Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

7th June Doll Meet Photos

Here they are as promised, there are quite a few, so please allow time for them all to load.




We all brought some of our props along and used them to practice our photography and hopefully improve our skills.





This little one (above) was so frightened the shopping cart would topple over.










It was a "Lady in Red" day, but not all of our girls have completely red outfits, however, most of the girls were wearing something red.

I did manage to finish Seraphine's outfit in time, which was totally red to match her hair and eyes!

    1. Yes, there were only a few girls, but it made it easier to take photos. Don't worry there will be more boys at the next meet as I have two coming myself and I know you like boys. :)

  2. I almost expect the "kid" in the first photo to reply:

    "Ummm... that's my wagon... and where's the stuff I had in it?" :)

    1. Hi Giac!
      I agree about the props, I think it adds more "life" to the dolls when they are photographed with props. I'm sure the girls who made their clothes will appreciate your comments Giac, I certainly didn't make them all.

    Sandi love your pics, looks like you had lots of fun :) I wasn't able to make it in the end, am looking forward to next time. I really like Seraphine's eyes, do you have a full length shot of her dress? 'Lady in Red' indeed!
