Why The Rag Doll Family?





Hello!

I have given you the patterns to make all four rag dolls and next you will get their story.

You see, my last years gift buddy loved red-white-blue Americana, rag dolls and romance novels.

Here are two of the three. Tomorrow I'll begin posting the novel.

I hope you enjoy it.

And if you know anyone you'd like to give this gift to, by all means do.

It was meant to be shared!

Happy Holidays!
