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...
