When I was a little girl, I LOVED paperdolls. Today, as I was making a set for a little girl who suffers from several rare diseases, it occured to me that perhaps a paper doll swap for us would be fun.
If this is something that might interest you, please let me know. After about a week, I will decide if there is enough interest to pursue the swap.
I would keep it simple: paperdoll of your choice---great ones on the internet or make your own (I am not that talented!!)...at least 3 outfits of clothing, color everything or print in color if you choose the ones on the internet...just google paperdolls...lots of varieties (cowgirls, victorian, vintage, etc.)
These should easily mail in an envelope for 1 stamp, possibly 2.
Just some thoughts. Let me know.
Hugs,
Portia
Dates would come later if there is enough interest.

OH! Portia :-) We had a paper doll swap last year, Beth was hostess. My partner was Debbie Horn & she even made my doll a closet & sent along a tea set. We had a lot of fun doing this swap, so I hope there will be some interest in it again ;-)

Maddie, I don't even remember seeing that one last year...drat! I don't want to barge in on Beth if she usually does it. I will contact her or she can me if she sees this post. I can only imagine what Debbie Horn did...she does great stuff!!! I have not seen her on a swap for a while. I hope she is okay.
Hugs,
Portia

Hi Portia :-) I don't think Beth will mind if you host.
I haven't seen Debbie on the site. Quiet as a MOUSE....
Wonder how she & Big Buzz are ? Thought of emailing her a couple of times but then thought
better of it, just in case anything is a miss.

I did this last year too! I also have been asking about Little Buzz and Big Buzz and no one seems to know. I did send an email quiet a while back, but never heard any reply. I have some sweet Treasures that Debbie made!
I know Beth has eye surgery coming up, I am saying a prayer for our Sweet farm Girl! Portia, the pictures would still be there go back a few pages and just look for Beth's name, makes it faster to find.
I would love to join this year too!!
Hugs!

Have seen your posts....Portia, If you'd like you go ahead and host. Got more eye appointments to go to so my hosting will be limited to the monthly ornament swaps for a while...You girls have a grand time...I might even could join in on that one since I have my Valentine Ribbon Doll done....hummmmmmm.....Smiles, Beth

Hi Portia
Are you making these dolls from card board and drawing your own faces?
I do't have a printer so I was just wondering first.

Count me in for sure...One surgery got cancelled but have to go back to the retina doctor...My retinas are about to the point of detachment..Because of other issues surgery is harder than for other folks....The Lord will take care of it all. He has been so faithful!

Well Beth,
It is so good knowing that God is right by your side in All this, He sure was with me last week when I had a tooth pulled. The dentist was very good and kind, and the healing has been fast.
I just know He will take care of you when you finally do have your surgery.
Blessings and take care
Darlene

I'd like to join.
Could they be vintage ones? or do we have to make them?
Either way, I'm in.
Thanks...love paper dolls.

Also, glad Darlene and Beth confirmed.
