American Girl Doll Catalog sent to my house.

This catalog came to my house and my four year old granddaughter wanted it badly.  It's only $72, YIKES!!!
What's a grandmother suppose to do?????




Find a few stash patterns and less than $10 in fabric (the buttons were $2.00) and…….



closed enough.  I just have to find and tiara and make some gloves, no problem.
