My good pal JJ sent me this crazy assortment of heads and parts. When I first started using some dolly heads in my plushes a few years ago, it was because I was on a mission to get rid of stuff. I used up all the doll faces I had on hand and then I started buying more because it was so much fun. A lot more. Now I have a big box full of them and friends are sending them to me from far away places. Mission NOT accomplished, but that is OK. I can’t wait to use these, especially the happy clowns!

We went to see the Cherry Blossoms in Branch Brook Park in Newark the other day. It was like a fantasy land with all those trees in bloom. There were so many blooming trees! Supposedly they have more cherry trees than DC and they are working on planting 2000 more this year! We spent the day there with one of my oldest friends and his family. Their son is 2 months younger than our baby girl. It’s so nice having kids the same age. It was a beautiful day at the park!
