Teachers

I am posting more teachers that I completed for a friend that lives in Texas that she ordered.  I was so excited with how they turned out. 

Baptism

This is a picture of a sweet doll I painted this last weekend for an old friend that approached me with the wonderful idea of painting a doll of her niece for her baptism.   I loved that she asked me to paint this doll and how it turned out.  I usually don't add arms on my wooden dolls but I wanted to have the girl hold a book that she was holding in the picture that was given to me to use as my direction for her.  I love how it turned out and wished I had done it for my daughter at her baptism.

Shout out to all the Teachers!!

This week is teacher appreciation to the teachers at my kids school.  I feel like we really got lucky with the teachers my kids had.  It amazes me how my kids can leave my house for 7 hours each day and come back smarter and with so much excitement.

I truly believe that teachers deserve far more than they get and above.  The ones we have had, have truly been a blessing to mine and my children lives.  LOVE our Teachers!

This was something I felt would show how much we love our teachers.

Meet the Snow's!

I really enjoyed creating this family!  I am also loving my new doll sizes that I got.  I felt so limited with the smaller sizes and now found a way to help my families grow! 

Practically Perfect in Every way!!

In our house a spoonful of sugar is what helps everything, well at least if you ask my 8 year old.  Sugar brightens everything for her.  In our house though there is no such thing wiggling noses that begin marching toys, laughing fits that end with us floating to the ceiling or even a dog that I can understand. My life is much more plain then that but, a girl can dream right?   In my dream world life is a musical.  Everything ends in song and my kids want to listen to me when I ask them to do something the first time because who knows what crazy adventure is up my sleeve if they do.

Mary Poppins is a favorite, and I often assume my kids know who this "practically perfect" individual is, besides me of course.  (ha ha ha)  When thinking of ideas to create for wooden dolls Mary was a perfect choice!  

Frozen inspired

I don't know about any of you but Frozen has been a huge hit in our home. At any given moment any of my 3 kids can been found reenacting any part of the move. We are a bit obsessed. I have a bit of a crush on Olaf. He is probably my favorite of the movie. I had been asked by a friend if I would paint a Frozen inspired set for a birthday gift for her niece. This was when the fun began.  This set has been a favorite for my girls to play with and it has been so fun to see the different ways they have used it to play with. Just recently I was asked if I did a Sven and Kristoff. I answered no only because I felt that there was too much detail involved with Sven and I my style is a more simplistic one. With very minimal prodding I changed my mind and decided to make Sven and Kristoff. I was so excited I did. I made some for more girls and the fun has begun. I was happy for the challenge and even more pleased with the turn out.

This was what one daughter created one night while she was suppose to be sleeping. How can you possibly get made when this is what you find. She inspires me!!
