52/52 ~ Here kitty kitty...

Well here we are, week 52, the end of the road!

Didn't think I'd make it to be honest lol. It's been challenging and fun. I think I am going to do it again next year (maybe a monthly based theme) if anyone wants to join me. Also think I am going to do an Instagram weekly challenge too, so those of you with iPhone's that want to join me please do :o)

So without further ado here is my last pic for 2011.

Happy New Year fellow Bloggers xoxo

51/52 ~ What a strange place to be thought Alice

50/52 ~ Babooshka Babooshka

One of my first true loves, Babushka, Matroyshka, Nesting dolls, Russian dolls - call them what you will. I've loved them since I was a child and would watch them on Sesame Street animations where they would pop in and out of each other and dance around.

This one is one of my favorite artist ones I have, her face is so delicate and beautiful.

49/52 ~ Miss Polly

48/52 ~ Little Angel

47/52 ~ Don't Anybody Sneeze!

46/52 ~ What Santa Brought

Look what Santa left for me under the tree this Christmas!

My very first Charlie Bears bear, Phoenix!  Isn't she just gorgeous!!! I am besotted with her and I hope to be able to add a few more Charlie Bears to my new furry family :o)

I've missed having bears, with concentrating so much on dolls I've kinda neglected my furry family. I have a few precious bears and bunnies around the house. I've really fallen in love with Charlie Bears. I saw them in a gift shop while I was out Christmas shopping and fell instantly in love. Their faces and eyes are so expressive. Phoenix reminds me very much of my dog Scruffy. Charlie Bears is an English company that has artists from around the world that design their bears and they are all handmade. Some are limited and very expensive, others like Phoenix are more moderately priced, but still not cheap. I really like the designs of Korean artist Isabelle Lee and find that all the bears I add to my wishlist are designed by her :o)
