I started doing this on my original board and I adored the responses I got from happy posters about their avatar pictures. Many of you liked that I personalised these cute pictures of Sindy with your names. I love that after a while it spawned a bit of a craze on other boards on the web too. New posters wanting a personalised avatar can have one either from an image that they send me or an image I choose at random. Of course a few things have to be kept in mind when you send me a piccie because I am precious about these little works of art. The image must be a good one. No out of focus, blurry image that are tiny, a good idea to send me a few pix. Also only of Sindy not other dolls, Sindy of any era is fine. If you borrow the image {ebay} that's okay with me but if the copyright owner wants me to remove it I have to. The name I pop on is the owners name, and I can match the Avatar name with the user-name but I won't pop on silly long names like dollydogstink and all that, I will pop on Emma Or Lynsey etc. A tiny space is all I have. Also, please select your pic/pics carefully cause I don't want to change posters avatars on a regular basis cause it takes time for me to make them and it confuses posters anyway. Lastly patience, I do them asap cause I really love making them for everyone but sometimes I don't log on for periods of time cause of work & family etc. I will make a few at a time and pop them up for regular posters and I don't mind a reminder via my email. Oh yeah, and I love it when I get told that you like em! Happy Posting. xxxxx Lorna Thu, 18 Jan 2007 00:00:59 GMT http://www.sindyland.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=12 Hi All Well our girl is back in Woolies, on the toy shelves where she belongs. Well at least the 2006 pedigree version but the little lady does not disappoint in many ways. She's cute, she has a larger round head and smaller slim body, an essence of the pedigree girl of old even though she is a completely new doll. The downside being though is they have gone down the so many times tested and failed route yet again of Sindy only being a platinum blonde, only Sindy friends get the luxury of having much more classier darker hair shades and of course having to be of ethnic origin. Not sure Sindy designers of today know really how to get it completely right as they say they want her to represent real life young girls. How many groups of real life girlfriends do we see were there is the 1 blonde and all the rest of her friends are dark haired and of ethnic origin.

I have never shared it on here so thought I might as well! Ok here goes. In 1982 we were on our way home from a short break staying with relatives in Scotland when my Dad's car broke down on the Forth Road bridge! By then we had already been travelling for almost 6 hours. So we had to leave the car in Edinburgh & take a train home. Luckily we live in Darlington, which is on the main line from Edinburgh to London, so no changing at stations. As we waited for the train to arrive, I was sat on a bench with my Sindy dolls in their case, wrapped in a black bin liner. Don't ask me why. It was my Mum's idea. Maybe so they weren't pinched? Well the train arrived, we hopped on & you guessed it, I left my Sindy's in the station. I was inconsolable all the way home, they went everywhere with me & had travelled the World! When we finally arrived home shortly after midnight, my Mum phoned the station immediately The operator told my Mum they were in a state of emergency as a suspicious package had been found! The bomb squad had been called & they were dealing with it. Well you know what happened don't you! The package was my Sindy dolls! Luckily they did see the funny side & I was photographed in my local paper with all 5 dolls a few days later!! I bet they wouldn't take it so lighthearted nowadays! Hope you all liked that!

Replacing her pout with a smirk was a sin Then licensed off to the bargain bin Fri, 10 Feb 2006 00:54:15 GMT http://www.sindyland.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=7 It started in the kitchen - a few dolls here and there; Washing each one lovingly and conditioning frizzy hair. It spread into the sitting room, their numbers multiplied fast, At my constant trips to boot sales my husband was aghast!

Your Bio, how you made your one of a kind Sindy, your best buy story, or even a fiction story involving your Sindy; all these would be great subjects. This article is to give you some pointers in the best way to get it looking good, and how to make sure that the format fits the rest of the site. Wed, 25 Jan 2006 19:17:42 GMT
