After being put on the wrong plane, ending up in PA, being processed through several sort facilities before they realized that the box was at the wrong side of the country, put back on a plane, disappearing for a few days, and then getting stuck overnight at the local sorting facility, my Beyla FINALLY arrived today, safe and sound (thank GOD!!)!!
:squee:
She's bigger than I'd expected, which is fine by me! I can't believe how beautiful she is in person, plus I got 4 wigs, several eyes, a dress, her hooves and tail, plus her jewelry. Totally worth the $550!
*ETA* Photobucket is finally working, so here's the box opening pics!!!
It feels like I waited FOREVER to see this box in my mailbox. (I was also impressed that it was the original SOOM shipping box)

Moment of truth... the doll bag! I was really relieved to see how padded it was, considering the adventure that USPS sent her on.

Here she is!!! I was so thrilled that she was just as pretty as I had hoped, I was nervous!

I immediately changed her eyes to the purple ones (I much prefer eyes with pupils, lol) and tested out the unicorn horn that I had custom made for her! Since it's just magnets, I can take it on and off whenever I want her to be a unicorn! :D

I've seriously never seen such a pretty doll. I mean, really. Who looks this pretty with just a cell pic?

And a little experimental pic, with one of my Christmas ornaments.

As soon as I get up the nerve to restring her, I'll get her hooves on and take pics. But I like her a lot as just a human too!
-
Congratulations and I'm glad that she made it home to you safely! She's gorgeous! :)
-
she is stunning!!! I can't wait to see her restrung --- the hoofies are so adorable!
congrats, I am so jelly :lol:
-
Thank you! I am so thrilled! I will post more pics once I get my actual camera out. :)
-
So cuuuuute!
are her hooves blushed?
-
Yeah, they have a beautiful pink blush on the feathering and gloss on the actual hooves. I'll get pics of those too, once I figure out how to restring her. :P
-
Congrats Zenna! Beyla is a beautiful choice for a yosd (mine is actually away getting a new face up and blushing ^_^). Can't wait to see more pics.
-
I'm so happy she made it there safely! I was worried for your baby. ^^; She's gorgeous! (I love the ornament in the second shot, too.)
-
Does she have other hands? or just the cute fist hands?
-
I love the ornament in the second shot, too.
Thanks, my mom gives me an ornament every year for Christmas and this year, I got that one. :)
Does she have other hands? or just the cute fist hands?
She's got her other hands too, I think I'll put them on as long as I'm restringing her for the hooves. The cutie hands are adorable, but I think that for general use, I will get more use from the others.

OOOOMYGAWD, SO ADORBS. Absolutely beautiful! Congrats!
-
Thanks! She was quite a big buy for me, but I've wanted her for years. She was the first doll I ever wanted and I never thought I would own her. I was nervous dropping the cash (since I'm pretty tight on funds and my hubby has no idea how much BJDs cost :lookround: ), but now that she's here I am SO glad that I splurged on my amazing grail dolly, rather than picking up some less expensive dolls that are pretty, but not ones that I love. I can't wait until I get the time to sit down and take some pictures! Once I have a day off and some good lighting. :D
-
Oh wow. She is stunning. Definitely worth the wait! :D
-
Big congrats! She is gorgeous! So delicate!
-
:squee: she is so darling!!! Huge congrats!
-
She is beautiful! Congratulations :cheer:
-
Grats! She is so pretty!

" but now that she's here I am SO glad that I splurged on my amazing grail dolly, rather than picking up some less expensive dolls that are pretty, but not ones that I love. "
THIS. This is what I kept on saying to my mother as I could get cheaper dollies (Pullips by the way), and yes they're pretty too, but a grail is entirely a different thing. It never compares. Just takes longer to achieve if they are pricier. ^.^
Well anyway, I'm glad she came home safely after all that trouble!
Congratulations on your girl! She's a beautiful and precious one. :happy:
-
Eeeeep!! You've got a Beyla! FInally :D Huge congrats! What's her name? :3
-
Finally! I'm so happy for you, Zenna! Beyla is such a gorgeous sculpt, huge congrats!
-
I about had a heart-attack reading the first paragraph!!! Argh!! USPS, you drive me CRAZY!!
Congrats, Hunnybunny!! She's a super-cutie fersure, fersure!!! :happy:
I do wonder though why fate was so cruel as to put us so far away! I need to restring my Magical Angel boy and replace his shins and I'm a chicken, too!! heh heh heh I'll have to do it eventually, but I just don't wanna! :yikes: ...... Although, I might could bite the bullet if I was giving him hooves! :P If we were closer we could be chickens together! Bwauck!! BaGaaaaawk!!! :silly:
:cheer: I'm so excited for you!!! :lovey: Yayyyyy!!!!!! :happy:
Hmmmm, you still need a PM from me, huh? Bad Cherry! :3
-
she's exquisite! i love her delicate little mouth!
-
Eeeeep!! You've got a Beyla! FInally :D Huge congrats! What's her name? :3
She doesn't have a name yet, I'm thinking something floral maybe. I'm sure she'll tell me her name soon enough. :lovey: And now I can see pics of YOUR Beyla without thinking "OMG I wish I owned that doll!!!" :bateyes:

You of all people, should know how scary the USPS can be. Luckily, her box was in great shape and the doll was safe. :) If we lived near one another, we could TOTALLY have a resptinging party and be chickens together! XD
-
Cool!!!
-
Good lord, that's a pretty doll. Congrats!
-
Thank you! :)
-
HUGE congrats on finally getting her home! She's such a gorgeous girl, one that I'd definitely love to have one day. I can't wait to see pics of her with her hooves! I've restrung Soom animal feet before and was terrified as well, lol!
-
She is AMAZING Zen!!!! Congrats!!!!!
-
Thanks! Are they hard to restring? :blink:
-
Thanks! Are they hard to restring? :blink:
Not really, no. No harder than restringing a regular doll. I was kinda thrown into restringing, since my first boy came to me with elastic that was almost rotten, so it snapped soon after I got him. Once I got him back together, I restrung everybody, lol. The bunny feet weren't much different, other than the fact that the hook just goes THROUGH the foot. Is that how Beyla is?
-
Ahhh congrats on Beyla! I've been an admirer of hers for some time <3
-
Thank you! She's an amazing doll, I'm glad I finally bit the bullet and bought her. :)
