I can't believe it is Christmas already, where has the year gone? Maybe it is true that as you get older time really does go faster, this year has flown by. Now it is time to get things in order for next year which will be here sooner than you think. One week to go till Happy New Year festivities arrive with a bang. Yes I'll watch the Rose Parade on TV even though I can walk down the street and see it in person but who wants to step over the people who had too much holiday cheer or stayed up too late and are snoozing snuggled in their sleeping bags on the sidewalk. I can stay in my jammies with a cup of java in hand and get a good view from the couch even though I walk outside and watch the stealth bomber go by. It is quite a treat to be able to see the under belly of that magnificent monster as it quietly approaches, low real low, then rumbles off into the distance. I can't wait.
I'm hosting another swap at my favorite yahoo group ( clothpaperstudio@yahoogroups.com ) this time it's for Trashy Diva Dolls. Make one get one in exchange and I'm way ahead for a change with Davida Diva already finished. We can make any kind of doll using whatever we have on hand which is easy for me because I'm a pack rat of all things crafty/artistic. However since starting my new behavior called "get it in order" I have found two Fiskers paper cutters and enough decorative papers to fuel a small bond fire. Back to Davida Diva. I name my dolls after they are pretty much finished, which is what you see posted here. Just have to paint her toes maybe add some more netting and make her a pair of dancing sandals. She is named for King David who danced before the Lord with all his might which upset his wife just a tad but what the heck sometimes you just have to do what others will not or can not do. Dance David, dance Davida, dance. Dance with all your might, sing a new song and tell us the truth. Take time to give a friend or loved one a hug. Send a note of encouragement or just because. Use what you have to bless others. It will be a very good year.
