Day #20 of the 31 days of Halloween

Welcome to day #20..... we have an awesome sponsor today.... ok i lied.... its me... you can win an item of my jewelery.... you need to check out 'how to win details' from Terras blog.... the list of bloggers is on my side bar as always.
Today i need to give you a few 'background' details........ i'll try to keep it brief so not to bore you to much.....
......" In the Early days, although we were a large family we always had plenty of love and attention.....a nice comfortable home, nice clothes, and shiny shoes..... Mother adored us all..... as the years went by our family grew..... being one of the older ones you'd think i'd get pushed to the back a bit... but no, mother showered us all with love.
Our Aunt used to visit from time to time but hardly glanced at us.... she never spoke to us directly or paid us any attention.... even if mother was dressing us or combing our hair.... she would just look at us with what i thought was disgust.
We all seemed so happy...... then one day..... one bleak and dreadful day.... we, the whole family were gathered together and entombed in a cold dark place.... baby's, young ones...old ones like myself.... no-one was spared the torture of this event.....
How long were we entombed...? I really dont know.... years probably..... then one day this summer, the bright light and warmth of the summer sun hit my face for the first time in God knows how long..... the face looking at me wasnt my beloved mother, it was my Aunt.... only this time she was smiling.... no look of disgust in her eyes.... no hint of contempt in her voice when talking to Mother about us.... Mother wanted rid of me.... us...all of us! She didnt love us anymore.... she didnt even want to keep us locked away entombed anymore. 'Take them all' she said.
'Aunt' brushed the dust of my dress and said.....'' i'll take her.... i'll take them all if you reallyare sure you dont want them anymore..... i'm sure i can find good homes for these dead dolls'
So here i am..... 'Millie'...... waiting to go to my new home.... waiting to be loved and treasured like i used to be..... until that time i'm happy to be with my Aunt BD.... who loves me and has spent ages making sure i look my most adorable... hand sewing my clothes... fixing my face and shining my shoes...... she has even made me a book .... ...............using images from SMEARED INKS ....BUILD A ZOMBIE stamp set.... pencils and a pencil case..... things i didnt have with Mother.
Would you like to see a photo of me now...?








Aunt BD says you 31 dayers will love me.... with my open lesions, sores and weeping puss spots.




I thought my old life was perfect... but i was just one of many porcelain dolls.... now i am a OOAK

  16. I know dolls creep a lot of people out, even unaltered ones, but I've always been intrigued. And guilty I think of sometimes ignoring their needs. I know, I know! They're just dolls but maybe, just maybe they wake up at night. Anyway, I'm glad yours is looking forward to having someone love her!
