*Pure Sweetness* GIVEAWAY!!!

I’m calling this giveaway ‘Pure Sweetness’ because my girlfriend, Pat gave me this set of paper dollies to give away on my blog! She doesn’t have a blog but she’s been my friend for many years and reads my blog. When I showed the new paper dolls she sent me for my birthday this year…HERE, she read all of the sweet comments. So Pat is ‘pure sweetness’ to send these to me just so that I can give them to one of my blog readers.

This little dollie is pure sweetness, too.

Pat makes these! They are not paper….they are a lightweight wood that she cuts out with a saw! She puts a little wooden peg in the center of the doll and drills holes in the outfits to fit perfectly on the sweet doll. She has gifted me with some beautiful dolls and animals over the years and I cherish each and every one.

My dollies are holding some of mine and some are on a little clothesline.

So I made a little chenille pouch to send them in and I will include a ‘clothesline’ and some tiny clothespins in the package.

I just have to show you how cute the homespun bunnies are now. They have new ribbons and are for sale in Diane’s Dream Designs. I hope you’ll take the time to visit my new blog. (receive a FREE bunny with any purchase!)

I'm in agreement about the "pure sweetness" and "precious"!

I used to play with paper dolls as a little girl! These will hold up better being made of wood. How sweet Pat is to share her dolls with your blog friends!

It's another beautiful day! Enjoy!
