found on the floor.

what is it, you ask? welllllllll, that would be the fuzz that my daughter (emma) has created by raking her fingers through her babydoll's hair when she's tired and ready for bed. she does this, then wads it up in a little fuzz ball and holds it in the crook of her left index finger and uses it to tickle the tip of her nose while she sucks her thumb. it's just her thing.

yep, it's true. she's still addicted to fuzz. if you haven't seen the blog post of her fuzz addiction, you should read it now (click here). she's done this for as long as i can remember.

she's particular to two babydolls in particular, both purchased at Friends2BMade by aunt suzi. one with pink hair and the other with yellow hair---as clearly evidenced by the photo above. but, in a pinch she will grab for any babydoll with yarn-type hair, or even a stuffed animal with fuzzy furr.

in a quick tidy session around the house, this is all of the fuzz that i found. insane, right? fuzz follows me everywhere. i find it at work, i find it in my purse, in my shoes, in my hair, on my pillow, under my bed......e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e! and every time i find some i laugh. i honestly think it duplicates itself in the laundry because i can surely come up with just as much just from picking it off of things while folding a few loads of laundry.

funny thing is........the kids at her preschool are so used to her little quirk that when she gets there in the morning, they run up to her all excited-like and say "emma!!! i found some of your fuzz!" and she grabs it and holds it in the crook of her finger and goes about to play. hahaha. they actually hold onto it for her and don't just throw it away. so cute. i gave up trying to pick it all up and throw it away myself. it's just part of our life.

so, it was only fitting that i created a layout about emma and her dolly. this was one of the three things i created for the Scrapsupply May Newsletter, available online now. click HERE to read the entire newsletter and be inspired!
