Congratulations are in order! Jackie Bond of Australia won Best of Division-Beautiful Brides & Best In Show Judge's Choice Award at the East Texas Doll Show, 2005.

I was lucky enough to be able to give Heather #1 a home here. Jackie made two dresses (I wanted the green one <g>) and re-dressed "my" Heather in the fabulous green taffeta ball gown, taking the equally gorgeous bridal gown home with her for Heather #2 to wear in a future show in her home country of Australia. Heather #1 remains here with me and Jackie plans to visit her often.
