For my 10th year of Doll Making I was published…
“Dollshouse Miniature Magazine”…

Martha Puff has written a lovely piece about my dolls,
how I got started and what inspires me…

As you can see the article shows quite a few of my dolls too…
some of which have been featured here on my blog…

It really is quite special seeing my work
featured in another magazine…

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate
10 years of doll making… can you…?

“Listen to your heart and go with your intuition
…its never failed me, there’s magic in that…”
~ Me ~

Come pull up a chair and join me for a slice of cake
to celebrate my tenth year of doll making…

Oh how time flies when one is having fun…
Thank you for being with me every step of the way…
