My inlaws sent me an email this week that said they had just mailed a special doll to Gianna. They said they had an old neighbor back in Nicaragua who handmakes personalized dolls. They sent her a pictuer of Gianna and the lady made one. My father-in-law just returned from Nicaragua and picked up the dolls (they had one made for Gianna's cousin, Madeleine too.)
Today we received the package in the mail. Gianna and I were both so excited and surprised. Here's the doll:
Here's the picture:
Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen? I'm so impessed. And it's super simple too. Just made out of foam sheets and standing on top of a covered CD. And the details are incredible. Look at the flowers on the shoes. I love the fact that she captured Gianna's
signature look.
I think I might find a little shadow box to place the doll and the picture in. I'm so excited to have such a special keepsake from the place where Gianna's daddy grew up.
Thank you Tito and Tita!! We just love this special gift.
(By the way: Gianna keeps saying how much she loves her Japanese doll. A family friend recently sent her a doll from Japan and I guess she can't get it out of her mind.)
