My New Best Friend

My girl got another new doll! Meet Jillian! She is a Tolly Girl doll. My girl had to look long and hard to find a doll like Jillian because dolls like her are not made any more. But my girl managed to find Jillian... and she was still brand new in her box.

Poor Jillian has had a hard time though. Not only did she spend a very long time cooped up in her box... but when my girl tired to remove her she actually hurt her. My girl didn't realize that Tolly dolls are packaged so tightly. Not only was Jillian tied to her box, but her hair was sewn to her clothes and her clothes were sewn to her body. Not completely but with enough stitches that when my girl tried to pull her part (not realizing about the stitches) that she pulled a hole in Jillian's shirt and made a hole on the back of her shoulder. Poor Jillian had stuffing coming out of her and everything! Luckily my girl was able to sew Jillian back up and now she is as good as new.

I'm so glad my girl decided to get another doll because Jillian is so much fun to hang out with. We have so much in common. We have decided to start our own "knock-off doll" club. My girl even agreed to get some more dolls if we wanted her to. She says she has some birthday money that she wants to spend and that dolls sounds like the perfect thing to spend it on. :)
