This is such a co-incidence, but when I was little I had long hair (dark brown with little curls) and got chewing gum stuck in it - so my Mum also had my hair cut short and the hair style stuck for years and years.<br /><br />Your doll is so special being made specially for you, and with your actual hair! That is amazing! No wonder she is cherished and I bet that old lady made so many little girls happy, the detail on the doll is wonderful!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing xSherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684895103577208094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-9179140520621524482012-05-04T10:02:39.690-07:002012-05-04T10:02:39.690-07:00Awwww, what a sweet memory.

I'm so sorry your were traumatized, I was traumatized when my daughter at the age of seven decided she wanted her long braids cut...into a 'short' cut.<br /><br />My hairdresser tried her best to talk my gal outta it but no go. She cut though daughter's beautiful braids and handed 'em to me.<br /><br />She's almost 34 and I still have 'em. What a great gift a doll like this would be for her. Thanks for the idea.<br /><br />God bless and have yourself a fantastic weekend sweetie!!! :o)Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-51987777008900984532012-05-03T21:01:14.605-07:002012-05-03T21:01:14.605-07:00Hi Sherry, What an amazing story from your childho...Hi Sherry, What an amazing story from your childhood.

Sometimes Mom's just have had all they can stand and they can't stand anymore....out come the scissors for an easy fix! I bet she felt so bad for cutting it once she saw what she had done.....<br />Now to that doll, what an absolute treasure you have. So many memories that surround her. I can just see your sisters sneaking her out for a few minutes. The lady that made her took such time and care, what a heART! <br />Thanks for sharing this with us.<br />DebMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-61767946129606498462012-05-02T08:17:54.645-07:002012-05-02T08:17:54.645-07:00What a absolutely beautiful and precious doll.

Having your hair cut off like that must've been a terrible shock, but your poor mother was probably trying to get you off to school while keeping up with your little sisters at the same time. I remember sitting, squirming, screeching, etc. while my mother braided my hair too! She liked French braids so it took even longer than regular braids! Just think, though, you wouldn't have your lovely Sherry Ann if you hadn't had that hair cut! I'm so glad you have her to cherish!<br />xoxo JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163314579662654431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-43779511222311885632012-05-01T13:56:30.864-07:002012-05-01T13:56:30.864-07:00Your doll is beautiful!
