I wanted to share today a few photos of the special doll we received recently. A dear sweet baby loss mom named Laura gave us a gift certificate to Baby be Blessed Dolls shortly after Karinne was born. My daughter DaNae and I picked out the doll we wanted to have made to remind us of Karinne. And now it's here!
We think the doll turned out beautifully. I think our favorite part is the sweet crocheted flower that so closely resembles the crocheted flower on Karinne's brown bear hat that fit her so well. I remember selecting the flower option versus the bow option and hoping that it would be similar to the one on her hat. And boy was I pleased! On the doll's tummy, I had them put the scripture Psalm 139:13-16 which became such a dear verse to me.
DaNae and I had fun dressing the doll in the 3 different skirts and posing her for these photos. Thanks again to Laura for such a sweet and thoughtful gift!
what a great idea! glad you and your daughter could pick it out together! Beautiful verse
ReplyDeleteThe flower is such a perfect touch--such a similar match!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura, if you happen to read this, for helping my sister and her family remember Karinne in such a special way.
The doll is so cute! I am glad you got to pick it out with Danae, you guys did such a great job, and I love the verse. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I often think of something I can get my son that can remind him of Mikayla. Check out my blog, I just gave you an award. =)

The stripe pattern of the dolls fits for little girls. The idea is so wonderful, I must say. My daughter, Shane, kept boxes of dolls and accessories. Lately, she's collecting doll clothes. For 18 inch doll to be recognized by little girls, their clothing must be cute and trendy. That's why Shane's sister kept on shopping nice doll clothes for 18 inch dolls. Thanks for sharing about Karinne! You're such a brave Mom.
