THANKS FOR A CHARMING STORY AND AS ALWAYS ENCHANTING DOLL PHOTOS......LISA

Lovely story Shawnah and great pics thanks for sharing

Thanks so much, Lisa and Marie!

It was interesting to read about the people this doll was based on.

That is a very sweet story. I hope that you don't let her go and visit, she may not come back, then we would all miss her.!

Shawna, after all you went thru to be able to enjoy your wanapanda, its so good to read about how much you love her. Your story is so creative, but then again, you seem to be a very sensitive, creative person. Your wanapanda is glorious.

Thanks so much, Elisabeth and Janet!

I am ecstatic with Wanipanda, Janet. I suppose it was a lesson in that the best things are worth waiting for.

Shawnah,

What a gorgeous doll and such a sweet and sad story too! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Very poignant story, Shawnah, so is this tribe a real tribe? Why do you think Wannipanda comes from there?
Lovely pics too!

Thanks so much, Donna and Becky!

As for the tribe, yes, it is real, and this tribe served as the "inspiration" for the Wanipanda and Muka pairing in 2005.
