Penny Playpal

A yahoo group that I belong to, Small Quilt Talk, is hosted by Kathleen Tracy. She is the author of 3 books by That Patchwork Place. She has a great blog, http://sentimentalquilter.blogspot.com/

I went to read it today, and lo and behold, she had a doll like mine! Her's is Patty Playpal, and mine is Penny Playpal (the little sister). Penny is all dressed up for Christmas. My mom bought her for me for Christmas 1961 when I was only 6 weeks old! I didn't play with her much through the years and my mom suspected it was because she was on the big side. She wears 2T sized clothes, so I watch for them on the clearance sales so she can have a wardrobe!

I'm still not done Christmas shopping, but I hope to be done soon. If I KNEW what to get, I could have been done a long time ago!

My birthday

Well I turned 48 yesterday on the 3rd. My husband Bill got a cake for me. Cute, isn't it? It's mostly all cupcakes. He said that it killed 2 birds with one stone, cake AND flowers all in one. Hmmmmm...........

Dotee Doll

I joined a dotee doll swap (my first one for these) and I received this from Diana. What a cute little thing this is! I hope to swap more and will post a picture of the ones that I made for the swap.

Homecoming

This is our son and daughter almost ready for homecoming. My husband was golfing and no one knew how to tie a tie! He ended up going to the nursing home to visit Grandpa and ask him to tie it for him. Success!
















This is our daughter Brenna all ready for Homecoming. She is 17. She had a date for Homecoming, but I won't comment on the creep, OK? Anyway, they didn't end up going together.




And this is Jake and Elizabeth his date. Handsome couple, eh?

They all had a great time!
