3/52 (6/52) - The Gangs All Here

3/52 (6/52) - The Gangs All Here, a photo by Among the Dolls on Flickr.

Well sort of... I'm actually missing 3 LPS girls but they haven't been deboxed yet so they couldn't join the 52wpb and 52 weeks of Blythe photo.

Alyssa Marie & Alexa Grace

So I purchased a TLC PM Josephina AG for a spectacular deal. But the reason why the deal was so good is because my Josephina needs lots of love. Like the previous owner wanted to use her as a boy doll, so she chopped all of her hair really short. I mean REALLY short and cut her earring off one ear and left the other one. The limbs are considerably loose which making her stand by herself a little more work than usual but she does stand.


Also there are shiny spots on her face and limbs. I still love her though. I decided to get her a new head because of the earring and the awful haircut. I did find one relatively inexpensive ($21 shipping inlcuded) which is cheaper than one from the AG Hospital just waiting for it to arrive. It should be here by Tuesday... hopefully. :-)

Frankie & Mittens

Couldn't resist taking a photo of Mittens & Frankie. My daughters threw her away because her arm was "broken"... So they thought. LOL

6/52- Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls Redux

Here's my current collection of Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls for ADAW. Yep a whooping 5... I found the girl my 5 year old lost... I mean misplaced. :-)

My Mini Lalaloopsy Dolls

left to right :: Spot Paints Purple, Blossom's a Busy Bee, Mittens' Sleepover and Sahara's Mirage

These little girls joined my family awhile back but I totally forgot to share. I am actually missing one thanks to my 5yo. Gotta love her. :-)

I will say these are just as addictive as any other collectible item. LOL I'm trying to really curb the buying impulses but sometimes temptation wins out. :-)

****UPDATE**** MIA Mini Lalaloopsy found. Yay! She is Peanut's New Tricks. :-)

My Expensive Addiction

Let me just say that doll collecting is a VERY expensive addiction. I've been known to say there are worse things that one could be addicted but doll collecting is almost as bad. LOL

My collection has grown by leaps and bounds. I started off with 1 Neo Blythe PD2A in 2008, added 1 Little Pullip Cheshire Cat and Neo Noir Pullip (rehomed in 2011) in 2010.

Here we are in 2012 and I'm up to 5 Neo Blythes, 1 Petite Blythe, 10 LPS Blythes which 3 are duplicates to customize (with 1 on the way supposedly... doubt it'll come because I had to request a paypal dispute due to an unresponsive eBay seller), 1 Nahh-Ato Pullip (with 2 on the way), 2 Little Pullips, 2 American Girl Dolls (with 1 on the way), 1 Kelly Doll (loved her makeup & had to have her) and 1 Gloom Beach Frankie Stein Monster High Doll!

Oh did I mention that I'm starting to get into My Little Ponies, thanks to McD's! I have AppleJack & I also got a blind bag wave 1 Minty. Now I want to get the rest of the McD's ponies to have the complete collection. I also want to get the g3.5 ponies. I think Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle are too adorable.

Also the Littlest Pet Shop (a.k.a. LPS) animals are too adorable and the just happen to be adding to my collection because they come with my LPS Blythe but now I find myself looking throight the toy sections for not only the the LPS Blythes but MLPs and LPS too. Am I done adding dolls, ponies and LPS to my collection, not EVEN close! I think my want list of dolls, LPS and ponies is longer than my list of dolls in my current collection.

See... Addicting!

2/52 - See.. Paparazzi!!

Aubrey (LPS Blythe, Get Pretty Boutique) and LPS Buttons N Bows (My daughter's LPS Blythe, not sure if she named her) were out in and about shopping in Beverly Hills when the paparazzi caught a photo of them. :-)

Meet Alexa Grace

Meet Alexa Grace, a photo by Among the Dolls on Flickr.

My AGT #15 is loving her new home here with the other girls. She has even found herself some beautiful new hairs. Thanks Zoë for your generosity. 

As you can see AGT #15 has also chosen a name for herself and her personality/story. LOL I think the hair took a HUGE part in picking her name. There were a couple of names that were bouncing around but once she put hair on, I knew her name would be Alexa Grace born June 20th, 2000, who's favorite color is aquamarine and personality is outgoing & very playful.

There will also be one more PM American Girl joining her but she won't be here for a couple of weeks though. Remember dolly diet. LOL

Lastly, Alexa decided that she would like a blog for her and the other 18" girls but I told her that she could have her own now since the other girls may not want a blog and don't want to stifle her creativity or self expression. So the new blog is called Amazing AG Girls but there isn't anything there yet because she is working on it. LOL

Pretty Fabric

My girls told me I need to dust my sewing machines off and make them some new clothing. Guess they are tired of wearing the same ole clothes all the time. LOL

Dolly Diet...

Well sorta. I've gone on a wee bit of a binge in the last couple of weeks purchasing new dollies that I kinda put myself on a dolly diet of sorts. No I can't promise that I'll stop buying dollies all together because that's just preposterous. I mean I will purchase my big girls with a little more discretion AFTER these two dollies,

 Romantic Alice (photo taken by Requiemart)

(not sure which one she is since she will arrive nude w/o box) 

and

LE Another Alice Pullip (complete w/ stock) 

(photo taken by PullipStyle... awesome seller from my own personal experience)

that I currently have on layaway though.... I know, I know. I said I wasn't going to purchase any Pullips unless it was

  Prunella (photo taken by PullipStyle... 

awesome seller from my own personal experience)

BUT

 Nomi (purchased from PullipStyle) 

is living proof that I can not and will not discriminate against them. LOL I mean who am I kidding... they are gorgeous and poseable to boot. I'm still on the hunt for Prunella and hopefully I will be able to find her since she is also a sold out doll. I guess you could say that Prunella is my grail Pullip doll. LOL Oh to dream!!

3/52 - Morgan In the Wild

Okay she's not REALLY in the wild but I thought this memo set was pretty cool. :-) Morgan (LPS Blythe Playfully Plaid ) is this week's ADAW and 52 weeks of Blythe star!

Nomi (a.k.a. Nahh-Ato)

Okay, I know I said that I didn't find Pullips attractive but I think I was fooling myself because there is a new lady amongst our mists. Yep, you guessed...

Nomi (a.k.a. Nahh-Ato), a photo by Among the Dolls on Flickr.

Please welcome Nomi (Pullip Nahh-Ato), my very FIRST NRFB Pullip doll! LOL Nomi was a present (purchased from PullipStyle) from hubby and I absolutely LOVE her. Now to puck up the courage to take her out the box. LOL

Lollipop, Lollipop, Oh la Lollipop

Lollipop. POP badum dum dum... LOL Okay not sure how to write that out but you get the picture. Check out the Strawberry-Kiwi Lollipops I handmade for the children today after school. This was my first try at making them. They are Kid tested... Mother approved. :-)
