Mdeline.. SOOO GLAD YOU POSTED THE PICTURES. I just got a pic of Apple Annie. It was hard to keep track of her. She was at the farmers market looking for apples for pie. Seems I don't make enough apple desserts to keep her satisfied. LOL !
But she is a darling..and your pictures of the "girls" turned out soo great. Thanks for posting !!! MJ

Nancy- You were so prompt and sent your Dotee early. I have to beg your forgiveness as i will probably be near the deadline for sending out by the end of the month... It is very late tonight amd will be just as late tomorrow.
I would do Dotees only but unfortunately my paying job has other priorities for my time! I just love these Dotee exchanges but I am constantly battling the deadlines.
When I retire in a few months I am hoping for a different result.

Beth,
I am so glad she got there safely. I knew she would like her new home and that you would help her enter into her journal. She has a new family and I know will be happy there.
I am glad you liked her.

Hi Brenda, I am looking forward to the little Dotee doll. I so love making these dolls and getting them is wonderful. I hang them on a rod hanger between the sides of the closet door in my sewing room for all who visit to see.
Hugs,

Oh Maddie.. I will be looking for Annie..
Unfortuneately, there was a miscalculation for the birthing date on your Dotee and she is just not here yet. But, there is hope. And She could, maybe be born on the quilt retreat I will be at from Sunday thru Thursday morn. I hear there will be 15 midwives available to help with the birthing, so she should turn out just fine.
She will be in her layette and on her way to you late next week. LOL.
Hope you will want to keep her and adopt her as your very own!
MJ
