Above a fairy doll by Jamie Williamson ....one of a kind....just beautiful!!!

adrienne from the The Story Board asked about our Holiday wish list today. Well this got me thinking , for as long as I can remember I have had a doll on my Christmas list.

From Tiny Tears and Barbie as a child to the wonderful art dolls that can

be had today.

And as long as I was going to Wish I decided I am going to wish big this year..... I will not be getting any of these beauties but wishing is half the fun....
