NOW TIME FOR A LITTLE GAME:

Question:

I initially used to sell my dolls on craft fairs,but do you know why Aliénore was never sold to the market?
If you find the answer to this question, I will be more than pleased to prepare a personalised doll for you.

Ready?

I cannot wait to read your answers.

Time for me to go to bed. I will come and pay a little visit to everybody tomorrow.

Good luck!

INVITATION to a BIRTHDAY PARTY

Dear blog friends,

on the

21st of this month

will be Aliénore's first birthday.

With the toys of the house we have planned a very special day for this sweet little doll whose adventures you've been following for almost 365 days!

I have asked Aliénore what would please her for her birthday and she said she would love to see some

children's drawings of her.

How sweet!

So, if you have children, grandchildren , nephews, nieces... well, tell them about little Aliénore who would love to have a portrait of her.

There will be prizes to win!

Send me the drawings via e-mail before th 20th and don't forget to specify your name and age. I will publish the drawings here on the blog.

SO, 1,2,3, GRAB YOUR PAPER, COLORING PENCILS OR PAINT OR...ANYTHING AND... GO!

The doll has got absolutely no idea of what has been organised for her on this very special occasion .

There will be many surprises for the adorable Aliénore.

Everything will be revealed on the 21st.

If you are no longer a child but still young at heart, you are more than welcome to prepare something for her. A photo, a poem, ANYTHING you want to surprise Aliénore.

Will you join in?

Feel free to grab the picture below to announce the event on your blog and let me know you are participating by leaving a comment here so I can get the link to your blog and add you as a special birthday guest on the 21st.
