A DECADE OF PULLIP / Happy 10th Birthday Neeki!

[DeadlyNova]

Today marks a very special day for me - today it has been 10 years since my very first Pullip arrived!!!

There are plenty of people here who have been collecting way longer, but it still feels like a SUPER long time to me. If you told me ten years ago that I'd have the amount of dolls I do now I'd probably laugh at you. Not because I didn't want that many, but because I simply would not believe I could get that many. If you told me I'd have ALL of my seemingly unattainable at that time grails, I definitely wouldn't believe that.

But here we are!

I took Neeki out today to celebrate her birthday!

I even got her some candles to hold, and of COURSE the cashier said "Ooh, who's birthday?" and my socially awkward self, not wanting to seem like a psycho for buying candles for a doll, said "uhhhh random family member!!" so she probably still thought I was crazy.

I also decided it would be fun to make a collage of 10 years worth of photos of Neeki! one from every year! I have 600 photos of her alone on my flickr, and that isn't even including a lot of my earlier photos that I deleted, so...

I managed to put this together though! It has a photo for every year except for 2014. I wasn't in the hobby from 2012-2014, although I did occasionally post. The photo included for 2013 was actually the ONLY photo I took that year. xD
