Paper dolls anyone?
When I was a kid I didn't have the finer things in life, but I surely had a lot of fun... One of my fondest memory is playing with paper dolls. I cut models from old magazines and made dresses for them. I also bought paper dolls that came in a sheet of paper and you had to glue them to card stock because the paper was so cheap they tore very easily... Then new ones came. Ones in little books in which the dolls where from card stock and the dresses from copy paper. I'm so fond of them as I'm of the many memories I have playing with my sisters and cousins.
One of my cousins found one of my dolls in a box and gave it to me. She's so worn... I remember taping her neck so it would be more resistant, she still has that tape! I almost cried when I saw it again after almost 20 years lost. It's incredible how some simple pieces of paper can bring you so much joy to your life.
That's why I made my own paper doll. I named her Marie in honor of my daughter. She is accompanied by her friends, Perro and Gato (dog and cat) and her very own cloud (we all need our very own cloud).
Need a wish? Dress her with her fairy dress and you got it!
Want to go underwater? She's ready, dress her with her mermaid tail and she can go as deep as you want.
Not sure what to do? She also has her everyday dress that she can wear while you decide.
And when you're done, just dress her with her night gown and her teddy bear and she will be ready to go to bed.
Want one of your own? Get her at my Etsy shop! And if you need someone to play with, just give me a call. I also need someone to play with :)
