Dollieh Sanctuary

I know for a fact at least one of you has noticed I've been quiet, because I got some worried private messages, LOL! I've been reading everything to keep up with stuff the past few weeks, but I haven't been posting at all. My post count was stuck at 4999 for a while, because I wanted my 5000th post to be written on April the 17th. This is the day that I joined the DS exactly 2 years ago.

Now, this should be a happy post about how glad I am to still be here, how this is the best forum ever, and how my collection has evolved over the years. After all, it's funny how I came here collecting vintage dolls that I sometimes was lucky enough to get for $0.50 each at flea markets, yelling I'd never ever spend more than $50 on a doll (LOL) when two years later I'd have, for example, a Fairyland Minifee worth $400... Amongst other non-inexpensive BJDs!

But... just this week, things changed. My financial status hasn't been great lately, but it was still quite okay. It was doable. Until now. I got a letter from the IRS demanding €4000 before June. Yeah, sure, I've got that money lying around, NOT. I'll be able to pay the money back in terms, but it's still a horrible horrible load of money. Last night I decided I'm gonna have to save money in every department of my life and this means I'll have to sell dolls. I don't know which ones yet because it's killing me, but it's gonna have to happen. It also kills me that I had just been talking to Kiki-chan about buying a Sweet Dolls Alice. I was looking forward to collecting the funds to bring that beauty home.. and now this. I'm so sorry, Kiki, I really didn't mean to flake on you.

Buh. I still wanted to post my 5000th message on this day but I'm a bit depressed. I'm sure my boyfriend and I will be able to work it out. We still have our love and health and that's all that matters. Right? And hey, I've been talking about keeping just one doll before. I could never decide which one that would be though. I love my dolls so much. But meh... keeping just one would mean having one doll to spoil the heck out of...

Ending this by saying I DO love being here after two years, being the terrible spammer that I am and NOT FEELING GUILTY because I hope I'm contributing to the community that way.

Love you all.

Evelien

oh sweetie...I'm so sorry. Big hugs. Will they do a payment plan?

:hugs: Oh, Evelien-san! :hugs again: I also noticed you weren't posting but I thought you were just busy! Instead, you were being so beautifully sentimental and then it had to happen this way for you to dampen your spirits! :cries: I'm so sorry! But please know we're all here for you, and we'll praying for you! I know you'll be able to work things out. :hugs again:

It's been wonderful to get to know you and you have been a wonderful friend and blessing to us all here! :hugs:

Echoing the payment plan so maybe you can keep your dolls. We have a horrible IRS debt burden, but I just keep paying a little each month.

Happy Dollieh Sanctuary Anniversary! *HUGS*

Happy two years with DS! I'm so sorry to hear that you're going to have to be selling some of your dolls. *offers hugs*

First off: big congrats on the anniversary and achievement!
I joined a few weeks before you and remember a day early on when I noticed your post count for the first time. You made me feel like a major slacker!

On the downside of things, so sorry to hear about your misfortune. Praying that you will figure out exactly what to do in all areas involved.

Oh my ... I hope you can work it out! Lots of luck and good karma to you!

Anyway, happy anniversary!!! *hugs*
Will you be at Dolliverse this year? I'm trying to recruit all the doll enthusiasts in the general Hamburg region, if all goes well we'll be heading over with 4 humans and 8+ resins

Neighbours visiting Dolliverse. I was wondering if they ever did.

Evelien I am so sorry to hear about the IRS problems
As I stated on the other forum were both on, I think its such a stupid way of dealing with these kinds of things which are bound to give people problems one way or the other. I have had my share of problems thanks to the IRS and their methods. But the way you have to deal with this is really hard breaking. I know how much you love your resin family. This really sucks so much
I hope you do not really need to sell all except one...hope more can stay.
Still, happy aniversary hun! *huggs*
