I would not be able to leave those unopened, that would be much too tempting!

Some are still boxed, cause we didn't get to them yet, and some we got ages ago to trade, but most are opened...

I am sorry but Daniela and Tahra those pictures are just heavenly to me   :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

I know people are critical of their own situation but it really looks fine to me.  :lol:
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Tim is right, Daniela, as soon as you start re-organizing something, it ends up looking a LOT worse before it looks better. But it will get better, once you feel ready to tackle it again. It will reach a point where it all starts to come together.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Dear Tim and Bonnie,

thank you SO MUCH for your comforting words!!!  :love:

I know, the time will come, it will become better, but at the moment it´s pure horror.

Nevertheless, I will NOT give up and I still love Playmobil.

And it´s so nice to have understanding friends, that are crazy ones like me and you!

GROUPHUG!!!!

All of those Viking sets... I need to find one of those longships.
