    Ophelia is looking very happy with her present, although Natasha still looks a bit jetlagged. Is she one of those dolls with others inside? They are lovely Ellen; Ophelia always makes me happy.

  • udonchow replied

    Haha! Natasha does look a little jetlagged ^ _ ^ She’s one of those with many other smaller dolls inside, they call these the nesting dolls I think :D

    o i see Ellen, yes, it’s dreadful, we have been hearing about this recently. My daughter was hearing about it through some christian friends, it’s really terrible that this is going on. It makes your painting so meaningful too ….
