What a fun trip! While driving the California freeways, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. On the whole, though driving MUCH faster than normal for me, people were very courteous. I found there was always room allowed for me to make possible quick changes due to new navigational info from my daughter (even in Hollywood!). We were able to arrive at all our destinations safely & without incident. Somehow we always seemed to end up exactly where we needed to be, despite making wrong turns! I think the Lord may have had some “bumper angels” in place for us! 🙂

It was fun to see all the palm trees. My daughter absolutely LOVES them! That provided inspiration for a new “look” to add to my “Forest Walk” fairy collection. It will most likely be sewn for the Tonner Evangeline size doll. I’m not yet sure if this look will have wings. This may even be the first dress I put together from the collection. I will enjoy looking for just the right fabrics to make it come to life. As this was inspired by our vacation, it will not be in the paper doll book, but will be a special limited edition item. With that, I happily introduce “Sweet Summer Sunset.”
