I'm writing you to thank you for one of the most beautiful and truly special  gifts I have ever
received.  When my father pulled a rather large gift-wrapped box from under the tree yesterday
morning and handed it to me, I was suddenly a child again, excited by the fact that I was getting a
"big gift."  (Very mature.) I never imagined, however, exactly how great a gift that box actually
contained.  Queen Tiye is stunning.  I just keep looking at her.  I'm so touched that my father
would give me something of such value and with such symbolic importance.  He shared Queen Tiye's
history with me, as told to him by you.  As a historian and as a black woman, I could not have
asked for anything more. We have all just spent the day admiring your vision, your care, and your
craftmanship. As I told my father, I feel like I finally have an heirloom, something to pass down to
my children and their children, and so on and so on.  But for now, I'm pleased to have her with me.

Thank you for making my Christmas that much more dear. I just wanted to tell you that and to let
you know that your amazing creation has a loving and appreciative home.  She is loved and she will
be well cared for.

creations.  It is my goal to develop a user-friendly website that will give you
a tour of the type of artistic creations I enjoy and love to share with others.
 
I have been making dolls for over thirty-four years and have enjoyed sharing

journey by making rag dolls and now I create one-of-a-kind artistic dolls.
