September in Africa BJP – my girl is done!

Well this month’s doll went pretty smoothly! I can attribute a trip to a wonderful bead store for my inspiration – in one corner they had a display of African Trade beads and I said “oooo, I have some of those” and the doll just sort of fell together.

So, what does she symbolize – you might ask? Joy! Joy and happiness and color and fun – a touch of “world-liness” – it’s been a good month and I’m almost feeling “back to normal” (someone once said “normal is a setting on your washer” and I have to agree! ha ha!)
