Here you will find the site archives...at least the ones that aren't lost:P All past updates, past layouts and such can be viewed here.

Happy New Year! Seems like it was not that long ago that I was typing that...where does the time go? I haven't really done a lot in the way of dolling since last update, a few challenges and such. I still enjoy it, and will continue to do it, I can't ever imagine stopping LOL but with less..vigor than in the past I guess. Seems like there is so much to do and never enough time to do it!

Some new developents in life for me... Will be moving again sometime in the next couple months, to a different suite within the complex we live in now. We don't have a solid date, it's come down to: a suite will open up and/or repairs will be finished, we look at the suite and if we like it, get the keys and start moving in!
I've had the honor of being asked to help as a Moderator at Apple Kingdom with the great Ladies and Gent there :D
I've been focusing alot more on traditional art...the paper and pencil kind, in the last few months and have started an Art Blog (link can be found in the "Me" section.)
Other than that, just the normal hustle and bustle of having 3 school aged kids LOL

I am hoping that this year I am better able to balance my life and interests...the last bit it just seems that I have been running from one issue or obligation to another with no thought as to what I really want to do. I'd like to change that, and fit my hobbies in as a priority instead of an afterthought. And, I'd like to update this site more often than twice this year LOL

09/12/06

I started an update in march (below) and am just now finally finishing it after a long break. I have not done may dolls in the last 3-4 months. Many reasons...Real LIfe getting in the way, lack of time/inspiration/oomph, and it didn't help that my graphics program went haywire on me! Now that the site is finished, I will at least be hanging around the forums more, and that always results in a new creation! There are still links missing and base credits that I have lost...as always, drop me a mail if you know where they belong! Have a good visit and here's to a new update...finally!

03/13/06

I have completely changed the organization of the site. It was about time I guess? It's not the first time either mind you :P
I have replaced the old navigation menu in favor of something a little more user friendly. I also changed the way my dolls are organized on the site. Instead of by type, I have arranged them in chronological order.
I rejoined the Realm, so watch that page for new stuff as well. Forum pages should be reorganized as well. Mainly I'm going for less complicated and more logically organized here, not sure if I'm there yet :P
And, of course, a new layout. This one is dedicated to my muse, Papaya in all her egotistical and demanding glory. :D She lives in the chaos of my brain so...that should explain it all!!!
Lastly, I'm going to try and shorten up this page considerably...no point in listing all the new stuff here when you just have to check thepage for the current month to see what I have been up to :P
Pages with new content added will have beside them.
So here are just some of my favorites since the last update :D

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season and that the New Year brings many good things!!
It was a busy time of year here, many funcions and errands to attend to throughout December. I haven't done any dolls since the middle of November so none of them are very new LOL I have a few things planned but I really wanted to get this site updated before I created anything else that had to be put here, there is plenty as is!
I think I will be revamping parts of the site in the coming months, but for now, just an update.

09/15/05

Well, we are all moved and mostly settled in. Lost my whole website again!!! But I think it's totally safe now as my wonderful Delta Dolls Sister, Garnett, has hosted my site :D Wasn't that nice of her? :D
On the homefront...all three of my munchkins are now in school (Gr.2, Kindergarten, and Preschool) and I recently got a job as relief staff for a local organization. It's taken some getting used to their schedules and being prepared to work at a moment's notice but it's been good all in all.
On the dolling front...most everything I've done in the last 2 months are either gifts, av's and sigs for forums, or challenge dolls...some adoptable, some not, so make sure to read carefully!

07/15/05

It's been a busy couple of months with the kids and their activities and also some personal things going on. We were notified at the end of May that we have to move at the end of our lease, August 31st. So I have been spending a lot of time packing and cleaning and looking for a new place. It came as a bit of a surprise, I wasn't really wanting to move again this soon, but hey, what can you do? Also, the place I was hosting the site with last, deleted my entire account so yet again, doll site moved!! This time, it's with my IP so it should be relatively safe here...I hope!!
On the dolling front, I asked ltl_mama to be my sis...she said yes, just hasn't gotten to a reply doll :D I have a whole bunch of new dolls in this update.

05/03/05

Time for another update and boy do I have a lot to update!! I have a new sister, Dmystry!! She is such a wonderful person and great friend and I am so honored to be her sis :D
I am now a Delta Dolls Pledge at Fractured Fairytales (woo!!) and so there is a new page just for all the fun there :D I'm also a part of the Holiday Committee there as well which is a lot of fun :D
I have a whole bunch more blinkies (there's a surprise) and some new adoptions, and a whole bunch of new dolls, nearly all are not adoptable as they are gifts or made for something special. New adult stuff as well.

