My first Licca doll

I felt well enough to go to my family on Christmas! yay! =) I was very happy to see them, grandma, mum and my brother (home again from Japan). We had a great time, the snow wouldn't stop falling, not great weather to drive in, but it's not far to my mum, so it was OK. And me and my daughter was very happy to see all the snow! =)
I was still coughing and my voice was almost gone.. I had to stay quite for a couple of days. That was so much harder than I thought =)
And still I'm not well.. I think I got an infection, hope it will be gone real quickly! I hate visiting hospitals, so I'll wait a bit longer, hoping it will go away by itself!
Anyway I wanted to show a Christmas present I got =)

Jane wrote about Licca castle small shop in Japan, and I asked my brother if he could go there (while he was living in Japan this autumn), maybe take a picture for me, or buy a doll if it was not too expensive, he said he would look it up. I didn't hear anything more about it, and didn't ask, but then on Christmas, I saw a paper bag, with the mark; Licca castle small shop... I was very excited. And he had bought me this perfectly beautiful doll!! She is so cute!

He thinks her name is Aki-chan (He didn't take Japanese while study in Japan, but he has picked up a few things anyway, I'm really impressed, all those fancy lines make no sense to me, but he said he could see words) =)

Aki Chan

 She has a very sweet face! I just love her look!
She almost reminds me of my daughter, big brown eyes, brown hair and a sweet face =)

And her hair is the softest hair I ever felt =)
My daughter loves the hair too =) She likes to touch it and just look at this doll, like all my dolls =)

Next year I have to show you all my new dolls, they have already grown out of my shelf.. The Ever after high dolls just keep coming my way... more on that later =)

My Best wishes for 2015 and happy new year to you all!!

Take care
