Day #10, hippity hop swap

today i got to open this sweet little heart shaped box made by Ann Marie Skrabo. she painted it a "robins egg blue" and added sweet little pink polka dots (love polka dots!) then she glittered some eggs and a flower and along with this so cute bunny glued them all to the top of the box. she layered a piece of ribbon underneath it all. and to top it off, the bunny is wearing the cutest little foil crown. inside the box was some pink Easter grass and darling little yellow chickie. Thanks Ann Marie!

Sammy's doll

here is the other doll i made for the "beat the winter blues" doll swap, for my bud in Oregon, Sammy http://sammystuff.blogspot.com/ (stop and say hi to her, she's had the flu forever!) anyway, she emailed to say that dolly had arrived and her sweet hubbie helped her open the big box. I rescued the doll from a thrift store. she seemed cute with potential once i removed her most hideous outfit and gave her a sweet little haircut! her dress is a vintage baby dress. i made her crown from chicken wire and then vintage lace. for her stand, i took a doll holder and glued it to a vintage shabby chic - ish plate and added glitter on top. she carries her little pink purse where ever she goes - notice the little bird hitchiker?
