Hmm, maybe the second closeup picture is a little too much, I just wanted everyone to see the detail that Holly put into this. Sorry it is a little blurry. No need to blink, it is not your vison :angry42:

My mama would be proud. She always worked with her hands, here's a pic of a little porclean doll she dressed for me and one for my daughter.. She did the hair and everything.

Ok top one is for Honey, bottom one for me, and you see those little flowers, she even made those. The dresses were fashioned from trims. All hand sewn.

They are lovely, Holly. Now you know where you get your craft side from :)
I've just spent a couple of hours being instructed by my daughter on a project. It was fun. She was very serious and telling me, if you do this today mummy, then you can have free choice tomorrow, but you have to sit at my desk still so you can reach the lollies!!

OOoooooooooooooooooooooo the shrine Ruth Ann made for me is amazing! It is a Marine Corps shrine!!! It is so cool! I have not had a chance to take a picture to share with you all, but suffice it to say I am absolutely tickled PINK--or should I say red, white & blue!!

Ruth Ann, you are incredible! I PM'ed you, but publicly, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!

Ruth Ann's picture does not do it justice! It is so lovely. I am inclined to just sit here and admire it :-)

I put it on the mantel where everyone will see it Thursday!