03/18/05

I can't beleive it's already been nearly a month since the last update! A lot has happened since my last update, in my dolling life. Most obviously, a new layout. I joined Eden Enchanted (new page for stuff from there). I have made a number of new dolls and a few new pixels, I adopted a whole bunch of new blinkies and I have my very first sister site!
Gryphongrl
I was also chosen for the "My Best Doll" Competition at Fractured Fairytales...on the same day as Gryph asked me to be her sis...and I had wicked luck that day in neopets as well lol I was literally in tears of happiness that morning!! I've had a really great time at FF, seen lots of great dolls, met lots of great people!!
This layout was inspired by dmystry, gryphongrl and litl_mama...I have had such fun chatting with them and they are such wonderful women!! We live too far away from each other to be able to have a real "girls night out" but that doesn't stop us from having one here :D

02/26/05

Ahh..a fresh start...again...lol I'm hoping this is the last move this site will have to make. I would have left it at fateback, but for some reason I cannot access it...I have requested my password but it will not send it. I take it as a sign...plus those banner ads are really annoying and messed up this layout. So..since we have a new home, I changed around some stuff on the site. If you've been here before, you will probably notice. I added a page for Fractured Fariytales, Pixels, and Bases. And of course, there are lots of new blinkies, a couple new adoptions and a few new dolls. Also, added a new counter as I'm not sure how accurate the other one was as the code for it is on a bunch of pages all over. I created it September 20, 2003...I guess that would have been the start of my doll site..wow...that's a year and half ago!

01/02/05

Happy New Year everyone!! I got my computer back, so I lost zero files after all (YAY!!)
I haven't had a lot of time for computer art since we moved, in October, I started taking a class to open my own day home, which finished up in the middle of December. Then of course, Christmas came through the house like a hurricane (more like the kids did!) and so hopefully now, back to a normal routine we go!
I've been slowly going through my link pages, making sure everything works, and have noticed a lot of really great sites are either on hiatus, or just gone.... it's really hard to keep up with changing sites, so I am just going to leave things as they are for now.
New things...well, as you can see, a new layout! :D My Amy Lee one was up for a good 8 months, so I figured it was time for a change and I wanted to try something new. I'm really hoping that the positioning turns out ok on other people's computers...I apologize if it looks crazy, I'm still learning and experimenting with tables and such!
New blinkies of course...
My first base!!
only one pose...one skin tone. I made it a while ago, for the Jarred Up contest at Truffs. I had planned to make more poses.. but...well, let's face it..a base maker I am not at this point!! So, feel free to use it with a link back of course...it can be edited in any way you see fit. All I ask is that if you do edit it, let me see what you have done and I will add it here with a credit to you :D
I'd also love to see dolls made on it, drop me a note! :D I may someday run a base edit contest with it i think..so no using it for a base edit please. I think that's about it. :D

Sorry for the lack of updates on the site over the last few months. Joe moved for a job at the end of May, and then the middle of June, me and the kids moved as well, with 3 solid weeks of packing in between. We spent 2 months living with my sister and her fiancee while Joe looked for steady, stable work and we looked for a place of our own. We ended up moving again right at the end of August, just in time for Aron to start school! :D
Then, when we had the high speed internet hooked up, we discovered that our computer had finally packed it in...508 errors in windows, all but 7 were fixable, so windows has to be reinstalled. Of course, my Key is in a box at the old place! So I am borrowing my in-law's tower until I can get the other one sorted out.
So if there are missing base links for now, it is for that reason: I usually go through my saved bases when I am posting the dolls and find the link on my list for updating my links page. I have neither the base files, or the list right now! But I will figure it out and post them for sure with my next update.
I have done a few dolls since my last update, most of them are gifts, or non adoptable dolls...I think i may have lost one... but for the most part, I made out pretty well in the file department as most of my dolls are here, on my sig host (www.mischost.com) or my best friend had copies of them.

March 2004 Joe had a car accident and I put my site on hiatus for about a month.

03/12/04

I've been spending a lot of time at the realm, so I haven't been looking at a lot of doll sites, but I sure have been making a lot of dolls. So no new adoptions or links this time, but a few realm blinkies on my blinkies page! Site of the Month:
Josie's Dolls
Josie's site was one of the first ones that I came across, while looking for dollmakers, that made me really stop and look at hand drawn dolls, and wish that I could do that. Also some of the first tutorials I looked at were the ones on this site. Definitely lots of wonderful dolls on this site, a dollmaker, tutorials, and bases!
I won my first ever 1st placeaward!!! I was so suprised and happy!
I ordered a whole bunch more stuff from the shops in the realm, be sure to look at the gifts page to see it all.

