New Year! 2024 is Time for Us to Get Back on Track!

Happy New Year! Let's start off 2024 with what this blog/site was before the pandemic. Just need to get back into this and not get burnt out. Lost some of that passion the last few years. Pandemic, injuries and just not mentally wanting to take the time to fully commit to this anymore. Collecting never stopped but just a lot of personal stuff with the day job, life, friends, family and this year mostly need to do better at balancing everything. Still have some of that passion to continue this blog / website. This year the loss of a few people in the art toy community was a huge blow to so many. Collecting is what brings a lot of people together. Collecting and this blog is my outlet and what takes me away just for a little bit out of the real world and the daily grind. It brings a different type of happiness that is hard to explain. With that said, it's time for this blog to rise back up and to start posting a lot more. Here's to 2024 being a better year for everyone! Keep on collecting!
