I'm 25 years old and live down in South Georgia with my husband, our two toddler daughters, and our fuzz-son - Charlie, the miniature schnauzer (who ended up being not so mini). Full-time, I'm a mommy to my two and four-year olds. I work retail in a clothing department store on the weekends for extra pocket money (read - doll money). I enjoy photography, art, reading smutty romance novels, horror movies, and playing with dolls ;)
I've loved and collected dolls since I was a child, and that love has carried over into my adulthood. I actually discovered
and joined the Asian Ball Jointed Doll hobby back in 2006. My first BJD was an Elfdoll Soah, purchased from Junkyspot. I was
hooked and more large-sized dolls arrived over the next few years. I hit college age, life got complicated and free time
became non-existent. My dolls ended up in their boxes more often than not, so I decided it was time to part with them. One by one,
they were all sold - my Soah being the last I would let go.Well, years went by, and I had children. As I'd walk the toy isles, shopping for dolls for my girls, that old love crept back into my life. I started out by fixing up and customizing old dolls my girls had discarded, then I bought my own Monster High doll and repainted it... while shopping for a wig for the MH custom, there they were again... beautiful BJDs.
My husband bought me a Resinsoul Ling a few weeks later ;) And here we are, fully returned from hiatus. This go round, I have actually started doing my own aesthetic work instead of always buying company default faceups and such. It's been an interesting journey for sure and a real learning experience. I love making the dolls I choose my own little creations.

The Site
Voodoolie Dolls is first and foremost, a boredom buster. Something to fiddle with while my girls nap. It started out as just a regular blog (first on Blogger then on Tumblr), but I thought it'd be fun to share some tips and tricks I've learned over the years in this hobby.
This site has been tested in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I personally use Chrome, so that's the browser it tends to look/operate best in. Designed for 1280x800 screen resolution.
