We are celebrating my 4 year old granddaughter's birthday on Thanksgiving. I made her a small scale Cabbage patch type doll and a wardrobe for it.

Comments (8)Lucy, Beautiful collage. It's nice to see some blooming plants. Lucy...my daughter is coming tomorrow. I CAN NOT WAAAAIIIITTTT. I may not be online much the next couple weeks because I'm going to spend every single minute I can with her and my son (he can only spend the weekend due to his work schedule) during there Christmas college break. I probably won't be able to sleep much tonight in anticipation of her coming home. I told Picase (my cat) he better enjoy the peace and quite tonight while he can. She is bringing her two kittens with her. LORDY...it is going to be interesting...3 cats in one house. ooofff dah! Thanks for sharing your collage. What is the pink flower right below the datura?

Comments (27)When we 4 kids were quite little, we had our Christmas tree presents on Christmas morning. Our father would have been up helping assemble toys and liked to sleep in, so the routine in our house was that Santa stopped with gifts on Christmas eve, and then a 2nd time. Santa would stop by again on his way back to the North Pole and leave the larger gifts that were not wrapped. Dad had to have his coffee first, and then he would announce that he could hear Santa arriving from his last rounds, so we had better go upstairs so Santa could stop by with his gifts. We had to stand at the top of the stairs, and we could not see anything downstairs with the way they were enclosed. On this last visit of his route, Santa entered our front door. Dad would answer the door, and we could hear Santa jingling around the living room as Dad had a one way conversation. "Yes, Ellen has been a good girl this year and knew her addition table well. Brian was working hard to remember to clean up his room. Sheila was a good girl too, but she needed to eat her vegetables at dinner without complaining. Maureen was being very good taking a nap every afternoon like Mommy says." Then Dad would wish Santa a safe return trip, and slam the front door. That was the signal that we could dash downstairs. Under the tree were wonders to behold, large, bulky and unwrapped. Years later as teens assigned to decorate the tree, we came upon the jingle bells, still wired to the store display card. Our Dad was quite the one for telling stories and keeping things lively....See MoreCan you resist this arts & crafts project?
Comments (11)Those are really cute. I've used the "heads" of people on cards I've made for them.....one was a window card and the person was looking out the window. Another was for a friend who has a camper. I had her and her husband's heads looking out the window and door. I've used their heads as the center of a flower....See MoreMy new granddaughter and a great baby gift
Comments (38)bpath, My GD plays with that doll and all her other ”stuffdies” all the time. I have had to repair several of her stuffed animal but not the Avery Lamb. It is in perfect condition. I’m pretty sure that the little pocket on the lamb is closed at the top. I won’t be able to check on that until after next week. My GD is definitely a cutie and she is precocious for sure. (Not that I am bragging 😊). I wish I could show her face but her Mom and Dad would not want that. I took up cake decorating 10 years ago when my first GD was born. I haven't taken any classes but as we all know the internet is full of instructions and ideas. I have started teaching my GD how to frost and do various piping techniques. They love making cakes for their mom and dad’s birthdays and other occassions. Maybe I should start a thread on homemade decorated cakes. ETA. I just noticed that I had commented 4 years ago on pocket on the Avery Lamb Doll. It is not open at the top....See More
