Here is a better picture of the doll - not hearing her name yet - that Karen made me...

Not named yet? I keep whispering my name to this lady and where are we...whoa, where are we going?

Christmas 2011


Christmas 2011, originally uploaded by creativedawn.
I found myself in Center City last night and the beautiful, brightly lighted Christmas Tree transformed Love Park with its brilliance! The Park has been further transformed by the "Christmas Village" - It was like a smorgasbord of the best handcrafts from around the world. From lovely handcrafted jewelry to beautifully woven fabrics and knotted bracelets...it is truly the place to find that special gift! The smells of yummy hot chocolate along with the lovely voices of young performers permeated the cold night air! Merry Christmas to All - To All a good night!

Hello!   This box of Christmas gifts is begging to be ripped apart ,  I mean opened.  C-R-A-F-T yahoo group (the best group of ladies you will find )  held its annual C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S swap.  Each of us make and purchase gifts - 9 of them each representing the letters in C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S!   My swap mate, Karen Mallory sent her gifts out early (BEFORE THE DEADLINE)....thank you very much Karen.  I am torturing myself  that is waiting for the gift package mailed to her to actually reach her before I rip open these tempting gifts!   AND I'm staying away from your blog Karen ... I want to be surprised...lol!  Let's see I can wait that long ....    Ohhhhhhhh!!!!   Lol!   It IS like Christmas morning! Karen is a wonderfully talented doll artist and I KNOW that there is a wonderful, colorful, beautiful, exquisite DOLL in that box!!!!
 If you have the chance, please go visit her blog and see all her wonderful creations!
Thanks to Khristina (best hostess in all of yahoo)  for  hosting the swap!   Wow!  Khris and her hubby are driving the family across Australia (relocating back to her home) this week.  WAVING at you!  Where are you now?   (Are we there yet?)
Anyhoo ... updates SOON as what's in that BOX ! ! !
M-E-R-R-Y C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S ! ! ! ! !
