"Great Gifts!"
I LOVE these little worry dolls! They are great as a decoration on a gift or just to give a friend who is going through a hard time. My granddaughters sleep with one under their pillows, to take their worries away.

Thank you so much - as an artist I appreciated all the work that went into making these adorable worry dolls - I am using them to make my daughter a macrame.
