Happy New Year!

We spent the last week with our family in NJ. We had so much fun, and it was hard to leave. We got 10 inches of snow and got to play with my niece. She's a bundle of fun energy. So hard to leave her behind.

I recently did a paper doll swap with my friend Julie. This was a first for both of us, and we had fun trying something new. Here is the doll and outfits I made:

I made Julie a little "pouch" for her dolls. Hopefully she can swap with others and fill it up! This pink outfit is my favorite. I made it with vintage fabrics and even stitched up a little purse to match!

Next is her blue party dress. A little tulle peeking out at the hem...

Here is the doll and outfits Julie made for me. My doll is on display in this lovely holiday outfit right now.

I'll put on her garden party dress once my tree comes down, maybe in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Julie for creating such beauties for me!

We had a lot of fun creating fashions for our dolls. It was all inspired by this book:

Artful Paper Dolls by Terry Taylor
