Paper Dolls

Yesterday, when I was suppose to be working for those 2 terrible boys, I ended up very sick the night prior and through the night into the morning. Not throwing up but where I was constantly gagging and felt Horrible! So I ended up calling and canceling, thankfully the place the lady usually takes her boys had room for them. So I talked to Alicia and she said that Granny didn't have much going on, so maybe she could come see me! Yay! So anyways I talked to Granny and was telling her about how one thing I can send to Dayana is paper dolls! Well I have no experience with this, and was searching online and not really aware of what i was looking for! So she all a sudden thought about the one paper doll cricut cartridge she had, and she brought it along! So we were off! And I'm loving it! I can not wait to get them all finalized and hopefully I'm going to laminate them to keep them nice longer and then send them to sweet Dayana. Yay! So Levi took a few pictures of us making them so I would have pictures to show to Dayana. I am seriously in love with this little girl. She is SO sweet! :)
Us "working"... or at least posing for a picture quick... :)
And us actually looking at the camera.. :)
A car for the dolls! It only had it to print out as one thing so I'm going to color it all in.
A little girl! We made 3 girls and 3 boys and I choose 3 different hair styles each. This is the one that I felt like looked the closest to Dayanas hair style in the last picture. We printed these swim suits and I cut off the bows on the bottoms to make them look like underwear instead of swim suits. What do you think? I didn't want them to be "naked" ... so when I laminate them this is the way I will.. like with their hair and underwear/bra already on.. good thought or no? :)
And the boy with his boxers.. I thought this was cute! We just choose a pair of shorts and i trimmed them up a little so that they wont show when other clothes are put over top of them. :)
And a bunch of the clothes! To the left is where the other 5 bodies are and other hair choices.. then the clothes that are up front is for the girl.. dresses and pants.. we made more shirts after this that i didnt take pictures of. In the back is the boys clothes, mostly just pants and shirts.

So what do you think! Cute? I definitely think so! I found this amazing site called OurCompassion. It is pretty much like facebook, but as I have stated before "on steroids!" Cause it has all the same things as facebook, like walls, status, pictures and what not, but 100% of what I've seen so far is all Happy stuff! Nothing negative! All about compassion children. So yea the only thing is that you can only be a part of it if you are a sponsor. But seriously it is thee most inspiration website like ever. SO amazing. Anyways I found some people posted paper doll furniture for like thee entire house, like every single room and all you could ever imagine in a house, on there that you can just print out! So I have everything except a way to make the like backgrounds/rooms. But I'm thinking if I just do like some form of paper that if folded in thirds fits inside an 81/2 by 11 that it would work out great! And then I'll just work on 1 room at a time. What are your thoughts? Anyone got any ideas for me? I am so excited about this. :) Thanks for your help Granny! :)
