I have to admit, this wasn\'t a Christmas present, but I wanted to make this as I remember googling the doll and finding the adds when a most loved childhood toy was the subject at the Dares (maybe over a year ago?) & have been wanting to do this page for a while, pair that with this being a Dalis challenge, I HAD to chip in
My computer is not behaving so the page isn\'t what I wanted it to be, but after the text editor crashing 9 times and me having to restart my computer equal amount of times plus not being able to use the doll's photo as a background (it kept saving as jpg with a white background???!!!!????) so I did what was nearer to what I wanted it to be. I was 5 years old, couldn\'t walk yet. I had one of my last operations in my hips. Woke up at the clinic room, groggy with anaesthesia, told my parents that I had a dream, that my God Mother & my auntie Paulina were there and that I had gotten as a present Claudia, a talking doll life size from Rayito de Sol...they said well it wasn\'t a dream!!!! they were all there, and I had this amazing doll that you pulled a chord in her neck and would say things like: I love you so much! Can we go for a walk? Change my dress!!! and stuff like that LOL- The photo isnt of my doll...even though my mum still has her...she is bold, has bro drawings all over, and the chord is broken...all courtesy of my brother (we didn\'t get on well until he was 19 or so) I need to make another page about this when I have a working computer!
