Lloyd's return- a Lego Photostory

Hey ya'll!

So, it was a few days before Christmas, I had Elena and my first and favorite Lloyd minifigs in my jeans pocket. I was at a friends house, outside, at night, helping direct a Christmas play. The play went well, but backstage was a MESS. I was a mess, everything was a mess, it was so so hectic, I was very glad when it was over, and we could go inside and have cookies and hot cider. I was late, I was finally relaxed, having finished my cookies, about ready to go home, my hand strays to my pocket. Only one mini figure is inside. PANIC.

A quick check confirms that Elena is still here, but Lloyd is gone. I give a hurried explanation to my friend and rush outside, pulling on my coat, tripping on the uneven ground before I turn on my phone flashlight. I scoured the entire area we were multiple times with that flashlight. I can't find him. By the end of it, I'm crying. Yes, a perfectly undignified 17 year old crying over a lost toy. hey, he's special.

My friend rounds up her brothers and searches for him later, in daylight. A few weeks ago, I searched for him again, in daylight. Couldn't find him. But by then, I had accepted the fact he may have to be replaced, and had found a suitable replacement on ebay. It was killing my inside to do that, (Toy story 3, anyone? TRAUMATIZED me.) But I also knew I would soon forget, and start treating the new one like he was the old one. Sure enough, I did, as soon as I'd clicked the purchase button. XD

So here is a photo story I made the morning after Lloyd arrived, I wish I'd taken some behind the scenes shots, they would have been hilarious. 😄 

(imagine: paper and pieces of torn apart mini figures strewn over the table, an unexpected assortment of objects holding up more paper, and curious sibling faces and hands getting into eVeRyThInG)

 *knocking*

Elena: GUYS!! HE'S HERE!!!

Elena: I can't believe you're here, I'm so happy!
Lloyd: It's so good to to see you, I've really missed you!
Elena: Same!

Lloyd: Hey guys!
Movie Lloyd: 'Sup man!
SE9 Lloyd: Glad you're back!
Elena in background: !!!!

*footsteps*

Lloyd: Ah, here she is! This is Cyren, I met her while I was making my way back. Cyren, this is Elena, and a few of my cousins.
Elena: *gasp* you made a friend! Welcome, Cyren!

Elena:You're going to fit in great here, Cyren! I'll introduce you to Scarlett and her family, they're also pirates!
Cyren: Thank you! It's so nice to finally meet you, btw, Lloyd talks about you a lot! I'm happy to be here, but there's just one thing...
Elena: One of us is gonna have to change our hair.
Cyren: Exactly.
*both laughing* 

Lloyd: So, what happened while I was gone? How were the holidays? 

Movie Lloyd: Oh yeah, thanks for getting lost three days before Christmas. Really threw off the mood.

SE9 Lloyd: Elena spent like a week crying. It wouldn't have been too bad, but she was listening to "All I Want for Christmas is You" on REPEAT.

Lloyd: *winces* Oooh. Yikes.

Movie Lloyd: It was awful.

**********************

I hope you found this amusing as I did :D 

(and for anybody wondering, no, he did not arrive with that face, I swapped it for the story, since the expression fit better.) 

(same with Elena lol, thats not her face XD)

I feel like it had too many exclamation points, and it was told in a shorter, choppier tone, but it was written for instagram first, and nobody on insta (besides me) has time to read all that. -_-

But it was fun to make, so there's that. :)

Have a great day,

Bye,

Happy Valentines day. ;) 

This Month on Instagram #14- November

Hey ya'll!

How was your November? Mine was COLD, and it will be cold for a ridiculously long time. *Lucy voice from Peanuts* 

"I'm going to have a word with whoever planned this weather!"

😛

Thanksgiving was nice, lots of food(!!!) and got to see some relatives I haven't seen in a long while. (My uncle grew a mustache and goatee. Not a very good one.)

Unfortunately we have a sad lack of fall clothes, so I feel like she's a bit thrown together??? 

 Is she wearing a Slytherin scarf? Absolutely. 

I meant to have some available in my etsy shop this year, but I've fallen off the ball, and in reorganizing my priorities, knitting got shuffled to the bottom. Oops. But I've got a few other items listed! check it out HERE. 

 Her hair looks fab tho.

 And prepare yourself, because you're going to get ALL the subtle angle shots, because omw every TIME I forget how photogenic this girl is and I can't stop lol

 Look at this beauty😍

 So fabulous 💋

 Love this shot✨

This shot was really hard to get 😂 I had my phone in one hand and my other arm wrapped around that tree to hold her hand so she stayed upright 😂😂 I had bark imprints all on my arm wHAT WAS I THINKING 😂😂😂

 This was much easier lol

 THAT HAIR THO.

Anyhows, How was your November? You looking forward to Christmas? How is your December looking? 

I'm finishing up my English class, (THANK GOODNESS) and still haven't taken the doll photoshoot for this month, and am trying to juggle finishing school, making Christmas presents, writing ma book, and finding the joy wherever I go. :)

Also, HAVE YOU SEEN THE TRAILER FOR THE BLACK WIDOW MOVIE??? WHAT.

Sorry for the outburst, I'm so so so hyped 😄

Bye,

This month on Instagram #4 -December

Hello everyone! 

December was one long photo shoot/story, my favorite! With all the dolls looking so lovely in their dresses. 🙂❤️💚🎄

Hey hey hey, its a Christmas party! 🎄🎁🍬☕️ The decorations are up, treats are out and they're just waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive. 

"Here's your cocoa, though I'm not sure if your mama would appreciate all the sugar you've had...and the party hasn't even started yet!"  

 "I gotta say, it's SO cool that I got to meet THE Samantha Parkington!" 

 "Oh! They're here!"

Brisk steps and cheerful chatter disturb the cold air as four girls hurry to meet their friends. ❤️💄💋🎁 

*knocking*

 "Hey girls, how you doing?" "Hi!" "Hey, what's up?" "I'm so glad you're here!" "KIT!! THERE'S CANDY!!!" "Oh no..." "Sorry, I just can't say no to her!"

"Welcome! Do come in, you can put your coats in the corner and your gifts under the tree."

"Thanks Josefina, you're the best!"

"C'mon Kit, PLEASE tell me!"

"No, you all find out what your presents are when you open them. And don't give me that look I'm not telling you."

"Then...can we open presents now instead of later?"

"Nope." 

And now for the Christmas portraits! Which I never got around to posting on IG, whoops.

(I hope they look alright to you guys, mine are showing up a bit blurry)

 And their Christmas card.🙂

(Yeah...not sure whats going on with the black)

I hope you guys had a great Christmas and new year, I know I did.

Have a great day, bye
