Alayne – 2012 New Year Pincushion Doll

The name of this doll is Alayne, as a special token of love for my dearest friend Alayne, living in San Juan Capistrano, California.

My daughter Sofia was hosted in her home for almost a year when she was an exchange student in the States.
Sofia was very happy with Alayne and her amazing family.
I love to say that my daughter has two dads and two moms, plus three US sisters and….pets!
