For the month of April, most of my Blythe pictures will have something to do with art, since that is the theme for the monthly giveaway in Blythe World on Facebook.

The Blythe doll in this picture is Curly Blue Babe, Wearing Mondrian’s stock outfit.

Have a beautiful day!
I could have used Heavenly Strawberry as the model for this picture, but that seemed too obvious, so I put her dress on Simply Guava instead. This picture is for “Strawberry “ in Blythe a Day on Flickr.

Light chocolate or dark chocolate, it doesn’t matter—just give me chocolate!
This Blythe doll is Zoe and Her Pet Fish, for “Dark Chocolate” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. She is wearing Heavenly Strawberry’s stock dress. A few years ago I started saving the pretty heart-shaped candy boxes that my dear husband gives me for Valentine’s Day, instead of tossing them when the chocolates are gone, because they work well in dolly pictures.
Meanwhile, at The Museum of Cat Art, it’s “Wear a cat costume for free admission” day! Let’s go!

This Blythe doll is Pretty Peony, wearing her stock dress, for “Puzzles” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. Was this theme chosen with me in mind?? I can only assume, yes! Someone knows that I love puzzles!
I will never “Lego” of your heart.
This Blythe doll is Daunting Drusilla, wearing an exquisite dress…but sadly, I can’t remember who made it. Today’s theme is “Lego” (obviously). At the beginning of the month, when I read through the list of themes, I didn’t have any Legos, so I ordered this fun puzzle (from Amazon), featuring Lego mini figures, for the background. The mini figures on it are so cute that I bought a blind box of six figures, one of which you can see on the heart in this picture. This was fun and different for me.
Howdy, partner! Happy Valentine’s Day!
This Blythe doll is My Little Candy, with a Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll and a Momiji doll for “Partner” in Blythe a Day on Flickr.
