What a blessing for our baby girl. They say the best gift you can give, is your time and boy did our volunteer crafter Paula do just that.
Thank you Paula.
Through friends from the town we used to live in, we connected with a wonderful lady who is a volunteer for this community of crocheters; Feel Better Friends. They make costom made "mini-me's" for sick kids in hospital.
It took me a while to fill out the online form, and I was still blown away by the detail Paula put into Bella's doll and all her accessories. This was a huge gift from one very talented lady.
Bella loves her doll! She even gave it kisses! (I missed those moments on camera) Bella loves that her dolly has a soosoo too and couldn't decided which one to take so she tried both! She even tried to put both in her mouth at once.
Bella always tries to take her Dolly's headband and put it on her own head and she loves playing with all her Dolly's necklaces.
Her doll also comes with matching mermaid tails for both dolly and Bella! Bella loves the little mermaid dolly too and giggles everytime she plays with it. 
Thank you again Paula Weber. And thank you, Chantale and Dave, for connecting us with Paula.
Her dolly is so detailed! Paula even added the detail of Bella's gtube, Broviak line, diaper, belly scar and wrist brace! And under those pretty, sparkly shoes, the two of them even have matching socks! So sweet.
Bella's dolly comes with a detachable wig of how her hair was before chemo. And when her hair comes in again, she can get another wig for her doll!
Because this wonderful company is made of hard working volunteers, they need the support of donations. If you feel the need to give to help this great community of crafters they have a GoFundMe page. Here is the link to the FBF website:
I'm looking forward to them posting a blurb of Bella receiving her doll on their FBF facebook community page but the Admin need time to update the page and watermark Bella's pictures.
I love how so much of this gift is a keepsake for Bella. She received so much from this gift and I know it helps her through her hospital stay adding a bit more fun and giggles to her day.
When signing up to receive a doll, the online registry offers a section where you can write a note to your child. So of course I wrote a little something for Bella that I hope she loves and understands when she's older:
What a gift of talent, kindness and love.
