I do have a couple of pages of the Home Companion paper dolls saved in a file folder and I've thought of framing them for my sewing room - which is also where my granddaughter takes her naps.

Much easier. Hope you find all the old magazines! Framing the doll pages is a great idea. Your anniversary photos are great.

When I was a little girl, I was never much into paper dolls (I preferred live animals of every sort. doll clothes often fit thm) but as an adult I just loved ME's pages of paper dolls. I would never cut up my magazines for them, but I bet they could be copied on cardstock paper. If I ever have a little grand daughter, there will be paper dolls. <br />I think when I finish this, I'll go back and look at my Home Companions, and maybe put them all together in one place.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369681864114551968.post-4338363941454706082013-07-15T10:32:41.404-05:002013-07-15T10:32:41.404-05:00Such happy memories!

My grandparents bought lots of the paper doll books for me, and I spent hours cutting them out just perfectly. I used discarded catalogs, too. My favorite paper dolls were The McGuire Sisters (remember them?).<br /><br />I loved Mary's Home Companion magazine and truly miss that euphoric feeling of seeing that arrive in the mail....lol! I've discarded all of the magazines now, but saved all the wonderful cardstock weight pictures and paper dolls. I've used several in my craft room, and have been color-copying some of the paper dolls for my youngest granddaughters. They are just so cute!
