Nesting Dolls are fun, who knew?

nestingdolls_front.jpgnestingdolls_back.jpg

I am having one of those rare and wonderful moments where I don’t actually have anything to do.  I have a special closet for just such an occasion. In this closet there is a wonderland of project ideas that have yet to be realized. This was one of them. I bought a set of blank nesting dolls at a weird little country store about a year ago. Then I painted them… I really thought there would be more to this story but apparently there is not. I am open to name ideas for each of the ladies if you have any.
