That necklace is beautiful. What a joy to see the fruits of your children's talents (and wear them too!).

These photos! Please please show us a bit more of the doll. Celine did such a nice job. I saw the glimpse you gave us last week and was hoping to see the finished product I have aspirations of making dolls for my children, and Celine's talent is so inspiring to me (really all of your kids inspire me). I'd really like to see a guest post from Celine about her creation, if you're up for it. Merry Christmas and happy new year! Thank you for sharing so much of your life here. It has been instrumental in shaping my goals in how I'd like to school and raise my children. Love, Amber

Your daughter makes beautiful dolls. Can you tell me which websites/ books give her instructions on doll making? Would love for my daughter to try. Thanks :)

Looks like you and your family had a wonderful holiday. I have been reading a lot of your homeschooling posts. We currently homeschool and have for 3-4 years now. I am interested in making some changes and have a couple questions for you. If you would email me I would greatly appreciate it. :)
