Dangit, checked the high school website and it looks like graduation is June 16th. We'll be too late. :(
If you're ever in Washington or Oregon let me know! The Palmer Wirfs show was great and they have it in both states.

Sounds great, I'll let you know what's up when time gets closer. We're not very good trip planners. We just kind of wait until the last second and leave. Although I think he already asked for the time off from work so I'm proud of him for doing that much. :P

     O.k. just bought my first doll thanks to this thread, and Tales.   Was as the thrift store, my favorite goodwill and walk into the collectible section and wow I found one of them their fancy dolls call a low brow.  I did not get it as cheap, had to pay $15.00, but I knew what is was.  I was a bit weird have all those people stare at me looking up the dolly dress and lookin down the well.  Felt like the whole store was watching and laughing at me  :D  :D  :D   Actually wasn't that bad but sound good on paper at least.  I did get a smile from the guy behind me in line, as I was gleeful and happy with me new dolly.  ;D    Anyway her she is my first Doll

Boy this poor thing was violated more than once yesterday...  I had a good look too :)  At least you wont have to sew her a dress!  Her body was also machine stitched in parts and hand sewn in others.  I found a good page for faces earlier...  I'll try to find again & post.
