Hello!

It's been a long time since I have tried blogging, and this is the first I will be blogging about a hobby ^_^

There have been many hobbies in my life, but the BJD hobby has been the one to stick the longest, I really enjoy this hobby for many reasons; meeting people, creativity, cuteness, imagination, fun, etc. If it weren't for this hobby I don't think I'd have more than two friends. Thanks to this hobby I was even able to meet people when I moved across the country to a place I'd never been.

I got my first doll in 2007, it was a Minifee Shiwoo Elf (Happy Hours Version) from when Luts was still carrying them, I ordered with a friend who got a full choice so I could get a girl body for the head I wanted. When I started I thought I would only ever own girls, and only MSD sized dolls... but to my suprise I have had a number of different sizes and a good many of them were males!

A number of my friends in the hobby have stories and characters for their dolls and rarely ever sell the ones they get, where as I seem to be a lot more fickle with mine. I buy because I like the sculpt, but then I don't always bond with them so they go to new homes and I look for something else. Though in the last year or so I have started to think about potential stories or themes for some dolls I've been eying, and maybe even trying to make stories for ones I already have to see if it'd help me hold on to my dolls longer. Luckily my friends in this hobby have been very understanding and non judgmental about the way I collect, I am very grateful to them all!

This hobby has been great for me to not only meet people and make friends, but also to have a creative outlet. I absolutely love doing Aesthetic work on dolls and have even taken some commissions in the last year, which I'm hoping to be able to do many more in the future!

... ok, my brain stopped working, so I'll have to apologize for the sort of blunt ending here. Thanks for stopping by!
