Love/Remembrance at Craft Us Crazy

There's a new challenge up at Craft Us Crazy - it's Love and/or Remembrance.  
 I made a box for my mom based on one of her fond memories from childhood - making hollyhock dolls with her aunt.  The papers are The Girls Paperie and Melissa Frances.  Here is a picture of a hollyhock doll from Cat's Craftivity Corner.  
 Inside the box it says: 

 O, don't you remember the hollyhock dolls
We made when our birthdays were few?
As memories grow with the years fleeting fast
My love grows each birthday for you.


The poem is a part of the postcard that's on the top of the box.

The sponsor for this week at Craft Us Crazy is The Stamp Fairy. 
  The prize is a $9.00 gift certificate to the store!

I have been trying to comment on several blogs and have not been able.  It gets in some kind of loop after I write the post and then it asks me to sign in to google and then it just keeps asking me to sign in over and over.  I googled the problem and apparently I'm not the only one this is happening to, but it is frustrating!   I hope they get it fixed soon!

Be sure to check out Craft Us Crazy for all the details on the latest challenge and all the wonderful projects by the DT.

    I'm having the same problem with comments, but I just keep trying and it seems to work. Hopefully blogger will get it fixed soon!

    I love the hollyhock doll--it reminds me of the flowers in Alice in Wonderland but much nicer!
