sister and I are now “the oldest generation” alive for our family. Boy, when I was younger I never thought I’d see that day.

Scored this from Hasbro’s 2 figures for S$25 promo. I’m impressed to see how far Star Wars have come with their articulation. Since picking up 2002′s GIJoe’s 3 3/4 figures, I’ve been wondering why Hasbro couldn’t translate it to all their toy lines

Last night I dressed two of my Gene dolls in fashions recently acquired. They are waiting to be photographed and I visualized them looking over their shoulders as they retreated from the front of a stage on the last night of their performance. In a few days I will have begun to attend my first and last Gene Marshall convention.

Several weeks ago my husband and I watched the HBO series “The Pacific” and I have to tell you that I was almost moved to tears by it. Not just because of how horrible it must have been for the soldiers who fought in the Pacific, but because my Dad actually survived it

Thought I’d show you a little bit of what I’ve been up this past week, lots of pinning, sewing and painting and emergency trips to the fabric store……..got to be honest though it’s taking much longer than I expected as I had hoped to be all done by now,  ah well the best laid plans of mice and men and all that……..squeek. So that’s all your getting for now as I really want it to be all finished for next week,  and I still have a load of bunting to sew.   Which is another exciting breaking news story this week………I think I may have finally figured out my sewing machine,  so exciting!!  but of course I don’t want to get ahead of myself as I really only sewed a straight line………but still,  I’m very proud of myself as the line was (mostly) straight ahhhhhh progress. I also (somehow) got some lil cutie cupcakes made And added them to the shop

Comparing glow sticks with flashlight, one would notice that safety glow sticks can glow brightly for twelve hours, and they are lighter than flashlight.  Using safety glowsticks, you can be rest assured that you will no have illumination issue.  With flashlight, you cannot be sure, but to take backup batteries.   A glow stick produces light based on two chemical ingredients.  Glow badges are simply glow sticks in badge shape.  They can be stick on clothes or on furniture for decoration.  There are usually two sticks of 1” or 1.5” long inside the badge. So to make a glow badge glow, the mini glowing sticks need to be broken.

This took longer than expected as I thought I could complete it in the same weekend as Unicorn mode. I was slightly surprised that HGs these days have so many parts, and even my 80+ crocodile clips mounted on skewers weren’t sufficient to clear all the parts at one go. Again, a simple spray paint job which involved applying yellow, dark blue, grey and gunmetal, and finished off with a
