Such a wonderful thing you are doing. Such sad stories of terribly sick children. The dolls are wonderful and you have done a marvelous job.

Thanks Ruthie. I heard that 300 children a day get a mass in their head. SO SAD.

Hi Vickey, Sent you an email but.my computer crashed so don't know if you received it or not. Loved seeing a doll with a dress made from some of the fabric I had sent. Showed my husband and he said,"When are you going to send more". Hope you are well and again God bless you for doing this. BrendaK

Hi Brenda

Thought I had answered the letter, but with the computer crashing, you may not have gotten it. I can't recall specific fabric and connect with who sent what, as i have to put it all together and cut, sew etc. Wish I knew which doll it was. I am thrilled that you were able to remember and see the doll wearing it. There have been and will be many others going out to these kids that you have been/will be a part of. I don't know how I'd have done as much as I have without help from good people like you. The postage has gone up tremenously, but thanks to help in that direction, the dolls still go out. They'll always go out, but maybe be more delayed with todays rates. I have to buy the box for mailing due to their size. Last one was over $21 dollars. I KNOW THAT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. Seems to be related to being size and distance. Don't misunderstand...am not asking for money. Still have enough to mail out 3 more dolls and will take out of our income what is needed when that runs out. Just say prayers that the Lord will keep providing as help becomes needed. The largest need right now is skin colored fabric in a minimum of 3/4 yard incraments for each body. Girls are 24 inches high and boys are 28 inches high...that and white for nightgowns in 1 and 1/2 yard increments, or a stain free sheet makes nice nightgowns. Nice to hear from you and hope this note made sense. I appreciate your husbands attitude. He seemed to know how important these dolls (hopefully) will be as a 'friend' to a child.

did you send me your address with a request for the patterns for the boy and girl? If not, I'll see you get them. Just please be sure that a minimum of one doll is made and given to a VERY sick child. Thanks.

Vickey Stamps ( I sent out 4 patterns last Thursday...was yours one of them?)

Am waiting on an address and it will be on its way. Thanks so much.

Eve...not sure, but thought I mentioned that I designed the dolls and the doll's dress templates.

I've seen your previous posts of this type of doll and think they are really wonderful gifts. I'm sure she's going to love and treasure it. Thanks again for sharing your creations.

FLO-r
still need a mailing address, if you would like a doll pattern kit. Please let me know. Thanks.

for those who are tracking the dolls I personally have sent out....the one that went to an 'abused' little girl was received and much cared for. She was carrying it around with both heads showing, and excited to go inside the house to show it to her new mom and baby brother. Warmed my heart to hear it. She had been out in the yard with her 'new daddy', when it was delivered. Just wanted to share. The older couple are adopting the two of them.
