Awe! Guys!!!!!
That is so wonderful for all of you. All entries certainly well deserving of the nominations.

I cannot believe people treat these dolls like real babies!
Please do not think for one minute I could be offended by the above comments. I had no idea people did this with these babies.
Garnet and I started a second business last year called Beesley's Little Peanut Factory.
We created these timely little babies. The average baby takes about 50-60 hours of painting and hand rooting of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.
Our youngest Son Darcy did not like them as he said it gave him the creeps!
We created them with love and joy and for doll lovers to collect.
They were great fun to do and I quite enjoyed it, but the work involved became to much for us and took us away from our bears.
Here is a rather poor picture of one called SOPHIA LYNN

On Christmas morning a 4-6 month old German Shepherd was on our deck!
She had obviously been lost for at least a week as she was very thin and extremely cold.
We had no idea what to do! We live way out in the country in the middle of know where.
We fed her and gave her lots of water. Garnet took pictures, made a poster and taped them to all of the post office boxes in the area.
Also we took them to the Vet, Police and S.P.C.A..
Thank God we finally convinced her to come into the house as it was well below 20 below 0.
As of today no one has claimed her. So our youngest Son Darcy is going to give her a wonderful home. He has named her HOLLY. She will be with him 24-7. He will take her to work with him and home after work. She will have a wonderful life.
We would love to keep her, but Sasha our black lab who is 15 years old is as you would say, cranky! Also we have a 5 year old rotty Gypsy who would love this new little girl but Sasha will have no part of it.
Her picture makes her appear much older and chubbier than she is. But she is absolutely a beautiful girl!

Hi Dear Friends!
I always feel so bad when I am not able to comment on all of these wonderful creations. Although I do not spend much time on the computor these days, I do stop in from time to time.
Beautiful!

Garnet could not make the party so Steven Spielberg was a wonderful fill in date! 
Steven Spielberg is one of my all time favorite directors and I actualy have a little crush on him 
!
But don't get me wrong, Steven was a perfect gentleman 
Thank you so much for a great time!

You know, I just love this thread! It brings back such awesome memories for me. Thank you for bringing this subject up Tami!
When I was a little girl (born in 1956) every year I would ask for the new doll of the year. It was a Chatty Cathy or what ever the new DOLL was for that year.
I was so excited when I went to bed that I would wake up at about 3 in the morning and run to the kitchen. You see my Mom and Dad always took her out of her box and set her under the tree un wrapped. As soon as I saw the box I could go back to bed and go to sleep.
But for some very odd reason I do recall that when I was around the age of 4 my Mom bought me a stuffed yellow monkey with a rubber face and a banana in it's hand and I cried for days because I hated it. I have always regreted that because my Mom is now gone and she was so proud of that monkey she had bought at the Co-Op Toy Land and I know I broke her heart. Out of the mouth of babes I guess! Luv You Mom!

Our adorable 8 year old Grandson Ty has asked us to create a Barn Owl for him for Christmas.
We took a picture from the internet and did our best to design a create a realistic looking Owl for Ty.
This Owl was created with 1" alpaca from Intercal with airbrushed details.
So any way here it is. Thanks for looking!

Hi Aleta. Finally able to respond to a very good question!
We live way out in the country and have only one option and one Internet Service Provider. Dial up is our way of life I hate to say. Having never had fast speed internet I truly do not know what I am missing but I can imagine!
We for many years have had basically no problem with dial up. I maintain my web site etc and have had no issues loading pics or anything else.
HOWEVER!!!!! since about 1 month ago we cannot access our web site, bank or much else. Some days better than others but for the most part it really sucks!
Our ISP provider blames our web host and visy versy!
I know it is a dial up problem. Unfortunately our ISP provider could care less.
Be aware that life is much different with dial up but it is possible!! Living in the country some how makes up for it!!
Hugs Louise
Well Shelli! I admire you for having put in so much work and effort over the years.
Also from the bottom of Garnets and my hearts, we wish to thank you for those efforts.
You will be missed very much but I am so glad to hear you will be popping in from time to time.
Have a cup of Java and relax. You deserve it!!
Hugs Louise and Garnet
Well, not just from time to time!! I love them all the time. Can't you tell from my girly figure?
Well the person below me just cant get enough cuddles. They are a sweet person with a lovely disposition and always their when needed.
Hugs Louise
Awe! Edie thank you Hun. I had not thought about Julie but what a brilliant idea!
Hugs Louise
Hello Dear Friends!
We have not been around for a bit here as we are having such a time with our web host/ISP provider.
Well the funny thing is the web host says it is a ISP provider problem and the ISP provider says it is a web host issue. Go Figure!
Any way, it has taken 3 weeks to get web pages for our 3 new little ones and I am about to throw in the towel.
We do not get all of our e-mails and half the time I cannot get on to TT to comment on the gorgeous little ones.
Has anyone got a web host provider that they really love! We may have to look at a change. Either that or stop creating as I cannot take the stress of trying to load pics and do a web page any more.
So all suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks so much
Hugs Louise
