So, I went to the Blythe Convention in Atlanta yesterday. It was loads of fun. Um, all the women there act like littles and I'm pretty sure a lot are, even if they just don't realize it. Some of them were kind of inconsiderate, though. The place was jam-packed and rather small and they'd bump into you and not even apologize or push you out of the way, or not move when you needed to get through. Also, it was dollies everywhere!!! I learned that I'm way more protective of my dollies than other people are. They stayed with me or in my car the whole time. Other people just had theirs out and people would pick them up and sometimes drop them and stuff and it just seemed so trusting, especially since a lot of these were ones that are way more expensive than mine are. Some people had the original Kenner Blythes and left them out and stuff for people to look at. I think that's great, but I'd just be too afraid someone would steal/break one of my girls.

Also, I felt kinda guilty, b/c I have been all tired n stuff for school, so I didn't really dress my dolls up and I only took Appolonia and Astrid. When I got there and saw that everyone brought all of their dolls, I felt bad that I left Gretal, Autumn, and Suicide (Daddy helped me name her today!! she's the one I've been customizing) at home. I got 6 new outfits, a bunch of miniature stuff for them to have, free sewing patterns, and a bunch of little buttons. I also won the raffle twice! I got an address book, and a hiblythe app for my iphone. :)

I went to IKEA this morning and I got a BIG hippo to sleep with at night, a mini hippo, elephant, and crocodile, some storage cubes for my blythe stuff, and a daisy ice mold.

My mom and I also went antiquing and saw something funny. I took a picture of it. I'll post it so you can get some giggles.

      psssssh about a million!!! I want them all. How horrible is that? I get pretty attached to them, though. It's okay, though, b/c Daddy seems to be really cool about the doll thing. I think he thinks I'm cute when I play with them. He was saying today that Sycamore would be an awesome name for a dolly, and I was like..."i'd need a new one b/c all of mine are already named..... ;)"

          Depends, anywhere from 150-thousands/doll. Some of them used to be cheaper, but they are more expensive right now, I think b/c of the economy or something. An Ashton Drake Blythe can run from 80-100 something. They are a little cheaper, but they are not good for customization and are kind of just an homage to the original Kenner dolls. They're neat, but just not for me. I've read a lot of bad reviews about them, but I also haven't seen one close up.

    I think it's cute and also really neat that you are into the Blythe dolls. I am pretty sure you are the one who introduced me to the whole world of Blythe and a few years ago I would have been all over getting one for myself. I think it is a great hobby for you and I love that you take such good care of your girls.

      Thanks, Chrissy!!! I do take good care of them. I <3 them. They each have their own personality and everything.
