For the Color Red Challenge, I chose my cactus. I started it about 5 years ago from a small 4" section that broke off of a very old plant, that my neighbor has grown for many years. I stuck it in the dirt, and this is what I got:

| Epiphyllum (Epi Cactus) |
I really had fun with my second choice, the Toy Challenge! I am not a doll person, but when I was a little girl I had some tiny 2" dolls I treasured from the Kiddle collection. Some were scented. I spent many imaginative hours playing with them. I saved some for my girls, and still have a few. I'm sure they were happy to get out of their containers, and explore!

| Always a Dreamer |

| Walking through the Woods |

| Swinging in the Breeze This was a Lilac scented doll, I don't have the container anymore. I also had a Strawberry one with pinkish hair, not sure what happened to it. |

| Take Time to Smell the Flowers |

I like them all but "Always a Dreamer" is wonderful. She and Ed's Spiderman should get together;)
The gang still look great, love the vibrant colour of the cactus flower.
I loved Liddle Kiddles! I didn't have any, but a friend did and I was so jealous. :-) Loved the pictures of them.
You made a fun selection.
Nice choices. I love that Cactus. I have never heard of those dolls, I was not a doll child.
Thanks everyone! Funny about getting together with spiderman lol.
Looking at these shots are pure fun - I would say outstanding ideas and shots!
