MY JEANNIE WALKER DOLL

This is my Madame Alexander doll. No, of course I didn't make this one. I got this doll for Christmas back in 1942 when I was just 6 years old. I'm kind of amazed that I still have her and in such good condition with her original dress on. Maybe it's partly because I didn't play with her as much as I did with some of my other dolls.

Here's a photo of me when I first got the doll. That's my cousin Jerry in the picture with me. I'm so glad I have this picture. I've always thought it was so funny. I know, I blogged about this once before, but it was on my other blog so thought I'd post it here on the doll blog. Thanks for visiting me here.
No -- wait -- I did blog about this already on this blog as well. I must be getting old. LOL 
Here is what I said about it before if you're interested. Actually it is one of the first posts I did on this blog.
