It's been such a long time, I have forgotten how to post things :(
I have not realised how long it has been. Things have not been going well for us as a family so I have lost track of time, so I do apologise.
First of all, we've never moved, as I have pulled out of sale, for many reasons, and I still don't want to talk about.
Instead of moving, we have decided to remodel the house.
This has been very stressful, as the (cowboy) builders have lets us down, and we have been living on an unfinished building site ever since.
All that stress has resulted in my cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Being diagnosed was a shock, but in a way it has been positive, because I take nothing for granted now.
It was a wake up call that I really needed, as my life was going nowhere.
I can't change the world. But I can change myself, and my little family.
I can't teach others, there plenty of people who already do that - you just need to educate yourself and stop living in ignorance.
My cancer was totally avoidable, as it was caused by what I was eating - gallons of cow's milk, sugar, abundance of cheese, and 2-3 eggs a day!
I thought I was eating healthy, little did I know it causes cancer....it should have come with warnings on labels, like cigarettes do. But apparently we are not supposed to know...
Ask yourself: what are you eating, where does your food come from ? How is is made ? How is it killed? Does it cause cancer? Obesity? Diabetes? Depression? Heart & chronic diseases?
Doctors won't cure you, there's no money in cure, there's money in sick people.
Most doctors are not trained in nutrition, only in prescription drugs.
There is lots of money in processed food. There is no money to be made on fruit & veg.
This is why you will always see ads, research & comments sponsored by pharma, dairy, meat & processed food industry telling you how good it is, and no need to worry...effectively brainwashing us to ignore what's really in it.
You will not see ads on how broccoli kills cancer cells and prevents & cures many chronic diseases as there is no profit in that :(
If the food comes with an ingredients' label, it's not food.
Whole food is medicine. Processed food is disease.
We are taught from very young that milk, cheese, eggs, etc are healthy, where in fact they are actually very opposite :(
Our brains are bombarded with propaganda info from the very early childhood that cow's milk is the ONLY source of calcium (hint: it is NOT, there are many other sources that do not require forcefully impregnating cows every year and then taking away & killing their babies so we can have their milk)
Why is there a 'healthy food' section in the supermarket? What does that say about all the other food they sell?
All this eye opening knowledge & information is freely available on YouTube, Netflix or Amazon, social media, etc, you just must MAKE TIME to watch it. Here's a few I strongly recommend:
- What the Health
- H.O.P.E what you eat matter
- Hungry for change
- Cowspiracy
- Dairy is scary
- Forks over knives
- C word
- That sugar film
And if you have time to read, 'How not to Die' book by Dr. Greger on Amazon is a must!
Open your eyes, and live :)
Hopefully I will be fine, my cancer treatment is now complete and fingers crossed it won't come back, as we have changed how we live and what we eat.
To help our family move on to a more positive future, I need to de-clutter the house and raise the funds to finish the remodelling of the house.
Therefore sadly I have to sell most of the items I have collected over the years, which will include majority of the dolls and their things.
I only ever wanted 5 dolls - one for each or my children, and maybe a couple for myself. I have no idea how I ended up having over a hundred :( The target is to sell at least 80%.
It will be heartbreaking to let them go, but they will be happier with someone who can give them proper love and attention.
The dolls have been sitting in the storage ever since the failed move, so I will need to sort through them in the next few weeks, so please bear with me.
Please note they will be posted for sale on eBay international in batches over several weeks, "as is" as I will have no time to clean, fix, etc (but there are plenty of tutorials on that on our YouTube channel).
eBay auction will be set to run for a set time, and I will not be able to end the auction sooner. I am aware that many of our subscribers are children and eBay rules are strict for users under 18. Please do not bid unless you are an adult or have parental permission to use their account.
The dolls should be ready for sale in the new year 2020 as I am unable to prepare them for sale before then - more details of the sale will be posted on this blog so keep an eye out/subscribe for updates!
I will not be able to reply to any comments or question as I have made a decision to minimalise my life, and live a simpler life...away from computers & social media...my life is now going in a completely different direction that I was planning 5 years ago.
Crafting, dolls, making stuff, all this has taken a back seat and whilst I may bring it back into my life, it will be on a much much smaller scale.
Crafts Adore's American Girls dolls YouTube channel will remain active for historical videos, especially the tutorials, which I hope are useful, but I don't know at this stage if we ever will do more videos.
I wish to thank each & every one who took time to leave positive comments on our YouTube channel and your support is very much appreciated xx
God bless x AC @ CraftsAdore
P.S. FARMERS - if you are worried about losing your livelihood as more & more people are waking up to the fact that meat & dairy industry is unhealthy & unsustainable, I urge you to change to organic plant based farming! You can still make a killing but without killing us or the animals...
