I have others as well as these, that didn't get to come to this party, but have been to other "parties", and I sigh as I realize that I cannot part with any of them. Oh well...there's lots of other stuff to "eliminate" from the stash! Thank you for your "kindred spirit" in many areas!!!Pamela M.

I have got ride of dolls in previous moves, but only when they had deteriorated in ways that made them not attractive for public viewing (sticky plastic faces and hair being the primary culprit, staining of odd colors on their skin due to metals stored for years -- things that I really could not fix). But other than that, I pack them claustrophobically tight in boxes and they get to come along.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389829595981028640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-85997339343122869172016-12-08T15:07:47.929-05:002016-12-08T15:07:47.929-05:00Oh Pam, what a fun and sweet post!

You must be a kindred spirit in more ways than one! I believe Jesus delights in us, His precious children...and He enjoys seeing us enjoying His birthday celebration...because that is one way of sharing His love with others. At least that is how I feel about it! I think He understands this, don't you? Blessings to you my friend.Pamela M.

What beautiful dolls! I think I liked Pammy best, but Elva was so sweet and, of course, the story of Valerie was precious. Praying for your dear friend to be healed. My mom made us plaid dresses with white collars, but they weren't taffeta. And I love that your mom copied the dress for the doll she gave to you. So sweet.
