Won't be long until it is Thanksgiving Day!  Our Little Wooden Doll and her family are so excited about all the festivities!  Lots of wonderful traditional food, plus all that football!  Woo Hoo!  And our LWD will be dressed ever so appropriately in her "Gobble" dress!  Don't eat too much LWD!

Autism Speaks 2015!  Our Little Wooden Doll supports finding a cure for Autism!  As you can see from the pattern of her little colorful dress, their logo is the "piece of the puzzle".  It is an excellent choice for a symbol - Autism and what causes it, is still such a puzzle to the medical community.

It really is ALL little Betsy McCall's fault!  How I loved those paper dolls!  My cousin (who was also my godmother!) would faithfully, each month, give me the latest monthly copy of the magazine!  In truth, I loved all paper dolls, but Betsy was always a favorite.  Below is a sample of the original Betsy McCall followed by a picture of my own Little Wooden Doll - same concept, just different materials!  Love ya', Betsy!

Grandpa's favorite dress for Little Wooden Doll!  It's a Christmas dress!

We have been really busy!

Finally, hoping to get back to the Little Wooden Doll blog!  It's been a long time.  Our little shop has grown over the last few years and the fun level has grown even more!  Have a wonderful Sunday!

How can it be December 9th already? The days just march on so very quickly. Today it is Christmas Tree buying day! We will head off to our favorite Newtown Christmas Tree lot and pick up one large tree (living room) and one small tree (dining room). Hopefully this weekend both trees will be decorated and giving lots of new holiday cheer to my sweet home.

I also hope my cats don't decide to climb the trees! Oh dear! They certainly love batting the ornaments!

Our Little Wooden Doll is all dressed up to go shopping! She's wearing her Santa Claus outfit with the green corduroy pants! One of the 'santa claus' even has a bit of red glitter shining back at us.

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other one is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein

So - I think I will go with the thought that 'everything is a miracle'! Who knows what this day will bring to me, but I believe in a Master Plan, so no worries for me. What is supposed to happen, will happen; and I will do my best to appreciate it all.

Today is actually my Friday! Taking a day off from the real job to pursue the work of the dream job (LWD). Also, kind of excited - heading down to see Joel Osteen tomorrow night! I've never seen him live before, only his great TV show, so hopefully the entire program will be uplifting and entertaining.

My Little Wooden Doll (above) is always reminding me that she needs new clothes! So wearing her little plaid pants (which I love and wish I had) and her sweatshirt top with lots of silver glitter, she keeps looking at me as though to say "the leaves are falling and time is rushing by" and we have much to do!
