I've got some journalling to add along the brown machined stitched lines but it's finished apart from that.
And it means sewing another ragdoll to send to Haiti. I was so glad I'd made a start on him when I saw this Dolly Donations post and spotted that there is a photo of a little girl holding one of my dolls (it's the ninth photo down, she has turned him over and is looking at his back).
And it means a really big thank you to the Paper Turtle herself. Deb for her surprise parcel straight from the sunshine of Arizona. Thanks, Deb! Much appreciated. Your notebooks are beautiful.

That is SO cool that you got to see a photo of the doll you made being loved! It's such a great cause anyway, and to be able to see your work "in action" is awesome. Hooray for you!
:o) And what a fun surprise to see my handwriting on your blog. So glad you were pleased with the little bundle I sent. xo
I just love this layout,Sian.... the warmth,sun and sea 'feel' just shine out of it....what perfect colours.
Thanks for introducing me to Alexa's blog....I didn't know whether to laugh or cry most of the time!
Thinking warm sunny thoughts for you.
That's what I like ... positive thoughts :) ...yup I'm with you, the sun MUST come out again soon LOL. Just loving the layout

It must have warmed your heart to see your gift on that post :-) Good for you! Glad you got some happy mail too - a fitting reward xx
What a brilliant idea Dolly Donations is and what a gorgeous dolly you made. Love her little blue shoes!
A new blog to check out - woohoo!
Must have been very heart warming to see your doll being loved all those miles away. This new one looks lovely too.
those dollies are so cute!!! what a wonderful project.
i wish i could send you some sunshine and warm temps from arizona - we have plenty to spare!
I love that there's a photo of a little girl with one of your dolls. What a great gift to give a child! I love that you got a little bit of sunshine from Deb too! We could do with sunshine down this way - wet and miserable today! :(
How lovely to see one of your gorgeous little creations on the blog. I love the little shoes you have put on your new dolly.
How lovely to see that your doll actually made it there and is now making someone happy. Love the little shoes.
I love your layout,and how lovely to actually see that little girl with your dolly. it's nice to see it really did go to someone who will love her :-)
Oh, those shoes are just sooo sweet! Is there a pattern? Scaling up to (small) adult size? How affirming to actually see your lovely doll in a little one's hands ... And thank-you for the lovely mention! Much appreciated!
Such a good idea to brighten up the day with holiday scrapping. The weather here is awful too, been trying to get into the garden but it has rained almost nonstop for a week.....should be getting better from tomorrow though! Fingers crossed for the both of us.
xx
PS. Thank you for the lovely comments you leave on my blog, love that you take the time to do so.
Dark and dreary here, too, but certainly not on your blog. The layout, cute doll, and photos would brighten anyone's day.
A great uplifting post to brighten my dreary evening :)
Love the story of the dolls - such a simple gesture but one that made all the difference to that little girl xx
How cool to know that one of your dollies is already so very much loved! Yay to happy mail! Oh, and your comments are getting through just fine.

Are you kidding? I am a huge Beatles fan! They are timeless and loved by people of all ages. I wish I could afford to get their remastered box set. Your doll is so lovely! what an awesome charity.
I really like this LO - clean, sharp, bright, and with textured lettering, it really speaks to me! (Also Loooove the rollercoaster paper :-)) x
I'll send you some of our sunshine, it's been an absolutely gorgeous week here! :D Love your LO and the doll is absolutely gorgeous.
