Melissa at work
This is what is it is to live with Blythe. It's like Geppetto's workshop in the house! I don't have nearly as many eye ships as Mellisa but I do have a hand saw, face mask, tools and several cans of spray paint.

Etsy Shop Research
I've been tweaking my on Blythe Post Esty shop with help from other shops I've added as favorites. It's amazing some of the details you forget to include. I just included the size of the postcards in the description of them this morning. Duh!
I was looking for more creative ways to present my store announcement and came upon this in "Ferns Closet."
"Fern is my first and most favorite Blythe doll. I never knew what a Blythe doll was until I discovered Etsy and now I'm hooked. My family of girls is growing rapidly and it's getting harder and harder to explain each new girl's arrival to my husband! So shhhhh, don't say a word.
Come on in, have a look around and meet Fern, Gabby, Naomi, Gillian, Sadie and Martie. They'll be glad you stopped by and so will I.

I feel ya on keeping the secret from your husband Natasha! Fran swears I said that my last Blythe Doll would be my last ever. But I stand firm in that what I meant was it would be the last one for a long time. Hamsa was supposed to be my last ever. Okay Amanda! You're right okay!! YOU'RE RIGHT! I don't know when the last one will be. I was just trying to give myself limits.
I really am fascinated by this addiction in other woman though and can't wait for the NYC Blythe Meet to be able to ask the ladies some questions about the details of their particular fascination with Blythe.

ADAD 4/365: Shirelle
Remember Blythe 365 on flickr? I choose Reya, got into the 40s and folded under the pressure of taking a photo of one doll every day for a year. Last week I decided to re-enlist for "ADAD" or A Doll A Day 2010.
It doesn't matter which doll and it can be any doll but I have to post one a day for a year. I think I can handle this. So far I feel way less pressure. It's really fun and it gives me a chance to showcase my entire doll family so they all get some attention. I will post a link here so you can check them out soon but not until get up to the 40s again!
Don't wanna jinx it.

FIRST BLYTHE POST SALE!!!!!
Okay, so Blythe Post made it's first sale this morning!!!!! YEA!!!!!! It was from a woman who initially inquired with me as to where I got Reya Light, my Black Blythe custom. I told her I made her myself but that I do not make them professionally and I sent her a link to the flickr set I created of my process making Reya. She loved it and ordered the last (well there was only one) postcard of Reya shown above. Oh, I know I shouldn't get too excited but I have never done anything like this before and it just feels so good on a Monday morning to make a tiny bit of money selling something that I made! Oh wow!!! And I just ordered business cards (you can get 50 made free from Moo.com but they advertise on them) yesterday as well to stick in the Jill Bliss envelopes I'm using to ship out the Postcards I sell. Okay! Well, I'll keep you posted on any further progress. Oh! Haha! I should probably link my Etsy shop here on my blog. Heheheh. Duh! I'm giddy! Don't mind me! EEEEeeeee!!! LOL!

Blythe Post is here!
So I started an etsy shop for my Blythe Postcards this weekend, today, this morning to be exact. It's just a tiny one, a small run, a trial and error sort of thing because I have got to try it at least. It was a bit of a pain in the ass to start but I'm starting to get the hang of it. One of my cards was already "Hearted" by someone. And I recieved an "etsy conversation" message almost immediately asking where I got my "Black Blythe." LOL! That's nice.
I need to sharpen my vision for the theme a bit more and God knows I want a better banner but I haven't quite figure out how to do that yet either. I wanted more of an actual postal theme but this will have to do for now.
Check it out when you get a chance. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Zoya Rocks out
It's not really well shown here but I lent Zoya Hamsa's rock guitar (it's slung around her shoulder) for a photoshoot last week and she was loving it!! Apparently she was ready to rock. I don't think Reese could have done as well. She's more the sassy classy white suit type.
