These are really fun to browse. You can "hear" the party atmosphere, and I know it takes a lot of time to pose a lot of dolls. All the little vignettes make it feel like one is really in the middle of the party.
The 2nd one made me smile. I dunno, she looks like she's concentrating really hard there... like maybe she's had enough >hic< already... 
Grey... yeah. Thanks to my borked-up schedule, some days I get TWO HOURS of daylight. I feel like I live in Arctic latitudes. It's terrible, but since the quiet time is at night, I stay up all night 
Sounds like you got a bit of our typical fall/winter weather there, with the wind. Heard FL got a lot of rain too.
I hope your ADAD burnout doesn't last into the new year 
I'M going to do it again, anyway.

Only if the doll holding the doll is self-aware that it is itself a doll. Errr... I think.

The sixth-scale-with-twelfth-scale is kinda funny.

Is that a new one…? Sorry that I can’t remember if we’ve seen her before.

I have so many I can't even remember. I'd largely forgotten I had these little "knights" until I ran across them in a storage tub a couple of weeks ago.
I believe this one last appeared about a year ago in A Doll A Day (in a pictured oh-so-cleverly titled "Knight Before Christmas") and was subsequently forgotten.

Seems like the little knights (and the army men?) could have all kinds of adventures running through the undergrowth in tropical Florida!
You could make your own "Small Soldiers" movie

I have been looking at some impressive amateur stop-motion films on Youtube that were made in back yards using toy figures.
I don't think I'd have the patience for the animation work. But it would be fun!

It's a ton of work when you're not doing stop-motion. I always find the music the hardest part -- the right piece, the right length, the right match for the scenes. But it is fun.

I hadn't heard of the Christmas shell story.
Isn't your crew up to any holiday hijinx?

I loved the novels by Eleanor Cameron when I was young(er). Her best are the "Mushroom Planet" series.
Low-key holiday this year. And serious A Doll A Day burnout.
