Greetings from the Crazy Doll Lady

Goodness knows I don’t need to be starting another blog.

I’ve already got two main Blogger blogs – Joy’s Blog (my book blog) and Joysweb (photos, memes, and other weird stuff), as well as a few others that are mostly lists of various sorts. And a couple of WordPress blogs that I update only occasionally. Plus a number of others that have never quite made it beyond the personal and private category (maybe someday . . . ).

So you’d think I’d have quite enough to keep me busy as a little bee. And you’d be right, of course. But right up there with my addiction to books is my other bad habit – dolls. And although I’m not actively collecting at the moment, I do have a huge collection. Well, it’s actually more of an accumulation – it’s not coherent enough to be called a collection.

I always say I never met a doll I didn’t like (apologies to Will Rogers), and though that might be a bit of an exaggeration, it’s very nearly true. I find them hard to resist. Just ask my husband (no, don’t – he’s nearly as addicted as I am).

But I thought it might be fun to start a little blog dedicated to dolls and my addiction to passion for the little dears. So for my first entry, I’m posting a group shot of some of our Sasha dolls.

They’re a very mischievous group – especially the boy in blue (called Gregor). It’s really not a good idea to let them congregate like this, because you never know what they’re likely to get up to.
