Paper Doll Party

 I just got back from the paper doll party in Philadelphia and I had so much fun. I wanted to stress that if you've never been to a party or convention and thought about it. Do it! The paper doll people are a blast! So many stories,  so many treasures,  it's always a wonderful experience.
