The Last thing I need.

There are lots of "last things I need" on my list.

I have so many collections besides loving again to decorate 

for the holidays.

I am finally getting used to the new home and all it has to offer.

I once again am enjoying decorating the new home

and even cleaning it.

I had not felt like decorating for the holidays like this 

since the kids grew up.

I understand that we are blessed to have such a beautiful home

and it's not "keeping up with the Jones'"

that has me wanting to decorate.

It is being proud of the abode.

It has taken me a while to get used to the home and new town.

Partly because HOBL being injured has worried us some.

He is on the mend and I am thankful for that also.

Back to the last thing I need,

a new collection.

GEES, do I have collections,

I have a miniature collection, a book collection, a journal collection,

a scrapbook collection and lets not forget my collection

of the deals I make a garage sale collections.

It makes me sound like a hoarder when put in words but

anyone who knows me and has been in my home knows

I am not a hoarder, just like pretty things.

So, you ask (or maybe you didn't) what is this all about?

I have a new love for One of a Kind hand made

miniature dolls. When searching ebay or etsy,

you will see OOAK.

For a while I thought this was the artist who made all these things,

then I realized that OOAK stands for

One Of A KInd.

I think maybe my new fad is because Bean and I both love little things.

When she holds one of my miniatures  I see her little eyes and face light up.

I explain to her what gentle means, remind her don't drop it and

she holds it softly with two hands, gently and she will softly 

kiss whatever the item is.

Oh I love her little face when she plants that kiss on the mini.

I love that she loves these things.

Another thing she loves is  babies, I mean adores all babies,

wants to feed them, put pacifiers in their mouth, rock them.

She treasures her baby dolls and if you go down the toy aisle

at a store she will say "Toy?" first then she will say, "Bee-bee"

which is how she says baby.

So now I search for miniature babies, OOAK ones to collect.

I want to have them to put in Beans little hands and see her little face

light up, see her soft little kisses on my finds.

Gosh, I love that little girl....
