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!)
