Paper Dolls

One of my favorite toys as a child were Paper dolls.

My mother who was a self taught artist made my first paper-dolls, I remember they were very beautiful, but unfortunately they didn't last long.

I am fortunate to have a few of my mother's paintings and photos of most.

 My dolls looked something like this painting by my mom.

Recently I tried to make some for my scrapbook pages, but they weren't that easy to make.

Here are some sources if you would like to make some.
