back to today's post ~

"an angel for annabelle"

sometimes, some things are just

serendipitous...

as in,

they were just meant to be

this dollie

was just that!

i found her in my travels one day

(ie. thrifting)

or should i say,

SHE found me:)

i fell in love with her straight away!

so i brought her home,

and assesed what needed to be done.

well first,

her gauzy gown was in need of a wash

so i carefully removed it,

hand washed it in lavender suds

and hung it up to dry...

then i got to work

giving this dear dollie

a new life:)

first,

i "A.S.ed" her face and hands

(annie sloaned)

oh yes i did!!

and the whole time i was doing it

i kept saying to myself

can i do this??

well,

yes!

i think i can...

in fact,

i'm sure i can!!

(i felt like willy wonka, i tell ya')

then,

i added bits of lace to her gown...

i loved how she was beginning to come alive again!!

and i think she did too:)

for i swear i thought i heard her whisper

"may i have a crown please??"

and you know how i love my crowns!

so i waved my magic wand and

wha-la!

a crown!!

AND

a pair of wings!

AND

a pair of lace ballerina slippers...

you don't have to ask me twice for fairytale sprinkles!!

LOTS O' SPINKLES please!

 i was delighted!!

now here is the serendipity part...

the texture i used on these pictures today,

is Kim Klassen's.

but i betcha' can't guess what she calls it??!

ANNABELLE

get out!! no way!!

yep!

it's true

and that is how i know that she was just meant to be...

an angel for annabelle

(yes, that is my mom!)
