chocolate and venilla

It all started before summer vecation.
My husbends doughter, Raz, fell inlove with my Vicky and wanted a doll for her self :-)
Her mother decided to buy her one for the comming summer vecation and gave me the money to order one for cheap.
Buying chocolate and vanilla together is the cheapest way to go :-)
Any way our doughter Alex wanted one as well {and what ever is her's is mine!} :-D
They arrieved before PCM.. and here they are:





Come out! :-0

Sisters :-)

All together for the day before vanilla goes to her new house with Raz

By the way, chocolates neme is Chocolate

and vanillas name is Lili

Chocolate with a dress and crown made by me. The dress was made for a rainbow challenge on flickr

:-)

And then I fell in love...

Looking around the web, getting to know the dolls out there..
I came a cross this beauty! Blythe PRECIOUS CANDY'S MUSHROOM or PCM
I totaly fell inlove with her, i know she wasnt such a popular doll, but to me she was a total favorite!
Her price is about 2 times highr then vicky's so i started serching for a used one and on paymants
Did i find one? :-)



Yes! I did! I came across this beauty from the UK looking for a new home LOVE

After 2 monthes she was payed off and this is her when i just got her {last week}
Her new name given by me is: DAWN

She has all kinds of used marks but i think she looks great in avery picture! plus she is going to get costumized by a costume artist soon!

PRETTY!!

This is why I love her! She is so cool!

Here she is with a dress I bought for her

My new hobby: BLYTHE

Last january i bought my first blythe doll
i'v seen them around for the past few years but never thought about them, until one day it "hit" me out of no where! i NEEDED one for my self! :-)

So i serched on ebay and decides to buy "blythe very vicky" doll
For some strange reason ibought her becues i thought that she looks similar to me so i felt a tipe of "bonding" with her :-)

I calld her VICKY

I am building it slowly, step by step.
