It’s the season of giving! This year I had planned to get some little presents for my dolls, but with a dozen dolls – that’s a lot of little presents! I’d like to think that all the goodies that I get throughout the year would make up for the lack of presents to open on a certain day this year… I may be getting something for Mollie though. Mollie is my Simply Sparkly Spark, I got her as a Christmas present last year so her ‘birthday’ is December 25th and I think she’ll be getting a little something since it’s her ‘birthday’ too.

The first December that I spent with Blythes, I got my dolls (and I only had three in December 2009!) little hair clips that I still use today for both the dolls and myself when I need something small. It’s weird thinking of a time when I only had three dolls because since then my family has grown by another nine. And it’s also weird to think of a time before having Kenners, before having some of my favourite girls, before having people locally to play dollies with (!) because that was the biggest thing that happened for me in 2011. I gained local dolly friends and that’s amazing.

Life is better with dolls! And I think one of my goals (maybe) for 2013 will be to actually photograph and document each doll’s birthday and get them or make them a little thing. For some of them, 2013 will mark the first year that they arrived in my house, for some it’ll be their fourth year here and that’s pretty awesome too!

Are you planning on getting your Blythes presents for the holiday season?
