For the past two weeks I have been taking a online class from Danita! I have had so much fun and have learned some new techniques on doll making. I am not really to good on the faces yet but it just takes time and if you go to her blog you can see how wonderful she paints these eyes. I kinda added some different kinds of hair from what she used........I experimented a little and the blonde girl is my least favorite hair but I just left it.
So I thought since Valentine's Day is just around the corner this would be a great time for a giveaway! Little Miss Valentine is ready to be sent your way! Just leave me a comment about Valentine's Day until Sunday Feb. 9 and I will announce the winner on Monday morning Feb.10. Good Luck!
We are so in for a week of really wintery weather so I hope to make some ART!
Remember don't forget to sign up for the first Paper Crown Glittered Retreat...........!
I hope I haven't missed this! I love valentines day! I can't wait until my kids are old enough to apriciate heart shaped pancakes and pink milk! Until thanill just spoil my husband with hidden notes around the house and handmade cards!!

"Come home with me Miss Valentine," ;)
I would like to enter by sharing with you,
"A Valentine to Remember"
Back in the 70's, when I was 13 years old, we were living east of Memphis.
It was Valentine's Day. I was sitting, addressing my Valentines, taking
extra care with each one, matching them up with that perfect pal!
My passion for pretty paper things was so evident even back then. I loved
them. I loved the colors, the drawings, and how small and dainty they were.
I was really into the moment, when I happened to glance up and look outside. To my amazement, I saw the most beautiful sight! It was SNOWING!!!!! We didn't get to see that very much! OMG! I couldn't believe it!
I ran outside and danced around, not caring about the cold.
(Until I made a few snowballs!) It was great!
Later that evening, my sweet Daddy made us his famous Snowcream!
I had always wished for a "White Christmas." But how happy I was to settle
for a "White Valentine's Day!"
What a sweet memory. ;)

Well Ms. Jackie, once again you've out done yourself. You are such an outstanding artist; words cannot begin to describe your abilities. What darling dolls. I love them all. I love love the blonde hair. Did you go to beautician school? LOL! For Valentine’s Day - Chocolates, Red everywhere, Flowers, Champagne, Handmade Valentines, Kisses and Hugs, and Children young and old celebrating the Day of Love, I love making things and giving on this day, just to mention a few special things about Valentine’s Day. I love the doll and would definitely treasure her. I appreciate how many hours go into creating such a treasure. Oh how any little or big girl would LOVE this master piece.

Your dolls are adorable, Jackie! Just perfect! When I was in grade school, Valentine's Day was my favorite day because I loved decorating the box for my Valentines. I loved it so much that, as an adult, I helped organize box decorating and a Valentine exchange at my office!
Posted by: Terri | 02/03/2014 at 08:21 PM
Jackie!!! Oh my gosh - you have been busy! They are all adorable - so, so precious!
I would *LOVE* to have one of your beautiful dolls - Wow...
Valentine's Day has always been a fun holiday for me. We all have people we love (not just romantically) and how great to have an extra special day to celebrate love. We need more of that!
Posted by: Lisa | 02/03/2014 at 06:04 PM
Jackie, you did a wonderful job. I am very impressed. I would love to own one of these. Valentine's Day is my very favorite holiday. What is not to like: love, hugs, kisses, lace & ribbons, red & pink & CHOCOLATE!

These dolls are so adorable!! I love Valentines Day; I remember as a little girl my mom would always make sure me and my brother would have a small box of chocolates and a Valentine card from her. So special. I try to do the same thing for my son and husband.

OMG, these are truly adorable! My favorite memory is making home made valentine cards with my kids, heaven forbid we would give out store bought ones - ha.
