De De's Fixit Shop

I have blogged about my Raggedy Ann Doll before but, I didn't tell you about the horrible accident she encountered. Raggedy Ann istn' just any old doll, she is very special. My Mimi made her for me when I was young. She used to sit in a rocking chair in my room when I was little. When we moved into a new house she was put in the attic. Some how squirrels got into the attic and were apparently really hungry. They actually ate Raggedy Ann's shoes. I was so upset. At that point my Mimi had passed away and I had no way to fix Raggedy Ann.
After I had Addison, I was going through some boxes of toys that were mine as a child. My beautiful Raggedy Ann doll was in one of the boxes. I told Deanna the horrible story of how she lost her shoes. I know Deanna could sew so I asked her to fix my doll so Addison could enjoy her too.
Deanna being the sweet person she is agreed to help. I think when she agreed she didn't know what a daunting task it was going to be. She worked and worked on my poor doll. Finally my sweet dolly was good as new.
It reminded me of a book I had as a child. This little girl takes her doll, who is in bad shape, way worse the Raggedy Ann, to Mr.Bell's Fixit Shop. Mr. Bell promises the girl he will fix her doll good as new. He kept good to his promise and the girl was so happy. I took my doll to De De Fixit shop. She fixed my super special doll. I'm so happy that has been fixed. Now Addi can enjoy the doll and pass her down to her daughter or some special girl in her life. Thanks Deanna for fixing my doll. You are a wonderful mom, mother-in-law and grandma. We love you so much and are very appreciative of all you do for us.

Her smile has never been bigger!
