Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Tea with Teddy

Lia decided to relax and have tea with teddy after the meet yesterday and is using the lovely new tea set given to us by our friend Oni.

I'm using one of the new backdrops I recently purchased from Rai Hing.

Saturday

Friday

OMG I've Lost My Eyes!

Hopelessly, frantically searching for my eyes that I purchased from Luts some time back and I can't find them anywhere. I know I put them aside in a safe place so I wouldn't loose them, but now I have forgotten where that safe place is. Have you ever done that? It's almost as frustrating as waiting for a new doll to arrive!

I had such great plans today to do a little customising. Some of my girls were sent to me with eyes that are bright, unnatural colours and I am not enjoying the dolls as much as I should be. I really wanted to get that done before playing with my pastels. SIGH! Oh well, what will be, will be.

Have a meet on tomorrow, must REMEMBER to take my camera so I can share lots of photos with you all.
