Then, I keep on asking myself what is the point of carrying on and doing more and more work! And of course it isn't about money, just giving a greater purpose to what I do. I don't think that there is an easy answer to this - but if you come up with any, please let me know!! <BR/><BR/>The doll looks so Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068141700005383278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456780.post-7198434217164253272007-07-06T16:15:00.000-07:002007-07-06T16:15:00.000-07:00Well she is slowly becoming.
