June 2003 World Doll Day
We made Diana Effner's Sweet Dreams for the Shriner's Pediatric Burn Hospital in Galveston, Texas this year.  On World Doll Day, June 14, 2003, we put the finishing touches on the dolls and finished up the bears we made for the boys.  On Thursday, June 19, 2003, we delivered them to the children.  We all had a wonderful time at the hospital and they were so glad we came.  It made us feel that we made a difference, even a small one.

I had a lot of help from many friends throughout the United States, the PDMN, who made dolls, donated Ty beanie babies for the dolls to hold, dresses to wear,  Global for donating wigs, and my wonderful friends and students for this labor of love.  Look in the Gallery for some pictures of the children.

We are now in the planning stages for World Doll Day 2004.  We will be making Diana Effner's Sweet Dreams again for MD Anderson so we need to get busy ladies!!  All your help is appreciated and very special thanks to all of the ladies in our shop for all of their great assistance.

We would love to have you come and see all of the projects available.  Happy dollmaking.
