    I am the designer of the dolls. If you can promise that a minimum of one will go out to a VERY sick child, and keep my name with the design, I will send a pattern of girl and boy body, template for skirt and top plus instructions. I will need a PM with mailing address. Vickey

    Thanks so much for the Happy Birthday wish. I am 72 now. I appreciate all you are doing on behalf of the dolls. Two more go out tomorrow or the next day to a child in need of comfort.

    Default thanks for taking time to reply

    Thanks for taking time to reply to my posting about the dolls. I hope each doll finds the right child to love her, and that at the end of day, when all is quiet, she will be cuddled and loved ...and in the world of imagination reach out to cuddle and love in return. It is comfort for these kids I do this. God bless you and yours.

    We have a wonderful children's hospital here in the Indianapolis area. It is called Riley's Children's Hospital. They treat children who are very ill....cancer patients, AIDS, etc. I bet that some of those kids would love to snuggle your beautiful dolls.

    takes a long time to make a bunch for a hospital, but if you know of one or two in particular, I could send them your way to take to them. If you'd like my 'mickeymouse style' homemade pattern for them, I'd be glad to send it your way. All I ask is that my name remain with the design. I'd also send the dress templates and instructions. If you want to have a go at making them, send your snail-mail address on a PM and I'll get it to you. THanks. BIg hugs. I'd offer to send a bunch, but it costs up to 23 dollars each and we don't have enough money in reserve to do that. Poor sweet kids. Let me know please. HUGS
