HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010

Memories of another New Year in paper doll style.

This was done by Marilyn Henry and I received it Christmas 1978/New Year 1979

Another look at some Christmas Cards for 2009

This is from Image Arts Inc. card number SX072912 100PC513-04

d505579 Printed in the U.K.

Verse reads: Warmest wishes for Christmas and the New Year and I received it from my oldest granddaughter and her family in 1995.

Wouldn’t mind having a real one of these under my tree some year.  We have been too long without a pet.

Verse reads: I packed my wish with lots of love. And loads of kisses, too – And then I put in heaps of hugs – And sent it straight to you! Merry Christmas Mommy!

The is an American Greeting card number 15x 20A – 19 and I received it from my oldest daughter back in 1959.

Notice the bird flying and the little guy sliding down on his tail.  This is really a cute card.

Verse reads: Merry Christmas! (short and simply)

This is an Enfield Stationers card number 9-50089-17

Received this from my oldest daughter in 1989  30 years later than the one above and at this time she had three children, 2 girls and 1 boy.

PRINCESS PAPER DOLLS FROM DENMARK

This is a partial cut set, there was a man also, but somewhere along the way it got wet and he was destroyed.  The only identification is the word Denmark on the back of the standing girl.

I have had this for a long time, but the colors are still very bright and lovely. I do not have too many paper dolls from other countries but I certainly am happy to have these two girls in my collection.

SNOWMAN GREETING CARD

Well this morning when I left for work it was 49 degrees out.  To many of you that probably is not too cold, but when you are used to high 80’s and 90’s, this is cold to us.  Anyway the cold weather made this snowman card seem very appropriate for tonight.

I like the blue used on this card, it gives it a country look.

It is a PMG Inc card number 82510160-401

Verse reads: A friendly Christmas greeting, to wish you happiness at this special time of year.  Merry Christmas Happy New Year.

I received this from Camille, a co-worker in 2006.

MOPSY PAPER DOLLS

Mopsy is one of my favorites, I really like the doll on the left, she has a terrific hair style.

This is dated 8-22-1948                                       This is dated 9-1-1946

These are done by Gladys Parker and she came up with some fabulous outfits.

SWAN SLEIGH CHRISTMAS CARD

This brings the fairy tale “The Snow Queen” to mind. I just love the sleigh and note the birds flying in front of the trees in the background.

It does not show up here, but there is a lot of silver shiny lines on this card that gives it a magical look.

The illustration is by Lynn Bywaters.

It is published by Sunrise Inc card number XHX4445.

I just received it from my dearest friend Marilyn in Ohio.  Thank you Marilyn, you know I love the fantasy type cards.

HAND DRAWN “MISS PIGGY” PAPER DOLL

I do not know who drew this, but it is really, really good and cute.  I got it cut and there is no identification at all on any of the pieces.  This is another one I got from Joan Carol Kaltschmidt’s collection.

HAPPPY BIRTHDAY GREETING CARD

This is for my granddaughter Ann, her birthday is December 24th and I always felt she got shorted for birthdays because of Christmas.  I tried to get her mother to celebrate her birthday in the summer.   This is a pretty card but probably a little young for Ann now, but I will not reveal her age.

This is an American Greeting Card number 100B 402-10G.  I received it from Janie B. back in 1989

JINGLE BELLS – A PAPER DOLL CARD

This is the last card I have that goes with Santa and Mrs. Claus done by Linda Peck.  The cover is in color but the inside is in black and white for you to color as you wish.

This is from Peck-Gandre Paper Treasures card number 100PG10

JESSIE LOU A PEACE DOLL

This is a sweet young lady from the New Century 1900.

The artist is Helen McCook and the set was published in the “Doll Castle News” magazine September & October 1975 issue.

The bottom corner is off as my puppy that I had back then chewed the corner when I had my back turned for a second.

I have the second page length wise in case you want to print them out, then they would match up.
