I just want to thank you all for being in this swap! Its a lot of work.. but sooo worth it. I have loved seeing the dolls and sometimes I would look at the list of names, check out your blogs or what ever site I had for you and try to imagine what type of doll you would create! I love how swaps inspire us to create something! I know quite a few of you told me you hadnt made dolls in years.. so.. it was definitely time for you to play with dolls again!! We must never outgrow our love for dollys dears!!we're all still little girls at heart!! I suppose I shouldnt speak for all of us when I say that.. but it is sooo true about me.. I am a little princess!! Ha!! Stay tuned for the next swap. MINIATURES!! no details yet.. but promises to be great fun!
I also want to thank Jillian for sending me the sweetest gifts! thank you sooo much! I used one of the ribbons on my easter tree! this is a picture of the goodies she sent me! I love the painted dress Jillian!! thank you!
Oops.. I have a feeling that some of these pictures are huge.. I used my photobucket instead of flickr ( I had a good reason,, which seems like a really stupid reason now.. OH Well.. )
