ESG: Movie Scavenger Hunt #2

(Segundo round: allá vamos!! Bells, como antes, estás invitada a hacerlo. Cualquier otra persona que quiera hacerlo, también está invitada. Pero, por favor, usted otra persona (sí, usted), si lo hace, let me know)

A movie with a character who has the same first name as you have.
I've never watched a movie with a character who had my name, so I had to get some help from my friend IMDb. Apparently, in this movie there's a character named Fiorella and it's portrayed by Anita Zagaria.



A movie with an open end.
Is it a dream? Or is it not?

A movie with an animal that speaks.


A movie that is a musical.


A movie you are planing to see.



The first (or one of the first) movie you ever saw at the cinema.
I can't ever remember if it was Snow White or this one



A movie that made you cry.
I try to run away from crying movies, but I was a kid when this one caught me unaware



The most hilarious movie you have ever seen.


A movie that takes place in Europe.



An animated movie that is not Disney.

ESG: My collection!

If we've met in a swap that involved pictures before, chances are high that you've already seen part of my collection, and that's because I collect dolls and I love taking pictures of them.
I've had dolls since I can remember. As a kid, I had mostly Barbies and knock-offs, and I still have them, because I love them and even when I didn't play with them anymore I couldn't just give them away. Who knows what kind of life would they had in another household? I was sure nobody would love them as much as I did (and still do).
Then, when I was in highschool, before Facebook existed, fotologs were a thing and, of course, I had a couple of them. I followed some Spanish guy's fotolog and then was when I first saw Blythe dolls, and was love at first sight. Of course they weren't the kind of dolls that can be purchased at a toy store. I had no idea how to buy them, and I was pretty sure they were quite expensive, so I didn't even try to ask for one.
Years went by and I stopped thinking about them until one day, out of nowhere, a friend bought one (Hola Bells!). She later explained me that that particular doll wasn't an original Blyhte, but a knock-off, but for both of us it was just like the real thing. I offered my amateur sewing skills and I became one of her oficial seamstresses. Bells introduced me to the doll hobby and I kept sewing hoping to earn enough money to buy one of these dolls. Before that that happened, she and my mom plotted behind my back and surprised me one day with my first doll, Robin

Robin's first picture

Robin was an one-way ticket. Since her arrival, 2 years ago, my plastic family grew up to 11 members but, most importantly, I've met beautiful people in this hobby and made friends for life! The doll community is amazing and full of inspiring, creative, awesome people. 
Here are the fisrt oficial picture of each of my dolls, and a group photo I took today.

ESG: My favourite picture(s) of the month August

(bueno, el título es bastante claro... este es un swap que en el grupo vienen haciendo desde junio y me re divierte y eso. Me parece que la única manera de hacer que esto se mueva un poco es subiendo estas cosas por acá, no le hacen daño a nadie y se me va un poco la culpa de abandonar el blog)
(disculpe mi inglés)

Hi!
Here are my favorite pictures taken this month.

Leti's pretty nose, mouth, whiskers and paws



Same cat, different day. Admire those beautiful eyes and large looking ears >__< (they're not really THAT large)


The best thing I've made: a black dress with lots and lots of lace, for a friend's doll


 The neighbor's tree, on a very gloomy day


Same tree, one week later. Spring made a visit for a few days some weeks in advance and fooled everyone, even the tree, that decided it was the proper time to bloom. 


It's a plum-tree.


After a couple of weeks of intense sewing, this is how my desk looked like the last day, when it was snap buttons time! (sewing buttons is the worst)



BONUS PICTURE

Yesterday a couple of friends and I had a doll gathering. We put all the dolls in display for a group picture and it was all laughs and giggles until one of the dolls stumbled and the domino effect happened

And I missed all the fun because I went to grab my camera in the next room T__T
