In today's world, most kids don't have a clue as to what good ole fashion fun means. If they're not plugged into something, then it ain't fun. Even at 3 1/2 years old, the computer has challenging games for their skill levels but, it doesn't really let you have an imagination.For Christmas, My Mother-inlaw (MiMi) gave my youngest daughter a book filled with hand made paper dolls and accessories. An original idea that took her weeks to complete. Each doll and accessory was cut from vintage fabric, then an iron on transfer was carefully cut for each piece giving them durability. After that, small pieces of velcro were cut and placed on each piece and on every page of the book so that each doll and accessory could be kept neatly inside. Lastly, every doll was given a name and placed on a page with coordinating clothing and accessories.
When Holly opened it, she immediately played with it and continues to play with it everyday. Her imagination is unbelievable! I love listening to her bring these dolls to life with her endless conversations. It's impressive how creative she is at her age and to see her having good ole fashion fun.
Her book that keeps the paper dolls.
Can't play paperdolls without a tea set.

I LOVE all of your photographs. You are becoming quite the photographer. Needless to say, I especially enjoyed the paper dolls being immortalized.
