These outfits will go to my great nieces McKenna and Nina. They were supposed to get them last Christmas but I guess I'll give them to them now . As the old saying goes, "better late than never" right?"Let’s face it kids get too much for Christmas anyway.
I have to say this project was actually fun for me. Dressing the doll brought back memories of my own doll playing days. I must admit though while brushing American Girl's hair I had to resist the overwhelming urge to cut it. You know give her bangs or even put her hair in a ponytail and then cut it off. What little girl doesn’t eventually do that? I managed to resist that temptation.
As a youngster I played with dolls alot longer than most kids I think. I’m sorry to say those days didn’t end well. It all started when Barbie was having a party with her friends. Before she knew it Ken and some of his friends arrived. Then G-I Joe ( who is short but mighty ) showed up uninvited with a group of his buddies. Well pretty soon the party took a bad turn. Nurse Barbie turned into Dirty Barbie and well, you know how the rest of that story.
Have a great day.
Peace and Love,
Enjoy the final days of Summer

You are the best!!! Love the dolls dresses and of course the stories. I too loved playing with dolls. My mother continued to grow the family so I traded my dolls for the real "Betsy Wetsy". Those were the days.
Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you so much Judy. My mother wouldn't let us have betsy wetsy. She had too many kids already making a mess. I miss you, especially this time of year. Hope all is well. See you soon.
I had a g i joe and he never went with nurse barbie, dirty barbie or any other barbie although I would like to hear the rest of that story. It's never too late to pick up another Joe.
Dear Jeff, Boy if GI Joe could talk.Only GI Joe knows the end of that story and he took it to his grave. xxoxo