02/10/04

*Sigh*...frustration sets in again!! Frustrated because I haven't had time to keep this site updated, and frustration at the fact that Bravenet won't let me use frames....I want to change a few things about this site, I'm thinking of putting it on our ISP webspace that's sitting there unused, but that's an awful lot of work...on a dial up modem, one file at a time....*bleah!!* So I'll probably just leave it here the way that it is until I am so sick of it that I *have* to change it! LOL Maybe in a couple months. I'm trying to redo my family website as well, it's been basically the same setup and graphics for 5 years, so I'll probably try and get that done first.
Site News:
Added a whole bunch of fanlisings, finally got my toybox on here, not the way I want it mind you! Hence the frustration about no frames...New links, and a whole bunch of new adoptions..mostly on the Music/Movies page and games page. And a few new blinkies.
Site of the Month!
Art Dollz
I visited this site last night...oh wow!! The graphics on the site itself are amazing in their detail, the dolls are just wonderful...there's a really cute dollmaker there, as well as bases and tutorials.

01/22/04

Site Changes:
I've decided, since I have been pretty lax on the updates, to have a Site of the Month instead of Site of the Week. I'll feature a new site starting the beginning of February.
Not much in the way of new dolls, just 3 this time. A few new adoptions and some new links.

01/08/04

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I got CorelDraw 9 from my mom for christmas, so I have been doing a lot of learning on that program! It's a lot easier to use than PSP 3 (yes...verrrry old program!!) but it's a lot different, so it's like starting from scratch again. I am very pleased with the results so far. I lost about 4 dolls though...one I forgot to save (how the heck do you do that?? Don't ask.) and the other 3, the program shut down on me, but that's probably cause of my crappy computer. Anyway, new site of the week and lots of dolls, adoptions, and even a few new links!! And, my first fansite thingy...that lil Uni over there in the navigation bar.
Site of the Week:
Xandorra's Place
What can be said about this site....wow covers it!! There are tutorials, dolls, bases, graphics, blinkies... basically, everything! It was one of the first dolling sites I ever visited, my first adoptions are from this site. So, go take a look ...you could be there a while!

12/11/03
Site of the Week:
Moonpixel Dolls
This is really an amazing, all around site. There are, of course dolls, but also the graphics that are offered there are definitely worth the mention as well!! There are gorgeous dolls and great doll makers, both unique and of the classic variety, as well as a bead blinkie maker. There are some great tutorials, wonderful bases...take a look at this site, it is definitely worth the time you will spend there!

12/04/03

Site of the Week:
I don't know if it's just my computer, but I haven't been able to view Originz of Dollz for the last few days, so I am going to leave it up as the SOTW for this week in hopes that it comes back!
Other Site News:
New layout, of course...very happy with this one for now. It's my favorite color..so..hey. Lots more new adoptions as well. And also, a linking banner!

11/28/03

Site of The Week
Originz of Dollz
This site tells you how it all began...it's a really interesting site with lots of great artwork, a dollhouse maker, lots of dolls to adopt and edit, as well as doll trading cards!

11/20/03

You may (or may not ;))notice that the site finally has a decent name....New Moon. This comes from a poem written by my great aunt that passed away last month...she was an avid writer, she wrote some of my favorite poems. I've got plans for a page with the poem on it...hopefully by the next time i update, it will be here...oh yeah, and maybe the links page will be too! lol (it's not working yet...sorry about that.)
Site of the Week!
The first site to be honored with my Site Of the Week is....
*****drum roll*****
Wings Of Spirit
I spent about 3 hours at this site last night, checking out the numerous sections of this multi faceted site. There are plenty of things to look at. There is poetry, beautiful artwork, dolls, bases, a dollmaker, and downloads...my personal favorite being the Jareth Screensaver!!

11/18/03

After a really creative day yesterday, I battled an evil computer virus and hopefully won...I hate viruses. Then I decided this site needed a "little" update which, naturally turned into a major overhaul.
The dollmaker-made dolls, while fun, have given way to hand drawn dolls...so they now occupy only 2 pages instead of the whole site.
I have actually made enough hand drawn dolls to put them in categories!! WOO HOO!! Ok, so there's only maybe...one or two in each one..LOL
Other Site Changes:
My adoption section had ballooned into about 6 pages. There is some beautiful artwork in there, take a peek! Link page has finally been added! And...of course...more blinkies added!

Started adding my own hand drawn in November.

Moved to Bravehost in September 2003, still featuring only drag and drops and adoptions.
