Birth of a new Blythe Doll Blog.

It’s a special day for me today! Not only is it my Birthday BUT it’s also the birth of a new Blythe Doll Blog.

Today is the launch of “Lollitams” a collaboration of the Lollipoppet and Tamsart label.

Over the many years we have known each other we have come to realize we have so much in common it would only be fitting to do a joint Blog!

So….for the people who have just stumbled across this blog, just to confuse you here is a little about us…

Well, we are both “Tanya’s”, married, mothers of 2 girls and we love to create unique items, with a special interest in Blythe Dolls….

Tanya S is based in Sydney whilst I am based in Melbourne Australia but that isn’t going to stop us from showcasing all things Blythe (with hints of other doll varieties) as well as having photos of our art, handmade creations and giveaways!

A week has past since the National Blythe “Birthday Party” themed event which was held in Adelaide Australia. The feedback on http://www.weplaywithdolls.net/forums/ has been fabulous and was enjoyed by all. Its great seeing all the photos that everyone has uploaded to the dedicated flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/blythemeet2010/.

This year there were some amazingly talented Blythe creators who donated items for the special day and I was gobsmacked at what was up for grabs!
Both Tanya and I donated items which were door prizes and the goodie bags!
