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!

Missy Sails Pelican Lake

Yesterday Missy went to Pelican Lake and sailed a boat with her friend.  In Pelican Lake you can find different kinds of fish, like yellow perch, big mouth bass, and bluegill.  Maybe Missy did some fishing.  She loves being on the water.

Grace

This is Grace.  She loves reading, writing, and painting.  But she is a little slow to finish a book because she is so tiny.  Cupcakes are her favorite snack.  Some things on Grace's bucket list are: meet her favorite author, Grace Lin, eat cupcakes from around the world, meet other passing dolls, learn to dance, and buy clothes to wear when she dances.  Grace is wondering where her first journey will take her, and especially looking forward to trying new foods.

Anne in Micronesia

Anne Shirley must be really enjoying her trip to the Chuuk islands in Micronesia, which is located in the Pacific Ocean.  I think it must be warm and tropical.  

                          This is Anne Shirley at the airport waiting to catch a ride to Chuuk.
Anne Shirley really enjoyed posing and playing with some kids in village named Wichap.

Egg Challenge

I wanted to be a part of the egg challenge at Tinkerlab by using eggs to tell a story about one of my passing dolls.
http://tinkerlab.com/egg-creative-challenge-kids/

Last night my baby sister sat in the kitchen eating ice cream. When she came to bed, she told me that an egg had run away with my passing doll Missy!  "No it did not," I said!

 I was sure that I closed the egg carton.  And except for traveling, Missy stays in her pouch!

When I was in bed reading, this is what my sister saw happening...


The carton opened slow and quiet.  Inside was a little brown egg, named Samantha.


Realizing she is in danger of being eaten, she sneakily jumps out of the carton.
                                                    Samantha Egg whistles,  "TAXI!"
Samantha had learned about Missy's taxi service from her cousin Andy.
Samantha Egg says ,"Hi!  I'm Samantha calling Missy's taxi." 
Missy responds, "Missy's taxi at your service!" 
Samantha's dad had built this hotel for runaway eggs.
 Samantha Egg says, "Thanks for dropping me off Missy, you're my BFF!  Hey wanna stay at my family hotel? The Eggy Hotel?!!!"
Missy answers, "No thanks, another egg needs me."
Empty!
I guess I should have believed my sister, because the next morning Samantha Egg was gone from the carton and Missy was missing from her bag!  When I saw the empty carton, I was shocked!  This time of year, there are probably a whole bunch of eggs running away.  Will Missy come back? 

THE END
