Monster Crafts

Well, you read the title. This little blog is turning 10 today! I can't believe 10 years have gone by since that day I came up with the name Monster Crafts and created the blog. And, a full decade later, here I am, still standing.  I still remember when I started collecting Monster High dolls. I spent quite a lot of time searching the Internet for information, and that's how I found out so many dedicated blogs. I'm one of those people that, when they like something and feel very passionate about it, they want to talk about it and spend time learning about it. So, what a better way to canalize all that energy and passion than creating my own blog, right? I've already mentioned in past Blogoversary posts that, when I created this blog, I had the idea of building a wooden Monster High dollhouse, with rooms decorated with the theme for each character (or at least the ones I had at that point) and blog about it. Of course, that never happened, as I started working full time ...

Well, you've read the title. This little blog turns 9 years today! I can't believe 9 years have gone by already, it still feels like yesterday. I'm also quite impressed with myself for sticking to something for such a long time. Even though I started blogging back in 2013, I wasn't able to be consistent and put out the content that I was planning until 2019. I think the Making more backgrounds for doll photography post was when things started taking a shift. I don't know what it is, but I think it was at this point when I started enjoying the content that I was putting more, but also trying new things.  Last year I forgot about my blog anniversary, so the last dedicated post was for my 7th blogoversary . On that post, I mention that I've always wanted to do more craft posts, but never got the time or had trouble finding the supplies. Well, since then I've made around 14 dedicated craft posts (which you can find under the doll crafts tag), plus the little t...

Today, 24th April 2020, it's my blog's 7th  anniversary. I can't believe it's been so many years since I came up with the idea to create The Monster Crafts (it was just going to be Monster Crafts , but it was already taken). Since then, lots of things have happened, and the blog has taken a very different direction that I initially had planned.  First attempt using my house as a background I started this blog very inspired by a fellow blogger called Lola's mini homes . She made an incredible Monster High school and dorm rooms out of cardboard and I loved it. I wanted to do something similar but life had other plans for me and I didn't end up doing anything close to that. Soon after starting my blog, I started working almost full time and, in September, I started college, which left me with very little time to work on a big project.  I wanted this to be a mainly craft blog, but truth is I've made very few crafts. The lack of time, space and, let...
