The Christmas that friends built....

First there was a beautiful doll by the wonderful Dee,

who whipped this up in response to an SOS from me who left my run a bit late.

Nana gave this to Annie (I always help Nana with her gifts)

and she is adorable. So beautifully made.

I might see if she can get a friend for her birthday.

Then there was the Christmas Elf from Big Little.

I actually have to confess I brought her and couldn't part with her.

I did share her a bit, but she is mine.

I love her. She's staying around all the year, not just Christmas!!!

And last of all there was another Princess in disguise

for the present I put together for Annie.

That one deserves a whole blog post of it's own

but all in all I was so happy with my purchases.

The last couple of years I made most of our gifts,

but this year I didn't have it in me so I decided to give gifts that others made

or that were meaningful in some way.

It worked out great.
