A Christmas Tree made of dolls
I interviewed 92 year old Alta Taylor today for a newspaper story about the Festival of Trees. In 1984 she made a tree covered in dolls she made from scratch. She poured porcelain in the molds, painted the faces, attached the hair and sewed white gowns. The tree in her home was the model and it has 36 dolls in 3 sizes attached to a tall white tree. Amazing. The dolls sit in a glass case in the doll room until they are placed on the tree every November. She is blind now but still makes porcelain gifts for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren every Christmas.

Debbi I am so glad I found you just by googling you. :-) I am the coordinator for the Springville Family Center at Cherry Creek, do you remember me? A lady from the Parents as Teachers Association would like to begin a "Wiggles and Giggles" night (parent and child bonding experience) once a month as part of our center activities. You are my only connection to the newspaper and she suggested that we have a weekly advertisement for our center activities, and especially these upcoming Wiggles and Giggles activities! Anyways, if this is a possibility or if you could give me more information, could you email me at rachel_ilene@hotmail.com THANK you so much and sorry for the huge long post. :-)
Guess I better give out more contact cards when I do a news story...
