Sometimes I wonder about myself - I get myself involved in the strangest things. Usually they are my own ideas too! This time I decided to host an art paper doll swap. I was really surprised by how many people signed up for it - there were 67 when sign-ups closed. I was really apprehensive about swapping that many pieces - could have been over 200 in the end. But life happens and people dropped out and I ended up with 48 envelopes and 132 paper dolls. It was fun and I hope people like what they get.
This is the mass of envelopes ready to inundate the post office ladies ...

I had to move all my living room furniture out of the way to get everything where I could see it.
But I'll do it again ....just you wait and see!

I thought you must be up to neck with these paper dolls so you are not posting much.LOL!
I am amazed at the variety and talent of the ladies.
It has made me do a paper doll. Will show you when I finish.
I love them. Which ones did you keep for yourself? I love the drawing from last post too.

I have always loved paper dolls and these are so creative. I would have a hard time picking a favorite.
