Dearie Dolls 

Bio:  

Mary Ellen's Dearie Digis are inspired by the wooden dolls she and her husband Kip made together for 25 years. She likes to tell a little story with each illustration. Some of her favorite subjects are snowmen and children.

Because these images are free there is no prize this week as everyone is a winner able to download these images for nothing.
