I dedicate this doll to my adventurous Uncle Carlos who I believe watched over this project from heaven with delight, guiding my hand and soul and helping me to smile through the entire process even while pinpricked. I dedicate this doll to my gorgeous aunts, Dee & Mary for supporting this journey with their love, their "oohs & ahhhs," and for spreading the word about our project to coworkers and friends. -smile- I dedicate this doll to my mother, Mary who taught me to sew, who loves me unconditionally and who checks in on my blog daily for new progress. Mom, you are the BEST! and my BIGGEST fan! Thank you! I love you!...
Now, it's YOUR turn! Make a post... show off the doll YOU helped make. Dedicate it to a friend who touched your heart, a family member who supports you unconditionally. Tell someone thank you for touching your life in a profound way. Make a difference in someones life. Live Life Beautifully. See ya soon! Now that I'm freed up for a time, I'm ready to make rounds and READ YOUR BLOG. :)
