I love that your "actors" play different roles, depending on the storyline.

I really like Grace. The red wig looks adorable on her.

They have to. I may have a LOT of dolls, but not nearly enough that each one is it's own exclusive character. Like my Wizard, who is also Santa, everyone's grandfather, and was a woodcutter in my Christmas Story, and now is the old King, and Lawrence's father.

Each episode is a delight! I love how you've added Grace as a youngster to the story.

Having "flashbacks" to illustrate Miho's conversation with Naomi makes the story so interesting. It's fun seeing your dolls play different roles.

Thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying it.

I thought the flashbacks would be so much more interesting that just having the same dolls sitting there talking. Plus it was a fun challenge (still is, most of the time)

This story really developed a mind of it's own, with new ideas constantly popping in, and I figured with Grace appearing in some later flashbacks I should start including her as a child as well.

This particular flashback isn't done yet - although I still need to shoot two scenes for the end of it - and there will be at least three more later in the story. I figure it's a greta way to illustrate everyone's back story. Something I've not done before.

I believe that there are at least as many stories in existence as there are or ever have been human souls. While I cannot claim to have read even more than a fraction of those that have been recorded, I do think I've read more than my fair share. I collect them, storing them away in my heart--for comfort on the days when a chapter of my own life is one I wish I could have been written differently. Your stories capture the very best of what makes a story worth telling--and worth remembering.
