I spent several hours today getting the listings for the #CelebRAtionWithPurpose auctions ready for eBay. So much for “it’s much easier on eBay”… Writing the descriptions and uploading attractive photographs was much more time-consuming than I thought. But now all the auctions – bar one – have been drafted and can be activated tomorrow morning. (When…
Am I wrong or is tumblr gearing up for the birthday of the week? For some reason it feels as if things have picked up on the platform recently. Well, that is probably also due to the fact that there *was* new work out there, in the shape of Pilgrimage and Castlevania. Anyway, that’s good news for us…
With two days to go until the auctions for our “Celebration With Purpose” go live, I am in the last stages of preparing the technical side of things. Taking photos of my own items for the auctions, compiling the images for items that have been donated (and will be sent from their current location to…
Including today, it is seven days until the big birthday. High time then, to confirm again that we will celebrate into RA’s birthday. There are indeed a number of fan-led happenings… errrrr… happening to mark RA’s birthday. Apart from a change collection to generate donations, Gratiana suggests passing the time with a ‘Fantasy Birthday Party’.…
How’s the weekend progressing for you guys? We have had a big family event yesterday with visitors from England and Scotland, and so I have been distracted and delayed for a bit. Sorry. With Pilgrimage finally reaching cinemas in the US, so many reviews and interviews have been published the last couple of days. The most…
After some teasing on my part, I’d like to lead into the weekend with a shrine reveal. Before I get to it, a word about the cause which the upcoming fundraiser auctions are intended for. In the past, several of our fundraisers benefitted Save the Children. This year, I’d like to funnel our donation to…
Let me lead into today’s teaser post with a good-mood tweet courtesy of Get Reel Movies, the Canadian movie site which had called for submissions for interview questions. Unsurprisingly, the initial tweet received many responses with interesting questions to ask Mr A. Yours faithfully also fired off a question, which elicited a “like” from Get…
Yesterday was a bank holiday in Ireland. While Mr Guylty and daughter went off on a hike in the beautiful Irish scenery, guess what I did? Yep, I pleaded “work” – and then settled in for a big shrining session. After all, the Birthday Auctions are coming up, soon. T -12! Amazing what you can…
Thank you! It took much less than 24 hours for you to react to my auction announcement. Since posting on Thursday evening, I have received money via paypal to go towards postage costs, as well as two offers for auction item donations. Also, many thanks for the RTs and reblogs – publicising is part of…
Two envelopes stamped in Turkey arrived in my house today. Sent separately by a generous benefactress (who wishes to remain anonymous but is known to me), the envelopes contained two items to go into auction. And their arrival reminded me that it is high time to make it official: Coming in less than three weeks:…
After his first foray to Greece last year, the Mighty King of the dwarfs was on holiday in the Aegean again. With his majesty’s permission, I am showing you some images from his personal photo album. A holiday on the Southern-most Greek island of Crete was much after the King’s liking…
Sadly, up until recently, my daughter’s geekdom had a massive gap. Although a big fan of all things Monty Python, she had not seen Monty Python and The Holy Grail yet. Aside: For a change, I like the German title of the film much better. It is called Die Ritter der Kokosnuss (The Knights of the Coconut). This…
