Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all.

At last I can get started on a challenge I signed up for before Christmas. I must have been drunk, be mad, had a senile moment or all 3, as I signed up to do a doll a day in January. Its going to be fun, get me motivated and in a creative mood. I've got a few ideas to get started with so I'm off upstairs to start with no 1.
