Bessie is everyone's best friend

This cute 2 page paper doll set is from Sew Beautiful Magazine, dated Spring 1991 It features a lovely girl with four outfits and two hats.  She has an owl and cat friend.  The owl has 3 outfits and a hat.  The cat has 3 outfits and two hats. There is a table with a small wedding cake.  The artist is Theresa Borelli.
 The text reads:

Bessie is everyone's best friend.  A delight, to be sure, she sprinkles happiness on everyone she meets, like a spoon full of sugar in hot tea.  Her cheeks are always a flush with the color of cherry blossom. Her smile, which only departs from face in sleep, rivals the shining moon.  Dressed in heirloom finery, she's the embodiment of a fresh spring day.

She loves to dress like the older girls, and poses for you in this picture with her best friend and bodyguard, Elf, her Russian wolfhound.

Julie Lady Dress Pickup

Above is a book printed in Taiwan but I believe the writing is in Japanese.  The pages are cardboard like with punch out clothing and accessories.  All I can read from the cover is Julie Lady Dress Pickup.  Julie is blond with green eyes and a pet koala.  She has many pages of clothing, shoes and accessories, (lots of orange)/  There is also a table with chairs and food. Her pet has a few outfits as well.  I'm guessing the date on this is late 80s to mid 90s based on the style of clothing.

Link to New Baby Nancy dressup game

So a few days ago I was contact by Ola, the create of Doll Divine games (a wonderful dress up website https://www.dolldivine.com/)  sent me a link to a game she created using the New Baby Nancy  paper doll  I had scanned on my blog. New Baby Nancy.  The game is made using a website called https://meiker.io/ which allows people to create dress up games without having to code, so I may use it  myself in the future. I love playing dress up games and made one or two in the past but coding takes FOREVER so glad to know this site exists.

 Anyway, here is the link to play with the virtual paper doll. https://meiker.io/play/11301/game.html

Thank you Ola.

Valentine's

I'm afraid I don't know much about these because they came from a freebie table at one the conventions.  I know they are from Hallmark and from around the 1960s but I do not know if it's complete.  I have six dolls that say things like "Happy Valentine's Day", "You're lots of fun"  "You're nice to know" "I like you" and "I'm glad we're friends".  Perhaps these were meant to give out in the classroom.  I have six outfits with six hats, the outfits can fit any doll.

For A Special Young Lady

Here is a Valentine card from American Greetings company from the 1980s featuring Vicky.  The doll is on the front along with a bear friend.  She has 5 outfits and four hats.  I believe the artist is Karen Reilly. The text reads "It's Valentine's Day and whatever you do, Vicky can dress up and share it with you!  Happy Valentine's Day."
