Welcome!

I saw this idea for making wooden dolls on Grace Lin's Pocket Pacy blog. I decided to make my own, because it looked fun. I am calling them passing dolls because if you are given one of my dolls I would like you to take them somewhere and then pass them on to someone else for another journey. If you are willing to share the journey on this blog, please take a picture of you and the doll on your trip and send it to passingdolls@gmail.com with a description and I will post it here on my blog. Thanks!

Osaka Aquarium

AAHHH!  Giant Lobster.

Osaka Castle

Here is Missy at the Osaka Castle.  The castle is over 400 years old.  It has a moat.  I think Missy might be thinking it could be good for swimming...
Taking closer look at the "Battle for Osaka Castle."

Missy Finds Her Sisters in Asakusa


Tsukiji Fish Market

The first market that Missy has ever seen is way more hugemongus that she thought it was going to be.  It is the worlds biggest fish market.  Wow!  It is very crowded, and the fish are very expensive because it is brought from all over the world fresh.  Missy thought that it was very impressive.

Missy Takes a Train Ride

Missy is a little nervous about riding a train for the first time.  She is excited to be going on one of the most important kinds of transportation in Japan.  Travel like a local!

Missy Goes to Japan

When Missy finally got to Narita International Airport she was so excited, that she fell over on her side.
To recover, she went to go eat with her friends.  But she was still so excited, she didn't have much of an appetite.  So she stocked up on candy for later.

Missy

This is Missy.  She is a swimmer.  Her favorite stroke is backstroke.  Missy loves swimming with all her best friends.  Another thing Missy enjoys is riding her bike.  She often rides her bike to the snack truck to buy snickers and jelly beans, and shares them with her friends at the pool.  While Missy is traveling she hopes to see swimming pools around the world, and maybe even meet a famous swimmer!
