Lynda: It was all nothing but surprises. I thought once my novel was picked up, I'd be whisked away to New York and a whirl of parties and editorial meetings, but that's not how it works these days. Maybe it never did. My biggest surprise, though, was with the editorial process itself.

As it turned out, my editor only changed a word here, a phrase there. She was wonderful. And gentle.
Ghost - Depending on the height of the person dressing as a ghost, a pillow case will usually suffice. If not use an old sheet.

You see, the key to bringing such joy to your recipients is to inject elements from their lives and personalities into the creation of their doll. My friend who screamed loves the country of Jamaica, so I incorporated that into her gift. The latest doll made for Mom, who loves plants, was a "Gardening Grannie" doll, with long, wavy gray hair, and her own watering can!
If you're looking for something a bit different, then you might be tempted to dress from a certain decade. What about dressing in clothes from the 60s, 70s, or 80s. and spend the whole evening listening to music from this era to?
Another investment you must make is on a good wig stand. You must place your lace front wig on a stand when in storage to keep the wigs shape.
