Another Morning Drive thru Southern Guam!

I took these photos last week Thursday as I was returning home from dropping Taby off to school. She missed the bus that morning, but it was a nice way for us to catch up on life and on school! I hope you enjoy these photos of Guam?!

In the mornings when I bring Sara out to the main road from our house. This is what is happening in the skies above, as we wait for her bus to pick her up... A Beautiful early morning sunrise!

The drive below after leaving Taby's high school, which is about 30mins. from our home. I travel along the Southern villages of Santa Rita, Agat, Umatac and finally Merizo before arriving in Inarajan...

 Mt. Lamlam is our tallest Mountain on Guam. I love the drives along this road, mainly because its more scenic, less traffic, and traffic lights to deal with! Whew!

 Above, now in Umatac village, once I pass this curve, and below, as I leave Umatac and head towards Merizo. You can begin to see just a bit of "Coco's Island"!

 A closer shot, below, of Coco's Island between the tree and pole. This island is a nice little getaway, but can be very expensive to go too. First, you will have to book your visit, arrive early to catch the ferry. But, at least it comes with a lunch meal, during your visit on the island. There are a lot of water sports and exploration walks you can go too while on the island. This is also where most of our birds stay and thrive.

 

 A photo I took a few weeks ago after the girls and I went to gas the car... It was a beautiful early evening as the Sun bidded us farewell...

This shot above is of one of our busiest villages, called, "Tamuning"! This doesn't actually show how busy it really gets, but it is one of the areas we often drive too to get to all the stores, and restaurants.

Thank you for reading about my Island of Guam! - ggsdolls

Our Christmas Tree, Cell Phone Pics, and Aika!

Early this morning I decided to take pics using my cell phone... Here are the results!

 Our Christmas tree this year is the same tree we got last year... But I am just surprise at how well my cell phone took some of the shots! LOL

 Yup, never thought to use it before... so out of touch these days!

 There are other features on my cell, I could use to take interesting shots with, like vignette, or sepia tone, depth of field... hmmm, the possibilities!

I also took some out of box shots of Aika below, using my ipad and then my cell phone...

 Aika by the tree... My fave shot below! She reminds me of a porcelain doll with her outfit!

A Few Yahoo Goodies for the Shop Are In!!

Here's what came in the mail today from Japan and Stateside!!

 From Yahoo Japan, I received a Mitsubishi colored pencil case with pencils, Ribbon wedding paper doll set, vintage plaid pencil case, and nostalgic colored pencil Lot.

 Then, I also received this large lot of vintage felt Christmas ornaments from ebay!!

 Some to be added to my collection and most to be added to the shop later today!! The lot included cute mice, pandas, dogs, and cats!

 My collection of colored mice! The two at the top are one's I already owned and now, I've added two of the same, actually similar, cuz the new one's have soft flimsy bodies instead of the more sturdy ones at the top. Also a white mouse!

 These cute dogs will be added to the shop today!

 I've always seen these large Band Mice, I will probably keep them!?

 Sleepy mouse too!

 My pandas above, the lot included two girl pandas, so the boy panda in the center is not lonely!!

 Smaller cute mice felt ornaments, I will add a few to the shop!

 A closer look at the Mitsubishi colored pencil pink case with pencils above and below. I will add this to the shop as well!

 This one has a handle for easy carry! The artwork is a knock off of Miyako Maki style art!

 Nice, minty pencils, and unused!

 Amazing nostalgic colored pencils! I found a lot of five, a few will be added to the shop!

 I have an older version of this pencil from the 1970s, but these are similar and you can change the colors by replacing the color at the tip! Each pencil is new and unused!

 Then, I won this vintage plaid pencil case above. The seller even gave me some vintage pencils! How nice! To be added to my collection!

 Above, a photo of the vintage new plaid case(left), and my actual pencil case(right), from High School! Yup, I kept it all these years!! It was my favorite pencil case too! And still being used today!!

 I was able to win this amazing Ribbon Paper Doll Wedding set. It was already put together, but I just love the bride and groom! Definitely Miyako Maki's artwork!

 If you look carefully, you can see the previous owner, used a paper handkerchief for the bride's dress and both the groom and bride, have cute floral accents on them!

 There is a dragonfly pin on the card. How Cute! If I am not mistaken, you would get this type of kit when you buy a Ribbon or Margaret Girls Manga, and then put it together! What fun!

More goodies to arrive soon for the shop this week!! Hopefully?!

Figma Free!: Haruka Nanase Out of Box!!

Oh my goodness gracious!! If you love amazing looking anime guys, then you must get this awesome Figma Free! Haruka Nanase Figure! I briefly posted that I received him here in this post... But today, I had time to take him out of box and pose him along with my Konami MMS Shiori!! Enjoy, the sexy shots!!

 Haruka is amazing, his body is very poseable just like other figmas. The nice feature is that you can dress him up, because he is in his default swimsuit!

 He is my first guy figma, and I must admit he is just too gorgeous or as my teen daughter would say, "He's hot!"

 You will have three facial expressions to play with, along with hands parts, goggles, and stand.

 My MMS hybrid Shiori looks amazing with him in her MMS body bathing suit series too!

 I think my favorite face plate is this one above and below. He looks so coy and sweet! I know that this figma sold out somewhat fast. You might be able to find him thru secondary market... He'll be great for 1/12 scale scenes too! It will be interesting to see the other guys from this series when they are released!!

Thanks for looking! - ggsdolls

Been Really Busy These Past Few Days!

Oh my goodness, its been really crazy busy these days. Today, I finally had time to go through my mail and see what came in!! So enjoy!

 I pre-ordered via Walmart, Studio Ghibli movie, "The Wind Rises."!! It arrived quickly to me and we can't wait to watch it!!

 I won these two cute vintage felt ornament pair of bears from ebay, thinking they'd be a great addition to my collection of felt bears ornaments!? But when they arrived to me, I was very surprised to find out that these are larger versions of the felt ornaments! At least 5 inches tall!

 Here they are above with my regular versions! So cute and so big! I hope to find more of these large sized ones for sure!!

 My pre-ordered Pure Neemo doll Ex Cute 10th Classic Alice Cheshire Cat Aika Poyo Mouth Version is here!! She is a lot larger than I expected as well. But I just couldn't resist seeing her in person!

 Then, I also did a pre-order of the Free! Haruka Nanase below! I couldn't help it, he was just to handsome to pass up! I can't wait to take him out of box and take some photos!! It's nice to have a boy in this size too!

 Oh my, so handsome!!

Finally, I received a Lot of Lotte Licca toy furniture sets. These sets are a bit different than my current collection. They must have been from a later series. Still all the sets are one's I don't currently own, whew!

 Above, the sets unopened and below after the opening and completion. The sets included a cabinet, piano, bookshelf, dresser, telephone, and Kotatsu table.

 The instructions for these sets, have Licca paper dolls you can set up with them!

My collection of the sets above and below...
