Taking the A Doll A Day (ADAD) challenge to photograph at least one of my dolls everyday for the WHOLE year! Really excited about doing this challenge. It'll make me interact with my girls daily and hopefully improve my doll photography. :)

New for the New Year!
Alright so a lot has happened dollywise in 2012. I have had dolls come and go as I find out what dolls appeal to me as a doll collector. In the beginning of 2012 I just bought any and all dolls. No matter what they looked like or what type they were. Throughout the year I kept saying that I was going to be more discriminating dolly collector but I didn't follow that very well and still just bought dolls because they were a great deal.
My goal for 2013 is refine my doll collection to only include dolls I can't live without not just pretty dolls that are great doll deals. Like before I actually owned a Middie Blythe I was going off others feelings toward them about them being too small. But once McKenzie arrived it was instant love and now I want ALL the Middie Blythe releases. She is the perfect size and I absolutely ❤ her. I'm to the point where I'd happily give up my Neo Blythe to have more Middies. I'm actually thinking about putting 2 or 3 Neo Blythe up for adoption because I want more Middies beside the one I currently have on layaway... a custom bait Little Lilly Brown and the one who should arrivethis week... Francoise Ananassa. I'm thinking of transforming Middie Little Lilly Brown into a custom brown middie blythe. That's still only a thought though. :)
Also on the adoption front, I've also adopted out two of my American girls because they weren't receiving the love and attention they deserve. I did keep Alanna (#26) and Alyssa (PM Josefina) who I plan to do A LOT more with in 2013, like more photo shoots, creating clothing for them and maybe even start a blog for them to chronicle their dolly adventures. Still trying to decide on a name for their blog.
I learned MSD & SD BJDs are gorgeous but they're just to BIG for me. I feel my comfort level is YoSD and smaller. I will TRY to purchase BJDs within that size range with the exception of a MiniFee because they are gorgeous and I'm already sad I no longer have my MNF Rheia. Hopefully I can purchase another in the future. Yes my tinies will grow in numbers. I just finished paying off a layaway for a PKF Bonnie and have 1 more layaway payment left to pay on a Lati Yellow Miel. Like I've mentioned before this hobby is a little too enabling with the whole option of layaway.
Anyway, here's to 2013 being a year full of MORE dolly fun!!
Happy New Year!!!

Brielle Enjoys Christmas Tree Lights
I've been trying to get this photo just right and I think I may have finally succeed. I had to switch my lens to my 50mm prime. Still a work in progress using my 50mm lens.
Oh Brielle can finally show off my attempts at home tanning. Not perfect by any means either but she's still cute! At least she didn't turn a ugly color on me. LOL n.n
