Almost finished up the mommy and daddy dolls- I am going to put them in the mail tomorrow morning after I finish stitching up the bottom but didn't they turn out cute? The transfer paper has a shiny finish, which I don't like, hence the glare, but otherwise it was really easy to do. Once I got our heads photoshopped onto the paperdoll images that I found online (Queen Holden designs, for anyone interested in that sort of thing) it went really fast. I hope Ella likes them. I did one set with the stitches really close to the edge of the design but the dolls ended up being too skinny and sausage like. They actually seem a bit more cuddly with the wide border around the image. Anyways, even if she doesn't end up carrying them around much, I think that these two dolls will be around for awhile. I can just imagine how funny it will be to bring them out again one day, when B and I are old and gray. We'll probably laugh so hard we pee our Depends. If that isn't worth a few afternoons messing around on the computer, I don't know what is.

This is so cute and yes, they will be funny to look back on someday!
Glad you like them. I was thinking that it would be a fun present for my sister's new baby- not me and B, of course, but sis and BiL. Who knows, maybe this will be my Go To Gift for baby showers- you'll see very shortly...
