Blythe Review: Customizer

Happy day!

I recently adopted my Rainy Day Parade girl (now known as "Chevelle") from Sugaroni. After having her for a few weeks, I decided I wanted to give her a few customizations. I've seen Ana aka Sugaroni do some work on her own girls and I figured who better to customize her than her previous owner? So, we sealed the deal and Chevy was sent off to the Sugaroni Spa.

I know Ana didn't intend to customize girls to start with. But I seriously hope it's something she'll continue to do along with her beautifully knitted sweaters and hats and her quality letter pressed Blythe related adoption papers because she is amazing at it.

She kept me up to date during Chevy's entire stay. Letting me know what part of the process she was working on, supplying pictures and getting my input.

I also had her spray matted, which I have never seen in person before and I was nervous. To my delight, it looks very nice in person and photographs wonderfully.

Along with the spray matte, she also changed out her eyechips, painted her eyelids, new eyelashes and new custom pull rings.

I very much recommend the Sugaroni Spa if you are wanting one of your girls customized. She's reasonable and has an eye for keeping the dolls original integrity while giving her personality. So shoot her a message on Flickr and see if she's available for your girl. You won't regret making your girl your own.

The proof is in the pudding! She looks amazing and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I have been on an adoption spree lately with Blythe girls. I am now up to 6! O.O Which has me very surprised! I went from not having any attachment to them to now having trouble thinking about getting rid of any.

Anyhow, this is my latest adopted girl; Abigail Dawn. Takara hit the nail on the head when they named her "Friendly Freckles" ~ It really suits her. I even said out loud that she looks "friendly" when I was opening her.

This doll was the perfect remedy for my redheaded obsession lately. I wanted a redheaded girl so bad. I was seriously considering a V-Smash or Cloud Bowl Nine. I had no thoughts of even getting a Friendly Freckles, but one came up for adoption with an MSR and who could pass them up as a duo?

I'll be adding some pics of my other girls as soon as I find the time.

Speaking of time... I've decided to start trying and making my life more simple to make time for the things I truly enjoy. I'll be clearing out a lot of the non-blythe related stock and liquidating it to focus solely on having a blythe/doll related shop. And one that I don't let run my life. Don't get me wrong, I plan to keep my customer service #1. But I also have to live my life.

With that being said, I am thinking of overhauling this blog when I get more time to be a total Blythe friendly blog.

I was even thinking of adding "Ask a Blythe" where you guys can submit questions and concerns and one of my Blythe girls will answer you. Cute, eh? :)
