My 3rd Project is all about Dolls
I love dolls... All dolls, I always have... When I was
young I had my favorites who all slept with me every night... During the day my
dolls were always set up so each of their faces were visible in a grouping...
Over the years my collection became quite large as my
obsession grew hoping one day I'd pass my love of dolls off to a daughter... As
a mother of all boys, well you can imagine my boys didn't share the same love or adornment. Every time I'd leave the house I'd come home to find my dolls covered
with blankets, turned upside down or facing backwards... My boys swore it
wasn't them but I knew they hated my dolls... They said when I wasn't home my dolls
always watch them, freaking them out... To this day when they come over some how my dolls
get covered... It cracks us up❤
When we left Alaska 5 years ago most of my dolls were
left behind
with fellow doll lovers which broke my heart as everyone had a
special story...
For today's Project and my love of dolls
I want to hear
your favorite doll stories...

ReplyDeleteOne of my few childhood memories is the smell of my new doll at Christmas!! They don't smell the same today. I have 3 ceramic dolls that look real and my hubby and son think they are too creepy! I'll send you some pics. Thanks for sharing, Germaine
ReplyDeleteWhen my oldest (Angellica) was 2 (almost 3), she had a set of triplet dolls. My youngest (Sarah) was about 6 months. One day, sarah was having a particularly bad evening and nearing bedtime, Angellica came to Sarah with one of her triplet dolls, snuggled it in beside her in her crib, and said, "Don't be scared Sarah. My baby will hold your hand and be with u all night." The fooling morning, Sarah appeared to be hugging the doll and It was just the sweetest thing.
ReplyDeletewow!! you have a nice collection of dolls... I used to have dolls when I was young.. then it was given to some other kids.. Now my daughter has a few.. she's just starting to play with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute collection! Love the little ATCs you made.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little my best friend and I were into Cabbage Patch Dolls. My very first, and favorite one was a little boy named Harry. He was bald. So whenever I went to spend the night at my friends house...which was every weekend...her aunt(who lived with them) would rub Harry's head and laugh about him being bald and named Harry.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite doll as a child was my Raggedy Ann doll. I carried her EVERYWhere!!

ReplyDeleteI used to love playing house with my dolls and stuffed animals with my sister. We also played school. We had a chalkboard at the end of the hallway in our mobile home and a little table/chairs set. We used the chairs and rocking chairs for the dolls and took turns teaching math and spelling! We then moved on to Barbie dolls and the best memory I have from playing with Barbie's was Robby, a guy that always got us in trouble that lived across the street from us, played Barbie's with us one day! LOL! Somewhere is a picture to prove it! I even had a Barbie McDonald's!
