36th dozen dolls sent to Alaska

What a difference a day makes. A couple days ago I was sending out the 33rd,34th,and 35th dozen dolls and on Monday I will ship out dozen #36 thanks to the generous donation of one dozen dolls from Judith McCarthy of AU. Another dozen to be received before Christmas to warm the hearts of many women who could use an extra comfort this time of year.
This group will be sent to the Kodiak Woman's Resource and Crisis Center in Kodiak Alaska on Monday.

Thank you Judith, and all of you donors for supporting this project. I wish I could thank each of you in person. You sure make the world a brighter place. Happy Holidays and blessings to each of you.

One Dozen Comfort Dolls from Judith McCarthy of AU

Yesterday I received 12 beautiful Comfort Dolls from Judith McCarthy of Australia. Judith hand painted each doll face and created such a variety. These are brooches for the recipient to wear close to her heart. Can you imagine a woman pinning on one of these knowing she was being thought of?

There are full dolls.....................
Dragonfly and seahorse dolls................
Heart face dolls Each unique doll is embellished with beading ,charms, and hair. Amazing!
Thank you so much Judith. This dozen has such variety that it will be shipped to a shelter together as I would hate to separate them since they traveled so far from home already,LOL. :-)
